Like always, if you have a game you want reviewed, please let us know!
Pizza Boy
Pizza Boy
If you miss ridiculously silly and outrageously fun side-scrolling NES platform jumpers such as Kirby or Rescue Rangers, you’ll love Pizza Boy.
A thief has stolen the pizza present! Oh no! You are forced to chase it through levels filled with threats and dangers but to your advantage you can throw bottles of soda. Watch out for evil birds and furious dogs while you collect pizza slices and strawberries in a yummy mix.
The old school graphics are pixel perfect and really set the stage for nostalgic gaming.
Virtual City
Virtual City
While we’re on the subject of retro gaming, remember the old SimCity games? Nearly two decades after the debut of that classic, the same basic idea is still the foundation for countless other games.
In Virtual City you build the city of your dreams – a residential paradise or an industrial center. Build dwelling houses and industrial buildings. Produce goods and deliver them to the shopping malls. Setup mass-transit system to take your citizens to places like parks, cinemas and stadiums.
Perfect for the relaxed but dedicated gamer who needs a new hobby.

Rimelands: Hammer of Thor
Rimelands: Hammer of Thor
Enter the frostbitten realm of Rimelands, where mankind with fantastic technology powered by an enigmatic substance called Steam is forever at odds with the magical creatures of legend called the Fair Folk.
Rimelands is an RPG like Hybrid but is a completely different experience. This game utilizes more modern 3D graphics and contains plenty of puzzles to keep you thinking. The gameplay is refreshingly unique and perfectly designed for the touch screen interface.

Assault Commando
Assault Commando
A 3D shooter game, set in the south American jungle. You have to help Jack Gunfire, a cynic war hero to stop Albrecht Braun from taking over the world.
Assault Commando is a realistic war game with great graphics, mountable vehicles, tons of weapons and Open Feint integration. It’s not perfect but for $0.99 it’s definitely a great buy. Give it a shot if you’re feeling particularly violent.
Price: $0.99
