Posted on October 15th, 2014 by
One of SEGA’s greatest games on the Nintendo GameCube was Super Monkey Ball and its sequel. You rolled around as a monkey in a hamster ball, trying not to fall off the edges of challenging mazes, not to mention playing fun mini-games like bowling and target practice. Now the monkeys are rolling, no, bouncing onto iOS and Android devices (reviewed on iPad here), in a game that’s not quite what you would think. Super Monkey Ball Bounce is more akin to a pachinko machine. If you enjoy playing games like Peggle, you may want to check this one out, especially since it’s free-to-play.

It was bound to happen someday. Pac-Man, being a round yellow ball, was destined to star in a game that emulates those old marble maze games where you tilt the maze to roll around a marble. Similar to Kirby Tilt N Tumble, you must tilt your tablet device to roll Pac-Man around a maze, eating all the dots and avoiding all the ghosts in order to make it to the exit of each level. But luckily, Pac-Man has friends to help him this time. Pac-Man Friends is available to download on iOS and Android devices, but reviewed on iPad here.
