With so many games in the iTunes Store, it’s easy to overlook plenty of more obscure, lesser-known games that, in many ways, prove to be more thought-provoking or original. There are already hundreds, if not thousands of block-breaking or bubble-popping games, so much that I don’t even want to experiment with any more now that ... Read More
Numbl: Number jumble fun.™ (1)
3/30/10 •
Here’s a game we haven’t seen on Appstruck for awhile – a math game. Awhile back we reviewed what we surmised as a kid’s math game, by the name of Razor Reef Brain Addition, a game one of our writers felt marked a perfect marriage between fun and education. Today, we have Numbl: Number jumble ... Read More
Simon: Classic (1)
3/25/10 •
I just had to review this game. I was born in 1984, and while erring a bit on the too-young side to truly appreciate, say, the classic Atari, or The New Kids on the Block, maybe even acid-washed jeans, midriff t-shirts and neon yellow shoelaces, it goes without saying that I’m a product of the ...

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 ...

DynaZoo is an interesting app. It’s supposedly for kids, but as an adult I found it pretty difficult… then again, my girlfriend does say I’m pretty childish sometimes, so take that with a grain of salt! DynaZoo, by Apps4U, is a matching game on methamphetamine and it’s unapologetic about it – their sub-title is “Animal ... Read More
Whimsy Animals (1)

Here’s a cute puzzle app for children – Whimsy Animals, by David Ross. It’s the rare household with children that doesn’t have at least one puzzle hidden somewhere, in the back of a closet, or out in the open on the bedroom floor. Puzzles are not only fun to put together, they work your child’s ... 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

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
Gluons (1)
2/10/10 •
Gluons by 2 Cubed reminds me a bit of Furballs in Space! It has the same, ominous music common to sci-fi flicks set in space, and it involves a similar premise of connecting like objects together, to eventually collect enough together to rack up points. Only, in Furballs, the objects played with were of the ... Read More
