Wild Chords – learn to play a real guitar with this fun app
Posted on December 6, 2011 | No CommentsThis is more of a guitar playing tutorial than a game. But it is the type of tutorial that shows what learning with the iPad can be. They have basically taken the Guitar Hero style gameplay, but mapped it use your own real guitar. Using... -
Maze+ – Freemium app that lead to some tears.
Posted on September 15, 2011 | No CommentsMaze+ is an interesting game at some levels. At a personal level though, it left us in tears. The idea is simple enough – lead your cute little dude through a maze. The maze is interesting in that it doesn’t all fit on the screen... -
Casey’s Contraptions – physics game, geared towards kids with a iPad friendly UI
Posted on August 13, 2011 | 1 CommentIt’s a physics, Rube Goldberg game, with a slant towards children. It is a lot like the previously reviewed Crazy Machines, but it has a much more intuitive UI, and the main character is a little boy, which I think is more attractive to the younger... -
Ticket to Ride – great iPad implementation of the board game.
Posted on August 8, 2011 | 1 CommentI have a few board game enthusiasts at work and they were recommending some board games to play with Sal. At first, I wasn’t into the idea behind Ticket to Ride, but when I was talking to another parent about games with choice versus games... -
Battleship; new school vs. old school.
Posted on August 6, 2011 | No CommentsSo we all think it is ridiculous that they are making a movie out of the game Battleship right?

Super 7 – Flight Control fun with a math drilling aspect to it.
Posted on April 17, 2011 | No CommentsSal busted me on this one, but I had the last laugh. When I called him over to show him a new game, he yelled back “Is it going to be a fun one or one that tries to teach me math?” Guess he’s had... -

We Theives – Cute problem solver, though maybe a little dark.
Posted on April 8, 2011 | No CommentsThese guys are cute, no doubt about it. But the story line is a little strange, with them stealing treasures. Them stealing treasures without the ability to move on their own even – they need to be pushed and prodded through physics (gravity, levers, explosions)... -
Solitaire Chess – if chess and the peg puzzle had a baby
Posted on April 6, 2011 | No CommentsThe kind folks at ThinkFun let me know about this one after they saw how much we enjoyed RushHour. They were very sweet and provided a promo code so that we could try this one out too. Basically this is the peg game – but... -
The Three Pigs – pop up book deluxe!
Posted on April 2, 2011 | 3 CommentsI remember the books as a kid that had some sort of interaction with them. Usually tabs you could pull to pop up a tree or make someone’s tail wag or sometimes, change an image in a window by having the “blinds” change. All sort...
