Developers eager to submit apps before App Store vacation

by Mike Schramm (Dec 19th, 2011)

It's that time of year again: Snow is in the air, presents are underneath the tree, and Apple is about to shut down the developer's side of App Store for its yearly freeze. The New York Times has done some solid coverage on the shutdown this year, which will start this Thursday, and run for a ...

Daily iPhone App: Spy Mouse

by Mike Schramm (Aug 25th, 2011)

Much like all of that snow outside your door, the App Store's top lists are currently frozen -- Apple will release what's in the top spots on the marketplace tomorrow (after the holiday), but until then, everything's staying exactly where it is.

TUAW's Daily App: Mirror's Edge

by Mike Schramm (Sep 3rd, 2010)

But this one's worth it -- Mirror's Edge is a pretty terrific, completely original translation of the plaforming game that ...

I looked at two world conquest-style games that follow from the original Risk board game: Strategy and Conquist. Admittedly, I'm not a big Risk fan. I much prefer games that involve more building and planning and less random dice rolling. With that confession on the table, I did find that both ...
