Here are the 10 adventure games you really shouldn't miss." - iPhone Game Pick: Unstoppable Fist (Ragtag Studio) "An old school beat 'em up of sorts for the iOS, this modestly priced title will have you commanding a rather burly-looking, mullet-headed dude in a Miami Vice-like outfit." - Trailer: Heads up! Hot Dogs (Emmett Butler & Diego Garcia) "Fresh from the people responsible for Ultimate Flirt-Off and Dokideux Panikku, Heads Up! Hot Dogs is an upcoming 'all beef, action-packed frank-fest' for the iOS."
