Review: Connect 4 (Xbox Live)

icon

Released over the weekend, Electronic Arts' version of Connect 4 is another Nokia exclusive title. This is either a title that can help convince people to switch towards Nokia's Windows Phone, or another missed opportunity. Would you be surprised if I said it was the latter?

Review: Podcatcher for Windows Phone

icon

Windows Phone connoisseurs will tell anyone that support for podcasts, outside of the US at least, is not the best experience. This is thanks to an inability to add new podcasts without using desktop software and to download content on the fly. Developers have a tough job ahead of them with the limitations of the Windows Phone platform, mainly the limited ability to run in the background. The latest developer to tackle this issue is Johan Paul (@kypeli), who has ported his Podcatcher application, which was originally written for the MeeGo powered Nokia N9.

Review: Autoslalom

icon

There are games that hark back to history, there are games that have a retro flavour to them, and then there's Autoslalom. If 'you young ones' want to know what mobile gaming was all about back in the day, then check out this apparent labour of love from Wojciech Poniatowski.

Review: Babel Rising 3D (Xbox Live)

icon

Ubisoft's Babel Rising 3D has already picked up some rocky reviews through its Xbox Console version, will the jump to Windows Phone take the opportunity to improve the God-game where you need to stop the terrible tower of Babel reaching into the sky? The short answer is no.

Review: Pet Fishy

icon

'Virtual pets' is an interesting topic and one that many have tried to tackle on a smartphone, with varying levels of success. The initial love of the Tamagotchi never made a successful jump to smartphones, but that's never stopped developers trying. Now it's the turn of Selvarine to bring Pet Fishy to Windows Phone. Will this artificial aquarium keep you coming to the aquatic life?

Review: Putt In - Golf

icon

There are two schools of thought about 'crazy golf'. One is that it's utterly trivial and not even worthy of the 'golf' bit in the name. The other is that it's a bit of harmless fun for families on a day out and that the first school of thought is being pretentious and elitist. I'm in the latter camp, which is good because I'm perfectly positioned to appreciate what is one of the very best game titles on Windows Phone.

Review: Extraction (Xbox Live)

icon

Chilingo are known for puzzle games with a bit of physics thrown in. After taking some time to enjoy Extraction on Xbox Live, I'll be thinking about them for action games as well. The one man vs. an entire army genre is on show here, along with some great graphics and a control system that's very well suited to a small screened mobile device.

Review: ARMED!

icon

Strategy games are a favourite of many gamers, and with 3D graphics things go to a whole other level. With ARMED!, Windows Phone gamers can now get their fix too. With this game, the action can get intense even though gameplay is turn based, rather than real time strategy. ARMED! is a total mecha fest too, so if you used to play BattleTech or MechWarrior, this is definitely a game that you should check out.

Review: MetroReads

icon

Book reading is something that never goes away, it just moves with the medium of the time. As such, Windows Phone has Kindle and Freda for everyone to enjoy e-books on the move, plus Lumia now has Nokia Reading too. GoodReads is a social network that allows you to keep track of all the books you've read, and want to read, as well as seeing what your friends are reading and is a channel for you to share your thoughts on the books you've read too. Here we review MetroReads, which is a free Windows Phone app for GoodReads.
