Review: iQuarters (iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad)

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. [...]

iPhone Alert: Sword and Poker 2 Now Available

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 [...]

iGem: Swords And Poker (iPhone, iPod touch)

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 [...]

Review: Canabalt (iPhone/iPod Touch)

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 [...]

Rock Band En Route to iPhone

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 [...]

Call Of Duty Wrapup: DLC, iPhones, and Patches!

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 [...]

Peggle for iPhone/iPod Touch insanely cheap til Sunday

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, [...]

Review: Wheel Of Fortune (iPhone)

I love to play Wheel Of Fortune, because I have this odd quirk where I can solve puzzles ridiculously early. So when I saw that the almighty iPhone had it available, I immediately forked up $5 to play it. Was it worth it? Read on to find out.

Resident Evil: Degeneration Lands on iPhone

What is with all of the “out of nowhere” iPhone releases? I guess it’s related to Apple’s arcane approval process. Anyways, another game that sounds like it should have had a little more notice or noise around it, Capcom has released a version of Resident Evil for the iPhone. It appears to have a pseudo [...]

SHR! Review: Peggle (iPhone / iPod Touch)

Peggle. Peggle peggle peggle. Are you sick of Peggle yet? No? Good! I know that we’ve reviewed Peggle in the past for XBLA, but now, Peggle is back and it’s in your pocket. Sure, there’s not much changed, but there are some minor additions. But is it worth your $4.99? Read on for my take [...]
