Hopeless Romantic
The Bride of Macenstein is no stranger to romance. Early on, while dating, I got her a .357 Magnum handgun for her birthday. I figured with a present like that, she could get herself all the jewelry she wanted. Well, flash forward some 15 or so years to Mother’s Day 2010, and the romance is as alive as ever. Behold my Mother’s Day gift to the Bride of Macenstein! That’s... Read More
OK, that’s just eerie…
I suppose with the amount of Words with Friends I’ve been playing odds are I would eventually find words spelled out for me in my tile rack, but as a Mac geek, I thought this was pretty bizarre. And yes, this was one of the few games I actually won. Read More
Have you humiliated me in “Words with Friends: yet? If so, tell the world!

When new technology comes out, cynics often claim that the early adopters pay the price not only in actual dollars, but by serving as guinea pigs for ironing out buggy 1st gen software and missing out on the cool 2nd generation hardware. But when I brought home my new iPad to the loving arms of the Bride of Macenstein, she had an experience that no 2nd gen iPad owner is likely... Read More
Must…resist…
Oh, who am I kidding? I need these Plants Vs Zombies plush toys more than air. But still slightly less than chocolate.

Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Jeremya for the... Read More
iPad game pricing is gonna suck
Macrumors managed to get a peek at the iPad app store main page and was able to snag the following pic showing some of the upcoming prices on the new iPad-specific “HD” games. Now, admittedly I have not played any of these games, but from the screen shots I’ve seen I have not seen a whole worth paying 5 times (or more) for any of the games I already play on the...

ATTENTION BARGAIN HUNTERS! Save $440 off this fart app! ACT NOW!
Despite being a “day one” iPhone owner, I somehow was able to resist buying any of the farting apps, even though in the beginning, that’s all there was. Well, OK, there was Super Monkey Ball, a couple virtual lighter apps, and then the fart apps.

Dictator Defense: The Most Addictive Defense Game since Fieldrunners
As a reviewer, one of the best indications that you should write about a game is that you do not want to stop playing the game long enough to write about it. Dictator Defense ($2.99 iTunes) by Digital Chocolate is just such a game for me, and it basically ate my entire weekend. Meet the dictators Digital Chocolate is one of my favorite, if not consistent, iPhone game developers.... Read More
