Exercise your brain and raise your stress levels at the same time!!
Welcome to Perfetto! Chances are you’ve probably played this game in your childhood as it is a direct copy of  the legendary game Perfection by Milton Bradley. The object of this game is to place all the yellow pieces into their respective slots before [...]

These games from GameStudio9 aren’t the most exciting things you’ll ever see, but they’re old classics and they’re free and they’re well done.
Tic Tac Toe allows you to play vs. another iPhone via bluetooth and it comes with easy/hard skill settings. Yes, it’s tic tac freakin’ toe, how much can the AI change between easy [...]

I’m too old and too jaded to get all giddy over pics of girls in bikinis… don’t get me wrong, I definitely don’t mind them! …but when Oasys Mobile posted their demo video on iPhone App Index, I knew I had to give it a try. I’ve reviewed apps that fart, vomit, and pop zits, so there’s [...]

Chess is one of those games that, software development-wise, can only get so good… no matter what platform you’re playing on, chess is chess and the game doesn’t change much. This means that what separates great chess games from average chess games is in the Bells & Whistles department, and Chess Pro totally rules in [...]

Lose Your Marbles is one of those games where you start off with a board that has one empty spot and you have to jump pieces over each other to remove them until there’s only one piece remaining. If that didn’t make any sense, here’s another way to say it: it’s a slightly fancier and [...]

Wow. Ephemeron Industries doesn’t screw around! They set out to make a kickass puzzle app, and that’s exactly what they did with Jigsawed. Anyone who thinks they can make a better jigsaw app should just give up because they can’t, and for once in my life I’m not trying to be a total smartass.
I reviewed [...]

I was expecting Puzzoodle Halloween to be a total waste of time because the title screen is ass ugly, but it’s really a pretty impressive jigsaw puzzle app.
This free Halloween version of Fulltilt Interactive’s non-themed $2.99 Puzzoodle Jigsaw contains 20 jigsaw puzzles that, when completed, form the pieces of a bigger Halloween puzzle. As you [...]

I’ve only tried one other hangman app (Hangman by JamSoft) and MobilityWare’s Free Hangman is definitely superior in just about every way.
In single-player mode you get to choose from a bunch of themed word lists, one of which is Halloween of course, and in two-player mode one of the “players” can type in their own [...]

Squaresville is an iPhone-worthy version of that annoying sliding-number-tile game we’ve all played and gotten pissed off at some time in the distant past. You know exactly what I’m talking about… that thing where you have to arrange numbers 1-8 in sequence by sliding the tiles around inside a grid, and you inevitably wind up with [...]

The Tangram has been around for at least a couple hundred years. Chinese people invented it to piss off iPhone users with spare time for puzzling!
If you like puzzles you’ll probably like Tangrams a lot, especially if you’ve never tried to solve one before.  This traditional puzzle looks easy and, at first, it might seem easy. Play [...]

Hanoi is Ian Marsh’s iPhone adaptation of an old game called The Towers of Hanoi. The object is to move discs of varying sizes from left to right with the only catch being that you can’t put a larger disc on top of a smaller one. That doesn’t sound too hard, right?
This game has survived since its [...]

If you don’t feel like paying $2.99 for a game that literally dates back to 1300 B.C., try JamSoft’s stripped-down version. It doesn’t track wins and losses and it’s far from fancy, but it’s Tic Tac Freakin-Toe. How fancy do you really need it to be?
