Underworlds
It’s been close to a decade since we’ve seen a sequel to Diablo and it may take just a little bit longer. With issues raised last year by fans about the art direction for the game (which was rumored to have led to some internal strife in the dev team) and now a purported delay of its release to 2010 along with StarCraft II, we may need to satisfy our Diablo fix in other ways. Sure, we can dust off the old CD-ROMs and give both Diablo and Diablo II another spin, but, how about checking out Pixel Mine’s Underworlds instead? Seemingly paying homage to the Blizzard classic, this adventure game for the iPhone has everything from the head’s up display (HUD) to the actual gameplay being eerily familiar. Yet, with fantastic controls, plenty of items to obtain, and enough hidden traps and treasure to uncover, Underworlds can pretty much stand on its own as you play as a guard of a local tavern taking odd jobs to carve out a nice little existence as a sword for hire and the occasional deterrent for Orc raiding parties. Trouble with Orcs, oh my! While it may be a little short in regards to playthrough time, updates promise to make it a better value than it already is. A lite version is available to test drive. Recommended. Price: $2.99.
