As indicated by the title’s pun, Fowlplay by Happynin Games is a game of foulplay conducted, no less, by a mischievous bird of a feather. Actually, if I wanted to nitpick, the word fowl is more typically used for chickens, or other domesticated birds kept chiefly for the purposes of their eggs or flesh, and ... Read More

BloodyRush by People and Dream Inc. is one of those games I continue playing despite scratching my head over its appeal. It’s a fine game, with surprisingly decent graphics, and highly reactive controls, but there’s no storyline to hold my interest, which I sort of expect from a game with such a nice presentation. Normally, ... Read More

In going along with the highest rated games in the iTunes App Store, here we have Air Assault by Snakehead Software, currently ranking 5th on the free apps chart, in terms of popularity. Normally, when rating free apps my degree of leniency is higher. After all, most free apps are of the silly, trite kind, ... Read More

I just watched Zombieland the other day and I have to say, zombie movies never get old. Something about the silliness of it coupled with abject horror, and plenty of bad acting or the usual character idiocy that goes along with being eaten by a slow-moving zombie – it’s a tried and true formula for ...

Airplane Duel (Formerly Biplane Duel) (0)

Cohabitation can be a real relationship breaker. If one partner puts in little effort cleaning, or even keeping the home neat and tidy *sheepish grin*, plates can fly and couches can become beds. Luckily, with the Bluetooth-enabled iPhone we can take our frustrations out on each other by tapping on a screen. Biplane Duel, by ... Read More

Have you seen Jaws? Of course you have. It’s only the biggest movie ever made about man-eating sharks, and it helped popularize the horror sub-genre of animal attacks – I think only Cujo and Arachnophobia were able to match Jaws in terms of their unprecedented animal horror, but there have been plenty others people were ...

Sports Week Wrap-Up (0)
2/05/10 •
It’s Sports Week on Appstruck, so what’s the first sporting app I choose to write about? Bowling. And, later? Air Hockey. That’s right, folks, you’re looking at a bonafide chick/geek. I can almost hear some testosterone-laden, gym rat jock grunting, “Huh, bowling. That’s not even a sport. What a chick!” But, enough with the stereotypes: ... Read More
BackBreaker Football (0)

O M G. I never thought I’d say this, but I love this sports game. And, it’s a football game. I’ve reached a milestone here. Of course, let’s be reasonable here: it’s not a true football game, in the sense that a true football game would actually require you to play football. BackBreaker Football by Natural ... Read More
Real Tennis 2009 (0)
2/03/10 •
Yesterday I discussed how much fun bowling can be, but today, I’ve shifted my focus to tennis. Aside from golf, I can’t think of a more uptight, frilly, steeped in aristocratic breeding, white sport than tennis. The sport just oozes British accents and white shorts, polo shirts, matching terry head and wristbands, and an immaculately ... Read More
Apache Storm – The Killing Spree (0)
1/28/10 •
I don’t like to have to start out a review like this, but Apache Storm – The Killing Spree, an app developed by Guillermo Marconi (a director and father of the radio??), is very difficult; so much so that despite being a very good game, I can’t bring myself to give it a higher rating. ...
