Quickie Review: Paper Football Lite

by Brenda Stokes on August 7, 2008

Remember back in school when you'd fold up a piece of paper to look like a football and then take turns "kicking" it with a flick of your fingers between poised hand goal posts? Yeah, it was a fun way to pass the time (and annoy the teachers) but now Jirbo has brought the classic pastime to the iPhone.  There is a paid version of this app as well. It's aptly ... continued »

Frogger hops onto your iPhone

by Chris Scott Barr on August 7, 2008

When I was a kid we had a computer lab full of old Apple II computers, which we would use maybe twice a year to play games on. We had several games to choose from, but I really only remember two that I would play; Oregon Trail and Frogger. Unless you are very young, I would be willing to bet that you've encountered these games at some point in your ... continued »

Quickie Review: Magic8Ball

by Chris Scott Barr on August 7, 2008

The Magic 8-Ball is one of those simple toys that will probably never die. After all, it was created back in 1946. We just seem to have a fascination with leaving decisions up to a D20 encased in a water-filled 8-ball (and you thought only D&D geeks used D20s). Oddly enough, 10 of the answers are affirmative, only 5 are negative, and 5 responses merely tell you to ask again. ... continued »

It works much like pong, except you have to hit cubes with the ball and then make sure you hit the ball again with ... continued »

Quickie Review: Hangman

by Chris Scott Barr on August 6, 2008

I can bet that almost everyone has played the game hangman at some point in their life. It's a simple game, someone picks a word and draws a series of lines that corresponds to the number of letters in the word. As you guess letters, each wrong guess gets a body part drawn on a stick figure until either youv'e guessed the right word, or you run out of parts. ... continued »

Quickie Review: Subway Shuffle Lite

by Chris Scott Barr on August 6, 2008

It's true that there are a lot of games for the iPhone that are simply re-hashes of old games. There's nothing wrong with that, since many of the classic games are fun to play. But it's nice when something original comes along like Subway Shuffle. continued »
