    Space exploration, mining, and alien life. Gene Effect is a slow paced expedition into a world fraught with intrigue and peril.

    Even with all the content, for the current asking price it's difficult to recommend Gene Effect as something that will definitely be enjoyed. But as something peacefully simple but exceptionally pretty, Gene Effect will be right up the alley of many an iOS gamer.

    A totally off the wall fully loaded action adventure game with simply sublime graphics and then some with the lighting effects.

    Immersive s    toryline,well designed levels and game play that pulls you in,twists you around and takes you on a thrill ride of a journey.

    Totally off the wall,i seem to like that saying,soundtrack that you simply need your headphones in to fully experience and even more so when in a dark room so you can totally immerse yourself in this truly outstanding game.

    Why are you still reading this? as this is an early Game Of The Year contender already in my opinion of course.

    Go play this game already and thank me afterwards for pointing you in the right direction in finding a game that surely deserves a whole load of praise and attention.

    Please note:

    I'm not a PR representative of Lightstorm3D despite the fact that i'm practically going all gaga with this review.

    It's just some games come along that just need to be discovered and played and this is one of them WOW games.    … Expand
