Some of our readers have been waiting for a game just like Moto X Mayhem [$1.99] from Occamy Games. The game is a faster-paced version of various physics bike games that have already appeared in the app store and resembles many of the popular Flash dirt bike games. In fact, this version seems near identical to TeaGames' TG Mot ... Read more »

We gave some quick impressions of Touch KO immediately after its release, but have since been able to spend some time to play through the game. As we mentioned before, the game offers an impressive looking boxing game for your iPhone.

Touch KO's multi-touch controls are surprisingly comfortable and an in-game tutorial walks you through the moves. Tapping either the left or right side of the screen punches with that arm, and different gestures like swiping towards the center lets loose a hook, while swiping upwards throws an uppercut. Holding your thumb on either side of the screen blocks with that arm, and tilting the iPhone makes you dodge. The controls are rather easy to pick up an ... Read more »

Backflip Studios' Paper Toss [App Store] has even surprised the developers with its own popularity. Since the game's release, it has been hovering around the top-end of the top 100 downloaded free games with over 6 million total downloads.

Offering a fun and extremely simple gameplay element that anyone who has ever worked in an office knows all too well, Paper Toss has you literally tossing paper in to a garbage can. It's not that easy though, in this virtual office your coworkers are constantly changing the location and speed of a small fan, so you have wind ... Read more »

Konami, better known for its Metal Gear and Silient Hill series, has just released Power Pros Touch [link] through the App Store, an adaptation of its popular Wii and PS2 baseball title MLB Power Pros, for the iPhone and iPod touch.

MLB Power Pros is a cartoonish take on the sport featuring cute, bobble-headed players in keeping with the style of the heretofore Japanese-only Power Pro series, which made its debut in 1994.

The game is very well reviewed, with Gamespot concluding,

Simply put, get the game for whichever system you play the most. It's a fantastic cho ... Read more »

You can almost hear the groans coming when you start talking about a "casual" sports game. Somewhere along the way, the term "casual" has become a euphemism for "crappy mini". But Com2US's Baseball Slugger [App Store] is a notable exception and is a really fun game for both sports and non-sports fans alike.

The game is structured as a home run derby. You must hit as many home runs as possible before a designated number of outs is achieved. Simple goal, but Baseball Slugger shines in 3 differe ... Read more »

Last month we took a look at Naquatic's Touch Ski 3D, an iPhone touch-screen skiing game that we found to be a very well done, simple title with an interesting control mechanic.  At both its initial $0.99 and $2.99 regular price, it represented a solid value and was a great ticket for on-the-go fun on the slopes.

The California-based, two-brother team has just released a huge update to the already great title: Touch Ski 3D v2.0 [App Store].  And, while the first release was really two ga ... Read more »

As mentioned in our previous post, Tiger Woods PGA Tour is a golf game of the realistic, simulation sort as opposed to the more casual golf titles, such as one can readily find on the Nintendo Wii platform.  If realism, as opposed to bouncy music, rainbow colors, and enlarged heads is your thing, then you're in EA's target audience on this one.  (And that's not to say that the more festive variety of golf titles are to be discounted — we love Gameloft's Let's Golf, for instance.)
