Games you should be playing: Flood-It!
I just downloaded Flood-It! for the iPhone, and you should too. Why? Because it’s a pretty sweet puzzle game, AND it’s free. Flood-It! is a unique strategy game (at least to me, although I suppose everything is based off something these days). Flood-It!’s developers describe the gameplay thusly: “Flood It! is a simple yet addictive strategy game in which... Read More
This looks all kinds of stolen
I was somewhat surprised to see that Nintendo had released its first iPhone game today, the cult classic Donkey Kong, and even more surprised to see it only cost 99¢. Of course, a quick click revealed the game is not from Nintendo at all, but from a French developer called VeryGames. The first thing to tip me off was the splash screen image on iTunes. I don’t know which... Read More

Won’t somebody think of the Children?! 32 Excellent iPhone Games for Kids
While it may sicken many of us, the fact is that many young children (we’re talking as young as 3 and 4-year olds) have iPod touches and iPhones – MY kids included. And as disappointed as I am in myself as a parent for giving them such an expensive gift, I’ve actually found that my 4 and 6-year olds both take excellent care of their iPods and (so far) treat...

Fieldrunners v1.2 released… And there was much rejoicing
Atomic Studios has just released Fieldrunners v1.2 with a slew of goodies sure to keep me too busy to update Macenstein for the next couple days.

50 iPhone Apps with Icons That Don’t Suck
They say “you can’t judge a book by its cover”, but they also say “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”. I’m not a big fan of cliched sayings, but for applications trying desperately to gain attention on the bloated, unorganized mess that IS the iTunes app store, having a well designed icon could help make the difference...

Win 1 of 4 free copies of “The Creeps!” for the iPhone/iPod touch
Last month we profiled the adorably spooky tower defense game The Creeps! ($1.99) as an iPhone game you should be playing, and while we assume you all immediately rushed out an purchased the game on our recommendation, odds are at least 4 of you meant to, but then forgot. Well, luckily for you, The Creeps! got a major (free) update last night, and to celebrate, Super Squawk Software... Read More
3 cheers for iJiggles, the iBoobs workaround!
You may remember our report on iBoobs, the iPhone breast simulator that was tragically shot down by Apple for inclusion on the iTunes store – in fact, many of you marked it on your calendars as an official day of mourning.
