Editor\u2019s recommendation:
\nWith popular games like \u201cTiny Tower\u201d and \u201cPocket Planes,\u201d NimbleBit has become one of the most recognizable and influential mobile gaming studios around, so it\u2019s always a big deal when they release a new game.<\/p>\n
\u201cBit City\u201d has been out for a couple weeks now and is absolutely spectacular. Not only is it an in-depth city building game, it\u2019s one that can be played with one hand.<\/p>\n
The goal of the game is to build a city and reach a certain population level before moving onto the next city. Players click to build new buildings to make more money, while spending money on new vehicles and upgrades.<\/p>\n
\u201cBit City\u201d is available now for free on iPhone and Android.<\/p>\n
Editor\u2019s disparagement:
\nThe fourth TV show in Netflix\u2019s continuation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, \u201cIron Fist,\u201d fails to match the quality of the shows before it.<\/p>\n
The main character, Danny Rand, returns to New York after being presumed dead for 15 years with a mysterious superpower and lots of enemies.<\/p>\n
One of the best parts of the other Marvel shows was the character development of both the heroes and villains, which \u201cIron Fist\u201d lacks. Viewers are thrown into the world with a na\u00efve protagonist and many unlikeable side characters.<\/p>\n
\u201cIron Fist\u201d is not a bad show, but it isn\u2019t nearly on the same level as the shows that came before it.<\/p>\n
