Kingdom Rush Is As Addicting As A Tower Defense Game Comes [iOS]
I should have started writing this article about two hours ago, but I didn't. Why? Because I could not stop playing Kingdom Rush. I knew I needed to write about the game, and before each round I kept telling myself, "this will be the last one and then I would get to work." Finally, I have managed to put the game down, and alas, here we are.
Ridiculous Fishing: Way More Than Just a Cloned Game [iOS]
Ridiculous Fishing is a brilliant game, regardless of how many mistakes the developers made and how long it took to arrive on iOS.

Hundreds: A Game Like You've Never Played Before [iOS]
I’m not a gamer. The last gaming console I owned was the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or SNES), which gave me hours of pleasure with Yoshi’s Island, and that’s after years of work on mastering Super Mario 3 on the classic NES. These consoles marked the end of my gaming days, at least the serious ones. But my interest in gaming got piqued again when I got my iPad 3 years ago.
Plants Vs Zombies Is Still One Of The Most Fun Things You Can Do On Mobile [iOS]
The world of iOS gaming moves fast. Games come out, generate hype, and are forgotten all in a matter of a couple of days. On consoles, gamers will stick with a game longer, but with the low-cost of games on iOS, gamers are always looking to move on to the next big thing. When a game is able to stand the test of time and remain popular long after its release, it deserves to be praised, because very few iOS games are able to make this happen.
Real Racing 3: The Best Mobile Racing Game Goes Free
The original Real Racing was a very playable yet basic racing game that got the fundamentals right and earned itself a following among mobile gamers for being the Gran Turismo or Forza of the platform.

7 Classic Video Games You Can Play On iOS [MUO Gaming]
I've made it no secret that I am a big fan of classic gaming. I've written about NES games with insane values, websites for collectors, and even games that retailers overcharge for.

Splice Genes & Build A Utopian City In Pixel People For iOS
It's a city building game with a twist - instead of dealing with economics, politics and waste management, you just build a utopia. For fun. And you clone people too! It's a creative, methodical but altogether casual attempt at a classic genre and the result is like crack for your thumbs.

Slice It - Piece Of Cake Or A Hard Shape To Crack? Play The Very Addictive Puzzler [iOS]

Strategize Using Simplicity With Tower Defense: Lost Earth [iPhone]
I enjoy strategy games for the very same reason that I enjoy sabotaging high profile companies - you set up a few patsies to do your bidding, hike away to a safe distance, and watch all of the action happen without having to lift another finger. Well, in the case of the Com2US’s Tower Defense: Lost Earth for iPhone, you actually have to lift a finger....just one, though. Sometimes two.

We played Riptide GP on a Nexus 7 and the graphics were great – don’t let anyone tell you Android don’t have great games.
