Balloonimals (1)
11/13/09 •
In carrying with the kids app theme for today, I’ve decided to finally review Balloonimals. I love this app. It’s amazing. Whenever I show off the iPhone’s capabilities to those unfamiliar (e.g. my mom), I tend to whip out Balloonimals because it’s quick, graphically flashy, and interactively beautiful. It’s the stuff that makes you weep ... Read More
Doodle Buddy (1)
11/05/09 •
Who doesn’t love to doodle? I still have the blue crayon doodle of my boyfriend hanging on my fridge that I mocked in my review for Adam’s Art back in June. Several months ago I reviewed a great kid’s app by the name of Adam’s Art that entailed coloring and otherwise painting motions, with the ... Read More

Bar Rush (1)

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
Lunarcy (2)
9/10/09 •
An iPhone app that’s truly challenging, Lunarcy has become one of my favorite games. This is partially due to realistic physics that change with each level, the multitude of levels available, and joyous glee wheezing from my inner nerd. Lunarcy is an arcade, puzzle orbit simulation game. Yes it’s a mouthful, and yes it takes ... Read More

Remember the Tamagotchi craze of the late 90s? I must have had four of them – one original Tamagotchi, two brand rip-offs, and one even from a McDonald’s kids meal. Oh, you heard me right. Tamagotchi’s were so rampant in our girly tween culture that even fast food giants picked up on the cash bandwagon. ... Read More
Sims 3 – Review Update (0)
8/19/09 •
Back in June, I attempted to review Sims 3 and it simply wouldn’t work on my iPhone – it worked for several moments, crashed, and refused to work thereafter. I was a bit miffed, particularly since I absolutely love all the Sims games, pledge undying allegiance to EA Games, spent Spring break sophomore year of ... Read More
Doom Resurrection (0)
8/18/09 •
It’s gaming week on Appstruck and despite my bias toward the simplistic puzzle and cutesy adventures games available in mass numbers on the iPhone, I felt like starting this week with a bang, covering a PC turned iPhone game that manages to successfully compartmentalize a monster game with massive system requirements that choked enough people ...

8/07/09 •
With today being the last day of the week to cover iPhone Music apps, what better way than to end it with a spin off of the incessantly popular Guitar Hero and Rock Band mania? Guitar Rock Tour is an iPhone music gaming app produced by Gameloft that rides on the coattails of success garnered ... Read More
Flight Control (0)
6/22/09 •
For anyone who has seen Pushing Tin, being an air traffic controller is serious business, with some seriously fast talking. Sure, the technology has changed since 1999, as noted in a video provided by the Federal Aviation Administration, but still, having an air traffic control station is integral to the safety of all planes touching ...
