    The popular Backbreaker 2: Vengeance app has finally made its way to Android. The game had been exclusive to the Sony Xperia Play since the release of that phone at the end of May.

Check out the review from late last year of the iPhone version for more thoughts on Backbreaker 2: Vengeance which placed se...

    By Brian Sipple “Are you related to Jean-Claude Van Damme? Because Jean-Claude Van Damme you're sexy!” If you didn’t know any better you might fooled into thinking Icebreaker was a cheesy pickup line app, chock full of gems like this one guaranteed to keep your dwindling batting average above the Mendoza Line (That or Muay Thai kicked in the face if there is a relation). Even better it’s a spinoff of Natural Motion’s bestselling Backbreaker series for the...

    By Brian Sipple Nostalgia is a funny thing. Those who enjoyed playing Tecmo Bowl in the late 80s and early 90s are likely fond of its over-the-top arcade style of football. Those who belong to the Madden generation would take one look at the 2D side-scroller and wonder what crusty museum they had just wandered into. Tecmo Koei Games is no doubt banking on the former with the release of Tecmo Bowl Throwback on iOS. The game is attached with a hefty price tag of $7.99 and features three mo...

    Natural Motion is set to release their latest mobile game for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on June 2nd. Icebreaker will go for $2.99 and is similar in nature to the popular Backbreaker apps that have over five million sales to date. Just like Backbreaker's "Tackle Alley" Icebreaker involves evading waves of defenders only instead of scoring touchdowns the end result is to score goals. Spins and deeks are at the user's disposal and progressing through levels will result in new unlocked...

    By Brian Sipple Ask any soccer coach or player and they’ll tell you that even if you can kick like Messi or “bend it like Beckham” it won’t matter without a good first touch – that initial contact a player makes with the ball to bring it under his control. It’s fitting, then, that First Touch Soccer’s opening impression is one that immediately captivates the player, and goes on to provide the fullest soccer experience on the App Store. (more&h...
