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 ... Read More
Neon Blast (1)
11/11/09 •
Hip music. God, I love hip music. Neon Blast is an arcade style, sideways scrolling game that would feel right at home in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or some 80′s movie with a kid – in bright shirt with tacky, geometric designs, no doubt – tapping away ferociously on big, cumbersome controllers, with crudely lined ...

Samegame Gravitized (3)
11/04/09 •
It’s back to the bubble popping game for me. Seriously, do these games ever get old? Similar to how Elias Pietila redid the immensely popular Labyrinth game by Codify AB with his Wooden Labyrinth 3D game, Samegame Gravitized takes the bubble popping premise seen in other apps we’ve reviewed on Appstruck, and manages to heighten ...

Pong Double (2)
11/04/09 •
Who doesn’t love Pong? This iPhone app is an update to the classic game but with some new tricks up its sleeve. I’ll admit right now that I played pong style arcade games for days as a teen, so this pulled at my nostalgic Double Pong heartstrings! I wanted to resist at first, but then ... Read More
Bar Rush (1)
10/27/09 •
Waking up this morning, I wandered to the stove, brought a pot of water to boil, and brewed myself my usual cup of morning Tetley, with milk and honey. As the water heated, and I watched the honey from my spoon slowly spread along my mug’s bottom, I realized I had to make cider. Sorry, ... Read More
Touch Point (0)
10/27/09 •
Touch Point brought four words to my mind Duck Hunt iPhone App. Now don’t go calling the authorities because this is not an official connection. Hmmm, while I’m making connections, maybe Oregon Trail Hunting iPhone App works too. I cannot forget Point Blank either. Basically, Touch Point is an arcade shooting game that hinges on ...
