Halos Fun (iPad)
Posted on December 18th, 2013 by
Halos are a brand of little seedless oranges you can buy in grocery stores. I’ve never had them myself, but I caught the tail end of a commercial about them while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. They kind of remind me of Clementines, or those other little oranges I’ve seen other commercials for called Cuties. Now you can play a cute little free-to-play game starring those Halos oranges for iOS and Android devices (reviewed on iPad here).
Pretentious Game (iPad)
Posted on December 17th, 2013 by
In the 1960’s, renowned animator Chuck Jones directed a cartoon about the romance between a dot and a line, called simply, The Dot and the Line. It even won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short. That may have been the inspiration behind Pretentious Game, which is about a blue square trying to reach the pink square he loves, no matter what obstacles lay between them. It’s available for iOS and Android, but reviewed on iPad here. But what makes the game so pretentious? You’ll have to read on to find out.
Everyday Spelunker (iPad)
Posted on December 16th, 2013 by
Spelunker was a classic 8-bit NES game where you explored a cave to collect treasure and avoid obstacles. It’s become a very nostalgic game, especially in Japan, because it’s notorious for its difficulty. Mainly because your little man dies so easily. Even the tiniest of falls can wipe him out. But for some reason, fans have embraced the high challenge level of this classic and love the little cave explorer despite his weakness. I think they even directly poke fun of that in a Japanese anime. Anyway, now you can play this classic on iOS devices and Google Play (reviewed here on iPad).

Posted on December 13th, 2013 by
Adventure Time is one of Cartoon Network’s most popular animated series, with tons of episodes (at least one even won an Emmy), as well as other products and even a previous console video game that I reviewed about this time last year (click here to read that). Now Jake, Finn, and the rest of the Adventure Time crew are ready to go multiplatform in a brand new quest (360 version reviewed here). Criminals are escaping from Princess Bubblegum’s dungeons, and she doesn’t know why. So she sends Ooo’s bravest heroes down into the depths of the dungeons to find out what’s going on down there. Play as Jake, Finn, and a host of other Adventure Time friends in this multiplayer dungeon crawler.

Hello Hero is a typical free-to-play card battle game with RPG elements, but what makes this one stand out is the likable character designs. It’s been very popular overseas, and now it’s available in the US on iOS and Android devices (reviewed here on iPad).
The Bridge (360)
Posted on December 11th, 2013 by
The Bridge is a platform puzzler where you guide a man through mazes to reach an exit door. You rotate the world left and right with the L and R buttons, so floors become walls and vice versa. The game has an M.C. Escher feel because of this. The black and white pencil drawn graphics help with this theme, too. You can download it on Xbox 360.
