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
Bernoulli Ball (0)

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

DynaZoo is an interesting app. It’s supposedly for kids, but as an adult I found it pretty difficult… then again, my girlfriend does say I’m pretty childish sometimes, so take that with a grain of salt! DynaZoo, by Apps4U, is a matching game on methamphetamine and it’s unapologetic about it – their sub-title is “Animal ... Read More
Whimsy Animals (1)

Here’s a cute puzzle app for children – Whimsy Animals, by David Ross. It’s the rare household with children that doesn’t have at least one puzzle hidden somewhere, in the back of a closet, or out in the open on the bedroom floor. Puzzles are not only fun to put together, they work your child’s ... Read More
Bad Apples (0)
2/10/10 •
Every so often I come across a game that I can see myself playing over and over again. Or one, at least, that’s clever and quirky enough to wedge itself into my usual game rotation; given my obsessiveness over games, this is hardly a trifle characteristic. Bad Apples by Metaversal Studios is one such game ... Read More
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 ...

Rafter (0)
1/19/10 •
At last, I have a new favorite game – a favorite not only for its excellent presentation and ability to be picked up on the fly, but a favorite for its original spin on a classic setup. Rafter, by Punflay, immediately besets a puzzling situation amid the drawing board likeness of a Leonardo Da Vinci ... Read More
Sherlock Holmes (0)
1/14/10 •
Ever since the release of the recent Sherlock Holmes movie, with the ever-dashing Robert Downey Jr. as the master of mystery, himself, and with Jude Law as his witty sidekick Watson, I’ve noticed a small flurry of Sherlock Holmes apps in the iTunes Store. Okay, maybe I’ve only seen two or three, but considering there ... Read More
Where’s Waldo? The Fantastic Journey (0)
1/05/10 •
Once upon a time, a young man named Waldo took the first steps toward a great adventure… For anyone who enjoyed the Where’s Waldo? book series, be sure to check out the new Where’s Waldo? iPhone app by Classic Media. Not only is it just as good as the books, it offers some interesting new ... 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
