Tiny reviews for tiny apps
Kamikaze Race: Road-based survival game. Plays like a stripped-down Racer. Simple but fun & exciting. 3/5 $1.99 http://bit.ly/b97wEa
Bit Pilot (rating update): We underrated this fab survival game earlier in the month. It’s fantastic. Buy it. 5/5 $0.99 http://bit.ly/bPnrSP
Flick Kick Rugby: Compelling flick-goal game, identical to Flick Kick Field Goal, bar the visuals. 3/5 $0.99 http://bit.ly/9awEye
Canabalt (iPad): Universal update now runs in big-o-vision on iPad. Still fun, but Run! & Hellkid are better. 3/5 $2.99 http://bit.ly/d4knja
Strategery (iPad): Universal app scales well to iPad, and also shows largest maps in full. Recommended. 4/5 $1.99 http://bit.ly/agC5bV
Strategery: Hugely addictive Risk-style game. Online multiplayer needs more options, but otherwise excellent. 4/5 $1.99 http://bit.ly/agC5bV
Dictionary.com: Fast, efficient, usable offline dictionary & thesaurus, marred a little by intrusive ads. 4/5 Free http://bit.ly/a5XTvC
Car Mania: Road-based take on Flight Control. Pretty & several scenarios, but lacks pace and flexibility. 2/5 $0.99 http://bit.ly/9u1JjM
Pac-Man for iPad: Rock-solid classic arcade game conversion, but this should have been a universal app. 3/5 $4.99 http://bit.ly/bfuzlU
Last Gladiators (iPad update): Universal app adds value, but iPad graphics scaling/UI touch placement is rough. 3/5 http://bit.ly/a2sZUV
