PatMan Picks Free iPhone Games: Pitfall!

It has been a little while since my last free iOS pick and that has been for good reason. You see, all of my limited video game playing time has been focused squarely on Halo 4.  But when I saw that Pitfall! on iOS had dropped to absolutely FREE, I decided to give it a download. Now before you get all retro happy on me know this, Pitfall! is not the original game. It is not a remake but instead an all new game using the Pitfall name. Its pretty good looking and controls well with the touch screen, most of the time. There are caverns to jump across, snakes to whip, caves to explore and vines to grab onto. And a lot of places to run, and maybe by now you guessed what type of game they went with here?  The only problem with Pitfall! it that it is yet another “Temple Run Clone”. That’s right Pitfall! is yet another in the endless wave of “endless runner” games that have swarmed the iOS market in the last 6 or 7 months. So, it is actually a little on the disappointing side that Activision whet this route with the Pitfall franchise, to be honest. But ,on the bright side, it is one of the best looking and most fun “endless runner” or “temple run” clones I have played. So go get downloading the game as I don’t think it will last for free for very long. This may not be your Fathers ( or your own, if you an old fart like me) version of Pitfall, but what IS there is decent fun, albeit in a completely overdone, unoriginal iOS game play type. If you love endless runners, Pitfall! will be one of the best ones for you! Check out some in game screen shots I took below as always! See you next time for more FREE iPhone picks.
