[iPhone] Floris is a gorgeous puzzle game
When it comes to puzzle games, Tetris still reigns supreme. It’s a classic that will never go out of style…which explains why so many iOS puzzlers are just variations on the Tetris theme. But let’s be honest: most of those Tetris clones are abysmal. And even the good Tetris games [...]

[iPhone] Addictive and pixel-tastic Random Heroes is a fun iOS platformer
Gamers of a certain age will always have a soft spot for bad graphics. As much as I might love games with silky smooth graphics and amazing frame rates, I’m always gonna crack a grin when I’m playing a game that’s built on pixels. Half the reason I enjoy web [...]

[iPhone] Blendoku offers color-based puzzles that are captivating and frustrating all at once
I’m going to say something that will probably make you hate me: I despise Sudoku. Sure, it’s a great way to keep your brain active and youthful as you begin to age, but as a game…it’s not much of a diversion. I like a good puzzle as much as the [...]
[iPhone] Indie App Pack comes with games, HD wallpapers, sounds, and more

[iPhone] ‘Snap, Snap, Go!’ is a fun game where you must take funny pictures based on challenges
Every generation has its own “must play” card game. In generations past, that game has been whist, or poker, or baccarat. In more recent years, card games like Apples to Apples, Magic, and Cards Against Humanity have been incredibly popular. If you’ve played C.A.H. and loved its cynical, often risque [...]
[iPhone] Check out 1800, an addictively simple game that tests your reaction time

[iPhone] MEGA Tic Tac Toe takes a classic social game to the next level
There isn’t a schoolkid on the planet who hasn’t scribbled out a few games of Tic Tac Toe when they were supposed to be paying attention in class. It may not have the prestige of chess, but Tic Tac Toe is the game that teaches most kids about strategy for [...]
[iPhone] Trainyard Express is an awesome puzzle game on iOS
I’m a skeptic by nature. Quote a fact to me, and rather than blindly accept it, I’ll always respond with, “Says who?” So when I saw the App Store description for Trainyard Express calling their app ”The best puzzle game on the App Store,” I felt compelled to check it [...]
[iPhone] Rebuild society on a desert island with Robinson’s Island
From “Robinson Crusoe” to “Gilligan’s Island” to “LOST,” Western society has had a centuries-long love affair with stories set on desert islands. I think we’ve all thought about what life would be like on a deserted island from time to time. Now, there is a game that will let you [...]

I love dragons. It probably says something that to this day, many years after it came out, the Sean Connery/Dennis Quaid movie Dragonheart is still my favorite movie. If you haven’t seen it, you should. Don’t let the old-fashioned beginning-of-CGI-era graphics fool you – it’s a fantastic movie. But as [...]
[iPad] Lead a terrifyingly cute band with My Singing Monsters
About a week ago, I walked in on my fiancee sitting in our room. She had her iPad in her lap, and strange, musical noises were coming from it. Confused, I came closer only to find that she had what appeared to be a white, big-mouthed bigfoot in the middle [...]
[iPad] Live The Hunger Games story with The Hunger Games Adventures
I admit – before the movie came out, I’d only vaguely heard of The Hunger Games. I recognized the covers of the books in stores, though “I should probably read that, some time,” and then moved on to get whatever book I’d gone in for. Then the movie came out, [...]
