Who says there isn’t anything worth playing on your iOS device? For those uninitiated or born after 1998, Out of This World was one of the hardest games I ever played in my life. It was a side-scroller, puzzle, action\/adventure game all rolled in one. One of the things that made this game a standout in its day was the lack of a heads-up display and cinematic approach to moving the story forward; both features that are ubiquitous in video games today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iOS version of the game gets a nice visual upgrade without straying from the original’s minimalist aesthetics. In 1991 this game was gorgeous by being understated, the 20th Anniversary Edition brings that beauty to a generation that may be overly (wrongly) obsessed with textures and frame-rates. Simply put, this game is a beauty. From IGN’s review of the game, it appears that Out of This World will be making generous use of swipe and tap commands on the iPad but will also feature a more traditional on-screen D-pad option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
