Apple today announced one beast of an iPad Pro. It’s been completely redesigned to be lighter, thinner, and smaller, while having a larger screen. How is this possible? Easy. They shrunk down the bezels and removed the home button. It now has a smaller footprint and comes in an 11-inch and 12.9-inch size. Not only … Continue reading

Sometimes a game comes along that completely catches you by surprise, either with its unique gamepaly or its visual style. In the case of Plastiland by FreshGem and Zillion Whales, it was the visual style that completely blew me away. You see, Plastiland is completely made up of actual clay models, meaning everything from the … Continue reading
Apple’s ‘Spring Forward’ event is a wrap and those who watched it probably learned all they needed to know about the new Apple Watch. For me, I really just wanted to know how much they were going to cost and when they would be available. There will be three different versions of the Apple Watch, … Continue reading

I’m a big fan of the whole zombie thing, even though many think it’s been done to death already. Zombies or infected are a great way to add antagonists to a game without really offending anyone, except maybe the dead. Zombies and infected are one of the few enemy types that everyone can rally against. … Continue reading

Match 3 puzzle games are a dime a dozen on the App Store. There are so many of them that it’s sometimes hard to stand out from the crowd. Many of them play exactly the same as each other, but with different themes. MUJO is not like those games. In fact, MUJO takes the whole … Continue reading

I’m not usually a fan of apps that try to mimic natural media with your photos because usually, they just don’t do a very good job of it. Many of the apps just apply some rather crude filters that never look natural at all. For the most part, I’ve stayed away from those apps, that … Continue reading

Peggle is one of those games that just never gets old. The first time I played it was back when it first came out on Xbox Live and have since played it on other platforms including iOS, PSN, and on PC. Peggle if you don’t know is highly influenced by the game of pachinko, a … Continue reading
It can be said that there really aren’t that many console quality platform games on mobile devices, so when one does come around, you take notice. Flyhunter Origins for example is developed by Steelwool Games, a dev comprised of former Pixar veterans. With those credentials, this has to be a top notch console level game, … Continue reading
One of the very first video game puzzle games I ever played was Tetris back on the original NES. This was a game I spent hours on whenever I played it. Despite there being tons of Tetris clones that may have tried to improve on the formula, the original game is still one of my … Continue reading
There are plenty of time wasters on the App Store and while there are many good ones on there, there are also quite a few stinkers. I however am not going to talk about any of those today and instead, will talk about my newest addiction, Crossy Roads. Crossy Road, for better or worse, can … Continue reading

It’s up to you to help Commander Video escape and vanquish his foes. If you’ve played previous Bit.Trip games before, Bit.Trip Run! is … Continue reading
I’ve always been a fan of Toca Boca apps mainly because my children genuinely really enjoy playing them. My oldest son loved them when he was younger and my youngest daughter now enjoys playing them nightly. She has a whole collection of Toca apps on her iPad and I honestly think those are the ones … Continue reading
Every now and then, I want to play a game that requires very little thinking that I can just pick up and play. These games can be quite appealing as most require just simple gameplay mechanics and can be played in very short sessions while providing tons of challenge. For instance, I recently discovered a … Continue reading
If you have small kids, the one thing you hope for in a kids app is one that has zero ads or in-app purchases. This allows them to enjoy the game without interruption and also gives you peace of mind that they won’t be spending thousands on your account. With that said, Face It Workshop … Continue reading
Not sure how many of you might remember this, but cell phones in the past used to come with a simple game called Snake. It was a game where you would control this snake like thing that had to gobble up little pellets. Each pellet eaten caused your snake to grow longer. The challenge came … Continue reading
