Steve Jackson's Sorcery! gamebook coming to the App Store

by Mike Schramm (Apr 15th, 2013)

Steve Jackson's Sorcery! is an old series back from the early 1980s where you "played" through a sort of Choose Your Own Adventure-style story, except that instead of just flipping pages, you actually cast spells, fight in combat and do other fantasy-based activities. These books were reprinted ...

Daily iPhone App: Rune Raiders charges into turn-based combat

by Mike Schramm (Oct 17th, 2012)

Rune Raiders isn't a new app -- it came out a little while ago and has been updated a few times (and you can actually play a version of it online in Flash). But I was looking through the App Store for a few good turn-based games recently, and Rune Raiders has been stealing more and more of my ...

Daily iPhone App: Brawl

by Mike Schramm (Dec 20th, 2011)

Ben Brode is a game designer at Blizzard Entertainment who has created an iOS card game called Brawl (we're still waiting for iOS games from Blizzard, by the way). Brawl is actually based on a real card game, and unlike most turn-based card games, this one's played in real time (similar to ...

TUAW's Daily App: Third Blade

by Mike Schramm (Apr 27th, 2011)

Com2Us is a Korean publisher that's produced some quality iPhone titles, and its latest release, Third Blade, keeps that trend going. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of original iPhone gameplay here (it's a traditional beat-em-up, though there are some nice RPG elements as you go), but while ...

TUAW's Daily App: Stenches

by Mike Schramm (Nov 11th, 2010)

We talked to Thunder Game Works way back at this year's WWDC, and they mentioned that they were working on a zombie version of their popular Trenches war strategy game for the iPhone. And it's now out on the App Store. Stenches is much like Trenches in that you guide a group of World War I soldiers ...

Tekken bound for the iPhone

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Mar 9th, 2010)

Namco is bringing the popular Tekken franchise to the iPhone. It's not confirmed whether it's a port of the original game -- released back in 1994 in arcades, then on the PlayStation -- or the current Tekken 6. This comes a few weeks after Capcom announced the release of Street Fighter IV for the ...

Street Fighter IV coming to iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Feb 16th, 2010)

I've wondered before just how a fighting game on the iPhone would work, and now I'm going to find out: Capcom has announced that they're releasing the latest Street Fighter game (they're up to IV now) on the iPhone. You can see how it works over at IGN -- there's a virtual joystiq on one side, and ...

Namco's iPhone division considering... Tekken?

by Mike Schramm (Aug 5th, 2009)

Actually, I'd play that. Namco recently announced that they were forming an Apple Games division to head up game development for Apple platforms like the iPhone, and in this interview, a producer for them who used to work for Apple says that they're excited to work on bringing great games to the ...

A look at three new Gameloft iPhone games

by Cory Bohon (May 18th, 2009)

I have been in love with Gameloft games on the iPhone since I bought my first one last year. Not only do their games have great graphics, they also have great controls and game play. Gameloft has recently released several new iPhone/iPod touch games, and I'm going to give you a first look at three ...
