Rubber Knife Throw (0)
4/20/10 •
Rubber Knife Throw is a perfect example of what I call a “just for fun” app. Easy to pick up and put down, easy to learn, and mildly entertaining for those casual, quiet moments in life when you’re in between duties and looking around for something to do. Despite the words like “knife” and “throw” ... Read More
Eat This Not That Game (0)
4/16/10 •
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, ...

Fly-Flap (0)
4/07/10 •
*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
Twistrix (1)
4/05/10 •
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
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 ...

White Lines (0)
3/30/10 •
I’m going to start this review with a summary from the developer: White Lines is a beautifully simple memory game in which players must redraw sequences of lines that travel across the screen. That’s really the best way to describe this app. It’s a memory game with a twist: instead of simply tapping colors in ... Read More
Bernoulli Ball (0)
3/29/10 •
I was listening to Hotel by Broken Social Scene this morning as I went about my routine – walk dog, shower, breakfast, fiddle with apps – and I noticed this one app, Bernoulli Ball, really complemented the music at hand. I’m always tickled by these strange nuances of life, so I decided to explore the ... Read More
