    I’ve had this game for a long time on Mac, but even though I did quite enjoy it when I first got it, as is the usual path for me when it comes to games on PC, I just didn’t keep up with it. I was so happy to see it come out on iOS…

    As much as I can appreciate the graphical prowess of the Infinity Blade games, they don’t really grab me – although I do remember quite enjoying the first one for a while when it first came out. I grabbed Infinity Blade III the other day because it was on sale for a buck, and was…

  • Pandemic

    I bought the iOS version of this very popular board game a few months ago, but for some reason just never got around to playing it. One thing I’ve discovered over the years is that although I am happy to see so many physical board games get translated to iOS, I also don’t end up…

    To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to really get into this series, considering I don’t have that much interest in the franchise – I only played a few hours of the first game, and it just didn’t grab me. But wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this first episode, to the point where not only can I…

    Gotta love a company that shares something special like this – an interactive short story – with its fans for the holidays. Simogo simply can do no wrong.

  • Game of Thrones

    ,

    One of my most anticipated games this year was Telltale’s take on Game of Thrones, and the other day I played through episode 1 on iPad (I play all Telltale games on iPad, my platform of choice for that type of game). It starts out slow, and at first I wasn’t digging the aesthetics at…
