Rayman 2. Ah. Where to begin? It brings back tons of memories from the past. However, don’t let the impressive and glossy graphics fool you. Controlling the game is fairly difficult. Playing the game is hard, not because the actual game is hard, but because the controls are translated poorly.Rayman 2 on the iPhone is a 3D, cartoonish platformer.

Earthworm Jim Review

2009-11-26T07:07:00.000-05:00

Earthworm Jim, a platforming video game from 1994, was wildly popular. While it hasn't received the success of Mario, it is known as a difficult platformer that provides hours of entertainment. I've never played the 1994 version, but I got a chance to try a re-vamped version of the game, developed by Gameloft, and released for the iPhone a few weeks ago.

The Game of LIFE is one of my favorite board games. The only problem I had with it is that it takes relatively long to play a game. My problems were solved when EA came out with The Game of LIFE for iPhone and iPod Touch. Now, this isn't the only board game by EA I love. They're churning them out, ranging from Monopoly to Boggle.

It's not that often that you get two games, each with unique ideas, developed and published independently by two different entities, released in the same time frame, and happen to be very similar.
