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

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
Jamzu revisited (0)

Back in October, David reviewed Jamzu, a strategy board game. The review is located here. Well, Jamzu has recently been revamped with 2 player mode on the same device (previously 2 player was only allowed through Wi-Fi) and a new rolling system that created, as the developer claims, “a huge boost in game play quality.” ...

I think we’ve established how much I enjoy word games. The question is, why haven’t I reviewed Scrabble yet? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s because all my time is spent playing it. With a little Catan thrown in, of course. I remember being horrible at Scrabble when I began playing regularly some time in college, jumping ... Read More

So there’s this disease that’s been going around. Not so much a disease as an affliction, or an addiction, among my friends, and I, ultimately, introduced it to them, with all the swagger and bravado of any drug dealer. But, like the heavy warmth and stupor of a single malt Scotch, it just tastes so ... Read More

Sometimes we have to remember the simpler games on the iPhone, and how very entertaining they can be. Wooden Labyrinth 3D by Elias Pietila is one such game, taking the premise of the original wooden labyrinth game and placing it on the iPhone with cool, new visuals. The first game I ever played on the iPhone ... Read More

Words With Friends is one of the best turn-based crossword iPhone and iPod Touch apps out there. The app is basically in the style of Scrabble without ever billing itself as such. Although the board is bigger, you have multiple game options, and it has a great free version as well as an upgraded paid ... Read More

I needed a break today and tried out Jamzu, an iPhone app which has been adapted from the original PC Version that was included in the “Top 10 Great Board Games Vol. 2″. Jamzu is a board game I tried out Jamzu against the computer as I was friendless at the time and didn’t want to ... Read More
Trivial Pursuit (1)
8/18/09 •
Trivial Pursuit by Hasbro has long been a favorite of mine. Nothing like the pursuit of random factoids, general knowledge, popular culture and current events, I say! It’s nice to know that even those who possess little to no skills for those otherwise mentally challenging games of strategy, those who read and retain information on ... Read More

For my generation, raised from wee toddlers to early teens in the 1990’s, computer games were something of a regular pastime, taking an equal hold of tongue-wagging fascination as those already established video game console systems – those iconic grey Nintendos kept sheltered, dust-free in giant wooden entertainment centers that held a TV, videos, surround ...
