By Leanna Lofte, Wednesday, Aug 22, 2012 a 2:45 am

ThinkO for iPhone and iPad is a mind challenging puzzle game that focuses on your cognitive skills. The goal is simple: to move the rows and columns of rings to match the same colored squares. The challenging part is that every time you make a move, more squares start appearing, so if you aren't efficient with your choices, you will trap yourself with too many squares.

GoSum for iPhone and iPad review

By Leanna Lofte, Thursday, Aug 9, 2012 a 2:29 am

If Words with Friends had a love affair with mathematics, the result would be GoSum. In fact, Words with Friends is to Scrabble, as GoSum is to Equate. Instead of trying to spell words on the game board, the goal of GoSum is to create valid arithmetic equations like 9 + 5 - 6 = 8. GoSum is fun, challenging, and educational.

Amazing Alex for iPhone and iPad review

By Leanna Lofte, Thursday, Jul 12, 2012 a 8:10 pm

Amazing Alex is a "new" game by Angry Birds maker Rovio. I say "new", because it has actually been in the App Store before -- as Casey's Contraptions. Rovio purchased the physics-based puzzle game and rebranded it as Amazing Alex. It promises 100 levels of challenging fun, the ability to create and share your own levels, and the frequent, free updates that have made Angry Birds an enduring hit.

The much anticipated sequel to Tiny Wings has just hit the App Store for the iPhone and iPad. It features a whole new game mode called "Flight School", 15 new hand-crafted levels, and a few new additions to the bird family.

The great news is that Tiny Wings 2.0 for iPhone is not a new app, which means previous Tiny Wings players get this update for free! On the other hand, Tiny Wings HD for iPad is a separate, new app and is available for $2.99.
