App Review: iQuarium for iPhone by Infinite Dreams Inc.
iQuarium is one of those apps that keeps you coming back for more not because it’s an addicting game, but because you want to know the next tank gadget that you’ve earned (oh, and you have to keep feeding your fish). That’s right, iQuarium is a fun and addicting pocket pet if you will, requiring that you feed him (or her, depending on how you named… [Read more]
App Review: BioSub by Origin8
I have long been a fan of the Sentinel games by Origin8. These tower defense games are some of my favorites. In creating BioSub, Origin8 explores a very different type of game. BioSub combines physics and problem solving into one very challenging and unique game. You are a mini sub and your goal is to destroy the canisters in the water around… [Read more]
App Review: Bear on a Wire by Dreamsocket, Inc.
Bear on a Wire is a very entertaining app featuring a bear riding a bike on telephone wires. The picture of that huge bear on a bike is quite comical and is enough to bring a smile to your face. The object of the game is to complete each course in the time allotted. There is not much time to spare, so you will have to move quickly. Just getting… [Read more]
App Review: MonsterKill by Origin8
With Halloween approaching at the end of October, we are bound to see more apps with ghouls, ghosts, and mummies. MonsterKill, the newest game by Origin8, is a great new app in this genre. MonsterKill is not a traditional tower defense game like the earlier Sentinel games also by Origin8, but it does borrow some elements from them. Your job is… [Read more]

App Review: Aqua Globs by Qwiboo
Aqua Globs is a fun game that challenges your ability to keep an eye on a thousand things at once. The game consists of orange, blue and green globs that float around the screen. Your job is to combine same colored globs to make them disappear, while keeping the orange and blue globs from running into each other. Orange and glue globs do not like… [Read more]
App Review: Blots by Tau Games
Blots is a simple game that can be a great time killer. The goal of the game is to remove groups of three or more blots of the same color from the board. There is a palette at the bottom of the screen that shows the next three blots that you have to place on the board. Simply tap a square on the board to place the blot. If placing a blot on… [Read more]
App Review: Polyhedra by Binary Hammer
When I downloaded Polyhedra, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I was surprised to find a such a simple shape game to be unique and enjoyable to play. The object of the game is to fill more than 66% of the screen with shapes. Sounds easy. There are several features that add to the challenge and complexity of the game.
First, there are a… [Read more]
App Review: Ricky by Nabil Chatbi
Super Mario Brothers was an amazing hit when it was released for Nintendo. The characters have since been used in several other games and are still very popular with kids today. Ricky by Nabil Chatbi has certainly borrowed much of its design from the Mario Brothers, although in my opinion pales by comparison.
The game starts by introducing you… [Read more]
App Review: Puzzlings by Sonic BOOM, Inc.
Puzzlings is an intriguing game that combines fashion and creativity with puzzles. The app takes you to a world called Wardrobia. In Wardrobia, everything is the same. The world is covered in clouds and everything is gray. The Puzzlings who live in Wardrobia don’t see much point in getting dressed or leaving the house, so they sit around all… [Read more]
