by Mike Schramm (Mar 26th, 2013)

Super Stickman Golf is a great title that I've been playing for years -- it's a big standby for games journalists in particular for some reason, and every time I come to a conference full of games writers, like this week at GDC, there's always someone playing it at any given time. The company ...

Adobe brings Photoshop Touch to the iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Feb 27th, 2013)

Puzzle Craft goes on a 'Treasure Hunt' next week

by Mike Schramm (Feb 22nd, 2013)

Puzzle Craft was one of my favorite games last year on any platform, not even just Apple's App Store. But like a lot of the title's fans, I've been somewhat disappointed that developers Ars Thanea haven't followed it up with any new content. They and publisher Chillingo had quite a few golden ...

by Mike Schramm (Feb 15th, 2013)

Simogo is an iOS developer best known for games that are cartoony and fun, like the great Beat Sneak Bandit and the charming Bumpy Road. But the company's next title is going to take a much darker turn, apparently. Year Walk is Simogo's next project, and as you can see above, this game looks ...

Firefox 17 drops OS X 10.5 Leopard support, adds integrated Facebook Messenger

by Mike Schramm (Nov 21st, 2012)

Firefox 17 is out of beta, but the biggest story for us Mac users is what it doesn't do, namely support OS X 10.5 Leopard. That's right, Mozilla's browser has moved on, so if you're still running 10.5, this latest version is not for you. But it does add a new "Social API," which Facebook has ...

by Mike Schramm (Jul 25th, 2012)

Safari 6, as you might have noticed in Software Update this morning, is now out for OS X. But Windows users have noticed something a little strange: There are no download links for a Windows version, and the latest version is still Safari 5.1.7 on Apple's official website. I don't think this ...

Another title from Tiny Wings creator coming this month

by Mike Schramm (May 8th, 2012)

We haven't heard much (anything, really) from Tiny Wings creator Andreas Illiger since he released his amazing little iOS game Tiny Wings, featuring a cute bird flying through a series of random hills. Illiger was a little intimidated (not surprisingly) after his game got so big so fast, and he ...
