A woman is found murdered on the banks of the Hampton River. Nobody seems to know who she is, and the circumstances of her death are, to say the least, suspicious. Who is the victim?

That is, if you think you’ve got what it takes to join a group of trained detectives in their quest to solve this mysterious case. All you need to do is download Murder Detective from the AppStore, and you’re set to go.

If you’re tired about sending the same old boring greeting cards to friends and family and if you find the entire process an enormous waste of your time, then perhaps you should try to make it into a game. Or better yet, download an iPhone game that has already done that for you: Play N Wish Merry XMas.

With Play N Wish Merry XMas, you get to play four different Christmas games that will earn you points and unlock new greeting cards for you. Choose one of the cards and send it along with your message to friends and family. The higher you score, the more cards you’ll unlock.

The problem is that the games are insanely hard to control. They make use of the iPhone’s accelerometer and your attention and agility to the max. All four of the games are a real test, so there’s the risk that instead of turning a boring process into a fun task, you might end [...]

Almost all questions have right answers and most of us spend our lives to trying to find them. Sometimes it’s good to take a breather from this quest and, instead, try to find the wrong answer. It sounds simple enough, right? All questions have a right answer and plenty of wrong ones. But in SetBreaker the wrong one is right!

In SetBreaker, you have to answer questions with the wrong answer to score. The more questions you answer in the limited time available, the higher your score. So how does it work?

Each question is made up of four answers, out of which, usually, only three will be the right ones. Your task is to choose to wrong one to advance to the next question. Think of the questions like word association games. Three out of four words will belong in the same category, while the fourth is the odd one out – the [...]

Christmas is right around the corner and most of us feel uplifted by the shopping rush around us. There’s hardly any time to relax, wind down and pick up a game to play. But for those of us that did our Christmas shopping early this year, there’s plenty of time to mock those that left it to the very end yet again by getting our hands dirty with some great games that were released in the AppStore. One of these games is Draco and it will fire up your world. Literally!

Draco is a fun arcade slide-and-shoot type of game that seems to get a lot of the ingredients right for the recipe to success. I actually like it when games have a story line, something you can follow along and that even hardcore action shooter gamers can feel like they’re involved in. Draco starts out beautifully, with a myth about how the Great Heartwood tree was the heart of the world [...]

A delivery container was lost, and all the padlocks of the container have been scattered along four continents with different seasons. Unless somebody with the necessary skills appears and manages to complete the challenges to recover the padlocks, then the container will never be opened again. What do you say? Can you be the one to recover the padlocks? Download Four Seasons Planet from the AppStore and find out.

Four Seasons Planet is an arcade game, where you have to calculate your every move to remove the delivery boxes on the screen in the proper order, so that the parts of the padlocks don’t fall on the ground.

Remember when you were little and you used to pile up bricks or cards or whatever seemed appropriate, trying to make your pile as high as possible?

Especially now, when you can test your stacking skills with a single download of Stack King from the AppStore.

Stack King is an addictive arcade game, where you basically have to create a stack of boxes. And you can do all this with just one tap on the screen. One tap, plus a good hand to eye coordination and reaction time. Because these boxes don’t just stand there, waiting for you to pick them up. As they slide horizontally from one side of the screen to another, you have to stop them with a tap, when you think [...]

It’s been a while since I played a good number-puzzle game. I used to love their simplicity and, most of the times, the twists that these games brought to old classics like Sudoku or Minesweeper. Rocky Isle may be a bit disappointing in the graphics department, but it’s a seriously great game for the iPhone and iPad.

If you’ve played any type of grid-based numeric puzzle game, you should be able to get the low-down of Rocky Isle in no time. Start out with the easy puzzles and the game has a very low learning curve. The hard puzzles however will have you pinned down in front of your iPhone for a few good minutes!
