I remember attending an EA press event that showcased a lot of their sports titles, and while most people were getting into the newest soccer, basketball, and boxing titles for XBOX and PS3, or even trying their luck with EA Sports Active, which was coming out soon, I spent most of my time with an iPhone in my hand. I got to play with the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR App Game several months before it … [Read more...]

Just when you thought everything had an App, here comes Tapper. Yes, Tapper, though now it will be going by the name Tapper World Tour. Many will sadly have no idea what Tapper is, but I can tell you that a fair number of my quarters found their way into these machines back in the day. The general idea is the same, but the game has gotten a massive makeover, and it may well be just the sort of … [Read more...]
I'm not quite sure where exactly this falls on the general awesomeness scale, but Warner Bros. Digital Distribution is opening the door for film releases as Apps, and they're launching the idea with Inception and The Dark Knight. These look awfully cool, and provide you with a lot of possibilities and content, though the iPad version seems the one that makes the most sense to me. Whatever you … [Read more...]
One of the biggest television surprises in a long time is What I Like About You. Putting Amanda Bynes and Jennie Garth together in a sit-com was not the sort of thing that sent me running to set a Season Pass on my Tivo. But, I have to admit that the show about opposite sisters sucked me in. Possibly, and you have to take this in the right way, in much the way that iCarly has sucked me in over … [Read more...]

We all know there's an App for everything, but if you've tried out the Apps available in the area of travel in general and/or booking hotels, you know that things are pretty limited.

Well, there's a new game in town in the hotel booking … [Read more...]

Sometimes we have to admit our biases, and I have to come right out and say that I've been a TiVo subscriber/owner for very nearly as long as it has been possible to be. There are other options out there, but there is no sense in which I can recommend them as long as TiVo is available. You may think that because TiVo is called a DVR, and the cable company tells you the thing it gives you is also a … [Read more...]

Some apps get their value by glitz and wow, but the ones that actually get used on a regular basis simply do work. Usually, pretty simple work too, but in an incredibly convenient way. Such is the case with Movies Now (or MoviesNow, or MoviesNow HD), an app for iPhone and iPad that has been getting a lot of attention recently. It's so simple in fact, that it largely defies description. It's an … [Read more...]
If you still don't have a smartphone, you've got to get one. I may be something of a tech geek, but generally I despise gadgets for the sake of gadgets. However, at some point everyone who pays enough attention to what's going on in the world discovers that, by God, there really is an App for that. Doodle God, on the other hand, has me stymied. Even considering the entire world of App games, … [Read more...]
