Ten Pin Championship Bowling is a solid if pretty much uninspired implementation of bowling for the iPhone. The game looks decent, and the controls are pretty easy to navigate. Lack of a computer opponent and the annoying need to go back to the main menu between each game you play gets a bit frustrating after a while.
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]I was never real big on playing horseshoes when I was a kid, probably because I wasn’t very good at it. Something about chucking a metal quasi-ring at a barely protruding metal pole that sat yards away that just didn’t click with me. As it turns out, I’m not very [...]
Rating 4.00 out of 5 [?]I’m glad that Skyworks is continuing to work on non-sports related games, because they are actually turning out some interesting “pick up and play” type games. This time around we have Skyscrapers, where the goal of the game is to build – you guessed it – skyscrapers. It uses a [...]
Feel like trying to outrun the fuzz and gather up some bags of loot? That’s just what you’ll get to do in Crime Spree for the iPhone. As Skyworks continues to expand beyond it’s sports games beginnings, it’s nice to see that they get the concept of casual games with other motifs.
Rating 3.00 out of 5 [?]Here we are again, with yet another Skyworks casual sports game. This time around it’s Air Hockey, and as with most of their sports titles it’s pretty well constructed. I’m just not sure that it has enough to offer that other Air Hockey games don’t. There is a head to [...]
After several sports mini-games, I wondered what else Skyworks was capable of. I found out in the form of Mental Blocks, a modern variant of a tried and true “remove the blocks from the screen” puzzle game. After playing Mental Blocks I’m looking forward to more non-sports Skyworks offerings.
Skyworks is at it again, this time invading the world of ping pong. As luck would have it, they did a pretty good job. Four game modes, including one you can play without an opponent, make this a slick offering that has something for just about everyone interested in electronic ping pong. And, for those who are always a little hesitant, there’s a free version for you to try before taking the plunge.
Sports mini-games have been a bit of a mixed bag for me so far on the iPhone, but with Batter Up Baseball, it looks like Skyworks has finally hit one out of the park. Great visuals, authentic sound and gameplay that keeps going and going could bring you to start singing “take me out to the ball game”.
Sports mini-games are interesting, because it seems their goal is to take the best parts of a particular activity and strip out all the other stuff so that you can have a quick, satisfying game. Unfortunately, after playing Field Goal Frenzy I’m not so sure that this philosophy works for the game of Football. Read on to see if this game is worth playing or if you should punt…
In the mood for shooting some hoops but don’t feel like a full fledged game? Skyworks Interactive has the answer for you with 3 Point Hoops, the game of making 3 point shots from various locations around the court. Read on to find out if this is a slam dunk or just another brick in the iPhone gaming stable…
