Man, the avian species needs anger management classes. First we get the titular subjects of Angry Birds launching themselves at those durn pigs. Now, I-Play’s Pigeon Squadron takes feathery airborne aggression out on humans.

We’ve got five codes to give away for …
Some video game genres fit pretty easily onto Apple’s iDevices. Platformers do extremely well, as do strategy games and turn-based RPGs. First-person shooters have been a mixed bag so far, though, and getting decent multiplayer FPS action on an iDevice has been an exercise in frustration.
That said, I’ve been playing a bit with …

Today in Techland: I chatted up the new champ of the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, Dan Feyer, who made is ascent to the throne Sunday in Brooklyn, while Lev wondered just how Plants vs. Zombies made it to the top of best selling apps list. Elsewhere, Steve pushed pause on his favorite Alien 3 moment, and …
Seriously, I know Allie already posted about this game, but WTF? I cannot understand why this game is all ruling on iTunes.
(If you haven’t played Plants vs. Zombies, watch this video trailer, featuring music oddly reminiscent of Tangerine Dream’s Risky Business soundtrack: …
Since Lev is out for the next two weeks on book leave, I’ve taken it upon myself to keep App Club going. Is that okay with everyone?
This week’s installment comes from the twisted mind of American McGee, you know, the guy behind American McGee’s Alice and its upcoming sequel among many others. Anyway, McGee’s Spicy Horse has spawned a …
I liked Earth vs. Moon. Even thought it sometimes made me weep until my iPhone’s touchscreen was slick and piezoelectrically confused by the multi-touches of my hot salty tears.
So I jumped on the second game by the same developers, Low Five Games, which is called The Horrible Vikings.
The contrast with their first game could not …
Look, it’s not like I could make a better shooter for the iPhone. And it’s not like I couldn’t imagine someone else really loving N.O.V.A. It’s just that that person isn’t me.
I feel strangely protective of N.O.V.A. Like the drawings my daughter makes, which you want to praise except you can’t tell what they are.
I mean, it really …
This is how we roll at Techland: we spend some cheese.
Buying N.O.V.A. for the iPhone is like driving down the street in a stretch Hummer in a rap video, and you hit the button to clean your windshield, and instead of windshield wiper fluid, pure Close du Mesnil champagne (1979, a great vintage, their first bottling, 98 points in Wine …
Christmastime is here. It may not surprise you to know that your correspondent isn’t a great lover of the holiday season. As I write this I’m listening to MC Kreacher’s “My Wish List.” It soothes my black grinchy heart.
Casual gaming has gotten me through many a grim holiday season. Snood in particular — well do I remember hours …
