Glee Review
+ Universal App: Designed for iPhone and iPad
May 12th, 2010 by Ryan Wood
Our rating: ★★★★☆ :: SING ALONG

Glee takes an impressive step forward for music games on the iDevice by creating a network of singers who can sing along and establish credibility with one another. Three pre-loaded songs and a plethora of pay-per-song addons create an impressive offering for not a lot of investment.

TWiTPad Review
iPad Only App – Designed for the iPad

By Chris Kirby :: Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: LEO’S LIVE!
It’s Leo Laporte – on demand and available 24/7 on your iPad with TWiTPad, the officially-endorsed iPad app of the TWiT network.

Quaso Review
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Bonnie Eisenman :: Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: GREAT GAMES, DECENT APP
Quaso combines magic squares and crossword puzzles to produce a new, challenging puzzle. The app itself is very simple and I’d like a few more features, but the puzzles themselves are good.

Super 7 Review
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Chris Hall :: Our Rating: ★★★★½ :: CAN’T STOP
Super 7 might be the most addictive app experience since Orbital. Who knew that blending 7’s together would be so challenging?

By Jeff Scott :: Our Rating:
How well does the iPad survive as the sole technology device for an international trip? Let’s find out.

Bento for iPad Review
iPad Only App – Designed for the iPad

By Chris Kirby :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: A BETTER BOX
Like its namesake, FileMaker’s Bento for iPad attempts to fill in all of the information manager holes in Apple’s iPhone OS. Can one app really handle that many tasks effectively?

Wiki Hunt Review
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Bonnie Eisenman :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: UNIQUE AND FUN
Wiki Hunt takes “the Wikipedia game” and sends you crawling through the amazing web of Wikipedia.

Ever Defense Deluxe Review
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Chris Hall :: Our Rating: ★★½☆☆ :: PASS
Orient Maple had a great idea when they decided to blend tower defense with RTS, but the resulting game is a mess.

iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Jason Fanguy :: Our Rating: ★★★★½ :: REMARKABLE RECORDING
Camera Plus Pro is an all-in-one camera/photography app for your iPhone that virtuously caters to all your photography and video recording needs. Packed with features and options, it works as advertised and is well worth its asking price.

Iron Man 2 for iPad Review
iPad Only App – Designed for the iPad

By Chris Kirby :: Our Rating: ★★½☆☆
Looking forward to Iron Man 2? Me too, but don’t look to this game to satiate your cravings for old Shellhead. It’s just more of the same here, folks.

Warpgate HD In-Depth Review
iPad Only App – Designed for the iPad

By Chris Kirby :: Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: ENGAGE!
Warpgate has made the jump to the iPad with Warpgate HD, but is it worth your time and money? It’s the closest thing you’ll get to Star Trek on the iPad without the official license.

Stickman Rocks Review
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Jason Fanguy :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: CHALLENGING CLIMBER
Stickman Rocks is a fun, cute and charming casual game which contains just the right amount of elemental game play to make players keep coming back for more. At only $0.99, it’s a value for both adults and kids.

fbook Photos Review
iPad Only App – Designed for the iPad

By Tony Kicks :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: Worth it
Browse and download Facebook photos without the added distractions.

Sword & Poker 2 In-Depth Review
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Bonnie Eisenman :: Our Rating: ★★★★½ :: MUST-HAVE
Sword & Poker 2 combines the best elements of RPGs and poker. Like a Pokemon sequel, it doesn’t reinvent the game that came before it; instead, the small additions serve to make an excellent game even better.

Harmonious Review
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Bonnie Eisenman :: Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: FUN NOVELTY
Harmonious is a nifty smart-sketch app. It can produce some neat results, but its unpredictability and mediocre interface confine it to novelty status.

My Jobs Pro
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Bonnie Eisenman :: Our Rating: ★★★☆☆ :: MEDIOCRE
My Jobs Pro is good in theory, but I don’t know how useful it will be in practice.

EW’s The Must List Review
iPad Only App – Designed for the iPad

By Chris Kirby :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: A MUST DOWNLOAD!
The iPad may or may not turn out to be the ultimate magazine consumption device, but rather than give us an entire magazine to pore over, Entertainment Weekly created an app that recontextualizes their Must List magazine feature – and does so spectacularly!

Pig Rush Review
iPhone App – Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

By Jason Fanguy :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: MMMMMMMM….BACON
Pig Rush is a fun, simple casual endurance platformer. It’s colorful graphics and peppy sound track easily provide for an immersive game play experience. It’s these elements, combined with the simplicity and responsiveness/accuracy of the control scheme, that make this game a wiener.

Handwriting Calculator Review

By Jason Fanguy :: Our Rating: ★★★★½ :: X = EXCELLENT MATHEMATICAL RESOURCE
Handwriting Calculator is a unique application which allows its users to solve complex mathematical formulas, using their handwriting as input, instead of pressing buttons. Its interface is intuitive and easy to use and, as long as your handwriting is decent, it will perform exactly as advertised.

Luna Story Review

By Ryan Wood :: Our Rating: ★★½☆☆ :: GREAT POTENTIAL
Luna Story suffers from a poor control scheme and overly fast FPS speeds. With a few adjustments, however, Luna Story has the potential to be work a try.

Camera Genius Review

By Jason Fanguy :: Our Rating: ★★★★½ :: PICTURE PERFECT
Camera Genius takes the iPhone’s native camera and it’s meager native functions and integrates them into one application that caters to all your photo needs. It provides users with a perfect set of features/options and performs remarkably, well worth its $1.99 asking price.

