Galaxy Express

In a landscape as vast as the App Store, it is fairly easy to get lost trying to find a good puzzle game. This is not because of some sort of shortage of mind-twisting goodness. On the contrary; the problem is choosing from the near-overwhelming number of puzzle apps. In my opinion, Arctic Empire’s Galaxy Express stands just slightly above its peers, making it a good use of your personal processing cycles.

Worth iTrying – iOS Titles You Might Like

Zorro looks a bit like Ezio in this picture.

Up for perusal today are two iOS titles that are quite different from one another with the exception of one word: “awesome” (well, I suppose “adventure” would also be another common word).

The Day the Music Stopped

The youngest member of our staff enjoys a good game of Angry Birds from time to time, as do some of her friends. It blows me away that kids are so savvy to the religion of nerdery (read: technology). Despite this affinity to the Borg, I am a firm believer that they should engage in tactile learning (books are a great example). That being said, I am no iNazi; once in a while an app comes along that’s perfect for kids and strikes that perfect balance between entertainment and learning. The Day the Music Stopped is one such app.

Filth Fair
