Namco is currently having a “back-to-school” sale for its iPhone games and I took advantage of it to get some games that I’ve been eye-ing for some time. What did I get? Well I bought Ridge Racer Accelerated (USD 2.99, link), PAC-MAN (USD 0.99, link), and Galaga Remix (USD 0.99, link). Those are actually pretty [...]

I’m drowing in match-3 games on the iPhone; it seems that this particular genre of games has like the highest number of paid apps going on free promos on the App Store. I’m just guessing that they are too many of them competing for space and the only way to go is to go …FREE. [...]

Guess who is back? Every year we hear about him coming back to the PC, but at the same time he has been a no-show and is a multi-year recipient/nominee for Wired’s Vaporware award. If he were a enterprise software project, it would have been a total nightmare that even a I.T project manager like [...]

While intelligence quotient may be important, I’m pretty sure that some of the tests are actually frustrating little puzzle games. One of these examples would be to trace a route between a bunch of connected dots without having to reuse any path [...]

Apple announced plenty of interesting updates to its music players during today’s earlier event but the interesting piece of tech would be the new fourth generation iPod touch. Now with the A4 processor seen in the iPhone 4, along with dual cameras, Retina Display touchscreen, HD video recording and editing, Game Center, gyroscope + accelerometer, [...]

As a kid, I really liked playing hidden object games, the “technical term” for a game involving looking for a list of items within a picture. There was a particular children magazine that held a contest featuring such a game and silly young me bought multiple copies of the magazine (so that I can have [...]

While match-3 games are practically a dime a dozen on the iPhone, there’s something really satisfying about Berzerker Games’ Super Juicy for the iPhone/iPod touch. The game borrows elements from both Tetris and Bejeweled to create a somewhat yummy (it must be the sound effects) take on a genre that’s frankly been lacking in innovation [...]
