It has also been awarded a gleaming Bronze Medal!

Absolute Twin Blades has been reviewed by pocketgamer.co.uk and has done wonderfully well, with a score of 7.
It has also earned a shiny Bronze Medal!

According to the review: "While to all intents and purposes this is Breakout, it's a title that complements the Atari classic rather than simply copying it. The spherical twist isn't as revolutionary as it might first appear, but it's distinct enough to ensure that Absolute Twin Blades can hold its own, bringing its own unique digression to a well trodden path."

Mystery Castle on the Google Android Market has been reviewed by pocketgamer.co.uk and has done extremely well, scoring a 7.
It has also been awarded a sparkly Bronze Medal!

According to the review: "This is classic video gaming. It showcases a simple concept, appealing (if somewhat basic) visuals and a stern challenge. Fans of fast-paced action epics are likely to find it a drag but those of you after a more cerebral adventure are advised to dip in now - especially while the low introductory price (it's currently available for a mere 88 English pence) holds."

Absolute Twin Blades has been reviewed by mobilegamefaqs and been awarded the Silver Star Award and a score of 74%!
The reviewer said: "with the bold colours and retro music, the game was certainly appealing. As was the addictiveness. Whenever I got a chance this Easter weekend, I had a quick go. And lo and behold, the day of the review is the day I finish all the levels and help repel the alien invasion. Now see if you can do it. It's not that hard, but it certainly is a lot of fun. And there's even an ending."

We are under attack!! Alien wormholes have started appearing all over the galaxy and are spewing unidentified alien matter everywhere!

Captain, you are our only hope! Use the power of the spinning Absolute Twin Blades to battle the alien threat and their devious boss machines!

[The Sequel to the 80's Arcade Classic Paperboy]

Extra! Extra! Read all about it: Paperboy is back!

Continuing his valiant efforts to save this land from TV journalism, Paperboy has returned, bringing with him a large stack of newspapers that need to be delivered to awaiting mailboxes or thrown at naughty pests and pesky evildoers loitering on street corners.

Paperboy will have to survive 5 harrowing days across 3 different neighbourhoods (Pleasant Ville, Midtown and Trackside), while cycling on his bike and delivering newspapers to his customers, while avoiding obstacles that will end his trip prematurely (and painfully).

The witching hour has come and gone. But the guys at airgamer have compiled a list of games with spooky and scary monsters that go bump in the night.
MonsterBlast and Mystery Castle have made the list's top 25 which can be seen here.

"Yeah but no, but yeah but no, but yeah..."

Monster Blast has been reviewed by mobilegamefaqs and has earned a great score of 85%. It has also achieved a prestigious Gold Award for our trophy cabinet! According to the review: "The graphics are lush, cartoony and ironically full of life. Colour, animation, even the facial expressions all suit the mood of the game. This game looks great...The sound has also had a fair bit of attention paid to it as well, because not only do we get a decent tune playing on loading and throughout the game, but we get some really cool and eerie sound speech which suits the mood perfectly. In fact, I enjoyed the sound so much that I kept it on in the train much to the detriment of my fellow passengers...Great fun and a highly entertaining game." Read the full review here.

Monster Blast has been reviewed by pocketgamer and has received a score of 8/10 and a sparkly Silver Award!
According to the review: "Just like an arcade game should be, it's great fun, challenging and has 'just one more go' permeating all aspects of its nature.The polish has certainly not been spared, either. The shooting ranges are bold, colourful and sport animated details. The monsters, meanwhile, are nicely drawn and stand out prominently from the backgrounds as they make their way past the firing line. And backing the excellent visuals is great sound...Amongst the countless puzzlers and ham-fisted action titles out there, Monster Blast's apt mobile take on the gallery shoot-'em-up is a breath of fresh air."

But, if your brain and fingers can keep up with the action, you will rise up in the ranks to become Condiments Supervisor, Desserts Coordinator or Head Chef. One day you might even be crowned Fast Food King!

Two of our games were nomiated for the Best Puzzle Category in the MobileGameFaqs Awards 2006. Here's what they said about the games.

Mastermind: "Starts of easy but then becomes one for the MI5 wannabees. And it's a great recreation of the classic 80s game."

Mystery Castle II: "...with so many levels, you will come back for more."
