Teddy Tumble Takes iOS Spin in Washing Machine

Monday, September 19th, 2011

Don’t be fooled by the cute little fuzziness in Teddy Tumble for iPhone because you’ll soon realize that its cuteness is out shined by 90 levels of ultra fun addictive gameplay. With similar game theory as Angry Birds and Cut the Rope , this physics-based puzzler puts quite the twist on sliding, turning and bumping Teddy through the maze and to the clean clothesline. And it’s free for now to download with the option to unlock the full game for $.99. However, for those of you savvy thumb gamers looking for a bargain… simply “like” their Facebook page from within the app to unlock the entire game for free. But paying the small fee is nothing as this game is fun and addictive.

Contre Jour HD is Epic Mix of Art and Immersive Gameplay

Friday, September 16th, 2011

With an E3 debut earlier this year and a Game Critics Award nominee nod,  Contre Jour HD is an epic mix of art and immersive gameplay. This is one game that I’ve been waiting for all year and it’s way better than I could have imagined. And it definitely demands the larger screen of the iPad for the full experience. Of course, it’s a blast on the iPhone as well. Where you, as the player, will be mesmerized is in the synergy of the design and how well it is integrated into the actual gameplay. For instance, the use of contrasting light and dark shades of black, white and gray go so well together that you find yourself in awe of how visually appealing the game is. As great as the artfully designed game is, where it gets even better is the actual gameplay where you can morph the landscape to propel the game’s mysterious creature Petit to safety. It’s like an interactive art exhibit you would expect at a well-known French Gallery.

Look Out for Shadowgun on the 28th September!

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

The last iOS title to cause such a stir due to its graphics was Infinity Blade, the beautiful-to-look-at but ever-so slightly repetitive to play slash-em-up from Epic Games.  Believe it or not, that game hit the virtual shelves in late 2010, so a successor is well overdue. Step forward Shadowgun, Madfinger Games third-person action game built

Some say gluten free is a fad, but those with celiac disease and wheat allergy or intolerance will tell you different. If you or someone you know follows a gluten-free diet then you certainly know the biggest challenge is in eating out. Searching through health related gluten free apps for iPhone, there are several apps that are designed to provide some clarification for gluten-free dining. Checking out the free apps for this purpose, Gluten Free Fast Food comes out ahead of most freebies, but none of the free gluten-free apps can really stack up against the information contained in the myriad of paid gluten-free guides.

Cor.kz Wine Info App is an Essential Wine Guide

Friday, September 9th, 2011

For some reason it took my palette quite a long time to appreciate wine. A friend suggested I start with the sweeter whites and work my way up. I never looked back and soon discovered that my favorite is Pinot Noir. And even though I enjoy wine, I don’t know much about them and when trying to select a decent one at the local grocery store or wine shop I’m at a loss. Luckily, the good folks from Applied Ambiguities have launched their Cor.kz Wine Info app. It truly is like having a sommelier in your pocket. No, thats not some sort of Dr. Suess cousin to the Wocket. It’s like a wine butler who offers wine novices and enthusiasts the ultimate guide to all-things wine.

Dedicated Google+ Photo Importer App Will Save Shutterbugs Plenty of Time

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Google+ has clearly become the primary social network for many of its users, and chances are they’ve migrated across from other similar sites, which presents a problem if they want to upload all their existing pictures to their Google+ profile.  Of course, there’s the good old-fashioned way of doing so individually, but depending on the

The Big Little Quest iPhone App Review – Keep on Walking

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Long time readers and fans of isometric 3D puzzle games may recall Alone, which we reviewed way back in March 2010.  The Big Little Quest is ITL’s follow-up and another isometric game, but this time with a style of play which concentrates more on exploration than on puzzles. The plot follows a young man named Axel,
