Many moons ago I reviewed Big Blue Bubble's Elven Chronicles and Home Sweet Home, so I was already familiar with BBB's work when I picked up Fling a Thing. These guys do quality work, and I wasn't disappointed with their latest offering where you fling this alien-looking "thing" up into the air with the aim of popping bubbles and grabbing bonuses as you fling your way upward through the levels.

Rack Stare is currently #21 in the Top 25 Free section in the App Store

With all the great but unknown apps out there, part of me wants to weep for humanity when apps like Rack Stare make it into the coveted Top 25 list.

Since the release of 'Fruit Ninja'hundreds of similar titles havebeen made available on the app store.Some are refreshing and add tothe see-and-swipe formula, butmost fail. Third planet is more an example of the latter, asking players to swipe awayasteroids before they connect with earth. The physics arefine, responding well to the touch, but the lack of depth is a problem.

Happy Turkey Day to all of IAR's readers in the US of A! Be nice to your family... you never know which one of them might give you an iPhone or iPad for Christmas! :)

Left dog: Be careful what table scraps you give to your dog this Thanksgiving. Many are toxic to dogs. Do your research and NO turkey bones!!

Middle dog:Luckily I'm vegan so I don't have to worry!

Right dog: Bwaaa haha, right Twinkle sure you are. If you're a vegan I'm a wolf hybrid.

I had a love-hate relationship with the Rubik's Cube growing up. My friend next-door was like an idiot savant at those damn things, but like our administrator Michael, the only way for me to solve one was by peeling off the colored stickers and then re-arranging them. Thus, I went into this review fairly skeptical of Xenocube SD. I am more of a Tetris guy when it comes to puzzlers, so I didn't think Xenocube SD would be my cup of tea. It turns out that I was pleasantly surprised.

I just thought of a very festive and potentially hilarious use for Video Squeak: gather your kids or coworkers or drunk friends, and use Video Squeak to make a video of them singing that Christmas song by Alvin and the Chipmunks! They can do it in their normal voices, or they can try to imitate the Chipmunks' trademark squeakiness, and the ensuing Video Squeak-ed result will have everyone literally LOLing and you'll be the hero of the party!

Below is a piss-poor effort on my part to show what this app does to voices with the pitch cranked up to about 80-90%. I should have made my friends sit there and tell jokes or something.

iPhone App Reviews.net is not a political blog and it never will be, but something special is happening out in those parks! Andthe protest sign below is just too good not to share... a greater truth has never been scrawled onto a piece of posterboard.

I'm gonna start off by saying that Rolling Star Free would be getting 4 stars if the developer could make up their mind about the "free" revenue model... sell upgrades, sell levels, or run ads? Unfortunately zgame is doing all three of those things which kind of ruins what is otherwise a pretty decent puzzle game (the video below doesn't show the ads). Developers certainly have the right to make a buck when they give away their work for "free", but this kind of overkill is really a turnoff.

So anyway... Rolling Star Free! You tilt your device to roll a Boy star through obstacle courses with the ultimate goal of hooking up with Girl star. Succeed and you move on to the next level; fail and the poor Girl star bursts into tears.
