Run Like Hell Deluxe Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 26th, 2011 / 0 Comments

In her latest iOS review for Game On Mac, Yi Chen takes a look at Run Like Hell Deluxe. Think of all those games you've played where you fight but end up having to run like hell and you have the basic premise of the game. See it this iOS platformer measures up in Yi's review.

Ever since clocking The Incident, I’ve always been on the look out for a fast-paced action game that doesn’t involve much thinking. After months of trying out a selection of arcade games, I think I’ve finally found the one: Run Like Hell!

Fish Fillets NG Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 25th, 2011 / 0 Comments

Originally ported to Mac in 2004, adventure title Fish Fillets NG developers have continued to update their beloved title even as late as December 2010. In his latest Game On Mac review, Martin Chandler takes a look at the 8-bit adventure title and checks to see if all the work is worth the effort. Check it out!

The first two levels of the game give you a tutorial on how the game is played, and what all the rules are. You control two fish, and can switch back and forth between them. The goal is to be able to move your two fish through a series of obstacles and off screen, on to the next level. If one fish dies or is trapped, you have to restart. You are able to save at various points through the level, and restart from there, which is quite helpful, as you will inadvertently kill your fish with a good deal of regularity.

Armand & the Foppish Hat Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 24th, 2011 / 0 Comments

Game On Mac reviewer Martin Chandler has a new review of SNES arcade-like game, Armand and the Foppish Hat for Mac. The game harkens back to gaming days of yore but does it deliver the same excitement? Find out in Martin's review.

Do you have a half hour to kill? That’s about all it will take to beat Armand and the Foppish Hat, but it will be a fun and entertaining half hour. Maybe you’re waiting for a friend to arrive, or you’re just procrastinating from doing some work; whatever the cause of your free time (or procrastination), Armand and the Foppish Hat will give you a brief diversion, and little else.

Coin Push Frenzy Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 20th, 2011 / 1 Comments

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.

Qrank Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 19th, 2011 / 0 Comments

Gameonmac reviewer Erron Kelly has a new review for us today!  Erron takes a look at the game Qrank.  Qrank is a trivia game in which you accrue points by answering correctly.  Find out what Erron had to say.

Qrank appeals to the Trivial Pursuit nerd in me. Contained within my head is a font of useless knowledge, so much so that I do considerably well in pop culture quizzes. The trivia contained within this game is presented in such a way that, instead of having the luxury of sitting there and really thinking about what the proper answer for any given question is you are almost forced to try and answer as quickly as possible; the longer you take on any given question means you score lower for a correct answer, so you really need to be able to call up the proper choice as fast as you can.

Gravity Runner Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 18th, 2011 / 0 Comments

Gravity Runner is one of those platformer type games that emulates the best effects of other similar games. In Erron Kelly's latest review for Game On Mac, he challenges Gravity Runner to determine if the best elements of other games should have stayed in the other games or have successfully created something totally unique. Check it out!

As the name might suggest the core mechanic behind Gravity Runner is the ability to flip the gravity during your run, launching your runner into the air to land on platforms above you. The levels are designed to great effect, requiring you to flip the gravity back and forth to take advantage of the clear paths on both the floor and the ceiling to navigate your way safely to the end of each map. If you get tired of trying to ace each individual puzzle it also offers an endless run mode – the Canabalt style part of the game, where the entire goal is simply to run for as long as possible.

Space Station: Frontier Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 17th, 2011 / 1 Comments

In Space Station: Frontier for iOS devices, players work to protect a deep space mining colony from invading aliens. Erron Kelly takes a look at Origin8's sci-fi strategy title in his latest review for Game On Mac. Check it out!

Assigning a score to a game is almost as subjective as writing the review of the game in question. It’s a little easier to assign the score, especially when you work with a small, matter-of-fact scale from one to five. Still, what could be a five to someone else might only score a four to someone else. Such is the case with this review of Space Station: Frontier.

Firetail 2 Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 14th, 2011 / 1 Comments

Retro gaming is a big hit on iTunes these days. In our latest Game On Mac review, Erron Kelly takes a look at retro-inspired Firetail 2. The graphics and game play dredge up memories of Qix and Fill It. Take a stroll down memory lane with Erron's review.

I went on a tear through the iTunes store recently, searching for games similar to games I had played in various forms years ago. It was this little trip down nostalgia lane that led me to picking up Fire Tail 2 due to the similarities it appeared to share with Java games like Fill It and actual titles like Qix, and I was not disappointed.

Trucks and Skulls Review

Posted by Suzie Ford on Jan 13th, 2011 / 1 Comments

Trucks and Skulls is a physics puzzler filled with explosions, collapsing buildings, wicked cool art, and the most epic collection of Monster Trucks ever. Game On Mac reviewer Drew Wood has a new review for our readers today. Drew takes a look at Trucks and Skulls for iOS devices. Check out Drew's review.

Okay, so you have the gameplay, which is pretty much identical to Angry Birds.  If you're familiar with Angry Birds, the Trucks are the Birds and the Skulls are the Pigs.  If you're not familiar with Angry Birds, let me give you a little more to go on:  Trucks & Skulls is a problem solving puzzle game where you are given a certain amount of and different types of Trucks to dismantle the protective layers of glass, ice and steel around these skulls.
