iPhone Games

A mobile game based on the hit AMC television series, Breaking Bad, has been spotted on the Australian App Store. A Touch Arcade forum member made a post about Breaking Bad: Empire Business on Sunday, but it appears that the game has been available for a few months. As with most TV show related apps, Empire Business is a free-to-play building title like The Simpsons Tapped Out, but instead of rebuilding Springfield your goal is to build your own criminal empire. The game features popular characters from the television show, including Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, Gus Fring and Saul Goodman. Here's a blurb from the official App Store description:

The new turn-based strategy game Artillerists takes the simple concept of Battleship and amps it up for mobile devices with big explosions, the ability to upgrade your army and more. The gameplay of Artillerists is simple -- just place your units on an isometric game board then take shots at your enemy. The first person to destroy all of their opponent's units wins. The aspect of guessing where your enemy's units are positioned makes Artillerists frustrating, in a good way, and addictive, but the game isn't entirely based on luck.

Nintendo's relationship with mobile gaming has been odd, to say the least. The video game company for years refused to bring its popular titles and characters to mobile devices before finally teaming up with mobile game developer DeNA in 2015 to produce apps for "smart devices." Nintendo then disapointed fans by announcing Miitomo -- a social networking app where users could create a Mii avatar and communicate with other users.

After releasing FNaF World a few weeks early to Steam, developer Scott Cawthon pulled the game due to negative reviews. In a note published on the Steam, Cawthon said he was "not satisfied with the reviews and ratings" the game was recieving even though it had a "Very Postive" overall response from players. Most of the negative reviews were directed towards the rushed and unfinished feeling of the game. Cawthon said he is currently polishing up FNaF World and creating a "fully 3D overworld" for a future release.
