With enhanced graphics, new maps and the same great gameplay, “Temple Run 2” is an enhancement on the original. Imangi has also hinted that further updates could be in store, which might mean another new map for the game.
Games like this remind me that mobile gaming can be just as fun and rewarding as any other medium. A game made with its platform in mind, “AZZL” can be picked up and enjoyed for 5 minutes, or 5 hours. It’s a truly joyous experience either way.
“Scrubby Dubby Saga” is an engaging and light-hearted game for when you want to solve a simple puzzle. It has a great story element which only adds to the fun, and the fun graphics will have you in a pleasant mood for the rest of the day.
A beautifully crafted puzzler in which you slide blocks to match them by color, “Imago” has a great sense of adventure about it — no matter how many times you play each level, there will always be a different solution for you to find, which consistently had me coming back for more.
Overall, Beat da Beat is a fun, and novel, shoot em up that will give fans of the genre something to chew on. Its graphics are not the smoothest, and it is a little short on variety as the various stages are much the same.
Sword of Xolan is an amazing platformer / role-playing hybrid that I've enjoyed thoroughly every time I played it. With some great features like challenge-mode (seriously, check it out!), a very natural difficulty curve and enough collectables there is no doubt that you will enjoy this game. The only thing that I might have liked slightly less is that it was over kind of soon!
It’s a game which strikes a wonderful balance between simplicity and crafty design; there’s a big game here too, with an unusually soft pay-wall to slow you down. Delightful to look at, and with gameplay that challenges and charms in equal measure, Thief Lupin 2 is one of the few freemium games which is truly worth your time and effort.
Glidefire is ambitious, but it fails to execute on its lofty goals. Perhaps if the game is updated with fixes to the translation and performance it might be worth a look, but as it stands now Glidfire is difficult to recommend.
Boasting console-quality graphics and pleasantly retro-futuristic sound design, Version 1.2 of Flashout 2 also fixes a number of crash bugs and improves your cash payouts after each race, making the game more enjoyable. Overall, this game is worth trying out.
