Minigore (iPhone)
Hooray for Minigore, king of the twin-stick iPhone shooters! No, really, it is. Other games may offer more in terms of content, but none of them feel as right as Minigore. It’s a simply brilliant game. I do love it so.
Anyway, I have set myself a goal. I want to get 100,000 kills before Christmas, so I can unlock John Gore’s Christmas hat outfit while it’s still relevant.
Of course, if I start getting sick of the game then I may give up – I’m not going to punish myself to fulfill an almost meaningless goal – but I’m going to be playing a lot of Minigore. At least it’s only a goal based on time spent playing, rather than any sort of skill.
Anyway, I’ll be sure to keep you posted on my progress. I’m sure you’re all terribly excited.

Just started it up to see the new enemy. That done, I stopped playing. It really didn’t grab me at all. Is my love affair with Minigore over? Stayed tuned!

Updated 3.7 wiped save data for those unlucky enough to load the game after installing it, but another update came out at the weekend that threw goodies at us as way of compensation. Now, then, I’ve got every single character unlocked and huge bank of kills for any new characters that get released. I’d rather

I’m often asked for iPhone game recommendations, so I’ve decided to post my list of the ten best games available for the platform. The plan is to post a list every few weeks, so please click the “top ten lists” label below to make sure you’re looking at the latest version if you’ve come to
Ten Best Games of 2009

Normal blogging will be resumed shortly, but to mark the new year, here are the best ten games of 2009… that I played. (So no Modern Warfare 2 or Uncharted 2, for example.) It was hard to whittle it down to a top ten, but I think I got there. Unfortunately, it means that 33rd

I did it! I did it! Yes, I got my 100,000 kills and unlocked Xmas Gore. He’s got a new hat! And here he is getting horribly killed. There’s no time to take screenshots in this game.

I’ve got over 75,000 kills now, so the end is in sight. Not that I particularly want it to end, I’m still thoroughly enjoying myself. Also, I seemed to be much better at the game last night that I’ve ever been before. I kept beating my high score and now the top three scores in

Played a little bit last night. Only up to 66,003 kills at the moment, but I still reckon I can make 100,000 before Christmas.

It’s amazing how fun a game of running backwards while firing a machine gun can be, because that’s basically what Minigore is. I loop round the level, firing in a shallow arc behind me, occasionally picking off enemies coming in from an awkward direction and picking up power ups when I can, which is normally

Didn’t quite get up to 50,000 kills over the weekend, but I’m getting there. I think I should make my 100,000 target before Christmas. Don’t think I’ll be going for the character that costs 1,000,000 kills to unlock any time soon, though.

So, I’ve bought what is, to my best recollection, my first bit of paid-for DLC in an iPhone game. I decided that in my quest for John Gore’s Santa hat, I should play as Santa himself. He cost 59p – the same as the game itself, amusingly – but I see that as partly a
