Cannon Crasha Preview
Cannon Crasha Preview:
When your peace-loving kingdom suddenly comes under attack, there's only one thing left to do: man the cannon! I could say I came up with that line myself, but I'd be lying. Fact is, that comes straight from the trailer for Cannon Crasha, an action/strategy castle combat game that's getting set to blast its way onto iOS devices in the not too distant future.

Ace Flyer Preview
Ace Flyer Preview:

War of Nations Preview
War of Nations Preview :
War – what is it good for? Absolutely nothing, unless it's the kind of fake war that makes up the subject matter of so many real-time strategy (RTS) games. Then it's the more the merrier, which is why GREE hopes everyone will take part in War of Nations, a thoroughly social RTS that will be invading iOS devices in the coming months.
