Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition Review

iPad Only App - Designed for the iPad
One of the best RPGs of the 1990s comes to the iPad. It's still great but that greatness is marred by some serious control issues.

Ah, wasn’t the weekend nice? Unfortunately, Monday is here. At least we get some sales as a consolation prize, right? As usual, here are the daily goods from EA Games’ 25 Days Til Xmas sale as well as the Appvent Calender.

img_00096First up is Mass Effect Galaxy from EA, which is on sale for $0.99, down from $4.99. That’s one heck of a price drop, especially from EA. The basic premise, as outlined in our review, is as follows:

The fate of the human race is at stake; alien terrorists are plotting to wipe humanity from the face of the galaxy with a deadly biological agent. You assume the role of Jacob Taylor; a biotic-powered super soldier who must intervene in order to preserve mankind’s right to exist.

Bioware intended the iPhone game to bridge the gap between Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2, and though it’s by no means a necessary buy if you want to understand the second game’s story, it does add some background information. It’s a third-person shooter complete with dialogue and cutscenes. We gave it a 3.5 / 5 back in June. Be sure to read the full review for more a more detailed look at the game.

media.1Meanwhile, today’s Appvent Calender release brings us Polyhedra, a pastel-colored take on the “fill-em-up” game. (Fans of “Just Fillin,” an early App Store success, will find extremely familiar gameplay here.) You start each level with a colorful screen, empty except for a few bouncing particles. Tap a spot, and a bubble/polygon grows around your finger; release to complete the polygon. If your polygon hits a particle before it’s complete, it pops. You’re given a limited number of polygons per level, and you have to fill at least two-thirds of the screen to progress. As you beat more levels, other “zones” are unlocked with different polygon shapes. There’s also a “toy box” mode for just playing around. If you’re looking for a good casual game, this is one to grab; while it might not be an original game concept, at least the execution is solid.

Last week, a member of a focus testing group broke his NDA and provided Joystiq with information and images of a previously unknown title called Mass Effect: Jacob’s Story for the iPhone and iPod Touch. What was made available at that time was that this game would follow right behind the highly anticipated Mass Effect 2 story-wise. You’ll be taking the roll of Jacob Taylor, “a biotic-powered super-soldier who stumbles across a plot to terrorize civilization’s greatest beacon of hope.” The final bit of information we were left with was that the game would last about 2 hours and cost $2.99.
