Taxiball

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

By Bonnie Eisenman on June 9th, 2009

Our rating: :: CHAOTIC FUN

Taxiball is a spin on the Labyrinth genre that has you speeding through narrow city avenues in order to deliver passengers to their destinations. It's not a must-have, but its charm and personality make it a solid buy for fans of marble-rolling games.

Galaxy On Fire

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

By Chris Hall on April 30th, 2009

Our rating: :: STALE

Freefall'n

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

By Bonnie Eisenman on April 23rd, 2009

Our rating: :: FALLS THROUGH

Freefall'n is a bland falling-based game with difficult controls and a simple premise. Jumping out of a plane still doesn't appeal to me, and it takes too long to be a good casual game.

Freeverse Announce Flick Fishing

Posted by Jeff Scott on October 20th, 2008

Freeverse today announced Flick Fishing for the iPhone. A lush 3D fishing game that utilizes the accelerometer in the iPhone and iPod Touch to act as a virtual fishing rod.

While there are already a few fishing games in the app store (iTunes Link), this fishing games utilizes rendered 3D graphics to a greater extent than we've seen thus far.

Here's a video from Freeverse showing a beta build of the game:

The game will hopefully be out the first week of November. We like what we see and look forward to getting our hands on it and throwing out a line to two. Keep an eye on our new apps page, feed or twitter stream for release info.
