Area 51: Conspiracy Theory (0)
3/12/10 •
When I hear the phrase Area 51, my mind instantly conjures up those little green men, fallen spacecraft, military jurisdiction, and Agents Mulder and Scully – mostly Mulder. It’s an exciting phrase, more exciting, probably, than the actual military base, itself. Whatever conspiracy theories may or may not have actually happened, when viewing satellite images ...

Soul (0)

Soul by Kydos Studio kind of scares me. Really. It’s a freaky app. In Soul the game starts with a beating heart on a black screen, with the title Soul etched faintly in glowing blue white. A beating heart in a black setting always conjures the most vivid of horror movies for me, so upon ... Read More
Kill the Fly (1)
3/10/10 •
BAANZAAII!!!! These crazy flies are the real killers of Kill the Fly. The Kamikaze fly is but one of the many winged pests you will encounter in this strangely addicting app by Playsteria, an appropriately titled company name, if I may say so myself. Kill the Fly will definitely drive you to hysteria, if in ... Read More

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 (1)

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

It’s too easy to overlook all the great games in the App Store. With so many options, and so many new games released every day, it’s easy to just get caught up in what Apple recommends as the latest and greatest. I like to search deep down into the bowels of the App Store, sifting ... Read More
Air Assault (0)
2/23/10 •
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
Plants vs. Zombies (0)
2/23/10 •
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 ...

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
