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 ...

Awhile back we reviewed an excellent navigational and local-discovery app by the name of SOHOinmypocket by AppFury. When covering that app, not only did I have memories of the east coast and my days in New York, I was amusingly reminded of that now, almost defunct toy I would play with in my childhood, of ...

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

What do you get when you combine Mario Brothers with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? I don’t know, but it may be a little something like Chop Chop Ninja. Let me introduce you to my latest addiction, in my cathedral compendium of addictions, mind you, but an addiction nevertheless – Chop Chop Ninja by Gamerizon has ... Read More

Here’s another game that shot to the top of the Most Downloaded list on the iTunes Store. Surprisingly enough, it’s not a game I would expect to reach the top of any list, but then again, I tend to stray from most hunting style games (though I admit a certain fetish, as a kid, for ... 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 ...

Open Fire Gold (0)
3/25/10 •
Open Fire Gold by BlueGill Studios starts out promising. So much, that I was on-the-edge-of-my-seat ready, brow furrowed in concentration, doing the preemptive wiping of my palms on my jeans, just in case they started sweating. The music is right on the mark, grinding with a pop rock edge, appropriate for any military movie – ... Read More

It’s rare that we don’t receive a daily request for a Kid’s App here on Appstruck. Today, we have iTouchiLearn Words by Staytooned, a kids app featuring entertaining animations to teach your toddler and preschooler a series of words and associated actions, all whilst making them laugh. With its short, colorful and funny animations, iTouchiLearn Words ... Read More
I Need A Muse (5)
3/23/10 •
Here’s an interesting app I came across recently, one that provides a service I have yet to find elsewhere in the App Store: I Need A Muse. The developer, Gautch, had the objective in mind to incite creativity for the writer, to spur his imagination when it came to creating characters. The app covers a ... Read More