Vertigo Rogue Review

By Ryan Wood :: Our Rating: ★★☆☆☆ :: CONTROL FAIL
Vertigo Rogue’s game play suffers serious setbacks from a flawed control structure. With a little adjustment, however, this game provides a solid storyline and some great game play. Look for this title to make a big showing if the developer puts a little time in.

TapDo Review

By Ryan Wood :: Our Rating: ★★½☆☆ :: TASK MANAGER
TapDo does quite a bit right, but it still lacks an easy way to customize and some much needed feature additions. With some love, TapDo can be great.

The Impossible Game

By Bonnie Eisenman :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: FANTASTICALLY FRUSTRATING
The aptly-named Impossible Game is a high-tempo, simple game that will thrill and frustrate you…until you beat it, anyway.

Icebird Review

By Perrin Stewart :: Our Rating: ★★★★½ :: SEXY TWITTER CLIENT
Thought you’d seen all the Twitter clients on the iTunes Store? Think again. Take Icebird for a spin and you might be resigning your current Twitter client to the trash bin.

Blocktagon Review

By Ryan Wood :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: PUZZLE SUCCESS
Blocktagon provides a lot of game for your buck, 100 levels worth of game to be exact. If you’re a fan of puzzle games, Blocktagon is right up your alley.

Great Career Review

By Ryan Wood :: Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: CAREER ADVICE
Great Career is a good start for anyone looking for their next big career move. It’s not an all in one app, but the services it provides are ideal for those unsure of their next path in life.

Earth is Gone Review

By Ryan Wood :: Our Rating: ★★★☆☆ :: STANDARD SHOOTER
Earth is Gone follows along the well established path of galaxy dual shooters. It doesn’t re-invent anything, but it certainly provides an adequate level of enjoyment. If high score achievement is your thing, Earth is Gone is for you!

Stranded: Mysteries of Time Review

By Ryan Wood :: Our Rating: ★★½☆☆ :: NEEDS WORK
Stranded suffers from major control issues, but has the potential to be a must play for fans of this style of gaming. With a little work, this game will find its way to a lot of iDevices.

G700 In-Depth Review

By Jason Fanguy :: Our Rating: ★★★★½ :: FIRST-CLASS PHOTOGRAPHY
G700 – 1st Soft Camera is a quality, remarkable application which combines those features found in standard digital cameras and incorporates the iPhone’s GPS capabilities, adding location-based features, turning your iPhone into an advanced digital camera possessing many advanced features standard digital cameras are not capable of providing.

Zombie Smash Review

By Chris Hall :: Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: MMM… BRAINS
Zombie Smash is a fantastic foray into flick castle defense, but it probably won’t interest many who don’t like the genre.

OLDER ENTRIES

Astro Ranch
★★★★☆ :: FARMING FUN

March 14th, 2010 by Ryan Wood
Astro Ranch follows along the same game play style that many of us have grown to love. The inclusion of a different planet, and unique mini-games, make this a fresh and exciting experience. If you’re into farming games, pick this title up.

Radio Flare Redux
★★★★½ :: SENSORY SMORGASBORD

March 14th, 2010 by Jason Fanguy
Radio Flare Redux is a colorful, addictive, side-scrolling space shooter experience whose immersive game play, driven by the pulsating rhythm and beat of its quality sound tracks, will completely engage you audibly and visually, throwing your visual-auditory system in “sensory overload.”

★★★★½ :: PREGNANCY TRACKER EXTRAORDINAIRE

March 14th, 2010 by Ryan Wood

uP@ssw0rdz!: The Ultimate Password Generator
★★★★☆ :: GOOD APP

March 14th, 2010 by Ryan Wood
This password generating and storing app packs a lot of punch. Make sure this is something you find use in before buying though.

50 iN 1: APPZILLA!
★★★★½ :: APTLY NAMED

March 14th, 2010 by Jason Fanguy
50 In 1: APPZILLA is a multi-purpose utility-housing app containing a whopping 51 well-developed, quality utilities equal to, if not better than, their separate counterparts. Its crisp sound effects and visually-appealing, clean, fluid, user-friendly interface/ animations/icons allow it to “out-shine” its competition and stand out as the current front-runner in a growing genre.

Spirit
★★★★☆ :: GREAT!

March 12th, 2010 by Arron Hirst
Spirit is a modern tower defense title with an arcade twist. Sporting visuals similar to GeoDefense, you guide a vector-shaped spirit around a gridded playing field while aiming to avoid capture.

Hills and Rivers Remain
★★★½☆ :: HARDCORE RTS

March 12th, 2010 by Bonnie Eisenman
Hills and Rivers Remain is a strangely named real-time strategy game with a high price tag and relative brevity. Despite this, it delivers a solid RTS experience that should provide hardcore genre fans with a much-appreciated challenge.

iDid: Optimize my time
★★★½☆ :: PRODUCTIVITY NICHE

March 11th, 2010 by Ryan Wood
iDid: Optimize my time is an excellent productivity app, if you can find use for it. It seems to be extremely niche, though well done.

X Invasion 2
★★★½☆ :: OKAY

March 11th, 2010 by Arron Hirst
While probably not as graphically exciting as perhaps some other flight simulators like F.A.S.T, X Invasion 2 is a respectable punt at providing the simulated flying experience you might be looking for.

Pocket Labeler
★★★★☆ :: LABEL EVERYTHING

March 11th, 2010 by Chris Hall
While Pocket Labeler doesn’t do a whole lot, what it does it does quite well. If you feel the urge to label things, you definitely need this app.

How To Train Your Dragon: Flight of the Night Fury
★★★½☆ :: DRAGON TIME

March 11th, 2010 by Ben Terrett
