STP: Spearhead Entertainment, the makers of God of War/ Match-3 mashup Fall of Atlantis, have a new iPhone game due out in the next few days. It's called Phoenix Spirit, and many gamers will be pleased to learn that it's in the style of the sprawling "Metroidvania" adventure games.
The Appera: You’ve seen old classics being ported and made for the iPhone. Some have been successful, while others should not have been released.
Spearhead Entertainment has created a game which gives you a feel for those old school days. Phoenix Spirit, where you play as an adventurous squirrel, brings back those nostalgic feelings of the ROM days. But can this heroic squirrel capture the hearths of all you gamers.
Touch My Apps: Sometimes it’s nice to have a game that’s not all about “how fast can you get through it” or “how many things can you blow up”. A game that’s about exploration and discovery. A game that lets you go at your pace – one where you can actually stop to enjoy the scenery.
