Gameloft Details Upcoming Gangstar, Dungeon Hunter, Modern Combat Sequels is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Gameloft has released a spate of new trailers and screenshots for upcoming sequels to its hit App Store titles Modern Combat: Sandstorm, Dungeon Hunter, and Gangstar: West Coast Hustle.

Gangstar: Miami Vindication, pictured above, takes Gameloft’s Grand Theft Auto-cloning franchise to the streets, beaches, and swamps of Miami. The game is set to launch in the App Store next week, offering players an open-world adventure featuring improved AI, more vehicles, and over 70 missions.

Dungeon Hunter II sets its sights on fans of Blizzard’s Diablo series, boasting similar loot-based dungeon-crawling gameplay. The sequel will include both Game Center and Gameloft Live support for multiplayer dungeon raids upon its release this summer.

Finally, Gameloft’s popular Call of Duty: Modern Warfare-like Modern Combat: Sandstorm is set to see a sequel in Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus. Few details have been revealed so far, but players can likely expect an updated graphics engine and refined controls when Black Pegasus launches later this year.

Arkinvade – iPhone App Review

Arkinvade icon Arkinvade iPhone App Review

Arkinvade ($0.99)

Version – 1.02

Review – “Creative twist on Brick-breakers”


When I got my first iPhone, one of the first games that I lookedArkinvade 1 200x300 Arkinvade iPhone App Review for was a “block-breaker” game. Since that time I have seen a lot of these games. While most of them are fun, after a while they all feel kind of the same. While at first I wasn’t sure if I liked it, Arkinvade definitely has a different feel to it. From the way the ball reflects off the paddle down to the large Arkinvade 2 200x300 Arkinvade iPhone App Reviewvariety of power-ups and creatures attacking, the game manages to stay interesting.


The first time you start up Arkinvade you’ll want to link it to your OpenFeint profile if you have one. This will allow you to compare your scores with friends and people all around the world. There are also several achievements that you can work to get and show off as well.


The main menu was a little bit confusing at first, there is a play button in the center of the screen with the OpenFeint logo just below it. At the top of the screen is where it gets a little confusing. There are 6 little buttons that were a little bit hard to see at first. There’s not much description on them, but touching them will bring up various menu Arkinvade 3 200x300 Arkinvade iPhone App Reviewoptions that cover everything from the control scheme, to the sound effects and and options to restore a game that you have previously quit out of.


Once you’re ready to get started just touch the play button and you’ll be taken to the main game screen. The default control scheme is to use the accelerometer to move your paddle, and all 3 controls schemes have little buttons in the lower right and left corners to make the ball start moving. The other two control schemes either give you 2 directional buttons or allow you to control your paddle by touching and dragging it.


The object of the game is, as expected, to destroy all of the blocks on the screen. As you play the game you’ll find that some blocks are destroyed in one hit, while others may take several. Throughout the game you’ll also find large green blocks that release bad guys when they are destroyed. The bad guys fire bullets that freeze your paddle for a short time and come after you just like the bad guys in Space Invaders.


One thing that I noticed as I was playing this game is that the physics seemed a little different than you would expect in most of these games. If the ball is already moving from left to right pretty fast and you Arkinvade 4 200x300 Arkinvade iPhone App Reviewbump it with the left side of your paddle, the momentum that the ball has effects it a lot more than in most games that I’ve played. This makes the game interesting and adds a little more challenge to it as well.


The best thing about this game though is the variety that has been added to the gameplay. There are tons of different power-ups that do all kinds of things from making your paddle bigger, giving you more than one ball to destroy blocks with, set your ball on fire and make it literally cut right through all of the blocks, and even give your paddle firepower temporarily. Beware though because not all of the icons you see will help you. There are a few that will make things more difficult and/or even kill your current life.


Overall, I think that this game has the potential to be a real top-seller if just a few small issues are addressed in future updates. The first is that the game really needs a screen that showsArkinvade 5 200x300 Arkinvade iPhone App Review you all of the icons that you can collect and tells you what they do. It’s a little bit frustrating to grab an icon that you’ve never seen before and have it kill you.


The second thing is that the game needs better support for continuing your game. It took me a while to even figure out that it was possible. This could be easily remedied by either asking the user if they want to continue their previously exited game, or by adding quick-launch multitasking that brings up the app where you left off. Although just changing the menu a little bit and making it more obvious what options you do have would work just fine as well.


With that said, the game is a lot of fun once you get everything figured out, and it is currently available in the iTunes App Store for just $0.99. If you’re a fan of brick-breaking games, this is one of the most engaging games I’ve played of that type. If you’re still reading this I’d encourage you to click the link below and check it out in the App Store today!

More from Sega: Kingdom Conquest, Altered Beast, Gunstar Heroes

More from Sega: Kingdom Conquest, Altered Beast, Gunstar Heroes is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

In addition to detailing its upcoming iPhone and iPad port of Chu Chu Rocket yesterday, Sega also revealed its upcoming iOS-exclusive MMORPG Kingdom Conquest, along with emulated versions of the Sega Genesis classics Altered Beast and Gunstar Heroes.

Kingdom Conquest is an ambitious title that aims to combine elements from the real-time strategy and role-playing genres, with gameplay that features a mix of brawling, dungeon exploration, and card battling.

Players can cooperatively explore dungeons and share loot with up to four friends over a Wi-Fi, Edge, or 3G connection.

Kingdom Conquest boasts the following feature set:

  • Compete or form alliances with other players from around the world.
  • Earn new Items and powerful weapons by defeating beasts in the dungeon-crawling Action Mode, and use these spoils to defeat other players in the strategy-focused Simulation Mode.
  • Unlock more than 100 types of collectible monsters like Crimson Gargoyles, Ice Golems, and Dark Steam Knights.
  • Synthesize new monsters with skills that can turn the tide in a crucial battle.
  • Trade weapons and monsters with other players via the integrated auction house.
  • Communicate with alliance members by using the in-game forums.
  • Improve chances of success by purchasing resource stones via Apple’s micro-payment system.

Originally packaged with the Sega Genesis console upon its U.S. launch in 1989, Altered Beast was an impressively faithful port of what was, at best, a serviceable arcade beat-’em-up. The App Store edition aims to bring all the beast-transforming, goat-kicking action of the original game to the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad later this year.

Gunstar Heroes, on the other hand, is a genuine classic, and ranks among the best games to be released during the 16-bit era. Developed by Ikaruga and Sin & Punishment creator Treasure, Gunstar Heroes is a side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter featuring numerous weapon combinations and some of gaming’s most memorable boss battles.

Both Altered Beast and Gunstar Heroes will support cooperative two-player gameplay over a Bluetooth connection when they launch in the App Store this Fall.

Cave Announces Mushihimesama Bug Panic for Fall Release is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Hot on the heels of the release of its well-received shooter Dodonpachi Resurrection, Cave revealed that its action-puzzler Mushihimesama Bug Panic is on its way to the iPhone and iPod Touch this Fall.

It’s been a long while since Cave made any mention of the project. Bug Panic was announced as the company’s first App Store effort back in January, and no updates regarding its development have been issued since then.

Bug Panic is a unique combo-based action game starring Reco from Cave’s Mushihimesama arcade shooter series. Players must chain together strings of exploding bugs using a limited number of regenerating bombs, avoiding contact with hazards while collecting score-boosting gems.

As with all of Cave’s App Store releases, Mushihimesama: Bug Panic will only be compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, and third- and fourth-generation iPod Touch devices when it launches in the App Store in the next few weeks. A gameplay trailer is below.
