From the review:
"Sometimes, there are games that I absolutely dread talking about. Triple Shot Sports is one such game. Anyone who follows me each week is well aware that I have played a lot of bad games in my time, but this is among some of the worst. I am amazed that somebody thought it would be okay to sell this game to poor unsuspecting gamers for 500 points. Even paying a dollar for the original iPhone version seems like a bit of a rip-off to me, but I digress. If you ever had any intention of purchasing this game, then I urge to read on. Don't worry, this won't take long."
Rage of the Gladiator has you beating Greek mythology foes in sort of a Punch-Out style, except with magic.
NWR - "Rage of the Gladiator was one of the best hidden gems from WiiWare. A Punch-Out style fighter with various characters influenced by Roman mythology sounds like a match made in Heaven, and thankfully, it was! Now after three years, the game finally makes its way to the 3DS. While I do miss the really cool MotionPlus controls from the original release, the game still manages to be fun and charming in its own right."

"When I decided to take a chance and review Rage of the Gladiator, I truly had no idea what to expect. A lot of interesting games hit the eShop, and it is often difficult to tell from just a cursory glance whether or not they are worth your money. Upon booting up the game, I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be very similar to the classic Punch-Out!!, except with medieval monstrosities as foes, and a pronounced focus on Greek mythology. Developed and published by Gamelion Studios and Ghostfire Games, it was originally released back in 2010 for the Wii Virtual Console to high acclaim. Now available three years later for iOS, Android and 3DS, was it worth reviving or should it have died in the arena?"
I'm getting so tired of bad iPhone ports!
I hear ya man, developers need to get on their game (no pun intended) when making ports. Its like no one even cares when a ported game sucks. And if its on a phone, I'd like to think that I paid for a decent game to help me pass the time since smart phones cost an arm and a leg.
Rage of the Gladiator sounds pretty good, might have to check it out
