Eat This Not That Game (0)

Diet book are always big sellers. French Women Don’t Get Fat, The Okinawa Diet, The China Study, Dr. Atkin’s New Diet Revolution, and The Best Life Diet are but a few of the the most notable diet books from the last decade, each one acclaimed in its own right, each one later lambasted, and each ...

I love meaningless games. I had my tea this morning, black tea, with milk and honey – the only way to drink tea – walked the dog, had a hearty breakfast of homemade buckwheat granola and almond milk, a handful of kale chips from the night before, and my daily vitamin D and fish oil, ... Read More
Ascent (0)
4/13/10 •
It took me ages to figure out Ascent, a new game by SpareTime Apps that will certainly fill up whatever spare time you have – and, as in my case, start to invade your work time as well. It’s a brilliantly conceived game, once you over come the head-scratching beginning, and now that I’ve become ... Read More

Scrabble is my reliable stand-by for word games, but every now and then I want something a little different. It’s true, it’s hard to beat Scrabble, Boggle, and Bookworm, even Bananagrams (my new favorite) for their insane levels of unceasing fun, but when it comes to the iPhone, there are so many games in general, ...

There haven’t been too many apps lately that have caught my eye. There are so many apps out there already, plus new ones being made for the iPad, not to mention the Android system of apps – it’s simply overwhelming. And, half of those apps – hell, three quarters – are pretty lackluster, or just ... Read More

*Lets out primal scream* GGRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWRRRRRR!!! Okay, maybe that’s more of a animal roar, equivalent to me morphing into some hairy creature, with large, glistening fangs, and tearing off my shirt to make way for my expanding, beastly chest. Why the screaming? The panting and pounding of the chest, the wrath? Fly-Flap, a new game by ... Read More

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
Duck in the Truck iPhone Picturebook (0)

I think reading is tantamount to many good things in life, not just knowledge and literacy, and it has, for quite awhile now, unfortunately been backsliding in favor of more immediate gratifications, like computer games, tv shows, sports, simply hanging out with friends. All of these are good and well, but it always strikes me ... Read More
Mansion Expansion (0)
4/02/10 •
A very quirky and, I have to say, very original game, Mansion Expansion achieves an almost impossible task: it makes real estate look fun. When I think of real estate, I think of people figuring out down payments, and leases, and mortgages, potentially second mortgages, and even foreclosures, given the recent times. Being a realtor ...

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
