Whenever I think of puzzle games I think Tetris (boring!) but this game impressed me a lot.

Professor Pym and the Secret of Steam from developer Naoplay is what I would call a puzzle platformer.

From jumping off walls to a moving wheel and then on to another, or missing your jump and drowning in toxic steam, this game has all the elements and more that a puzzle platformer game needs on smartphones.

Better yet, the first 10 levels are free.

OXCGN’s Split! iOS Review

OXCGN’s Split! iOS Review

Survival of the Fastest

Split! is a cover-based shooter for iOS from Touchy Interactive.

It’s not a cover-based shooter in the way you might imagine, though. It’s a top-down lateral thinking puzzler in which you command two prison escapees (Red and Blue) as they dodge and take out guards in their bid for freedom.

With an interesting and original take on the puzzle formula, Split! brings hair-tearingly tough and strategic challenges to your chosen iDevice.

Should you buy, or should you split?

Outernauts is a Facebook Game and It’s Addictive

Outernauts is a Facebook Game and It’s Addictive

A Quirky F2P RPG That’s Fun

During the course of E3, I popped over to the EA Mobile Suite Showcase where they were demonstrating all of their mobile/tablet titles soon to be released on iOS and Android devices, as well as Facebook with Outernauts by Insomniac Games.

Many were shocked when Insomniac announced that their next title would be released on Facebook and published by EA. It caused quite a bit of a stir, and personally I never paid much attention to it because I usually don’t spend much time gaming on Facebook since many so called titles on there are just intrusive and laggy.

Outernauts, for lack of a better term, is quirky, addictive, and most importantly, fun.

Is this a Facebook game worth playing?

OXCGN Goes Mass Effect 3: Intergalactic Fantastic EA Australia Event

by: GrathiusXR

Always trying to outdo themselves and the competition, EA Australia held an event spectacle of galactic proportions on Wednesday 22nd of February at SOHO in Sydney’s infamous Kings Cross.

Some features: decking out the dance floor with TVs showcasing the Earth and Mars level from Mass Effect, having a FemShep walk around being bad-ass with her inflatable Omni-Blade and a photo booth to get your face on either FemShep or MaleShep.

The awesome didn’t quite stop there though, as up the front near the main podium in a glass casket there was a model replica of the Normandy which looked absolutely amazing behind the red velvet rope. (more…)
