Electronic Arts announced they would be bringing SimCity to the iPad back in October, however its tentative November release date has slipped until sometime during this month instead.  The iPhone version has been around for a long time, and although improved with SimCity Deluxe, the small screen never did the game any favors. SimCity Deluxe for

It has been quite a day for Google, with the unveiling of their latest Android firmware, a second Nexus phone and now, Google eBooks!  An eBook store run by the search giant has been on the cards for a while, and its official launch will likely see some concerned faces at Amazon, B&N and Apple

Since the news that Apple’s white iPhone 4 wouldn’t become available until spring 2011, we’ve been expecting it to be quietly canceled sometime before that date, and although it still theoretically could be – point of sale signage like the piece pictured here makes it much less likely. The very last thing we heard about the

The opportunity to review FlightTrack Pro and its sister application, FlightBoard, came just at the right time, as under normal circumstances this review would be based around a fake scenario created for the purposes of evaluation.  However, it just so happened that my wife was heading off on business and the journey would involve several

For young children with an interest in animals, or those just learning about wildlife, Animals 360 is a free app featuring animal pictures, sounds, and habitats. Designed to provide an interactive way for children to learn animal names and sounds, Animals 360 is a pretty kid-friendly app and includes a few fun extras you might not expect for free. The app includes four modes – Tour, Photos, Quiz, and Puzzle. The tour is habitat based and features farm, safari, and forest. Panning left and right, images of various animals native to the selected habitat are displayed and their animal sound can be heard by tapping on the pictures. The photo mode contains photos of additional animals ranging from bear and bison to woodpecker and zebra. Each animal has three images, viewable by swiping up or down.

Stick Stunt Biker for the iPhone is a combination two very successful game genres: the stick-figure ragdoll physics game, and the side-scroller dirt bike stunt game. It’s a great example of both of these, so it’s no wonder Stick Stunt Biker is consistently in the best-selling games section of the App Store. Like other ragdoll physics games that came before it, Stick Stunt Biker has a minimal appearance.

It’s like countless doodles bored students might have rendered before games like this came along to save them from their dreaded math classes. The real charm comes not from the objects that populate the game, but from the realistic physics engine behind the scenes. The movement of the dirt bike as it leaps over hills is quite convincing. The best visuals happen when the player loses: if the bike doesn’t land correctly after a jump or wheelie, the stick figure will be thrown across the screen, tiny limbs flailing in all directions.
