'Extinction Squad' Review - More Fun Than You Can Shake a Shark At

'The Sandbox' Review - Paint With Physics
Usually when we call a game a sandbox, we're referring to some kind of open world game where you can wander, free of restraints, and do anything you can think of.

Freebie Alert: Chillingo's Physics Puzzler 'Feed Me Oil'
Chillingo's Feed Me Oil [Free / Free (HD)] hit the App Store around a year ago, and our review shows, we had a great time with it. In essence, the game is a physics puzzler only this time around, the physics gimmick you're forced to harness hinges on fluid dynamics. Every level features two things: A spigot where oil shoots from, and an area (usually designed as a mouth of a strange creature) wh...
