Daily iPad App: League of Evil 2 proves platformers and touchscreens can play nice

by Mike Schramm (May 25th, 2012)

There are a lot of awesome games on sale in the Because We May event going on this weekend, but of the titles I've picked up so far, League of Evil 2 is probably my favorite. It's a platformer title, in the vein of Super Meat Boy, in that it's basically a quick and simple romp through a series ...

Daily iPad App: Feed Me Oil HD

by Mike Schramm (May 17th, 2012)

Chillingo's Feed Me Oil was released a little while ago, and it's a solid game that didn't get a ton of press when it first dropped. The reason for that is probably because it's somewhat similar to Where's My Water, in that you're trying to get a fluid simulation into a certain place on the ...

Daily iPad App: Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is gonna take you for a ride

by Mike Schramm (Apr 25th, 2012)

After quite a while, Capcom has finally released Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in the App Store, and you probably know right away if you want it or not. This Dreamcast-era fighting game might be a little silly and colorful, but it offers up some insane, excessive action that other fighting games have yet ...

by Mike Schramm (Apr 23rd, 2012)

I first saw Total War Battles (now out on the iPad and iPhone) at GDC earlier this year, and walked away excited about its potential. The Creative Assembly has been making phenomenal Total War games for the PC for years, with deep, intelligent war strategy across several time periods. Now ...

by Kelly Hodgkins (Apr 19th, 2012)

Today we are stepping outside our typical app reviews for the iPad and looking at an interactive book. Because of their interactive elements, these titles stray over into the app category. This particular title, The Little Girl Who Could Fly from YellowPixie, is an animated, illustrated ...

Daily iPad App: Fibble is Crytek's entry onto iOS

by Mike Schramm (Apr 18th, 2012)

If you had told me, just a couple of years ago, that Epic and Crytek would both have iOS apps in the store, I'm not sure I would have believed you. The Unreal Engine is one of the most popular graphical engines for major high resolution games, but Crytek is also very popular for its graphical ...

Daily iPad App: Bounty Bots is full of cartoony shooter action

by Mike Schramm (Apr 17th, 2012)

MunkyFun is the group of developers behind first-person shooter Archetype for the iPhone, so they know already how to put a console-style shooter on Apple's mobile devices. Archetype was published by Villian, but MunkyFun's latest title is self-published. It's called Bounty Bots, and it's ...

Daily iPad App: Soundbrush lets you create music with a brush

by Mel Martin (Apr 16th, 2012)

SoundBrush is a US $1.99 iPad app that lets you create original compositions by swiping your finger across the iPad screen. The description sounded a bit odd, but I had fun playing with SoundBrush and discovering what it could do. You can have a total of 4 instrumental lines -- piano, strings, ...

Daily iPad App: Say Anything lets you get somebody's attention without saying a thing

by Kelly Hodgkins (Apr 12th, 2012)

Sometimes you need to get a person's attention without saying a word. You can wave your hand wildly at them, but all that vigorous movement may scare them away. A better way to get someone's attention is to pull out your iPad and fire up a banner app like Say Anything from Appy Inc. Say ...

Daily iPad App: Adobe Reader is an easy way to add annotations and signatures to your PDF documents

by Kelly Hodgkins (Apr 11th, 2012)

Adobe updated its Reader app for iOS, and what was a good PDF reader is now an excellent tool to annotate and sign documents. As luck would have it, I needed to add a note and sign a PDF file that was sent to me via email today. This rare occurrence gave me the opportunity to check out these ...

Daily iPad App: Paper by FiftyThree may make you an artist

by Steven Sande (Apr 6th, 2012)

I am not an artist. I love art, but don't have the necessary skills (except for those I've picked up on my own) to really do anything that I'd want other people to see. When some of the early iPad drawing/painting apps started coming out, I eagerly bought them to try, but found that my lack of ...

Daily iPad App: Pholium

by Steven Sande (Apr 5th, 2012)

The iPad's journey to becoming more of a content-producing and creative tool took another step forward recently with the release of a new app called Pholium (US$9.99). The app is centered around the creation, viewing, and sharing of iPad photo ebooks. All of the creation of the photo ebooks ...

by Kelly Hodgkins (Apr 3rd, 2012)

We've covered Air Display from Avatron ever since it landed in the iOS App Store in early 2010. The popular utility lets you use your iPad as an external monitor for your Mac or Windows machine. Just like any standard external monitor, Air Display lets you extend your desktop or mirror it onto ...
