We’ve played games long before having any iPhone, Playstation or even a computer. From outdoor activities to board games, games have kept us busy for hours, when we were young. And arcade games, of course. I remember having a device that now looks like the PSP’s great, great, great grandfather, that had all these classical arcade games on it. Like Tetris, Snake and those shoot’em up type of games, where you had to move some sort of ship from one end of the screen to the other to shoot at other ships or dots on the screen.

Today, I don’t even know where my old playing device is. But I’m always happy to see all these games coming to life on iPhones, iPads and iPods. So, I was pretty excited to come across Wingbreaker. Because it’s exactly the type of shoot’em all game that I was talking [...]

WondaGems iPhone App Review.

The AppStore is filled with Bejeweled clones. Some are actually quite good, some not as much, but they all offer the same switch-to-match-three gameplay. Enter WondaGems. While it doesn’t match Bejeweled in its addictiveness and graphics, for hard-core fans of the genre, it will definitely prove to be a delightfull challenge.

How to [...]

The hugely successful Temple Run that had over 170 million fans running in 2011 is now back with its second installment, aptly named Temple Run 2. The new game doesn’t change much in terms of game play, but it brings in vastly improved graphics and new obstacles and abilities that will have you trembling at high speeds.

Temple Run 2 game play doesn’t differ much from the first game. You still have to run as crazy from the giant monkey chasing you (a scarier monkey grant you), dodge obstacles, jump over pits and collect coins and other powerups. Grab as many coins as you can can to advance levels and unlock new characters.

You start the game with a death sentence. You’re going to die eventually. It’s just a matter of when and how. Will the angry ape catch you? Will you slam head first into a wall or take a dive in the sea? Perhaps fire will have the best [...]

Word games are probably one of the most popular board games. I mean, who here hasn’t played Scrabble, at least once in their life? It’s fun, and it’s also a pretty cool brain teaser. The only thing you could complain about, is that a game of Scrabble takes too much time to play from start to finish. Especially when there are only two players involved. But there’s a game that seems to have solved this problem. This is Ruzzle, and you can download it for free from the AppStore.

Ruzzle is a great word game, where you have to find as many words as possible on a board, by swiping your finger across the screen. The only rule is that the letters must be connected to each other. Therefore, you can’t pick a letter from one corner to form a word with a letter from the opposite corner, if there aren’t any connecting letters in-between. Sounds [...]

Slashing games are far from being my cup of tea. Although Fruit Ninja was a big hit at the AppStore, I must admit I wasn’t a fan. Mostly because, I felt that all those fruits were moving too fast, and they always dropped before I could get to slice them. So, I thought I was pretty much done with this type of games. Until I came across Toad Slash.

Toad Slash is your regular slashing game, but it’s somehow easier to slash the toads in this game than the fruits in Fruit Ninja. I don’t know if they are bigger or just moving slower, but you can actually get the satisfaction of slicing those toads, frogs, tadpoles, fish and snakes. That is until the pumpkins start popping out on the screen. And that’s when the slashing frenzy begins.

Your main goal with Toad Slash is to slash as as many toads, or other similar creatures, as you can. The more toads [...]

Want a Remote Control Ball you can control from your iPhone or iPad ?

Introducing Sphero is the first robotic ball gaming device that you control with a tilt, touch, or swing from your smartphone or tablet.

If you have a keen eye and hand for drawing, you’ll have at least thought of turning your drawings into animations. What if the sweet can I designed could purr? What if my troll can smash that rock with its fists? Yeah, you have. I couldn’t draw to save my life, but the thought of animations surely crossed my mind. Sadly, an animator’s toolbox includes a bunch of tools not at everyone’s disposal. But with the help of Animation Desk, you can quickly turn your iPad into a full-featured animator’s work station and breath life into your creative drawings. The app is available in the AppStore for your iPad devices.

Animation Desk for iPad provides you with a drawing environment where your main focus is creating beautiful static images and then, with the help of the app, combining them into a kick-ass animation. The app features a multitude of tools that [...]
