  • Blood & Laurels

    —

    ,

    Another one of those games from earlier this year that I somehow didn’t post about here, but that I highly enjoyed. You like text adventures? Well, then you’ll want to get this. The interface is great – all touch, selecting from choices – and more importantly, it’s very well written. I hope we get more…

  • Run Sackboy! Run!

    ,

    An iOS runner using the LittleBigPlanet aesthetics, and it’s free? Yup, definitely worth a download, and although you probably won’t be playing it for that long – just the nature of the runner now, considering how many of them we’ve played over the years – but it’s well worth a play if you dig on…

  • Bit.Trip Run!

    —

    ,

    This is another game that I’ve had for a while, but don’t think I included it here. It’s the iOS version of Runner 2, a game that I really loved playing on the PS3. It of course translates perfectly on the iPad, and so if you’ve never experienced it, this is a great way to…

  • 80 Days

    ,

    I got this game when it originally came out, which was quite a while ago, but noticed that I didn’t include it here and so wanted to rectify that. It’s an awesome game – in fact it’s one of my favorite games of the year – and if you don’t already have it you should…

  • Papers, Please

    —

    ,

    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…

  • Infinity Blade III

    —

    ,

    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…

  • The Banner Saga

    —

    ,

    As included on my list of favorite games of the year, The Banner Saga is indeed a fantastic game, but I’m especially happy to be playing it now on iPad. As much as I loved it before, I make no secret of the fact that I don’t really like playing games on my laptop, and…
