We all have a deep-seated desire to smash things – a love of destruction, if you will. Don't bother denying it. Well, there are plenty of things to destroy in Catapult King, a game that made quite an impact on iOS. This is a physics game that invites you to knock down all manner of structures with a magical catapult.

Bad Piggies Review: Rovio's Latest Game Brings Out The Engineer In All Of Us

Posted by in Reviews

How do you follow up an earth-shattering hit like Angry Birds? Not with Amazing Alex, Rovio's first property to branch out of their only previous IP. The game currently sits with only a tiny fraction of the downloads of Angry Birds, even on the free version. So with the third go-round, they've gone back to create a spinoff featuring the antagonists of the aggravated avians: Bad Piggies. The new game is a combination of the previous two, combining the simple physics-based goals of Angry Birds and the contraption building of Amazing Alex.

So, do the pigs deliver? Certainly. Rovio's strength is in simple premises that become more and more complex, and Bad Piggies exemplifies this ethos, while adding more complexity and variation than either of the previous titles.

[New Game] New Orbit Has Gravity Slingshot Gameplay And Anime Storytelling

Posted by in Games, News
Last Updated: August 23rd, 2012

Space-inspired physics games have been given a boost thanks to Angry Birds Space. If you're looking for something with a little more drama and a little less pig, then New Orbit might be right down your gravity well. The 99¢ game from rookie developer Blackish combines Asteroids-style navigation, gravity-driven physics and an ambitious if not overly promising story. On that note, the full title is "NEW ORBIT: Episode 1," so there's probably more on the table. Luckily there are no menacing phantoms in sight.

The story is that a handful of spacefaring factions are fighting over resources after the demise of Earth, Douglass Adams-style.

Once you've set aside your silly ethical hang-ups about attacking helpless, faceless enemies, you might think that the game is similar to Angry Birds. It's actually a lot closer to BASIC classic, Gorillas.
