Game Review: Gorilla Gondola

February 6, 2012 | By andrewbares

This game should be an Xbox Live title!

Overall Score: 5/5

If you want a fun, challenging, and fresh game, check out Gorilla Gondola!

Gameplay: 5/5

Despite the extremely simple controls, there is so much to this game! All you can do is jump and stomp with your character and slightly tilt him from side to side. Using that, you have to figure out how to navigate through obstacles, collect bananas, avoid bombs, and kill enemies. That means you have to think ahead and plan out your route quickly before you do anything! That makes the gameplay extremely exciting, since you probably have never played anything similar to this before. There is also an excellent variation of obstacles and enemies, and the game even has power-ups. Continue reading →

Game Review: NFS Hot Pursuit

February 3, 2012 | By andrewbares

NFS Hot Pursuit tries to bring the excellent console game to mobile phones…

Overall Score: 2/5

DON’T buy this if you actually like racing games. NFS Hot Pursuit for WP7 will likely bore you to death.

Gameplay: 1/5

In this game, you drive in a relatively straight line 95% of the time, and you never get to take hard corners or juke the cops by going left then right then left on some city side streets. There’s only ONE path in this game… forward. The formula to playing this game is to simply drive as fast as you can. If you’re the cop, you drive fast and hit the racer. If you’re the racer, you drive fast and randomly move away from the cop. However, the cop’s car will magically be faster than yours and somehow accelerate in front of you. There’s hardly any true talent or knowledge of driving a car involved in this game. You don’t even control the gas pedal of your own car. If you could drive down the streets of your choice in a city to avoid cops, this game would actually be decent. Continue reading →
