Every once in a while a product comes along that, from all appearances, seems altogether poorly conceived and ill-designed, but later proves to be otherwise in my tests – leaving me pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately the TwitterPeek does not fall into this camp. Sometimes you really can judge a book by its cover, and this one is badly torn and missing a few chapters. At first blush the...
Let’s face it, there are a lot of games in the App Store. Sometimes it’s a hard to find one that takes advantage of the iPhone’s multitouch capabilities in a way that is unlike anything you’ve played.

When I first learned about Risen I had hopes it might prove to be a stellar role playing game that could match the outstanding gameplay and immersive world of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. When the game was finally released I ran out to snatch up a copy for myself. My hopes were dashed shortly after playing through the first level.

Nothing gets my blood pumping quite like a fast-paced shooter. Especially when set against almost space-western like theme. I think it goes back to my fondness for the short-lived TV series Firefly. Ah, memories. Borderlands takes you to that same level of gritty alien realms and bad dudes with laser pistols in place of Smith&Wesson. The game is set on an alien word known as...
