Pigs in Trees – BEST APPS

By Oliver Stockley | Best Apps

Pigs In Trees (69p/$0.99) by Tactile Entertainment Review Extract: “Apple enjoy reminding us that there’s an app for just about everything. My immediate reaction? “Sure, whatever. I bet pigs can fly, too.” Well, apparently they can… sort of, anyway. ‘There’s an app for that’, and it’s called Pigs in Trees. In it, a fighter pilot pig doesn’t just fly – he flies in style, engaging in aerial combat with swarms

Joining Hands – BEST APPS

By Oliver Stockley | Best Apps

Joining Hands (£1.99/$2.99) by 10Tons Ltd Review Extract: “In the UK, riots are dominating the headlines. Shops have been turned inside out, their entrails left scattered across the streets. Here to help remind those who looted iPhones of the advantages of everyone just getting along is a puzzle game from 10tons, Joining Hands ($2.99/£1.99). Ironically, the game is a riot to play. The app challenges you to place ultra-cute Peablins

Goop Review

By Oliver Stockley | Reviews

Goop (69p/$0.99) by Fine and Dandy Games is a keeper, despite not being particularly addicting, full of content or containing birds.

They tend to lack originality but somehow hold an addicting edge. Zookeeper DX Touch Edition fits this description perfectly. The app tasks you with capturing zoo animals by lining up three or more of the same kind horizontally or vertically. At each level, you are assigned certain numbers

Peggle – BEST APPS

By Oliver Stockley | Best Apps

Peggle (£1.99/$2.99) by PopCap Games What is Peggle? There’s no sound quite as satisfying as the playful ping of pachinko-like Peggle’s ball as it tumbles and bounds about a field of pegs and bricks. You control a cannon on the top of the screen, aiming the ball at the pegs so that it’ll bounce about the playing field hitting as many orange pegs as possible. Clearing all orange pegs is

Hungry Choo-Choo Review

By Oliver Stockley | Reviews

Hungry Choo-Choo (normally 59p/99 cents, free until July 21st) by MushRoom Games is mind-bogglingly colourful. I feel like I should review it with caps lock on to reflect its loud, slightly irritating and immediately arresting personality. The game tasks you with filling a spherical, inanely smiling ‘choo-choo’ with different coloured foods. He fussily calls out the colour or type of food that he wants, and you drag as much of
