We’re all busy people and we lead busy lives, and sometimes after a long day at work, you just want something simple and classic to help you unwind. In the world of iPhone gaming, low-stress and familiar can be just as important as fancy and innovative,... 

Some people are natural packers. I call it Tetris syndrome, and my boyfriend has it in spades. Whenever he loads the dishwasher or arranges the freezer, everything has to be fitted just so for maximum capacity, although it’s not necessarily the... 

Originally released for the PC in 2008, Call of Atlantis is an exceptionally polished and professional match-3 port. I’m not generally impressed by match-3 games, but it’s rare to find such an attractive match-3 title with any sort of depth... 

Lockout is a game app. by Parilon Ltd. that is a hybrid crossword/trivia/word game where you get hints and have to arrange letters on six separate wheels to make words. The farther along you get in the game, the more clues/words there are in each level,... 

When I was a kid, I used to love playing matching games, and I’ve always prided myself on having a good memory, but Edwin van der Bogert’s Cubes Memory makes my brain ache. This is not the memory game I grew up with, and whoever inflicts this... 

New word game? Yes, please! Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Scrabble (aka Lexulous aka Words With Friends aka whatever other clones I’ve forgotten), but sometimes a girl just needs a little change. Not a big one, mind you, just enough to... 

Little squishy Flubber-like aliens! If that doesn’t endear you to EcoSoft’s game app, Spaliens, I don’t know what will. Probably not the fact that it’s another match-three game, which you can find every which way you turn in the... 

When I was a kid, jigsaw puzzles were a big family bonding activity, but these days, I tend to prefer puzzles with a little more abstract thinking, or ones I can use to drive my colorblind boyfriend batty. That’s where games like Chromixa come in....

In light of recent events, Caou’s game app, Kovoclak, seems massively appropriate to review. Kovoclak was a (presumably mild-mannered) businessman who was dealt with a harsh blow when the pollution from irresponsible companies mutated him into a... 

Where there are simple games involved, there are “match-three” games–you can’t miss ‘em. In this case, it is Viacheslav Iushchenko’s game app, Zepi, the originator of a long string of spin-offs for nearly every occasion... 

Story time! So, last year, I went on a family vacation in Cape Cod, where we ended up staying in a rented house that was designed entirely around hexagons. The rooms were hexagons, the windows were hexagons, even the trash cans were hexagon-shaped. It... 

Puzzle games generally come in two different types. The first is the all-consuming singular addiction, like Doodle Jump or Bejeweled; get addicted to Bejeweled and you need nothing else than the rush of chasing your next high score. The second kind involves... 

Oh, hidden object games, why must you be so divisive? I’m a huge fan of hidden object games, but my boyfriend usually can’t stand them, and more frequently, people just have no idea what they are unless I mention something like Where’s... 

When I first downloaded this app, my boyfriend started complaining about game designers and their consistent neglect of the millions of colorblind individuals. “No, it’s ColorBIND.” “Huh?” “Not “blind”. Bind. B-I-N-D.” “Oh…how’s...
