Physics Based Games

God of Light is an app that expands on an already well-traversed universe of physics-based puzzle games. By effectively merging and infusing a distinct visual style and a standout score from hip hop act UNKLE, God of Light turns this brain twister into a sublime, if not occasionally evocative, experience.

I was confused when I first saw the title for World of Gibbets. I kept thinking to myself, “What the hell is a gibbet?” It sounds like a cute animal. Maybe it was a relative of those little gibbon monkeys you sometimes see at the zoo. Boy, was I wrong. A gibbet refers to an instrument of public execution and gibbetting was the act of stringing up bodies for public display in order to keep the community in line. What a lovely topic for a little iOS game.

Rovio Entertainment has finally let the world in on their newest title, Angry Birds Stella. These birds look quite different than the roster of birds we have come to know and love.

A cryptic message and silhouetted photo from Rovio has left us pondering about the next incarnation of Angry Birds.

Flappy Bird has been the talk of the town, and it's time to officially weigh-in and see if it's worth the controversy, hype and broken screens.

While Flappy Bird has been pulled from the downloadable market, phones have been have starting to appear on eBay with the advertised feature of having Flappy Bird pre-installed on them.

A new update to Angry Birds Star Wars 2 brings a frozen Han for you to fling at all those evil hams.

It's the new year, and superlatives are completely understandable due to hopeful resolutions and a sunnier disposition. Feed Me Oil 2 is one of the new releases of the just reopened App Store, and even though Santa Claus is on vacation, the Christmas spirit should linger for iOS lovers.

Forget the black infused back drop of Icycle: On Thin Ice's title screen, since everything about this game is colorful. Starting with its James Bond inspired opening sequence, this app reels you in with all its pretty pictures, illustrating a surreal dreamscape where bicycles fear to tread. Adventurers, however, may love the thrill of the chill.

Roller coasters are one of my earliest fears, and biting my lip as I experienced my first loop is a memory I'd soon forget. But with a bit of foolhardy bravado, I ended up loving the amusement park's go to ride, so I was more than willing to delve into the latest iOS release Coaster Crazy Deluxe. A bit of insanity prevails in this app, and maybe that's a good thing.
