Pocket Creatures (iPhone)

Once upon a time, in a land only fourty-five miles away from here, there once lived a young boy. He watched digi-mon, and saw other children of the same age playing with tamagotchi’s. Jealousy grew within the boy, then during that summer he grew up and was no longer interested in having his own little “pocket monster”. Fast forward to today – that boy is now a young man and…

The Game Trail: A Review (iPhone Application)

In the new effort from Fabrication Games comes an App that’s not a game at all, but instead a rather useful tool for gamers to find, discover, and be informed about the games available in the AppStore.

Hollywood Undead App Review: A Practice In Moderation (iPhone Application)

***First a note: I would like to make it perfectly clear that I am not critiquing the band Hollywood Undead in this review. I would also like to further state that I have NEVER heard their music. So, therefore, I am judging this App strictly on it’s own merits. That being said, I would like to explain that the sub-title is there as a note to myself – “everything in…

Pandamania: Legend Of The Fu-Manchu Review (iPhone Game)

The origins of the Fu-Manchu were shrouded in mystery, and were covered in what I assumed to be spicy mustard, until Wikipedia showed me the way.

FlickTweets Review (iPhone)

“I figure the odds be fifty-fifty” – Frank Zappa (From the song “Fifty-fifty”) While the song is by far much cooler and also far more ‘indie’ than this app, the quote seems to sum up my thoughts on this release from FlickTweets. The app is simple in its execution, and it does what it promises, but I do have my doubts about it. I also have some grievances as well.…

Sync-Ball Review (iPhone Game)

After playing the recent March release from Tozai Inc. titled “Sync-Ball”, I was harkened back to the days of yesteryear when I was standing, mostly out of frustration, in my friends living room trying madly to play “Marble Madness”. I spent a good portion of my child hood in that living room trying to beat down puzzle games on that old 8-bit system that we all knew and loved. This…
