Dungeon crawler ‘Infinity Blade: Dungeons’ announced for iOS [Update]

What would an Apple event showcasing the new iPad be without Epic Games taking center stage to demo a new game they’ve been working on? As they did with Infinity Blade and Infinity Blade 2, Epic Games has announced a brand new game for the iOS platform with Infinity Blade: Dungeons. During today’s demo of the game, Infinity Blade: Dungeons seems like it won’t follow the traditional gameplay elements we all come to expect from an Infinity Blade game. Instead of dodging incoming attacks, parrying, blocking, and swinging at Titans, Read more

Jetpack Joyride receiving gadgets in April update; over 16m downloads to date

Halfbrick’s Jetpack Joyride certainly impressed me when it was released last August, surpassing 13 million downloads after going completely free in October. Thanks to the mobile gaming community’s continued support of the game, Halfbrick has finally announced what their major content update is. Unfortunately, it doesn’t involve the Fruit Ninja sensei. The next update for Jetpack Joyride is said to be the game’s biggest piece of content to date and will include gadgets that can be purchased from the game’s Stash. Judging by the information given by Halfbrick, it seems like Read more

Temple Run for Android receives March 27 release date; 40m downloads on iOS

Temple Run for Android has seemed like a thing of legends, only to be revealed once every millennia when the planets have fully aligned, pigs fly, and unicorns run free all at the same time. Release date windows have come and gone, but now, it looks like the wait will finally be over as Imangi Studios has finally nailed down a release date of March 27th for Temple Run to make its debut on the Android platform. Co-founder of Imangi Studios, Keith Shepherd, had the following to share regarding today’s announcement: We Read more

Review: Mass Effect: Infiltrator – Commander Shepard’s favorite game on the citadel

Regardless if you’re big into gaming or not, I’m sure you know either first-hand or by someone you know that today is when Mass Effect will be on the minds and lips of many gamers worldwide. That’s because the final chapter in the Mass Effect saga, Mass Effect 3, has hit retailers and is probably going to stay in Xbox 360, PS3, and PC disc trays for months as gamers attempt to fight for Earth. Mass Effect is bigger than most people realize as it encompasses a number of comic Read more

Details for iPad 3 smart cover, iPhone 5 design leaked

iLounge scored some small, but juicy details on Apple’s upcoming case for the iPad 3 as well as the design for the sixth-generation iPhone, which is believed to be a departure from the stainless steel and glass build of the iPhone 4 and 4S. According to the aforementioned source, Apple’s official case for the iPad 3 (perhaps the iPad HD?) will be similar to the current smart covers for the iPad 2, except this will feature a rear shell possibly made with fiberglass and a layer of leather on top. The Read more

Rumor: Limbo coming to iOS, Android, WP7

One of the most groundbreaking downloadable titles on XBLA, PSN, PC, and Mac has got to be Playdead’s Limbo as its simplistic gameplay mechanics and graphics delivered an experience that everyone who played it understood and loved from beginning to end. It kept the player guessing what would happen next as it didn’t reveal itself so obviously, and now, it looks as though the game might be making its way to mobile platforms. The folks over at Destructoid stumbled upon a job listing on Gamasutra from Playdead looking for a developer who Read more

EA removes The Simpsons: Tapped Out from App Store amid server issues

If you read my review for The Simpsons: Tapped Out, you should know that I really enjoyed my time with the game before it was officially released to the public last Thursday. It looks like many of you caught wind Tapped Out was actually a good game, thus making the demand much greater than the supply EA set aside for server space for the game. In fact, the game has been a complete nightmare after it was released as server issues plagued the game, resulting in EA pulling it from the Read more

Review: The Simpsons: Tapped Out – Free-to-Play with a Simpsons spin

Free-to-play time management games seem like they won’t be going away any time soon. I’m not sure if it’s because developers feel they can make a ton of money charging players to speed up processes, or if players love how easy free-to-play games are to play, or a combination of both. The Simpsons: Tapped Out places all of the characters, locales, and humor you’d expect from a Simpsons game, but puts a free-to-play spin on things by having you take control of rebuilding Springfield back to “normal.” Does Tapped Out Read more

Midway Arcade for iOS includes 10+ arcade classics at the palm of your hand

I know this might seem like quite the stretch, but it just over 20 years ago when arcades ruled as the premier spot to get your gaming on as home consoles and handheld devices didn’t even come close to what was possible at the arcade. With the inevitable advancement of mobile devices, gaming consoles, and computers, the Arcade nowadays is seen more as a relic. I for one have very fond memories heading to a local arcade and wish there was a place worthwhile near my area that I could Read more

Android overtakes iPhone market share in the UK

Android has taken over in the United Kingdom as the #1 smartphone operating system in terms of market share. Kantar Worldpanel ComTech measured smartphone usage between January 2011 and January 2012 to find that Android had a 36.9 percent share while Apple’s iPhone had 28.5 percent. In fairness, this should be expected. It technically compares software with hardware and Android is installed on hundreds of phones while iOS is only installed on the iPhone, which is divided into five different models — two of which Apple has discontinued. Keeping this in Read more

Rumor: Next iPhone to show up in September or October, just like the iPhone 4S

Every iPhone until the iPhone 4S has come out in either June or July. For reasons we may never come to understand, today’s iPhone, the iPhone 4S, came out in October. That thew a lot of people off, and we have numbers to prove that: iPhone sales in Apple’s fiscal Q4 2011 came in at just 17.07 million units, which is 3.27 million fewer than in the previous quarter. We all know what happened though. Apple announced and shipped the iPhone 4S and ended up selling 37 million iPhones during Read more
