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
Finger Spiro+ (1)

If there was one toy that defined my childhood, it was the stuffed animal, big and small, from dogs to mythical creatures. Okay, so that has nothing to do with this review, but the other game that I absolutely coveted, despite never touching with my grubby, jam-riddled paws, was LiteBrite. Okay, once again, another toy ... Read More

So there’s this disease that’s been going around. Not so much a disease as an affliction, or an addiction, among my friends, and I, ultimately, introduced it to them, with all the swagger and bravado of any drug dealer. But, like the heavy warmth and stupor of a single malt Scotch, it just tastes so ... Read More
Tetris (1)
12/28/09 •
It’s about time I reviewed this game. A classic, Tetris has long been a household name since its original release in 1984, and after it became wildly popular from the gameboy version in the year 1989. My brothers and I were fairly addicted to Tetris in our younger years, and my parents never seemed to ... Read More
Traffic Rush (0)

I am so addicted to this game. Who knew a game could appeal to the traffic controller in me? Not that I in any way like traffic controlling. We should have a system more like Mexico’s anarchy rule of thumb, where the rules aren’t so much rules as they are guidelines. Wee! Chaos! *crunch* *burn* ... Read More

When you live in California, chiefly in the Southern areas and even in the golden, rolling hills of the Bay Area, you live with the threat of wildfires in the summer. Usually, they’re started by men, idiots who smoke in fields or who illegally camp in fields and neglect to cover their fire pits properly. ... Read More
Christmas iPhone Apps For Everyone *UPDATE* (3)
12/09/09 •
Yesterday, it finally felt like winter. With mittens and a scarf, and my cloche hat with plucked robin’s feather, I saw my breath for the first time, under gray, grizzled skies, and the whitewash of incoming clouds. Dusting off my winter coat, I strolled around in the chill, happy to see holiday decorations in their ... Read More
Alien Taxi (1)
12/03/09 •
In this fun game by IT Traunau, you play an unknown, nondescript taxi driver who totes around alien passengers to their various destinations. Silly, right? Well, the best games usually are. Your taxi isn’t so much a human taxi as it is, well, an alien one. Not that I’m referring to those cliche, saucer-shaped UFOs, ... Read More

It’s the first day of school and you’re a new student, freshly transferred and awaiting peer approval. Hmm, sounds like me in High School. With its relatable moniker, Surviving High School is an appealing game for tweens, teens, and young adults alike. A pivotal milestone in anyone’s life, High School is more easily romanticized with ... Read More
