    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 ...

    Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2010 (0)

    2/24/10 •

    In light of the recent controversy over the loss of certain scintillating, titillating apps in the iTunes app store, we rejoice over our continued access to the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition on the iPhone. It may seem odd that the Swimsuit edition is still available, given the picketing outrage of many a feminist, but ... Read More

    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)

    2/05/10 •

    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

    BackBreaker Football (0)

    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

    It’s hard to think of Sports without thinking of Sports Illustrated. It’s kind of the go-to resource for many a sporting fan, like Forbes is for business people, W is for fashion mavens, and US Weekly is for gaudy gossip (I had to throw that one in). And, who can forget the famous and much ... Read More

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour (2)

    2/05/10 •

    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

    After playing yesterday’s Real Tennis 2009, I developed a hankering for some real tennis. If there’s any sport I truly enjoy watching, or actually look forward to, it’s tennis. There are plenty of sports-tracking apps in the iTunes Universe, but I heard some good things about CBS Sports Mobile. Naturally, I thought I’d give a ... Read More

    Real Tennis 2009 (0)

    2/03/10 •

    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
