Coin push cabinets were all the rage in arcades in the 80s and 90s. Some are still found here and there but if you miss the thrill of trying to drop dollars' worth of coins, Coin Push Frenzy for iOS devices may be for you. Erron Kelly check out Coin Push Frenzy to see if it satisfies the coin push urge you may have. Check it out!

Coin Push Frenzy is an interesting beast. It’s modeled after the coin push cabinets that were frequently found at arcades, and still can be found in arcades in Japan. The idea is that there many coins scattered on a board, open at the front and the sides, and a moving bumper moves forward and back to push any coins dropped at the back of the board up, pressing them against the coins scattered on the rest of the board, with the ultimate goal of pushing them over the front to collect them.

Gameloft is one of the largest publishing and development houses for iOS game applications. The publisher consistently puts out high quality and very popular titles such as N.O.V.A. and the Asphalt series. But as our own Bobby Travis noted in one of his recent reviews, Gameloft titles tend to be eerily similar to other games: "...being a Gameloft game, it borrows heavily (and I do mean heavily) from another popular title."

In an interview with IGN-Wireless, Gameloft CEO Michel Guillemot essentially dismisses those observations by opining that "(t)here is maybe one new idea a year". He further explains that Gameloft titles fill a development void if, for instance, a game like Halo isn't available for iOS. By creating and releasing NOVA, players looking for a Halo-like experience are satisfied.

Guillemot defends Gameloft from this charge on two fronts. "If a type of game is not available, then you should make it. The damaging thing is if you do a bad expression of a good idea," he says. Guillemot also argues that Gameloft providing experiences that mobile gamers would never see otherwise, something covered in my recent editorial about Gameloft's practices.

N.O.V.A. 2 for iOS devices continues the story of the original N.O.V.A. 3D space shooter. In his latest review for Game On Mac, Bobby Travis takes off into space to look at NOVA 2. Does it measure up to its predecessor? Find out in Bobby's review.

Strap on your suit and get ready to rumble -- N.O.V.A. 2 is a first person shooter that will blow you and hundreds of nasties to smithereens. Gameloft's original Halo clone was the best FPS on the App Store in its day, and the sequel, N.O.V.A. 2 destroys it -- and every other iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch game of its type. Featuring better graphics, more and smarter enemies, cool special effects and gameplay options, and the best FPS multiplayer on the iOS platform, this is a game that will make you care not a whit about the near-total lack of story.
