    Wipeout Review

    By

    Wipeout for iOS is based on a game show that airs on ABC. If you don't watch the show because all your TV time goes to doing heroic deeds and helping grandmothers cross the street (you liar), all you really need to know is that contestants run across crazy obstacle courses. When they inevitably get knocked off, they wind up in the drink. It's all in the name of goofy fun, a credo that likewise describes the Wipeout game.

    What’s My IQ? Review

    By

    IQ tests are self-indulgent, pointless, and are a poor means of measuring something as complex as human intelligence. Yet we're drawn to those tests over and over. There's something comforting about a string of numbers that essentially tells us, "Yeah, you're smart, dogg. You locked your keys in the car this morning, but you're as sharp as a Ginsu." Maybe that's why What's My IQ? for iOS immediately draws in your attention. What you'll find, though, is a series of vague trick questions that don't measure any kind of intelligence, and aren't always fun to play with.

    If someone calls you a "sheep," the implication is that you're a brainless follower of some ideal or policy. Not a very flattering character trait to be sure, but sheep-like tendencies make up the core gameplay of Oh! Sheep, a line-drawing game for iOS. Sometimes, walking a direct path isn't so baaaaa-d.

    If you're up on your Greek mythology, then you probably already know that the gods of Olympus weren't always benevolent. Sure, Zeus would sometimes intervene in mortals' lives—typically to score with a maiden—but he was just as content to kick back with a chalice of the good stuff while humanity burned. Age of Myth is an iOS action/defense game that showcases Zeus's rare, protective side.

    Is your kingdom suffering from a goblin problem? You'll want a few good dwarves on your side. 300 Dwarves is a tower defense game for iOS that invokes mental images of the legendary Spartan army—but even though dwarves are likewise fierce fighters, you probably don't want to see any of them half-naked.

    Tap Campus Life Review

    By

    School bells have started ringing in the new semester with shrill, brass voices. It's time to sit your butt down in a chair and do some learning. Ah, but if you're going back to college or university, you have a little control over your own destiny. Will you focus on your studies, or will you revel in the party life? Pocket Gems' Tap Campus Life lets you indulge in the latter via a social/house-building game that's not unlike The Sims.

    Pawn Stars: The Game Review

    By

    If you're a fan of reality TV (and may your deity of choice protect and preserve you), then you've almost certainly watched Pawn Stars at least once. In case you're not initiated, Pawn Stars follows the three generations of the Harrison family (and one Austin "Chumlee" Russell) as they pick over other people's antiques to sell at their Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. Pawn Stars: The Game for Facebook may not contain any of the family drama that drives the Pawn Stars TV show, but it still earns a pretty high appraisal.

    Heads up: a new farming game is on the way for iOS. Not exactly a mind-blowing revelation, right? Well, what about a game about farming kiwis? The fruit, mind you—you wouldn't be farming New Zealanders. Still not impressed? How about this: In Kiwi Farm, the kiwis farm themselves. There you go. Kiwis are delicious, juicy, and self-reliant (that goes for the people as well as the fruit).
