Fun fact: Nintendo was a company that sold Japanese playing cards before it became the gaming company we know now. Clearly, the big N is ready to adapt. Nintendo is actually adapting right now, bringing some of their popular titles to mobile devices, with many more to come, including Mario Kart and a Pokémon game where you play by sleeping.

But if you can't wait to sleep with your pokémon, as weird as that sounds, or to race your friends, you can always try some of the great Nintendo games already available on the App Store. If you don't know where to start, you're in the right place. Today I'll give some of my favorite Nintendo games for your iPhone or iPad.

Retro review: Shadowgun

Sergio Velasquez ∙ August 31, 2019

I remember Shadowgun as one of the first games on the iPhone that used 3D models. For me, it was ground-breaking at the time and it made me think of the possibilities for mobile gaming in the future. It was one of my favorite games back in the day, and I wasn't the only one. When the game was released in 2011, it got so many positive reviews it was featured in the App Store Essentials Hall of Fame.

Currently, the game has created its own universe, with sequels like Shadowgun Deadzone, Shadowgun Legends and an upcoming game titled Shadowgun War Games.

Shadowgun was great back then, but is it great now? Should you spend $4.99 for it, or you're better off with the more recent, free-to-play sequel? That's what we'll cover in today's retro review.

What comes to your mind when you think about your backyard? The undead trying to eat your brain and a crazy annoying neighbor? Hopefully, you only thought about a video game. If not, you should go see someone about that.

Retro review: Angry Birds 2

Sergio Velasquez ∙ August 16, 2019

Who would have thought that such a simple game with some birds with anger issues would have become so big that ended up getting spin-offs, animated series, and even movies? I'm talking of course about the Angry Birds franchise, a simple game about birds trying to recover their eggs from a gang of piggies that want to eat them. Not the smartest plot, but it worked at the time.

Now, almost 10 years later, the birds' franchise is still around. And with a sequel that no one asked for, to a movie that no one asked for releasing in theaters, I wanted to do something special for this occasion. That's why we'll be taking a look at Angry Birds 2.
