Tweet Every day, TriplePoint client AppGratis locates an app that they think ought to be free for a day. We download and take a look for ourselves to let you know what awaits you – why not? It’s free. I want to tell you to stop what you’re doing right now and go get PopCap’s fantastic Plants vs. Zombies, which is [...]

Tweet We at Frisky Mongoose like to play a lot of location-based games; it’s kind of our thing. There have been a lot of them over the years, as designers and developers have tried to gamify locations, or localize games, or whichever approach they feel like taking. While there are some notable exceptions, of course, [...]

Friday, September 28, 2012
Tweet When a game is free, it’s tough to keep people away from it. Not that you’d want to keep people away from it, of course; I imagine that’s why you make it free in the first place. Nonetheless, there’s a game that folks decide to grab, and then there’s games people get especially grabby about, [...]

Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Tweet Last time we checked in with TriplePoint client Bolt Creative and the hapless Pygmies of Pocket God, the island residents had all caught dance fever. That’s the thing, though, about dance fever — not only is it extremely contagious, but the symptoms don’t stay benign for long. The disease has progressed to full-blown plague, and [...]

Thursday, September 6, 2012
Tweet Ask any child what a rabbit does, and they’ll no doubt mention two things: long ears and jumping. Despite not speaking with any children lately, I can take both of those facts for granted. Bunnies are simple little things, after all. But Grabbity, a new free-to-play platformer from TriplePoint clients Efecto Studios and Televisa Home Entertainment, [...]

Tuesday, September 4, 2012
Tweet Dishonored: Rat Assassin is not an artistically interesting game. It barely innovates, and it looks like a pile of old beef stew. It’s App Store shovelware at its finest. That makes it even harder for me to admit that I like it. Quite a bit, in fact. Before I get into the “why” behind Rat Assassin, [...]

Thursday, August 30, 2012
Tweet All right. Let’s start with the important part: Yes, that old lady on roller skates did just plow through every wall and floor in a three-story home in an effort to apprehend an apple thief. Never before has the persistence of the elderly been so elegantly and realistically captured as it is in Granny Smith, the [...]

Friday, August 24, 2012
Tweet Square Enix has an interesting presence on the iOS App Store and Google Play. Their bread and butter, as a simple search will tell you, is re-releasing their nearly infinite catalog of old-school role-playing games like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger. In fairness, they’ve also got a handful of original RPGs like Chaos Rings and a [...]

Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Tweet The Simpsons: Tapped Out opens in the right way — with The Simpsons. That is to say, the first thing you’ll see after booting up the game is a cartoon cut-scene that could be straight from the desk of Matt Groening. It’s almost like the game knows its only chance of winning over the fickle (but [...]
Continue reading...Capcom Resuscitates Mega Man… for a Social Game on iOS?
Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Tweet The Blue Bomber is back, but not in the way that most fans wanted. Mega Man Xover, which developer Capcom just announced, isn’t a continuation or re-imagining of the series’ classic 2D roots. Nor is it a revival of the recently cancelled 3DS exclusive, Mega Man Legends 3. Instead, it’s a social RPG on iOS. [...]

Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Tweet As Gamescom kicks off in Germany, Sony makes some big Vita announcements, an iOS Simpsons title returns to the ring, Australia thunders back into the development scene, Zynga (unsurprisingly) plans a new “Ville” game, Call of Duty shows its stuff on Vita, and — as always — the world continues to rabidly froth for the iPhone 5.
