Kill the Fly (0)
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 a ... 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
Kid’z Maze (1)
2/24/10 •
Whenever I see the plethora of kids apps in the iTunes App Store, I’m constantly reminded of how big this market is – even Apple recently highlighted a section called Apps for Kids in that rotating column of theirs at the top of the App Store screen. Given my exceptional reviews of a few kids ... Read More
Bad Apples (0)
2/10/10 •
Every so often I come across a game that I can see myself playing over and over again. Or one, at least, that’s clever and quirky enough to wedge itself into my usual game rotation; given my obsessiveness over games, this is hardly a trifle characteristic. Bad Apples by Metaversal Studios is one such game ... Read More
Knife Toss (1)

Did you ever have a phobia as a kid? Plenty of kids do, as I did to a degree. Mine was a little more cliche: I was scared of clowns. Maybe not downright petrified of them, but I certainly never thought they were cute, or appealing, with their strangely painted faces and warped features, bright ... Read More
Air Hockey (0)
2/04/10 •
Remember when we were kids, and we would save our money to spend it carelessly in an arcade galley, in the fruitless attempt to grab a stuffed animal with that useless claw, or to team up, side by side, to shoot hostage-taking villains in Virtual Cop, or to bang pucks in Air Hockey, and then ...

Flinger Frenzy (0)
1/21/10 •
Flinger Frenzy is a new game by Motion 9 Studios that takes a creative twist on the usual block-breaking game. Rather than the usual scenario of objects falling down and you fumbling your fingers around the screen, back and forth, shooting blocks and trying to beat the clock, or catching a ball as it falls ...

Furballs! (In Space) (0)
1/20/10 •
In my last post I mentioned that Block Off didn’t allow the display to flip depending on the orientation of your phone. Well, neither does Furballs!, developed by Dan Russell-Pinson, but at least this time the orientation is to my liking. Furballs! is a matching game where you guide floating little balls of fur into ... Read More
Virus Laboratory (1)
1/11/10 •
In yet another rendition of the block breaking game, Taplay has created Virus Laboratory, a very addictive thinking game with viruses as your foes and medicines as your allies. The idea is cute, if not silly, and the presentation is colorful and seamless, a well-laid out game with a bright array of angry and anxious-looking ... Read More
Tetris (1)
12/28/09 •
It’s about time I reviewed this game. A classic, Tetris has long been a household name since its original release in 1984, and after it became wildly popular from the gameboy version in the year 1989. My brothers and I were fairly addicted to Tetris in our younger years, and my parents never seemed to mind, ... Read More
