Electronic Arts has released yet another copy of Tetris, this time for the iPhone, and it's actually pretty good. In addition to all of the other big releases on the App Store last night, Tetris showed up and replaced EA's older version of the game. While it might seem strange to redo a game ...

Daily iPhone App: Spy Mouse

by Mike Schramm (Aug 25th, 2011)

Firemint Games' latest title is finally out for iOS, and the early reviews are great. I played a prototype of this game over a year ago, and it's been through a few big revisions since then. But the same gameplay I saw in the very beginning is still there and as polished as it's going to get. ...

TUAW's Daily App: Mirror's Edge

by Mike Schramm (Sep 3rd, 2010)

But this one's worth it -- Mirror's Edge is a pretty terrific, completely original translation of the plaforming game that ...

Riskternatives: Conquist and Strategery

by Erica Sadun (Jul 26th, 2010)

I looked at two world conquest-style games that follow from the original Risk board game: Strategy and Conquist. Admittedly, I'm not a big Risk fan. I much prefer games that involve more building and planning and less random dice rolling. With that confession on the table, I did find that both ...

by Mike Schramm (Aug 20th, 2007)

As many of you pointed out over the weekend (thanks, everybody!), EA must be big fans of TUAW-- we called them out on Thursday for not catering to the Mac as they'd promised, and on Friday they dropped a press release that the exact four games we'd called MIA were now available in the Apple Store ...
