Pinball Rocks HD Review by Gaming on Batteries
Pinball is a genre that has been hit or miss on mobile devices, especially touch only ones, since the experience is quite visceral and physical- bumping the table, the music and the lights just to name a few niceties.

Combo Crew Review by Gaming on Batteries
The Game Bakers have taken many annoying pieces from other fighting games and put them well within reach, and ease of use, of the player.

Superman Man of Steel on iOS and Android Screens
Superman is not a name that is synonymous with quality games – quick, name one.

Globulous Review by Gaming on Batteries
Tetris, the game that probably is the biggest reason, at least entertainment wise, for the Soviet Union to be kept running as long as it was able to (Alexey Pajitnov, creator of Tetris, was not the recipient of the royalties earned from the phenomenal sales- the Soviet government was).
