![]() It was one of my first test games to see how much better the 3GS ran everything. ![]() I remember running Edge on my original 2G iPhone. The Edge games have been iOS staples seemingly forever. If you're a racing game fanatic, give it a download. If you already bought it for iOS, your paid purchase means nothing – you still sit through the same freemium garbage as everyone else. It checks off a lot of boxes for things racing games should have, but the way these things are assembled shows a lack of respect for the player, and a lack of respect for the art of making a good game. This is a game designed without love, without soul. It tries to make you log into scammy things, buy stat boosters, complete daily challenges. You have to go through 10 pop ups before you can start playing, it's constantly forgetting your save state and forcing you to merge with the cloud version, then sit through all the tutorial pop ups yet again. The problem is, Asphalt 8 is just a mess of bad game design, bad interface, bad freemium components… bad everything. The graphics look good in screenshots (though it runs at far less than 60fps), and Apple likes to show it off. Some people like this game, don't get me wrong. The same game Gameloft has been progressively ruining with every update for the past several years, now on the big screen. If you don't trust me on this one, trust Apple – those game of the year awards don't come easy!

The iPad version of Badland is a previous recipient of Apple's coveted game-of-the-year award. And you should buy it on your iPhone immediately. It's a universal App, so buy it on your iPhone, and you'll own it on your Apple TV. Personally, I can't wait to play through Oceanhorn again, so no loss! It might come later, but for now, you'll have to restart your progress on the Apple TV. The only thing missing from the iOS version is iCloud saving. ![]() It runs at full 1080P at 60fps – Nintendo has yet to make a Zelda game capable of that – and takes full advantage of the Apple TV's A8 processor with antialiasing, Metal support, and new shader effects.Ĭontrollers are fully supported, of course – Oceanhorn for iOS supports them wonderfully as well. A love letter to the Legend of Zelda games, it perfectly captures the gameplay and aesthetic of Nintendo's classic action-RPGs, without ever feeling like a copy.

Short of searching the App Store directly on the Apple TV, there is no good way to see which games are available. ![]() There's one big problem right now: game discovery.
