LilRacerz , an inaugural app by developers Blast One, is by definition an arcade ‘micro racer’ style game. However, so much energy, polish and life is infused into this game that it transcends its genre, making you forgot you’re playing a top-down 2D racer that only cost two dollars.
The game play revolves around nine different [...]

Dos Hombres introduces a relatively unique concept to the iPhone with the release of their app named Pen Pals. Like the name suggests, Pen Pals hooks you up with a complete stranger from another part of the world (more than likely you’ll be paired up with someone from the USA) so you can converse awkwardly about life in [...]

As far as working effectively goes, I am a black belt in procrastinating. In fact, I’m procrastinating at the moment from writing a research paper in order to review this app, which, ironically, is supposed to help end my procrastination. But at least it’s an incremental step.

Nuke Zen, from Bo Multimedia, is probably the most challenging puzzle game I’ve ever encountered in iTunes.  I don’t fully understand it, but does that stop me from playing?  Absolutely not! 
Here’s the premise:  you are Professor Zen, an Albert Einstein-like bloke with an impossibly high IQ.  This is a good thing because you’re also a nuclear [...]

Starship Shooter HD takes an established space action shooter formula and executes it right on.

Game play involves flying [...]

The app store is filled with strategic warfare games by talented developers, the now obscure but once insanely popular game Cartoon Wars comes to mind, but it’s rare to finding such an exceptional and enjoyable game that is Warlords: Call To Arms by Greyhound Games. In short, everything about the app screams iPhone and iTouch [...]

TopJam, from Ole Gammelgaard Poulsen, is one of those apps that make you wonder why no one thought of creating it before now.  It’s not a revolutionary concept and certainly won’t change the world as we know it, but it’s still pretty neat.  What exactly does TopJam do?  Its primary function is to pull up the 100 top [...]

You know the look.  You know the sound.  
Some things you hear and never forget them.  The ‘chung-chung’ sound of a Law & Order episode.  The sound of the Bionic Woman or the $6 Million Dollar Man running.  The sound the moving red eye of a Cylon from the original Battlestar Galactica.
