DrawRace has been one of those App Store additions which really stands out in its genre, racing simulation, in this case.

Thief is an app about stealing valuable objects. No, it doesn’t actually promote stealing. That would be irresponsible. This app is more about fun with number combinations. See- That’s a little better. It’s not walking anyone through the motions of how to pull off an Ocean’s 11 perfect heist. It’s just applied math. Just like [...]

Fix-it-up 80s: Meet Kate’s Parents HD (Free) by G5 Entertainment is a car-themed time management game.

Remember when vowels were really indispensable- I raise the question now because these days it’s not unusual to encounter such words as Tumblr and Trakr, words that get rid of helpless vowels with total abandon.

I’ve been holding my tongue on the issue of the in-app purchase (IAP) for ages, waiting for some particularly fine time to address the controversy.

Tons of apps have already been updated for the iPad’s Retina Display.
