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»

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.

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»

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»
