iOS

Time is limited. Apps are plentiful. How can you make sense of the ever-increasing number of new games in the App Store?

Well, by reading Pocket Gamer, of course. But we can't possibly cover everything, and there are some games that just don't fit in our wheelhouse. Thankfully, our friends over at 148Apps are here to save the day.

Take a look at some of the casual games that have caught the attention of the 148Apps team...

World of Thingies: Puzzle
By Mobage

"World of Thingies: Puzzle is a lot of fun when it allows itself to be, but it's hampered by unfair boss fights and greedy free-to-play mechanics." (Nadia Oxford)

Panzer Tactics HD
By Sproing Interactive Media

"A variety of units and meticulous turn-based combat make Panzer Tactics HD a solid, challenging choice." (Andrew Fisher)

Dragonwood Academy: A Game of Stones
By XMG Studio

"This game is a self-proclaimed love letter to FTL, but with submarines." (Campbell Bird)

Arcane Battles
By Brighter Games

"Even great artwork can't save Arcane Battles from feeling as generic as its name." (Andrew Fisher)

By Adult Swim Games

"Adult Swim's physics trial racer is good, but mostly wheel-spinning." (Jordan Minor)

Ruzzle Adventure
By MAG Interactive

By PixelToys

"Like most zombie shooters, Gunfinger is fun for a while - and, like most zombie shooters, the fun runs its course pretty quickly." (Nadia Oxford)

All this, plus Rob Rich reviews the Wren V5AP wireless speaker.

Chris is a little frightened that he is the oldest writer on the 148Apps staff, but maybe there's someone else out there who remembers when a Mac Plus was cutting edge and the Newton was nothing short of miraculous.
