Even though Fighting Fantasy books have nearly a 30 year lead on the recently released Gamebook Adventures, the team at Tin Man Games have put together an equally remarkable and entirely original virtual game book for the iPhone. - Touch Arcade
Tin Man Games has done an admirable job of recreating the experience in an electronic format, and I haven’t lost one die yet! The story is top notch, the interface works quite well, and the music really gets you into the atmosphere of Orlandes. This is definitely a title worth taking a look at, especially if you’re familiar with the print version of this type of book. I for one am quite eager to see what future installments of the Gamebook series will have to offer. - iPhone Life
