Scribblenauts – a great creative, problem solving game
Posted on March 21, 2012 | No CommentsScribblenauts was originally introduced to us via my brother’s Nintendo DS. When we saw it out for the iPad, we jumped on it. Maxwell, the main character, often finds himself in situations where he needs help. That’s where you come in. You create objects (by... -
Draw Something – fun family app – pictionary with a bit of spelling
Posted on March 14, 2012 | No CommentsIt’s been a while since an app has really truly captured the whole family – and I’m not just talking about the kid. There have been apps that the kid and his dad have enjoyed, the kid and his aunt have enjoyed, etc. but one... -
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? But I guess if it worked for the Transformers, it should work with Battleship. Anyway, suppose you’re completely disheartened by Hasbro’s sell-out and want to relive... -
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)...
