Games for iPhone and iPad

Productivity is dandy, but the real reason we love iPhone apps is the selection of games. Whether you prefer to stick to the classics — Snake has been revived for the iPhone, along with versions of PacMan and Tetris — or want to try something completely new like Crash Bandicoot or Chimps Ahoy, we have hundreds of entertaining ways to lose track of time. There are even multiplayer games for iPhone and iPod Touch — we suggest Fingertips Sports Air Hockey or 300Bowl.

Mini Golf Ace – Once in a while, an app comes to my attention that no matter how many times I use it, play it, or share it, I am undecided about it for quite some time. Mini Golf Ace is one of those apps. In fact, everything I feel about it is contradictory — [...]

iSprout: You Sexy Bees!

iSprout – Most of the time, when I download a game for my iPhone, I’m hoping it will be two things: First, I want it to be fun to play (duh!). Second, I want it to be pretty (or at least aesthetically pleasing), because I’m a total girl and I care about that kind of [...]
