Plasma Sky Review by Gaming on Batteries
Overhead shooters have been reported as a dying breed around here for quite awhile but truth is, they are seeing a slight resurgence in the gaming world. Innovation is returning to the genre, no longer are developers simply relying on nostalgia to garner a purchase and download when they release a retro styled shooter. Spikepit ... Read More»

Pac-Man + Tournaments Review by Gaming on Batteries
Pac-Man, a gaming staple since nearly the beginning and a title that is a timeless title. From the music to the graphics, that impression on the subconscious is permanent once you play a few mazes, even if it has been years. Right now, you are probably imagining the sound effects and hearing that “whomp whomp” ... 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»

The Simpsons – Tapped Out Review by Gaming on Batteries
The Simpsons Tapped Out is just like the other time management games that require the player to “build” something and wait for actions to finish, slowly building up to bigger and bigger things in the game. Of course, as with those other games, there is the opportunity to “speed” things up by paying real money ... Read More»

Rock Your S7300 Tablet #1: Beach Buggy Blitz
Beach Buggy Blitz and me go way back, well, not THAT far back but far enough to know it is a great title to use as a benchmark for graphics and control across various Android devices. That is why I have chosen it for the first post in our new series: Rock Your S7300 Tablet. ... 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»

Reading Digital: Avenging Spider-Man #1 by Gaming on Batteries
There are three kinds of comic book fans in the world, Marvel fans, DC Comics fans and Indie fans. Growing up in the 80′s, I was squarely in the Marvel camp following the adventures of the X-Men (Rogue rocks) and the Avengers (Captain America, while sometimes corny was still able to manage a cool aura) ...

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»

Raiden Legacy Review by Gaming on Batteries
Back in the day, we took games like Raiden for granted, the genre was overpopulated so to speak, there were tons of scrolling shooters available on all platforms. Even with all of that competition, the quality of Raiden was able to stand out and spawned quite the following with fans. Now, years later, Raiden has ... Read More»
