Android Game Review: Ozzy's Odyssey

Ozzy's Odyssey
YouTube link for mobile viewing Everyone, meet Ozzy. Ozzy, meet everyone. Ozzy is your typical robot (almost looks like a long lost cousin of Andy/Bugdroid), just floating around and doing his robot thing. Unfortunately for him, whoever built him left off that whole "ability to jump" thing. In its place, they gave him the power to suck things into his head using some robot technology, then dump...

Musaic Box
YouTube link for mobile viewing Music has always held a special place in my life. I did choir, play the tuba, and am majoring in music in college. Unfortunately, music doesn't usually make a compelling game, so when I was presented with Musaic Box, I was understandably skeptical. In short, HeroCraft proved me very, very wrong. Musaic Box is built in the point-and-click genre of games, where you'...

Android Game Review: Apparatus

Apparatus
YouTube link for mobile viewing Sometimes I come across a game that makes me feel really dumb really challenges the ol' noggin of mine, and I know I just have to share it with you all, the Android faithful (because Android users are inherently smart). Apparatus is one such game, and by the time you're done with it, you'll deserve either a pat on the back or a tasty cold one (or both). If the...

Update: Looks like there are some serious issues with this app. We'd hold off on purchasing it. With the Holidays raplidly approaching, everyone is trying to get into the spirit, and while traditions differ, if you celebrate Christmas one thing nearly everyone can remember is writing letters to Santa. Letters for Santa is a great application available for your Android tablet that allows you to...

Video hands-on with Cluzee: Not quite a Siri competitor

Youtube link for mobile viewing There are a few things a voice-recognition app needs to do well to be successful -- and must do extremely well if it wants to call itself a competitor to Apple's Siri. It needs to be easilly accessible, and launch quickly. Very quickly. It needs to actually understand what you're saying. It needs to return results quickly. As we continue to find out,...

Great Little War Game
YouTube link for mobile viewing What happens if you take one part Advance Wars, one part any tactics game, give it a hilarious storyline with a rough-and-tumble stereotypical general, and release it for Android? Oh, well then you'd have Great Little War Game by Rubicon Development. In Great Little War Game (or GLWG, as it's named in the app drawer), you're part of Force Blue (my name, not theirs...

Android Game Review: Ground Effect Pro XHD

Ground Effect Pro XHD
YouTube link for mobile viewing If there's one game I loved playing as I was growing up, it'd have to be Hydro Thunder. Piloting souped-up speed boats with ridiculous turbo jets tacked onto their backs was one of the highlights of any trip to the arcade, and I could burn endless amounts of quarters playing again and again and again. While Ground Effect Pro XHD isn't Hydro Thunder in name, it's...

Mobile Checkbook
 Guest review by Kerri Neill Mobile Checkbook, a hugely popular personal accounting application on the BlackBerry platform, is now available for Android devices. Mobile Checkbook allows the user to quickly enter in both deposits and withdrawals while maintaining an accurate bank balance on the go. Mobile Checkbook allows you to ditch that paper transaction register and record their transactions...

Chicken Coup Remix HD
YouTube link for mobile viewing Remember in The Fox and the Hound how Tod is a likeable, heroic fox that ends up saving the day in the end? He must be from a different breed of fox (the Disney breed?) than the ones you'll meet in Chicken Coup Remix HD, because these foxes are nothing but muderous, bloodthirsty creatures with only one goal in mind: eat all your brainless chickens. Why do I call...

Reflexions
YouTube link for mobile viewing We've all been there: a maniacal evil genius has you in the thick of his trap, and the only way to escape his series of death beams is to reflect them away from you using whatever is at your disposal. Maybe it's a nickel, maybe you've got a lot of mirrors at your disposal. At any rate, we all know the only way we got out of the trap (and saved the day!) was...

Star Diamonds Paradise
YouTube link for mobile viewing If you're looking for a slight deviation on the gameplay you'll find in Star Diamonds Capture, you need look no further than Star Diamonds Paradise. It's built much in the same way as its sister game, with a few differences. You're still playing against a live opponent (and you'll need an internet connection to do so!), you're still trying to capture as many points...

Star Diamonds Capture
YouTube link for mobile viewing I'm trying to remember when our fascination with games that have jewels in them came about, but I really don't know. People seem to go bananas for Bejweled, and while this isn't that, it's in the same vein of games with jewels (and fun). Star Diamonds Capture has a simple enough premise: Flip the spots two jewels are in, and while doing so, try to get three-of-a-...

Android Wallpaper Review: RLW Live Wallpaper Pro

RLW Live Wallpaper Pro
Let me be the first to say, yes, I know this app has a redundant name. It's called Rotating Live Wallpaper, but its full name is RLW Live Wallpaper Pro. So you've got LW Live Wallpaper, which essentially translates into Live Wallpaper Live Wallpaper, but I digress. At first glance, RLW Live Wallpaper looks startlingly similar to Mystic Halo, but upon closer inspection you'll notice it's less...

Minimal Reader Pro
As we wait for the impending update to the Google Reader app, I took to looking for other cool ways to consume everything on my Reader feed. Through my journey in the Market, I discovered not an app, but a widget called Minimal Reader Pro. Minimal Reader Pro is awesome because not only does it save you the hassle of opening an app (precious seconds are lost when opening apps!), it looks...
