Bizarro (0)
2/26/10 •
I’ve been a fan of Bizarro, an internationally-syndicated comic by Dan Piraro, for about as long as I can remember. I used to work construction with my dad and every day at lunch we would read the paper. I’d browse the front page, local and sports sections before heading to the comics section. I actually ...

Super Dance Christmas Elf (1)
12/16/09 •
With Christmas just around the corner, we’ve been receiving a flurry – a snow flurry, you could say (*chuckles to self* Oh Jackie, stop it) – of Christmas apps on Appstruck. I highlighted a bunch of them in the article Best Christmas iPhone Apps for Everyone, but there were plenty more that, for one reason ... Read More
Wooden Labyrinth 3D (0)
11/03/09 •
Sometimes we have to remember the simpler games on the iPhone, and how very entertaining they can be. Wooden Labyrinth 3D by Elias Pietila is one such game, taking the premise of the original wooden labyrinth game and placing it on the iPhone with cool, new visuals. The first game I ever played on the ... Read More
Ragdoll Blaster (0)
10/27/09 •
A friend suggested I try Ragdoll Blaster (“It’s awesometastic”), and although I was wary at shooting rag dolls from a cannon, this iPhone app has continued to be a ton of fun. Even better, my friend plays this on his iPod Touch, which shows that this is a versatile app (for a versatile linguist). The ... Read More

I don’t follow the world of competitive eating, but I am familiar with the I.F.O.C.E Nathan’s International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest, the world’s most famous eating competition, and one that Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi has reigned supreme as eating master until Joey Chestnut, a Bay Area native, took over his title in recent years. ...

SketchBook (0)
10/09/09 •
As soon as I heard about SketchBook, I had to use it. As an hourly CS4 user, an artist, and having spent 16 years of my life surrounded by Autodesk’s products, I feel well equiped to analyze this app to see if it meets the high standards of what the digital artist is looking for ... Read More
Puzzlegeddon (0)
9/14/09 •
If you need a puzzle, you’ve found planets full of them with Puzzlegeddon. Originally an addictive PC game, Puzzlegeddon has come to be an addicting iPhone app thanks to developer sadists at HandyGames who just want to see your life dwindle as you are constantly reaching new Puzzlegeddon characters and power-ups. The gameplay is decent ... 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

College Apps Week (also known as my rampant jealousy of your college lifestyle week) has come upon us. Starting fresh for the semester, we’ve come across some of the best apps to get you on your feet. But before we do, let’s look at the Facebook App on your iPhone. Procrastination’s a bitch isn’t it? ... Read More
Frogger – $0.99 Limited Time (0)
8/21/09 •
I can’t think of a single person who hasn’t heard of Frogger. Originally released for arcade games in 1981, it’s one of the most classic games, and still one of the most addictive – as old-school arcade style games tend to be. Its popularity was so rampant, it’s even famously immortalized in the Seinfeld episode ... Read More
