The thing about iOS apps is that they're constantly updated. If we post a review, it's almost a no-brainer that an update will go live in a few days seconds. That being said, we can't just re-review every game that gets an update, or the site would be more packed with re-runs than TBS. That said, these are three apps we'd happily re-evaluate.
$2.99
Infinity Blade is almost definitely the prettiest game on iOS devices. And with an ever-increasing list of unlockables, even more gorgeous iPad-2-optimized graphics, and infinite replayability the game just keeps getting better. But that's not why we'd re-review it.
No, it's biggest update yet is a doozy. Recently, Chair just added multiplayer to their wondrous app outing. This definitely changes things.
Verdict: Better!
Doodle Jump has a simple enough premise: jump upwards and don't fall. But what it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in update after update after update. Perhaps no game in all of the App Store has consistently updated as much as Doodle Jump. Furthermore, they've all been free!
Doodle Jump has different mechanics and scenery in its plethora of changing modes, which range from space, to Hop (the movie), to underwater, and -- best of all -- multiplayer.
Doodle Jump is the updating all-star and it only costs $0.99 and has only had a single spin-off game take its name, unlike those sellout birds.
Verdict: Better!
Don't get us wrong, we like Words with Friends. It's one of the few apps we couldn't live without. But that doesn't mean we aren't disappointed in it. Why? Because like a million years after getting the game (literally. A million years), it still plays piss poor, glitching out constantly, resigning games we're in the middle of (and almost always winning), and saying words that do exist don't exist. Cheating has run rampant in the community and no anti-cheating measures have been taken. Futile? Maybe, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't appreciate some effort to fight off all the "ataxias" laying strangers.
We loved this game when it released, but since then the only meaningful thing they've done is sell out to Zynga.
Verdict: Worse!
So what about you guys? Which games would you give a re-review to?
