Incredible Technologies is probably best known for their online connected arcade games Golden Tee and Silver Strike Bowling. But IT is now spreading out to include the iPhone platform in their gaming catalog. The first game from their new mobile division is, oddly not golf or bowling. It’s iQuarters: a re-envisioning of the classic drinking game. [...]
As Trev recently posted, Sword and Poker for the iPhone/iPod Touch is what we call around here “The Shizzle”. Well, now there is a sequel out that expands upon the original with new weapons, dungeons, and modes. You can click here to get it (purchase from that link and help SHR!). Expect a review at [...]
Swords and poker is quite the frustrating game to explain to people. Fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 can relate to the difficulty of making a simple but brilliant concept sound anything but retarded when explained for what it is. Swords And Poker is a strictly linear RPG, played out in turn-based battles using poker [...]
Another year, another year of playing a shit ton of amazing games. We as a gaming society are becoming so high-strung and spoiled from the quality of games compared to a decade ago, it’s mind boggling. That said, developers are getting a lot of money from us to create something better than the last generation, [...]
Wow has it been a year already? Seems like yesterday we were writing these up. Well anyway, here’s my top 5 of the year and a couple other awards. A couple are likely going to surprise you, and there’s a handful I have yet to play that can’t make the list. #5 – Scribblenauts (DS) [...]
Another year, another gaming list. First and foremost, I want to bestow an honorable mention to a game that just slipped out of the top 5. DJ Hero (Multi) Look, I give as much shit as anyone to Activision corpse-humping the Guitar Hero Franchise. Let’s not forget this blog was founded on a comparison post [...]
Let’s just get this out of the way: the iPhone has changed the way I poop. And lately, I owe some of that to the recent port of Canabalt to the platform, because the game is just that hard to put down. If you’re not familiar with Canabalt, don’t worry. If you’re reading this review [...]
Well, I guess it’s not too surprising, but Rock Band is coming to Apple’s handhelds. The exclusive Touch Arcade video above shows what it looks like, as well as the gameplay for all 4 instruments (spoiler: you don’t sing. It’s also tappy). Multiplayer modes (local bluetooth and online) and achievements are also included. There’s no [...]
For you CoD fans (and hey, who isn’t?), here’s a wrapup from the battlefield: The third map pack drops this week for PS3 and 360 owners. You know the deal by now (3 maps, 1 zombie mode something) and the price (10 bucks/800 Microsoft FoodStamps). Look for them August 6th. Pwn noobs? There’s an app [...]
Look, we don’t get very direct here at SHR! We don’t like telling people what to do. We are, and will likely always be, a humble little gaming blog in a nice suburban area of the internet. That said, if you own an iPod Touch or iPhone, we need you to do something. Click here, [...]
