Meet Klaus, your drunken iPhone buddy
No, he’s not a homosexual fitness instructor (not that there’s anything wrong with that), he’s Klaus (free), your drunken iPhone buddy. The object of the game is to keep Klaus upright as long as you can as he drunkenly tries to walk home. The game reminds me a little of a “Rated 12+” version of Papi Pole. I’m not sure this game has any real long... Read More

Yes Virgina, the “Adventure magic dot” DOES exist on the iPhone
I had wondered aloud whether the iPhone port of the Atari 2600 game Adventure contained the legendary invisible “Magic Dot” that, when discovered and brought to the appropriate secret location, would reveal a screen with the game’s creators on it. This was the first hidden “cheat” I ever encountered (heard from a friend of a friend of my older brother... Read More
OMFG “Adventure” comes to the iPhone! And it’s FREE!
Yes kids, there was a time when video games looked this bad, and they were played on a little thing called the Atari 2600.

Having played (and won) 3 games of Adrenaline Pool Lite for the iPhone, I got cocky and decided that anonymously beating other anonymous players was a waste of time. I wanted my victims to know they had been smited by the mighty Dr. Macenstein! Yes, somehow I lost this game too… So I plunked down the $4.99 for the full version, Adrenaline Pool Online where you can make... Read More
Attention Parents: FlashMath is free – go get it

Of course, as a parent once you see the vacant vegetative stares the kids get while playing the games, you begin to feel... Read More
“World of Goo” for Mac released and you need to buy it
Having more or less fully committed to the iPhone, it’s rare that a game comes out for the Mac these days that catches my interest, and it’s even rarer that it plays well on my Macbook, but World of Goo does both. World of Goo is an incredibly creative puzzle-solving game that’s already familiar to PC gamers and Wii owners, but now we Mac users can get in on the... Read More
