With Perseverance, Nintaii is Rewarding

“Nintai” is Japanese for patience, perseverance and persistence. Add an “i” to the end, and you have Nintaii, a puzzle game for your iPhone that requires these three qualities.

Chippy Feels Like an Old-School Game

Chippy feels old-school, though I am not convinced it is in a good way. Chippy has a rather slow and unsophisticated feel, kind of like playing the original Mario. [...]

Bar Bingo Was Its Name-O

When I was a kid, I used to play bingo at the church hall with my mom. Bar Bingo is slightly more irreverent, and a heck of a lot more fun. Before I even started playing Bar Bingo by EXTENDInteractive with my friends, looking at the game board made me laugh out loud. Just like [...]
