Chris Buffa (Modojo): You can bet that next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (otherwise known as E3 2012) will have plenty of eye candy, from Sega's Aliens: Colonial Marines to just about everything on Nintendo's Wii U. That said, we'll do our best to complete the task at hand, which involves seeing as many iPhone and iPad games as humanly possible. With this in mind, and a packed meeting schedule staring right back at us, here are the iOS titles we're most looking forward to.
Hardcore Droid - An RPG could be an enormous decade-spanning epic or it could have almost no plot at all. It could have a well-written main character or it could have a character that you created. It could be an open-world first person shooter or it could be a top-down, pixelated dungeon crawler—it’s the most experimental genre of games and the most diverse.
GameSpot: "Epic Games' iOS game officially canned after Impossible Studios was shut down earlier this year; developer Chair has more plans for the series."
The Role-Playing Game is one of the most hardcore genres in video games. Players build up their skills and customize their characters by putting their noses to the grindstone and killing bad guy after bad guy. RPGs immerse players in fantasy worlds they’re encouraged to explore with story-driven gameplay. Porting this experience to Google’s mobile platform has been a hit or miss experience with many games simply being old iPhone or console games, but if the last five months are any measure of what 2013 will be like for Android RPGs, then it’s shaping up to be a banner year.
