Before downloading this next game, please make sure that you have your power charger ready and at hand, snacks and drinks right there on the sofa with you, because you’re in for a game that will pin you to your chair without pause. The Secret of Chateau De Moreau is an adventure-puzzle-mystery game where you’re both the killer and the detective trying to prove your innocence. The game is designed primarily for the iPhone, but it displays beautifully on the iPad with 2x mode.

With most games I’ve played, the prologue to the story is something I’d inevitably end up skipping after the first few seconds. It’s definitely not the case with The Secret Chateau De Moreau. The story draws you in from the first flickers of the screen. The sound is intended to augment this effect and that too works perfect to set the mood.

Things That Go Bump In Your iPhone

*Knock, knock!*
“Who’s there?” you ask frightened.
“Zombies!” the answer comes and you get shivers down your spine.
“Zombies who?” you ask with a fainted school-girl voice.
“Zombie Juice!” and all hell breaks loose. There’s zombies everywhere in the streets right in front of your house. You board yourself in your house and hold your fingers crossed.

At least that’s what you’d normally do, but in Zombie Juice, crossing your fingers is your worst move since your fingers are your only weapons.

Right now, Zombie Juice features two game modes and two levels of play. The object of the game is to juice as many zombies as you can while defending your yard and your home from packs of ranging zombies that never seem to stop spawning in the streets. You do this by slicing them with your finger, just a quick swipe across them will do.

Of course, some are more [...]

Defend The West Against Aliens

When a spaceship lands in the 1800s in the wild west, you know it means trouble. You also know it might make for a silly plot in a movie. Well, the movie was made – Cowboys & Aliens – directed by Jon Favreau, one of my favorite actors, whom you might remember from Iron Man, G-Force or Daredevil. It wasn’t log before the iOS game surfaced as well, and I’m glad to say it’s not a feeble attempt to cash in on the movie. And why do I say this? Because I haven’t seen the movie, so I’m taking the iPad game Cowboys & Aliens as the first experience with the “franchise.”

In Cowboys & Aliens the iOS game, you play Zeke, the gunslinger of the west, as you defend Silver City against the attacking alien horde. The game puts you in charge of the city’s defenses and his hero for 15 gun-fighting intensive missions.

In order to play Cowboys & Aliens, you only need opposable thumbs [...]

Bouncing Bubbles lets you combine gravity, speed, accuracy and power to carefully aim and shoot bubbles in a match-three type of game built around a graphics engine that really impresses with its animations and its awesome graphics.

Bouncing Bubbles is the very definition of a game with the slowest learning curve you’ll ever see. There’s no need to even read the help section. Just start the game, select your gameplay mode (more on this in a second), and start shooting bubbles.

The way you shoot is by holding down the top bubble and aiming. Dragging the bubble will show an arrow with the direction the bubble will take. The farther you drag the arrow, the longer it’ll get and the more powerful your shot will be.

So why is power an important element in Bouncing Bubbles? It would be if Bouncing Bubbles followed the regular match-three shooter, where you shoot an [...]

You think you know geography? Or, quite the contrary, every time you visit a foreign country you have to do a lot of research because you can’t even position it on the map? Geogame puts your geographical knowledge to the test and fills in the blanks.

With Geogame, you can choose to learn or test your knowledge concerning a certain continent or the world. The app is free to download, but it will only allow you to explore South America, while the other continents are available as in-app purchases ($0.99 each or $2.99 to buy all of them).

Before diving into the actual game it’s noteworthy to mention that a lot of the game mechanics are available in the Settings menu (button in lower-left corner). You can choose between gaming and learning, what type of challenge to complete and various other less important things like setting the question timer [...]

Don’t Be A Yo-Yo. Play With One

How long has it been since you last played with a yo-yo? I know what you’re thinking. “Yo-yos are for children.” Well, Trighede is the game that might just make you change your mind.

Trighede is as simple as it gets. A simple tap on the play button gets you right in the middle of the action. Your goal is to line up at least four yo-yos of the same color by dragging each one of them with your finger to the correct destination. You can line them up diagonally or horizontally and once you have a line, they disappear from the screen.

New yo-yos are added to the board every time you make a move or every nine seconds (at the easy level) if you make no move. So you better move fast. The time component is a worthy adversary in Trighede.

With Trighede, the catch is that you don’t move yo-yos wherever you want. The board is filled with pins and yo-yos [...]
