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 ...

Flinger Frenzy (0)
1/21/10 •
Flinger Frenzy is a new game by Motion 9 Studios that takes a creative twist on the usual block-breaking game. Rather than the usual scenario of objects falling down and you fumbling your fingers around the screen, back and forth, shooting blocks and trying to beat the clock, or catching a ball as it falls ...

Knock Your Blocks Off! (0)
1/19/10 •
When I play a game, I like to rotate my iPhone to the left. Block Off, by Martin Wiesner, immediately loses points for only allowing the game to display one way. I’m trying not to overreact about this, but it really bugs me, to the point that I used italics. Anyways, Block Off is a ... Read More

Right now, the big thing everyone is buzzing about is the tablet. Things like the Kindle, the Nook, other ebooks from Sony and the much rumored and anticipated iSlate from Apple. Not only is this tech changing the way we buy and read books, but soon it’ll change the whole publication industry, with the conversion ... 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

Around the holidays people spend a lot of money. A lot. We spend money on presents for our family and friends, for all our loved ones, of all different kinds, from those ever essentials of socks and underwear, to homemade doo-dads and quilts; to new Blu-Ray systems, Flip cameras, and that stunningly new Avatar game; ...

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
LetsTans (1)
12/16/09 •
Aside from its awkward title, LetsTans is pretty flawless, and a new favorite game of mine. I’ve been a huge Tangram fan ever since I received a Tangram puzzle set as a stocking stuffer when I was 8, maybe 7. Unlike most tangram sets, mine wasn’t multicolored, with glaring reds and yellows, greens and blues; ... Read More

Ever hear of the game Portal? It’s a brilliant game by Valve, the creators of Half-Life, where you escape from a seemingly uninhabited, undisclosed government building with the aid of an exceptionally conceptualized Portal gun. With Portal, Valve established the same atmosphere of brooding mystery seen in Half-Life, an atmosphere made more palpable and engrossing ... Read More

I did some holiday shopping yesterday, to add to my already increasing pile of presents for family and friends, the one I’ve dubbed Mount Presentrest for its jaw-dropping height, precipitous left side, and narrow, channeling gorges. I think some light condensation might have wilted the wrap jobs at top. After wandering the corridors of too ... Read More
