Do you remember the golden age of video arcades? They were dark, smelly places where spotty teenage boys would crowd around the latest cabinets as loud music, bright neon and happy smiles filled the room. Alas it seems that the video arcade is a dying institution now as home consoles provide just as much power and gaming with your mates means playing someone online that could well be on the other side of the world! In those days games seemed somewhat purer, simpler, more honest, straightforward and immediate. They were also usually very hard. Read the rest of this entry »

A week ago I picked up Galcon from the App Store. I wasn’t expecting too much, but from the videos I’ve seen at Galcom.com it looked moderately entertaining. Little did I know that I was downloading the greatest iPhone game ever to call appstore its home. Read the rest of this entry »
The first football game to grace the iPhone is the latest in a long line of mobile only titles carrying the Real Football moniker and released as Real Soccer in the United States. Gameloft have already shown that as far as mobile gaming is concerned you can give the reigning champions FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer a good game, but as they grace the hallowed turf on the iPhone for the first time will they take an early lead in this new championship race?
