    This iOS version of the the classic Lone Wolf choose-your-own-adventure books has been out for a while, but with today’s release of episode 3 (there will be 4 in all) they’ve made the first episode free, which was enough to tempt me to try it. I do have a lot of love for the original…

    This is a new free-to-play MOBA that is available only on iPad, and having gone through the tutorial and played a few rounds with bots, I’m quite liking it so far. I do like playing MOBAs, and the reason I don’t play DOTA 2 or League of Legends is mostly because they don’t run great…

    I’ve enjoyed the Duels of the Planeswalkers games, and was looking forward to the new edition, but so far I’m just not really feeling it. I’ve been playing Magic on and off pretty much since the start, and do still play the physical game with friends. What I liked about the Duels games was the slick…

    Yet another free-to-play game I’m trying out, and again, how long I end up playing this will depend on how stingy it becomes with its resources – as I’ve said before, I’m willing to unlock stuff, but not pay for resources. So far I’m having a really fun time with this, and I’ve played quite…

  • Wind-up Knight 2

    I’m not usually into action games that use on-screen buttons, but I still had fun playing the first Wind-up Knight, and the sequel that just came out pretty much feels the same, although it looks even better – it’s a really nice-looking game, quite slick. It’s a free-to-download game, but it acts as shareware, as…

    As everyone has been saying since its release last week, this game is indeed a thing of wonder. The visual aesthetics alone make it a must-buy, but the sounds also add a lot to the good feels you get while playing it. The game so far isn’t particularly challenging – I’ve only played about half…

    I downloaded another new free-to-play game yesterday, this time for iPad, and it’s Star Wars: Assault Team. It’s sort of a card game – in that the cards basically act as avatars for your characters, that you can upgrade – and each mission has you moving through a space in first-person view, encountering things to…

    I’ve had a lot of fun playing this on iPad, even though I still can’t seem to get past 16,000 points. The premise is simple: try to get to the objective (a far away point) with your ship, finding ways to refuel, repair, etc. along the way. There’s no combat in the game, and it’s…

  • Eliss Infinity

    I still remember the original Eliss, and it being one of the first cool “art” style games to come out on iOS, as a sign of the truly amazing games we would eventually start seeing on the platform. Eliss is back, this time in the form of Eliss Infinity, and it’s just as fun and…

    Speaking of great digital card games, another one I’ve been playing of late is SolForge, available for both iPad and iPhone. I believe this game was Kickstarted a while back, and it’s free-to-play, meaning you start with a couple of theme decks to play with, and then can buy more decks, packs of cards, etc.…
