    Finger Spiro+ (1)

    3/19/10 •

    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

    Traffic Rush (0)

    12/10/09 •

    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

    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

    Grover’s Number Special (0)

    12/01/09 •

    I was born in 1984, and by that time Sesame Street was a household name, with names like Big Bird, Elmo, Bert and Ernie cherished by young minds across the country. When reading about the show currently, I was surprised and intrigued to read that Sesame Street in Africa is introducing an HIV-muppet by the ... Read More

    Balloonimals (1)

    11/13/09 •

    In carrying with the kids app theme for today, I’ve decided to finally review Balloonimals. I love this app. It’s amazing. Whenever I show off the iPhone’s capabilities to those unfamiliar (e.g. my mom), I tend to whip out Balloonimals because it’s quick, graphically flashy, and interactively beautiful. It’s the stuff that makes you weep ... Read More

    ABC Maze (2)

    11/13/09 •

    After all that gamer talk yesterday, today is my reprieve from anything so serious. Oh yes, that means kid’s apps! ABC Maze is a recent development by the creators of iWriteWords, a favorite app of ours we gave high accolades several months ago in June. Thankfully, gdiplus knows a thing or two about developing stellar ... Read More

    Doodle Buddy (1)

    11/05/09 •

    Who doesn’t love to doodle? I still have the blue crayon doodle of my boyfriend hanging on my fridge that I mocked in my review for Adam’s Art back in June. Several months ago I reviewed a great kid’s app by the name of Adam’s Art that entailed coloring and otherwise painting motions, with the ... Read More

    Chalk Chain (2)

    10/16/09 •

    Today really is the day of simple, breezy apps that barely require an afterthought, like playing with your eyes closed to kill time. Actually, playing to kill time is perfect for this app, Chalk Chain, as it was created by a company named Chear Studios Inc. whose URL is killtime.ca. Go figure. The game is ... Read More

    Catch Cows (0)

    10/16/09 •

    As a kid, I watched an inordinate amount of Looney Tunes. Racist and controversial as it was in hindsight, it provided a humorous, engaging, and generally addicting outlet for most kids of my generation – at least, in rural Pennsylvannia, during those times when were weren’t hurling snowballs, building ice forts, and otherwise raking leaves ...
