Alvin and the Chipmunks go mobile

And the results will test your memory

Alvin and the Chipmunks go mobile

Nine out of ten memory puzzle games on mobile are adult titles. It's true. If you're matching blocks to make them disappear and reveal a photo underneath, chances are it's revealing in the erotic sense of the word.

Alvin and the Chipmunks, thankfully, falls into the other 10 per cent of memory puzzlers (unless there's a secret mode we haven't heard of, but that doesn't bear thinking about). You have to match icons to reveal pics of squeaky-voiced Alvin and his chipmunk mates Simon and Theodore.

It's based on the all-new movie remake of the original TV show, apparently. And we wonder how many hardcore chipmunk fans there are out there, and whether they'll be happy with a memory puzzler rather than another genre of game?

Still, if you really can't get enough of the beaver* family's equivalent of the Bee Gees, then it may be worth a look.

(*chipmunks are related to beavers, aren't they? With those teeth, they should be.)
