Magic Bowling

Last week I tried Doodle Bowling out on my Android and it didn't do much for me. It wasn't bad, but as I've stated countless times before... it's hard to do justice to a 'sport' in video game format. The Wii was able to pull it off for bowling with it's new fangled controller and outstanding physics, but with a touch screen... I don't know. So I decided to give Magic Bowling a chance today.I&nb...

Fishin' 2 Go

Let me start this review by saying that I'm not into fishing. I don't view it as much of a sport. I see people by the river spending their day fishing and just can grasp the thrill of doing so. I just don't get why someone would choose to spend their time fishing unless, of course, they desperately need the food. And I say this not to belittle those that enjoy fishing as I know that there's no...

Here's a game that doesn't try to make such a claim when it probably should. Slitherlink is a puzzle game that relies on similar logical deductions as a game like Sudoku while offering a very different play experience.First, what is this game about? In...

Camel Games Freebies Galore!

Edit 3: Yesterday was an attempt at 'free for a day' apps, but the Android Market doesn't support that very well according to Camel. Ultimately it sounds like an experiment that didn't work out.

Flick Kick Field Goal

Sometimes it just seems odd that just a simple concept can be so much fun. Flick Kick Field Goal is one such game. I've been playing it all weekend trying to better my score, and trying to figure out what the draw is. Certainly football is part of the draw and releasing it during football season works in their favor. But why, when there's the similar (and free) Paper Toss that I've already pla...

SketchWars

Like so many games, SketchWars includes the names of two immensely successful games in its Market description in an attempt to ride on their coat tails. In this case it's the arcade classic 'Asteroids' and the XBLA hit 'Geometry Wars'. I'm surprised 'doodle' wasn't used in the game's title as that's the graphical style of this game and I thought that, too, was in vogue. The reality is that, wh...

NumNom

NumNom, currently on sale for $0.99, is a game that attracted me because of its comparison to Sudoku. I love Sudoku. NumNom is no Sudoku. To be fair, I think the goal is more so to get the Sudoku keyword in the Android Market description than to try and claim that it's like Sudoku. In fact, the description says that it's "easier than Sudoku" and with that I agree.NumNom is a math puzzle. You...
