Flight Control - There is no greater joy than playing a simple game that knows and relishes the fact that it’s a simple game.
H.E.X. is in the Mix If You Like Match-Up Games
p13development's H.E.X. is 60 percent off at the moment (which makes it $0.99) and that's a smart move on the part of the developer. H.E.X. is a match-up game and the shelves in the App Store are packed with the genre. As I've noted before, it's really hard to break out of the same old thing.

iYacht Yahtzee Dice Game
I already know how to play Yahtzee, so I didn't think I would need any time to figure out how to play Scott Voyek's iYacht, a Yahtzee dice game. I should have started by reading the FAQ, as Scott suggests when I first launch the iYacht.

Mafia Games Round Up: Who is the iPhone Don?
Due to popular demand, we’re devoting a feature here that gives you the skinny on many of the Mafia games that have infiltrated the App Store. The jump in popularity for this emerging style of game can largely be traced to its MySpace/Facebook beginnings with Mob Wars leading the way.
Dapple Mixes Up the Match-Three Genre
If you've played Aurora Feint, Bejeweled or other games where you line up three or four similar objects to eliminate them, then you already have a good idea of what Streaming Colour Studios' Dapple is about. Dapple comes with a twist though.
Parking Lot! Steps Up the Puzzle Game with a Jam-Packed Challenge
Sometimes there’s an app that goes the extra mile and does a little bit better than the competition. Parking Lot is a puzzle game where you must safely navigate a yellow Beetle out of a maze of jammed packed cars.
Easter Words is a Feel-Good Family Game
Easter Words is a family-friendly holiday game for the iPhone. Like its cousin, Hangman, the user guesses a word one letter at a time. Unlike Hangman, there are no negative consequences for picking the wrong letters. A blank egg and the alphabet greet the user at the start of the game.
