When it came time to give Farm Frenzy 2 a test drive, I was- I’ll admit- kinda looking forward to it.  The description of the game sounded like it had a lot in common with a certain Facebook game involving farms:  growing grass, feeding farm animals, collecting eggs, taking produce to the market, making buildings, [...]

Bubble Trouble can be described by one word: addictive. This app by XWUZ Entertainment my sport a $2.00 price tag, but is well worth every cent. It is a game with a simple objective: get rid of as many shapes as possible.
The way that this task is accomplished is by clicking groups of three or [...]

In spite of the numerous ways an iPod Touch or iPhone can help you to stay connected or easily call up information on just about everything, most of the items in the AppStore share a singular purpose: they serve as distractions, as a means to help us pass the time.  They can be fun distractions, educational distractions, but I [...]

 
I am an avid reader, always have been.  What I read has changed dramatically, however.  These days, I read mostly work stuff.  Email, journal articles, memos, forms, handbooks- you name it, I read it.  But I’m not the fastest reader in the world, especially when I’m not reading for pleasure.  And because I’ve always wanted [...]

In the days before Pandora, Sirius, and Napster, radio ruled the world.  If you didn’t own the album, CD, or cassette, the only way to hear your favorite tunes was the radio.  Your yearning for the latest from Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers or U2 could only be satisfied by a radio DJ.    
Sometimes you [...]

With the announcement of the iPad comes all the speculation on how we will consume media like newspapers, magazines, and books. As far as books go the format is pretty much fleshed out with digital versions of books available on many devices. Magazines on the other hand are few and far between. Condé Nast Digital [...]

It’s hard to remember how I ended up in Pine City.  Everything before the “Crash” seems like someone else’s life.  People call it the “Crash” because they’re afraid of what it really is.  Like just saying the words “zombie invasion” makes it real.  Well, it is real.  I’m scared too, but we need to face [...]

Every summer, I would go to my local theme park and see tons of teenagers controlling the rides. I often wondered what it would be like to be a ride operator.
This game by Movile finally gave me a chance to become a ride operator. Okay…I didn’t actually get to control a real roller coaster and [...]

Let’s face it- there are a ton of free and premium weather apps available in the App Store.  The sheer amount of information they manage to cram onto a screen can be absolutely mind-numbing.  And some of them are a little…um…dare I say it?  Unattractive.
Don’t get me wrong, all those weather details are nice to know, [...]

It’s time to play Family Feud!!!!! I have always loved watching this show on Saturday mornings. The unique game play, funny answers, and catchy theme song just drew me in. Naturally, I had to review this Ludia app based on the game.
This game did not disappoint. It is set up where you have 12 families [...]

Welcome to Tapiti Island, home of Tapu City. This is where you get your big break in the delivery business. In your trusty pick up truck you drive around town picking up and delivering parcels, but don’t start lolly-gagging around because there is a time limit on each delivery. Starting out can be rough, with a [...]
