Resident Evil 4 review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Campbell Bird on February 14th, 2024
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: REMADE BEYOND RECOGNITION
Seeing modern, major releases come to mobile is worth celebrating, but that doesn’t change the fact that this “re-make” is fairly disappointing.

First Impressions of Resident Evil 4 on iOS

Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: REMADE BEYOND RECOGNITION :: Read Review »

Resident Evil 4 comes to iOS today, and we've taken video of the entire free portion that is available to let you see it in action and get a sense of how this new version fares. The short version is, this game feels an awful lot like the port job of Resident Evil Village, albeit with a modern classic, as opposed to a game that feels like a dated also-ran.

Read on below if you want more detailed perspective on Resident Evil 4 on iOS. Otherwise, you can look through the video to see it in action along with some light captions reflecting on the play session.

Resident Evil Village review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Campbell Bird on November 10th, 2023
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: HOW FAR WE’VE COME?
This iOS port is fine, and otherwise this Resident Evil game is enjoyable in a kind of risk-averse, tried-and-true-formula kind of way.

First Impressions of Resident Evil Village on iOS

Apple talked a big game about bringing bigger (ahem) games to mobile at last year's WWDC, and the first title they touted as part of this effort is finally out. Capcom's Resident Evil Village is out now on the App Store and is a complete mobile port of the original game.

I've gotten my hands on it and put a decent amount of time into the spooky survival-horror game, getting just a bit past the title's "free-to-start" section and I recorded most of that experience in the video above. Because of Capcom's rules about sharing gameplay, the video also has editorial captions about what I think of the game, but I'll also outline some more thoughts below.

Can you survive five nights as the new night watchman of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza? Be warned: the resident animatronic mascots are a bit... buggy. Good luck!

Alone in the Dark Review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Rob Rich on May 23rd, 2014
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: FOREVER ALONE
Not even the deeply ingrained nostalgia over one of the world’s earliest “Survival Horror” games is enough to make this port worthwhile.

Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: FOREVER ALONE :: Read Review »

Remember last week when we mentioned that Alone in the Dark was coming to the App Store? And remember how it didn't? Well it turns out all it needed was a little time.

The classic Survival Horror game that predates the term "Survival Horror" (seriously, it's over 20 years old) is now available on the App Store, for real this time. No, really, it's totally up there. This isn't some bizarre demonic trick or anything, honest.

You can download this little piece of gaming history right now for $0.99.

Posted by Ellis Spice on May 14th, 2014

Prepare yourself, AppSpy reports that something Lovecraftian is set to sneak its way onto the App Store tonight. The original 1992 version of Alone in the Dark, widely seen as the game that inspired the survival horror genre, is set to launch tonight - allowing players to take on the role of Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood once more.

Survival horror fans should prepare for the witching hour, when the clocks strikes twelve, as that is when Alone in the Dark is set to arrive tonight for $0.99.

Forgotten Memories - Alternate Realities is a third-person survival horror game that has players adventuring through dark environments with only a flashlight in hand.

Organ Trail: Director's Cut Review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Rob Rich on August 10th, 2012
Our rating: starstarstarstarhalfstar :: ROAD TRIP FOR YOUR LIFE
Organ Trail: Director's Cut might just look like an Apple 2 classic with a "fresh" coat of Zombie Paint, but it does more than simply re-skin a classic gaming gem.
