Well it’s another week down and another great batch of new releases for us mobile gamers. We cover all walks of life this week, from Ancient Chinese mythology, to a rowdy romp through Hell. We also saw some unlikely heroes emerge on the App Store as well, like a rainbow-vomiting sheep, and a blue microorganism that suffers from amnesia. And of course, we have an impressive Number 1 pick that could easily pop up on many end-of-year games lists for 2013. Sadly, no love for Android users again this week, but that doesn’t mean you can strap in and enjoy Den of Geek’s explosive Top 5 picks in mobile gaming for the week of February 15 – February 21:
COG writes: The iOS, as a platform, doesn’t get a lot of respect from gamers. And that is for understandable reasons – the plethora of silly, cute flash-based casual games on iPhone and iPad does make it seem that it has little to offer the serious gamer.
But if you are willing to look a little bit, you will actually find that the iOS platform does offer some pretty deep and rewarding videogame experiences. Here are the Top 5 Games on iOS that have great stories, compelling gameplay and innovative concepts that rival the great titles found on any other platform. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you need to add these ones to your collection.
Great list! I only know of two of these, but it gives me a reason to push my iPhones gaming capabilities
"To be quite frank, when Nintendo randomly provided this review copy for me, I had absolutely zero clue what it was... So I delet-err I mean, played it!"
Jason reviews on the Wii U!
Enjoy!
"I’d gone into Year Walk not even knowing what the heck a ‘Year Walk’ actually was – I walk away not only learning about one of the most bizarre, yet interesting, forms of divination I’ve encountered but also incredibly impressed by the game itself. It’s surprising how well the whole concept lends itself to a video game; a massive credit to Simogo. The game offers enjoyable puzzles and a dark, haunting world to explore. This is a horror experience that doesn’t try to frighten you out with gore, jump scares or hideous monsters but an actual disturbing atmosphere. Add to that the great aesthetic of the game plus the fantastic Wii U gamepad intergration and you have a puzzler that you certainly don’t want to miss out on. I don’t need to partake in a Year Walk to know I’ll be playing through this again in the future…" - Use A Potion
Atmosphere is unsettling, especially wandering in it when stumped by some imaginative puzzles! Gamepad integration is wonderful 👍
