Playman Track & Field (1)
2/24/10 •
In the spirit of the recently ongoing Olympics, here’s a cute game called Track & Field that will put you in the game, when you can’t partake in the sports, yourself. I like running as much as the next self-professed runner, but I will never be referred to as an Olympian – not in this ... Read More

The late, great Hunter S. Thompson wrote, “Football Season Is Over.” Nostalgia has set in and the Super Bowl was Sunday! Luckily, the next season starts March 5, 2010… for the players and coaches, that is: the rest of us will have to wait until September. Oi. Despite sports week ending last Friday, I think ...

Sports Week Wrap-Up (0)

It’s Sports Week on Appstruck, so what’s the first sporting app I choose to write about? Bowling. And, later? Air Hockey. That’s right, folks, you’re looking at a bonafide chick/geek. I can almost hear some testosterone-laden, gym rat jock grunting, “Huh, bowling. That’s not even a sport. What a chick!” But, enough with the stereotypes: ... Read More

O M G. I never thought I’d say this, but I love this sports game. And, it’s a football game. I’ve reached a milestone here. Of course, let’s be reasonable here: it’s not a true football game, in the sense that a true football game would actually require you to play football. BackBreaker Football by ... Read More
Tiger Woods PGA Tour (2)

Tiger Woods plays Golf?! You wouldn’t have a very good sense of his abilities if all you read were the tabloids – well, you wouldn’t have a good sense about his abilities outside of the bedroom. Now that I got that out of the way (really, how can I ignore it?), let’s take a look ... Read More
Air Hockey (0)

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 ...

Real Tennis 2009 (0)

Yesterday I discussed how much fun bowling can be, but today, I’ve shifted my focus to tennis. Aside from golf, I can’t think of a more uptight, frilly, steeped in aristocratic breeding, white sport than tennis. The sport just oozes British accents and white shorts, polo shirts, matching terry head and wristbands, and an immaculately ... Read More

I know what you’re thinking right now. Bowling? Really? That’s the best you could come up with? Well, no, I have plenty other apps up my sleeve, but let’s remember: bowling is a legitimate sport. Created some time in the 1800s, in the 1950s and 60s bowling alleys became immensely popular in the United States, ... Read More
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
