Hot New Release: Bit Pilot for the iPhone by Zach Gage
Zach Gage is the creator of the critically acclaimed title Unify, and he has recently released another unique title for the iPhone. Bit Pilot is a fast paced bullet dodging game with top notch music and retro stylized graphics. While Bit Pilot is lacking the depth that Unify presented, it is no less addicting and takes full advantage of the platforms casual pick up and play tendencies. The title has you guiding a small ship through asteroid infested space using the touch screen to control your direction. The touch screen controls quickly feel natural and are tuned perfectly for the intense onslaught of space debris.
The music provided by Saberpulse fits the retro theme brilliantly and is simply great music all on its own. Zach Gage integrated excellent tunes into his previous iPhone release, Unify, and he certainly did not disappoint here. As you play the game points earned gradually unlock new music tracks and a few other surprises. The package is wrapped up with achievements, and OpenFeint rankings.
At just $0.99 Bit Pilot is a premium title with quick pick up and play action perfect for its platform, and should absolutely not be missed.

Chalk Chain Review by Robert Mullen
Score: 2 out of 5
Chalk Chain is a sort of hybrid mix between the classic Snake, and a match-3 game. Unfortunately Chalk chain manages to remove any fun to be had from either genre, and ends up a cluttered mess.
The game is played on what is supposed to be More >
When I was first introduced to Lunarcy about a week ago, it was completely off my radar, so I had no idea what to expect. It was not long before Lunarcy had completely won me over with its slick retro-modern aesthetic, its charming electronic music, and its maddeningly challenging gameplay. Lunarcy is definitely not More >
