    TileStorm is an extremely addictive puzzle adventure game. With over one hundred unique levels and puzzles, TileStorm is guaranteed to keep you and your friends busy for quite some time and represents excellent value for money. TileStorm has beautifully detailed graphics and excellent interactive properties which mean that playing TileStorm is not only fun and rewarding, but it is also a pleasure to look at and play.

    The idea of TileStorm is to solve a series of puzzles enabling 'Eggbot' the robot to make his way through each respective level to the exit. The first puzzles are very similar in appearance and strategy to traditional sliding puzzle games, but later in TileStorm players will encounter tiles with completely different properties, maps with multiple solutions, and levels requiring the re-use of certain tiles. As people play through TileStorm they will find that TileStorm is much more than just a sliding tile game and strategies required in many other games will be needed to complete this game. TileStorm is guaranteed to present a challenge to anyone that plays it and it will require real skill and mental dexterity to complete. TileStorm is set in four beautifully presented themes starting with Industrial then followed by Egypt, Medieval and Jungle. Every themed area has a range of levels of difficulty of puzzles, but you will need to complete all the puzzles in each area before you can progress to the next area. We are confident that you will find TileStorm an extremely enjoyable challenge and a 'must have' game.

    TileStorm has a number of NOTEWORTHY FEATURES:

    · 100 challenging maps of generally increasing difficulty.
    · 4 beautiful themes including Industrial, Egypt, Medieval and Jungle
    · 5 great tunes - classic game tracks for each theme and the menus
    · Intuitive and responsive controls
    · Fast fully 3D graphics engine
    · Individual level times stored.. go back any time and try to beat your fastest time
    · Factory reset option available
    · Fully functional audio mute; listen to your own music whilst playing TileStorm

    TileStorm has full support for players that are stuck. Visit the website http://www.massivehadron.com or join the facebook page: search for 'Massive Hadron' in facebook or simply email Massive Hadron support: [email protected]

    While I havn't played most of these (might go for ToonWarz though if people are still playing online), I have to say that BloodNGuns is just awesome. A real hidden gem. Aztec Quest isn't hugely known, but it's really awesome, so I'll have to put that one in there. Too bad Fighting Fantasy just came out, I want to put a vote in there for that one but it came out in January.

    "Prepare yourself for the most addictive musical gaming app experience ever: rhythmic vocal harmonizing has never been so easy or more fun!!”

    * Featured by Apple within 7 days of launching.

    * Top 3 Music Game UK, Austria, Germany & New Zealand

    * Top 5 Music Game Australia & Japan

    * Finalist for Best Music Game in 2009 Best Ever App Awards

    * "New and Noteworthy" - Apple

    * "Highly Addictive" - MacCreate

    In Doo Wop players are invited to jam, create and record their own pieces of music using the fun, intuitive interface of tapping characters; where every one of them has their own cool sounds and individual dance moves!

    The premise of the game is simple: The player is able to tap the various characters creating different sounds. Once you are happy with a few of the characters’ sounds you can then toggle on/off the grooving backing track (comprising of a music accompaniment and a rhythm part) and jam along! Or if you are feeling brave... record your pattern of characters and save them out to play back to your friends!

    Players are invited to join 4 separate choirs of characters, each with their own unique sounds, backing tracks, tempo and settings!

    As well as creating music, there’s also a 'follow-me' mini-game where the player has to copy the pattern of singing characters... A game which becomes progressively trickier as the sequence of sounds continues to get longer and longer!

    Get Creative!!

    Features-

    - Simple but addictive game play

    - Very cool music comprising of 4 music tracks and a mega collection of characters with unique sounds

    - Record your our tracks

    - 10 Save game slots

    - Follow me mini-game

    Pirate Climber appears to be free at the moment... it was free originally, then 99c for one day... then back to free.

    Edit: Aha, in-app purchase.

    Thanks for those Touchgamer3g, checking out Into The Blue and Big Top Cannon right now :)

    Doing nothing of importance.

    Oh crap, I forgot one of my favorites!

    All Fridges Are Psychotic is awesome, Flag Hippo did an awesome job with it. It definetly deserves more attention than it has gotten, despite a few drawbacks. Check it out.

    And for the dude who's going for one game from the list a month, go for BloodNGuns. You'd be doing yourself a disservice by not getting that game. It's like Endless Zombie Rampage, only alot better and on your iPod/iPhone.

    I think Ingenious should be added to the list of December gems. It has quickly become one of my favorite strategy/board games. I played this game more over Christmas break than any other. It would be even better if you could play 2-player games over wifi.

    Can somebody PLEASE explain, why this "one f jef"-dude is giving every game a 1-star-rating?

    If this is on purpose, it's just frickin' antisocial behaviour.

    Do you honestly think he actually played all games and considers them worth 1 star?
    I see some social problems here.

    That's not my main concern.
    It casts a poor light on the TA forums.
    I really don't want to know what some developers might think about us "tolerating" things like this.
    Sure, that's just one guy. But more of these jesters and we might have a problem.
    Other potential customers, only taking a quick glance at the ratings might be repelled. Every rating has an impact on the overall score.

    I only rated the games I tried yet, and I rated them honestly.

    Hi,

    He should be reported to a moderator (if you know one).
    I am both a developer and user, and this kind of behaviour is not good, regardless of one's status. As said ... it's simply antisocial.

    "solid shooter" - ifanzine review


    Machine V.S. Machine Gun

    Main Story

    In 2073 alien robots declared war on the human race. To prevent humans from developing a stronger defense, the robots started attacking our weapon development centers. Out of the 3 weapon development centers, one in particular was most vital. Base S2-95. The robots attacked and captured Base S2-95, mercilessly killing everyone inside. Fortunately, the main research lab was not harmed by any robots. Moments after their arrival, Sgt. Jackson and his squad was devastated and killed by the robots. Sgt. Jackson survived alone and now, he alone must defend the surviving research lab.

    The Game

    Play as Sgt. Jackson as he defends 8 areas that are most vital for the survival of this research lab. Can you hold off the invasion before the robots take over? One man survives the terrible onslaught of the robots; can he survive till the end? It's up to YOU to find out.


    Game Highlights

    - Play in 8 different levels in the game, and with each new level, there holds new surprises.

    - Fast paced action with a sheild that you can deploy to defend yourself from damage from the enemy.

    - Uprade your machine gun up to three times for a stronger defense against the enemy

    - Full 3D action experience..

    - A wide range of different robots in the game.

    - Easy to use touch controls.

    Hints and tips

    - The boss at the end of each level is very tough to defeat. It’s better to use the laser to defeat the boss.

    - The shield must be timed correctly. It takes a split second for the shield to come up. So, use your shield before the enemy fire hits you.

    - Robots with a green ring give you money, robots with a red ring give you health.
    Make sure you destroy these efficiently.

    Arn said earlier today that they can suspend individual users ability to vote on games so if you report it to a mod/admin he'll probably get taken care of.
