Touch Attack features three different little bites of entertainment packaged into one nice suite for everyone to enjoy, with a nice twist to the classic Whack-A-Mole gameplay. With funny sound effects, stylishly cartoonish themes and entertaining animation sprites for the in-game characters, Touch Attack is a solid release for time-wasters like myself who enjoy a fast paced game with some touches of creativity.

The first game you can play is Blast-a-Mole where you have to use your quick reflexes in a classic game of Whack-A-Mole with a twist. Not all of the criters that pop out are valid targets. You only have to hit the ones with the red bullseye on their chest. Shooting an “innocent” mole will lose you a life (out of three), and you’ll be that much closer to end-game. The first round is pretty easy, all you need [...]

I hope you’re ready for a visually stunning experience, cuz that’s exactly what you’ll be getting with Gameloft’s Asphalt 5. This iPhone arcade racing at its best, and if you can let go of the habbit of racing with a Racing Wheel, Asphalt 5 should definitely be your pick for mobile racing.

Visually, Asphalt 5 is one of the best games available in the AppStore. I usually like to concentrate more on what a game or app provides as content and functionality, rather than look at graphics that may impair rather than help. But this one is a definite winner in terms of the graphics engine. The details are smooth, and even if the tracks fly by at high speeds, they are never lost in the background. The race tracks themselves are beautifully rendered. Asphalt 5 provides you with 12 different racing tracks [...]

The very first First Person Shooter available on the almighty iPhone and playable exclusively online! Free of charge! Wow, now that’s a headline you’re likely to catch. Putting aside all skepticism, I went ahead and downloaded Eliminate Pro and boy am I glad I did. Eliminate Pro is not a simple FPS game. With all the complexities the developers – ngmoco:) – built around it, including a system for leveling up, buying weapons, competing against real friend (or foes) and the great Credits system, well, I must say I was stunned by the efforts and work put into such a great release.

First I should note that Eliminate Pro is a FPS that’s built entirely around live multiplayer death matches. You can choose to play the game agaist various bots (no fun there), but you’d still need a WiFi or 3G connection to log in. [...]

It’s not the first time that Family Guy pops up in the AppStore Top Apps with a newly released application relying heavily on the TV show’s name. After Family Guy, Seth MacFarlene gives fans another reason to ask him for more from Family Guy apps. Family Guy Uncensored welcomes you to play around with your favorite Griffins’ family in several minigames packed into one app.

The game features a free version, which, I must admit provided the right incentive for me to go and buy the full app. And that is the funny intro featuring Brian and Stewie sitting in a chair accusing me of being a cheapskate for sticking to the free version. I must say that were it not for this little humourous chat, I’d have played the free version and dropped the app completely.

And that’s because the minigames are not that impressively built. [...]

Thought Ratatouille was fun? Well, you’ll like Ratty too then. In the new game Rat On The Run, you need to get Ratty in perfect shape for the winter by fattening him up with all the cheese you can get your paws on. This is no easy task mind you. You need to watch out for spiders, slimy blobs and other baddies who’d rather see Ratty as a lab rat.

The gamestyle should strike you pretty familiar to Super Mario Brothers. Ratty runs around a maze avoiding the traps and collecting cheese. This may sound a little boring and of-so-not-original, but I’ve enjoyed my time with this iPhone game, and I’d recommend it as a good time-waster.

The twist with Rat On The Run however is in the control of Ratty. Once you start out the level, you’re required to press the screen to make Ratty start moving. Once you’ve tapped [...]

The first thing to note about FIFA10 is how little has been actually stripped from the console version. In addition to your standard “Training,” “Penalty Shootout” or the basic “Kick Off!” the game offers three extra game modes for your delight, each with its own twists and specific game play. The awesome thing to note here is that with FIFA10 you get to experience the game from all perspectives involved: the manager, the team player and the team. This only leaves one addition for feature development with FIFA10: the cheering fan or the football hooligan.

Jokes aside though! First off, you have the “Be A Pro” mode, where you can control a player of your choosing, build him from the ground up, play as him and take him to the top. Creating your own player in your own image is also possible, but if you want to [...]

Who here didn’t love Shrek and laughed their hearts out with an ever-annoying Donkey? Who here didn’t think so highly of Lord Farquaad? We all watched the trilogy craving for more. Then came the game for PC. Played it, enjoyed it. Then came the iPhone, and now, with Gameloft’s contribution to the App Store, comes Shrek Kart so that we as iPhone and iPod Touch users can enjoy a good round of laughs and excitement on our devices.

Granted, it’s a bit awkward to have the magic in Shrek be transposed in a simple kart racer. You would most definitely expect the game to rely on the movie’s and the characters’ already sky-high popularity to gain momentum and sustainability over time. And you wouldn’t be really far from the truth.

Comparing Shrek Kart to a true kart racer ( Krazy Kart Racer for example) would be pointless. [...]
