LINE Cookie Run Review - An Extraordinary Platform Runner

LINE Cookie Run is a cute side-scrolling endless running game for iOS and Android. Presented by Naver Japan, it is built for LINE, a Japanese social network App like Facebook or Twitter. LINE Cookie Run is nothing more than another Mini Ninjas, or Robot Unicorn Attack. But it is much better than any previous titles.

You start off by playing as an adorable cookie, which looks pretty much like the gingerbread man in the Shrek films, and your goal is to outrun the witch that is trying to catch you and cook you.Read more…

First Look: Drive: USA - An Endless Runner with A Car Driving Skin

Codemasters, the veteran video game developer behind F1 Challenge, Colin McRae Rally, Boom! Tank and more, has just released Drive: USA on the NZ App Store, a sign of that it’s going worldwide very soon. When we first saw the title two months ago, it was undergoing a test run in the Singapore App Store. From its name and screenshots, I got to the conclusion that this game is a car driving/racing game. But astonishingly it’s not. And at its core, it is nothing but an endless running game, just with a car at your hand’s control. Read more…

First Look: ACR Drift - With Similar Format to CSR Racing and FF6

If you are familiar with car racing games on the iOS platform, you won’t be alien to Fast and Furious 6 and CSR Racing. Those two were top-charting apps for a decent period of time in the year 2013. These day you may have heard less about them as new loads of games are constantly coming up. Among them is a game called ACR Drift, developed by Eutechnyx and Crooz. Read more…

First Look: Sorceress of Fortune - RPG plus Match-3

Sorceress of Fortune, the sequel to 2010 released Sorcerer of Fortune, marks the 5th story of the Fortune Chronicle Episode by Dotomchi. It’s an RPG title infused with match-3 puzzles. Sounds pretty much like typical puzzle RPGs like Puzzle & Dragons and Battle Camp? As a matter of fact, it’s much different from those, as it also includes typical RPG elements like character upgrading, equipment looting, etc. Read more…

First Look: Mad Skills Motocross 2 - Highly Addictive, Yet Need Some Time to Master

The original Mad Skills Motocross game was a huge success when it was released back in 2011. It got millions of worldwide players addicted to its play and more than 110 thousand players’ likes on Facebook. And then a spin-off named Mad Skills BMX followed in 2012, which also made a smash hit. That must give Turborilla, the 8-year Sweden-based video game developer, a lot of confidence to bring an official sequel to it. Read more…

First Look: Deadman’s Cross - Extremely Similar to Guardian Cross

Square Enix, the Japanese video game tycoon famous for creating the Final Fantasy series and the Dragon Quest series, just released a new mobile game called Deadman’s Cross, which turns out to be a zombie-themed card battle RPG. The game is a spin-off of the previously released card game Guardian Cross.

We spent some minutes in the game and found that the game closely resembles Guardian Cross in almost every respect, ranging from interface, to artwork, and to gameplay. We did see a remarkable improvement on the visuals, but that’s pretty much all there is. Read more…

Naughty Kitties Review - An Incredible Hybrid of Tower Defense and Endless Running

The more games I play, the better I realize that it may not be appropriate to simply judge a game from its appearances. Flappy Bird was a most recent example. Its sudden surge was one of weirdest things that’s ever happened in the iOS gaming world. But one thing is for sure, it has its own share of uniqueness that makes it arrive there. In this sense, Naughty Kitties, a recent installment of Coconut Island Games Limited, could serve as another excellent example of how simple gaming mechanics can work magic. Read more…
