CAPCOM has been doing a tremendous job of bringing many of their A-list console and handheld games to Apple’s iDevices. We’ve got forms of Resident Evil, after all. We’ve got Street Fighter, Devil May Cry and even Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. And now, CAPCOM has brought us a puzzle adventure game that’s as at home on the iPhone or iPad as it was on the Nintendo DS: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

Zombies love brains, but the glut of mediocre zombie games in the App Store makes me think that perhaps zombie game developers are eating theirs instead of using them. Happily for us all, there’s a new zombie game out from GOGN Entertainment which appeals beyond the inclusion of zombies.

If you’re not familiar with Crystal War, the original, here’s the breakdown: Humans and goblins are in direct (and I mean direct) competition over “crystals,” apparently the most critical natural resource in this particular universe. Mining crystal has become an act of war, practically speaking. So what are you going to do? Mine crystal, of course.

Hardcore console and handheld gamers like to dismiss the validity of Apple’s iDevices as legitimate gaming consoles. And yet, somehow, despite history and conventional wisdom, our movie tie-in games are generally much better than their console counterparts. The latest example of this is The Adventures of Tintin – The Game.

Those of you who remember playing Sea Wolf on the arcade will be glad to know it is now available for your iPhone. Brought to you by the same game developer who gave us the 1976 classic, Sea Wolf for iPhone will help you recall the good-old-days of the sea combat game. Trying to stay true to its original form, Sea Wolf for iPhone offers simple graphics and animation, but deep gameplay to keep you occupied for several hours.

Roads of Rome sends you on a different kind of road trip—this one is not to take to the road but to make the road. Your task (and you really don’t have any choice because Caesar said so) is to build a road from Rome through the barbarian lands to the north. The game provides a back story full of romance and politics, but don’t let that discourage you.

Hero Academy is the tiny screen version of an online multiplayer role playing game. There are two teams from which you can choose: Council (human) or Dark Elves. Each team has its own strengths and weaknesses, not to mention cool armor and avatars, but that is up to you to choose.

Mars Attacks meets Johnny Bravo. The aliens are the green, one-eyed monsters in flying saucers out to snatch everyone up and conquer the Earth. You are the commander of our defenses, so plan your strategy carefully so you can save us all. The backdrop is the burned out remains of Las Vegas, and the music and graphics seem to be aiming for the 1950s alien invasion flick vibe and hitting it.

Dominus Plus provides an interesting, dot based clock face to display the current time on your iDevice. In addition to the clock display, the Dominus interface lets you set an alarm or use a countdown timer, all using the dots look. You can also set a chime for every minute, quarter hour or hour, or any combination of these three.

Get your post apocalyptic chop shop warmed up. What is it? Road Warrior by Mobjoy is ostensibly a car race action game; you need to beat the other cars to the finish line to win the round. As you place better at the finish line you will earn more points you can apply to upgrades more »
