With so many games in the iTunes Store, it’s easy to overlook plenty of more obscure, lesser-known games that, in many ways, prove to be more thought-provoking or original. There are already hundreds, if not thousands of block-breaking or bubble-popping games, so much that I don’t even want to experiment with any more now that ... Read More

I think reading is tantamount to many good things in life, not just knowledge and literacy, and it has, for quite awhile now, unfortunately been backsliding in favor of more immediate gratifications, like computer games, tv shows, sports, simply hanging out with friends. All of these are good and well, but it always strikes me ... Read More
Mansion Expansion (0)

A very quirky and, I have to say, very original game, Mansion Expansion achieves an almost impossible task: it makes real estate look fun. When I think of real estate, I think of people figuring out down payments, and leases, and mortgages, potentially second mortgages, and even foreclosures, given the recent times. Being a realtor ...

Intel Postcards from the Future (0)
4/01/10 •
When Appstruck received a review request for Intel Postcards from the Future from Skyrockit, we didn’t quite know what to make of it. An e-card… from Intel? Was it actually created by Intel? Or, why would Intel want to sponsor some kind of postcard app, which frankly, feels a little dated? E-cards really became big ... Read More

We’ve all played with a Magic 8-ball, right? Please, I don’t even have to ask – of course we all have. It’s nearly a rite of passage for elementary school kids, shaking that black, plastic ball and asking it those silly, private, yes or no questions that we, imperialistic, capitalist citizens all would like to ...

Numbl: Number jumble fun.™ (1)
3/30/10 •
Here’s a game we haven’t seen on Appstruck for awhile – a math game. Awhile back we reviewed what we surmised as a kid’s math game, by the name of Razor Reef Brain Addition, a game one of our writers felt marked a perfect marriage between fun and education. Today, we have Numbl: Number jumble ... Read More

What do you get when you combine Mario Brothers with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? I don’t know, but it may be a little something like Chop Chop Ninja. Let me introduce you to my latest addiction, in my cathedral compendium of addictions, mind you, but an addiction nevertheless – Chop Chop Ninja by Gamerizon has ... Read More

Here’s another game that shot to the top of the Most Downloaded list on the iTunes Store. Surprisingly enough, it’s not a game I would expect to reach the top of any list, but then again, I tend to stray from most hunting style games (though I admit a certain fetish, as a kid, for ... Read More
Simon: Classic (1)
3/25/10 •
I just had to review this game. I was born in 1984, and while erring a bit on the too-young side to truly appreciate, say, the classic Atari, or The New Kids on the Block, maybe even acid-washed jeans, midriff t-shirts and neon yellow shoelaces, it goes without saying that I’m a product of the ...

Open Fire Gold (0)

Open Fire Gold by BlueGill Studios starts out promising. So much, that I was on-the-edge-of-my-seat ready, brow furrowed in concentration, doing the preemptive wiping of my palms on my jeans, just in case they started sweating. The music is right on the mark, grinding with a pop rock edge, appropriate for any military movie – ... Read More
