Meridian DE gives us a serious run for our dollar bill as we rescue people trapped and dose out flames! Against the Fire! is based on an interesting story with cute graphics and simple controls. Whether you are an advanced or amateur gamer, you WILL enjoy this addictive game! My Take This game rocks!  My admin @superbad24 wasn’t kidding, this one is a great game.  What I can’t believe is the price tag being only 99 cents!  It is a casual game, and it’s pretty much one dimension.  It’s just so good, I feel like I just bought a game for my SNES. What strikes me the most is the first 4 floors are fairly easy, then the 5th, 6th level start to get super hard.   It’s enough to get you hooked into the game enough the keep you playing this for a long time. Presentation The graphics are clean, nothing Read More

All right. We’ve seen dozens of duel-stick shooter games on the App Store in the past few months and you’ve probably played one or two by now. Because most games of this nature seem upsettingly similar, it’s hard to create an original title that players will spend their hard earned cash on. Against the Fire! breaks away from the mindless shooting of zombies or spacecrafts and has you defending helpless citizens trapped in a building from rather lively masses of fire. This will be accomplished with a Super Mario Sunshine-type backpack hose that is aimed with the right control stick. The main objective is to fend off wads of fire and escort the trapped victims to the designated safe-zone. In the upper left of the screen, your oxygen level is displayed and once it hits zero, you fail. If your HP drains to the bottom of the meter from being attacked Read More

Here are a number recent game releases that we had previewed in the past. All seem to be solid titles, though none we felt compelling enough to highlight on their own. Skee-Ball ($0.99) - The officially licensed version of Skee-Ball from Freeverse and Graveck. This game will feel familiar to owners of 10 Balls 7 Cups as it was created by the same developers, but with some notable improvements. There are some additional control options as well as the use of the accelerometer to add spin to the ball. The biggest upgrade, however, seems to be the integration of actual pictures of prizes that you can keep and integration with Plus+ for achievements and leaderboards. As good a version of pure Skee-ball as can be found on the iPhone, but it's still just endless Skee-ball. Against the Fire ($0.99) - Meridian's followup title to the well received dual-stick zombie shooter Alive Read More
