Galaxy on Fire is such a rubbish name for a great game. I’d go so far as to say that even Roger Corman would reject it (and he ended up with “Battle Beyond the Stars” once). Get past the hokey name, and you have a wonderful mobile version of th...

Remember the 1970's classic logic game Mastermind? With the coloured pegs and fiddly little black and white marker pins? There have been several implementations for PDAs and smartphones over the years - here's my review of the latest, Color Master, y...
