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 ...

BreakClassic by bootant.com is a nifty little game that was free a few days ago but is now $.99. It was a super success as a free app, so I guess the developers are trying to cash in.
Even so, this is a simple yet fun diversion. It works much like pong, except you have to hit cubes with the ball ...

As you can probably tell, I've been going on a free app downloading frenzy lately. And for the most part, I've been happy with the results. After all, I can't expect too much from a free app, now can I? But Jawbreaker is a bit disappointing, even for a free game.
Okay, so there's nothing wrong with the game per say. ...

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 ...

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.

Dizzy Bee is fun little game on the App Store that lets you take great advantage of the iPhone's accelerometer. It costs $2.99, but if you're not up for spending the cash, there's a free version called DizzyBeeFree that will give you a taste of what the game has to offer.

Free stuff makes me happy and Crazy Mouth Lite might just be the funniest most useless app on the App Store right now. I know that's a bold statement, especially coming from a lover of useless things, but I mean it.

I always enjoyed solving mazes as a kid, so I thought that iMaze might be enjoyable on the iPhone. It's a simple concept, just hold your iPhone flat and tilt it to move the ball through the maze. Unfortunately it's not nearly as fun as it sounds.

I'll admit that I used to play D&D back in the day, and thus I still have a bag of many different dice sitting in my closet somewhere. Almost everything you do in the game revolves around the rolling of one or more dice. With all of the modern marvels of today, we need not mess with an entire bag ...

One thing I really like about Sudoku is how it manages to work my brain while still being fun. So when I came across Sudoku Unlimited, I had to give it a try. What's $2.99, right?
I think what I like best about Sudoku Unlimited is how simple it is. Not the game, mind you. Sudoku can be very difficult. ...

Apache Lander is a game with a very basic concept. You control a helicopter that needs to land safely on the pad below. Your controls are based on the accelerometer, with left and right moving your chopper side to side and tilting forward or backward changes your altitude. So how well does this simple game play? Not so great.

There's nothing I love more than a useless app. And today, I'm bringing you two that I've stumbled upon that I think are worth mentioning.
First up is the Wooo Button. Talk about useless! This little free app works by providing you with a button called "Wooo!" When said button is pressed, it elicits an exuberant sound that, while can ...
