Fighting games have been a part of gaming since the days of Karateka, with each new generation of hardware comes some form of an update to the classic formula. For too long, those updates were simply graphical in nature rather than innovation in the game play. Enter Combo Crew from The Game Bakers, or as [...]

Review: Dungeon Hunter 4 on JXD S7300 Android Tablet
April 18th, 2013 triverse Gameloft is catching quite a bit of flack over the in app purchases situation but honestly, it is not going anywhere anytime soon and it does allow pretty cool games like this to be accessible for more players that are either broke or are simply cheap. What gamers get with Dungeon Hunter 4 is a [...]

New Overhead Scrolling Shooter, Plasma Sky, Blasts Onto Google Play and iTunes
March 18th, 2013 triverse Overhead scrolling shooters, once a proud genre with their close cousing- the side scrolling shooter, is almost an endangered species of gaming. Sure, we get the occasional retro release from Capcom (how many times can fans be expected to buy yet another copy of any of the 194x series?), but fans want new original action. [...]

5 8-Bit Retro Throwback Titles to Play on Your New JXD S7300 Android Tablet
March 17th, 2013 triverse Retro is all the rage right now with everyone throwing stuff up that used to be old from Pepsi doing the “throwback” thing with their two most popular soda lines to game companies really getting behind the act of releasing old games on new hardware (shame none are doing it for magazines yet). Here are [...]

Review: Temple Run 2 on Android (Good but…)
March 1st, 2013 triverse Imangi Studios, the small team responsible for the endless running game that brought the genre into the third dimension, had released the sequel a bit ago on Android (even earlier on iOS). While Temple Run 2 is a good game, there are some faults, chinks in the armor if you will, that keep it from [...]

Wanderer:War Song Released on iOS (Unreal Engine 3 Powered RPG)
February 18th, 2013 triverse Unreal Engine in general was an engine, that when first announced, I was for sure was not going to go anywhere. Rumored high licensing costs, unique approach to game development and being the new kid on the block (Epic was still pretty new at this point) all added up to a planned failure as far [...]

New Ultima Game Coming to iOS (Android Eventually, Hopefully)
February 18th, 2013 triverse Ultima, the game series that started the legacy of Sir Richard Garriott in gaming on older computers such as the Apple IIe and eventually Commodore and IBM computers (and even a few consoles) is now coming to the iOS platform soon. Playing more like the Ultima Online games rather than the original single player games, the new [...]

Review: He-Man The Most Powerful Game in the Universe on iOS
February 15th, 2013 triverse He-Man and me go way back, WAY back to the early days of my childhood. I was born in 1976 which puts me right in the prime age group for He-Man when it originally aired on television and I took full advantage of it. I spent my summers working odd jobs for my parents or [...]
Review: Gunslugs Free from OrangePixel on the JXD S7300 Android Tablet
February 13th, 2013 triverse Let’s get something out of the way right now. If pixelated graphics bother you then definitely, skip this review and go read something else here on Gaming on Batteries because Gunslugs is an unabashed throwback to the retro days of gaming. OrangePixel have a reputation for giving their games old school graphics but solid gameplay [...]

Zombie Typomaniac Types R.O.C.K.S. on iPad
January 31st, 2013 triverse Remember Typing of the Dead on Dreamcast (and PC but who remembers that version)? Tagster is channeling that misbegotten, and almost completely forgotten, Sega property with their upcoming iPad title, Zombie Typomaniac. Taking on a side view for the action Zombie Typomaniac can fill the screen with tons of undead creatures that can only be destroyed by [...]

Review: Hellfire by Mobage on the Zeepad 7″ Android Tablet
January 1st, 2013 triverse To stand out in the world of gaming is a tough proposition for many companies, the competition is stiff and only getting harder to differentiate from. Mixing genres is an option many companies go for to make their game stand out to players, the mixture has to be just right or the result is a [...]
Preview: Wild Blood by Gameloft on the JXD S601 Android Hand Held Device
December 27th, 2012 triverse Wild Blood, a 3rd person action hack and slash title that I would have sworn would not run on the single core, 1 gig, 512 mb of RAM JXD S601, this game simply should not run but it does. I am using Skelrom 1.5 for those that may be experiencing different results and want to [...]

Johnny Impossible – 2D Side Scrolling Stealth Action with Hand Drawn Graphics Coming to Nintendo 3DS
December 25th, 2012 triverse 2D side scrolling action/stealth titles are hard to come by nowadays. Portable gamers have been able to enjoy several titles in this genre though, way back on the Game Boy Advance and the Splinter Cell games but nothing newer really has come along. UFO Interactive see this hole in the gaming universe and are working [...]

Review: Beach Buggy Blitz on JXD S601 Android Hand Held
December 23rd, 2012 triverse I reviewed Beach Buggy Blitz awhile back on the Zeepad tablet and while it was quite a bit of fun (it scored a 90), I have to say, it is just that much better on the JXD S601. Why? Physical controls of course. Yes, having physical buttons does make a TON of difference with Beach [...]
