Fallen EP-1 Review: Nasty, Gritty And PERFECTLY Horrifying!

Who doesn’t like a good ol nasty horror fest film? By the tremendous success of Paranormal Activity, I think the answer is ALL OF US!

Fallen EP-1 ($1.99 - On Sale)

fallen_episode1_review_1

Fallen is the beginning of what we think is an epic action game which is SERIOUSLY NOT for the faint of heart. It’s so nasty and gritty it compares to those ultimately gory movies (like SAW) to make up one thrilling game!

DropBrick, Bubble Fans: Eye Catching FREE Games Today

As if we need any more indication that iPhone development isn’t quite the goldmine most people lead you to believe, here are two games that are actually good that are FREE which we missed initially.

DropBrick

dropbrick-1 dropbrick-1

DropBrick is like Topple 2 given the Doodle-theme treatment. There are over 70 levels each with varying goals like height and weight measurements. I’d say the physics are pretty good too so make sure to give it a try.

Bubble Fans

Daniel absolutely hated Snood but loved Bust-A-Move. Something tells me the quality of this game is dead smack in the middle of the two. The graphics and animation detailing are actually quite nice and delightful.

Across Age: See The Commercial That Missed The Superbowl Cut

Looky what we got here… It seems that iPhone developers are now stepping up on creating trailers for their upcoming games that calling them trailers doesn’t cut it anymore. Checkout FDG Entertainment’s commercial for Across Age:

The player steps into the role of 2 switchable characters: swordsman Ales and magician Ceska, each with own fighting and special skills that are needed to solve tricky puzzles and successfully battle fierce monsters.

This cooperative element is one of the key features of the game. Another key feature is the possibility to travel through time and revisit places, enabling exciting events and riddles.

We’ve seen Namco release numerous games for the iPhone however most games are met with criticism good and bad. Something tells me this game is one of their games that are simply runaway hits from the get go. Also, does this port by Namco live up to the console version of the game? Find out after the jump.

The Hero: Chillingo’s Upcoming Game That Might Save Us All!

Well it seems like Chillingo is back in full swing this year building up on their publishing success from last year. With the recent releases of Cogs and Guerrilla Bob, both of which are awesome by the way, comes a trailer and promo parade for The Hero:

The game involves “crashing and bashing into a sh#tload of different enemies, 15 level campaign with a wacky storyline, survival mode, strange humor and fast paced action”. If both videos don’t sound interesting enough, let’s further discuss…

New Releases: Tapulous’ Riddim Ribbon, Gameloft’s GT Racing: Motor Academy

Not even on the night of the Superbowl does Apple give us a break with the game releases. Tonight two heavily awaited games were finally released!

Tapulous Riddim Ribbon

I got that boom boom pow… errr… sorry got distracted. Riddim Ribbon (iTunes Link) is finally out in the wild. We first saw it at the Apple event, demo’d together with Gameloft’s NOVA (sorta funny both make news at the same time again).

riddimbiddon_released

Riddim Ribbon is an Audiosurf like game where you must keep the ball on track, and can switch between tracks for different mixes of the songs, creating at the end your own custom mix of the song.

GT Racing: Motor Academy (iTunes Link)

We first saw Real Racing, then NFS Shift. Now it’s Gameloft’s turn at a racing game that isn’t pure arcade like racing / physics. Not much about the game had been known before, but judging on the screenshots it looked quite impressive.

Could this be the new king in the racing genre for iPhone? We’ll have impressions up shortly.

NimbleBit News: Moon Drop Gets Plus+, Scoops Gets IAP

NimbleBit remains as one of our favorite developers as they continually dish out good casual games. A couple days ago, they prove deserving of that by releasing updates to a couple of their MOST loved games!

Scoops Gets In-App Purchase Themes!

Earlier it seemed like it would be a sequel for Scoops (iTunes Link) but instead the original Scoops has been updated with in-app purchase for themes. So now you have the original Scoops theme, a FREE Sky Burger theme, and then the new 99 cents theme, Kawaii.

scoops_skyburger scoops_kawaii

Seems to be selling well, Scoops has just made it to the top 100 grossing. I’m personally liking the new theme more than the original. Can I haz more? :)

Moon Drop Plus+

NimbleBit got rid of their Twitter highscore board for Moon Drop and has added ngmoco’s Plus+ network which is more than an intelligent decision granted the size of the iPhone social platform:
