Sunday, February 28, 2010
Price: $1.99 Score: 8/10 By Steve Beaudry There must be dozens of DDR/Guitar Hero clones in the app store, but iGlowdown is the first one to use glow sticks.

Thursday, February 25, 2010
Price: $1.99 Score: 6/10 By Steve Beaudry There’s something to be said for knowing which drinks will get you how drunk in what amount of time. For one thing, you don’t want to be falling out of your chair at Last Call. For another, as this game indicates, you don’t want to lose it in front [...]

Price: $2.99 Score: 5/10 By Lara Vukelich According to iTunes, Contact Hero is an app that aids in business and personal networking. While this app by Spacemonkey Mike does have some potential concerning the former, it doesn’t do much that your iPhone can’t do already.

Friday, February 12, 2010
Price: $0.99 Score: 2/10 By Steve Beaudry Sometimes simple is good. Sometimes a clean interface can inspire greatness. This is not one of those times.

Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Price: $0.99 Score: 8/10 By Steve Beaudry It’s difficult to judge the quality of an app that’s clearly designed for small children.
