Going somewhere? I usually am very apprehensive of travel arrangements. I'm awful with maps and get phobic when I see Airline or travel sites. So I usually let the other person do the arrangements for me. How convenient. Well that was until I had actually needed to take care of it myself. Facing my inevitable apprehensive reaction, I decided to get an app that...Continue to app
Steady as it goes I'm sure most of you played, or at least heard of Lunar Lander. Since the 1979 original, this game has seen countless clones, from simple wireframe reproductions to somewhat complex gameplay and enhanced graphics. I remember playing such a game in the early 2000's. It seems that the fascination of landing a box with lateral thrusters and a big...Continue to app
Piano Tiles? When I played Piano Tiles (or Don't Tap The White Tile) for the first time it evoked images of Charlie Chaplin's character working hard on the assembly line in Modern Times. 'This game is very close to being work'. After a few minutes fiddling around the settings menu and trying out different play modes, It finally dawned on me that I have played...Continue to app
Not the claw! Well, don't be scared by this totally inappropriate title. Prize Claw is not about a ghastly creature with oversized fingernails (although some elements within are somewhat unnerving). Here you actually simulate operating a motorized claw in picking toys inside a sealed container, just like you'd find in old arcade venues. The premise and...Continue to app
Stay in the loop You must know some of those games that have adopted a blocky look and simple mechanics, in which you need to control a character as long as you can in a dangerous environment. This description sums up many a game and also describes Loop Taxi quite well. Here you will need to pick up passengers from one side of a busy multi-lane highway and...Continue to app
Foreign chirps Duolingo has been inhabiting the space of one of my Android tablets (yes, I have more than one) for some time now. I initially installed it out of curiosity. I then started exploring the Dutch course and got up to about 9 lessons. I must say that for a free app, it is mighty impressive. The Duolingo language courses are developed by the...Continue to app
The sleeping giant From the olden days of the late nineties, the mp3 file format has been associated with Winamp. One of the most versatile and accessible audio players on the market, Winamp has maintained its identity and capabilities till 2013 when AOL discontinued support and subsequently sold Nullsoft to Radionomy. Since then, Winamp is no longer updated and...Continue to app
Hungry, Hungry Selachimorpha I can now understand why binge eating can be so satisfying. In Hungry Shark Evolution you will be guiding a shark in attacking and eating as often as possible. Almost anything that it can find under and over the blue ocean waves is fair game. "Hold on" you might say, "Why can't I take my time? You know, digestion is...Continue to app
Pigs get crackin' I can't say I really like the Angry Birds series. The premise is fun, the graphics and animations are hilarious, but the main reason I just can't fall in love with it is the same as why I don't love the Worms series: Ballistics. It seems that I'm never able to increase my skill in games that require setting the power and aiming. That's exactly...Continue to app
Be conscious The Web is an information universe. An aetheric sea of web domains and pages all encapsulated into a very large computer superstructure. We are the internauts. We navigate the information sea and we jump between domains while being in multiple places at the same time, just like those funky subatomic particles. But in case you're tired of the same...Continue to app
