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). No matter though as a few ... Read More»

Dungeon Hunter 4 Review by Gaming on Batteries
Gameloft is catching quite a bit of flack over the in app purchases situation but honestly, it is not going anywhere anytime soon and it does allow pretty cool games like this to be accessible for more players that are either broke or are simply cheap. What gamers get with Dungeon Hunter 4 is a ... Read More»
New Overhead Scrolling Shooter, Plasma Sky, Blasts Onto Google Play and iTunes
Overhead scrolling shooters, once a proud genre with their close cousing- the side scrolling shooter, is almost an endangered species of gaming. Sure, we get the occasional retro release from Capcom (how many times can fans be expected to buy yet another copy of any of the 194x series?), but fans want new original action. ... Read More»

JXD S7300 7 Inch Android Tablet Hardware Review by Gaming on Batteries
When you say tablet gaming, most people will immediately think of the iPad by Apple or to a lesser extent, one of the myriad of Android tablets that most big box stores carry. JXD is probably not a name that anyone will shout out right off the bat, that needs to change because they really ... Read More»
Puzzle Spopkling Review by Gaming on Batteries
Puzzle games have been said to be a dime a dozen on mobile platforms, probably because they play right into the heart of what mobile gaming is believed to be- short, quick, bursts of gameplay lasting a few minutes at most (hard to get a fulfilling RPG moving in that amount of time). Puzzle Spopkling ... Read More»
Knights of Pen and Paper Review by Gaming on Batteries
Writing this review is tougher than expected, it was just so hard to put down Knights of Pen and Paper long enough to write something worth reading. That game is that good, that is coming from someone that is not a Role Playing Game (RPG) fanatic. Behold Studios have created quite a unique little title ... Read More»

Super Laser: The Alien Fighter Review by Gaming on Batteries
Remember playing Rayforce and discovering the damage inducing lock on weapon and how cool it was to have TWO weapons at once that operated separately? Super Laser by EpicForce Entertainment brings that secondary weapon style of offense to Android and it is just as cool here as it was in Taito’s retro title (Rayforce is ... Read More»
Beach Buggy Blitz Review by Gaming on Batteries
I reviewed Beach Buggy Blitz awhile back on the Zeepad tablet and while it was quite a bit of fun (it scored a 90), I have to say, it is just that much better on the JXD S601. Why? Physical controls of course. Yes, having physical buttons does make a TON of difference with Beach ... Read More»
Pitfall Preview by Gaming on Batteries
Growing up, playing the Atari 2600 was a thing of joy, other than it we had to go outside if we wanted to play any type of “game”. While I would wait for my father to get home from working at a sheet metal shop, I would pass the time after finishing homework by playing ... Read More»
