    This is another game that I’ve had for a while, but don’t think I included it here. It’s the iOS version of Runner 2, a game that I really loved playing on the PS3. It of course translates perfectly on the iPad, and so if you’ve never experienced it, this is a great way to…

    I got this game when it originally came out, which was quite a while ago, but noticed that I didn’t include it here and so wanted to rectify that. It’s an awesome game – in fact it’s one of my favorite games of the year – and if you don’t already have it you should…

    I’ve had this game for a long time on Mac, but even though I did quite enjoy it when I first got it, as is the usual path for me when it comes to games on PC, I just didn’t keep up with it. I was so happy to see it come out on iOS…

    As much as I can appreciate the graphical prowess of the Infinity Blade games, they don’t really grab me – although I do remember quite enjoying the first one for a while when it first came out. I grabbed Infinity Blade III the other day because it was on sale for a buck, and was…

    I bought the iOS version of this very popular board game a few months ago, but for some reason just never got around to playing it. One thing I’ve discovered over the years is that although I am happy to see so many physical board games get translated to iOS, I also don’t end up…

    As included on my list of favorite games of the year, The Banner Saga is indeed a fantastic game, but I’m especially happy to be playing it now on iPad. As much as I loved it before, I make no secret of the fact that I don’t really like playing games on my laptop, and…

    To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to really get into this series, considering I don’t have that much interest in the franchise – I only played a few hours of the first game, and it just didn’t grab me. But wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this first episode, to the point where not only can I…

    One of my most anticipated games this year was Telltale’s take on Game of Thrones, and the other day I played through episode 1 on iPad (I play all Telltale games on iPad, my platform of choice for that type of game). It starts out slow, and at first I wasn’t digging the aesthetics at…

    You all picked up Simogo’s The Sailor’s Dream when it came out for iOS, right? Right? Again, just a fantastic game, and one that shows how interesting a gaming experience you can create on iOS. I played it on iPad, which I think is best for really taking in the visuals – although it does…

    I wasn’t really interested in trying this game out, especially when it was released on iPad and people were talking about the excessive purchasable in-game currency. But a friend said he was having fun with it, so I decided to give it a spin, and have ended up having fun with it. It’s not perfect…
