iPad App Recommendations

A few games to recommend:

Airport Mania: Time-management game that is fun and quirky, with you directing airplanes to the right place. If you don't do it quite quickly enough, they become angry. Its pretty laid back for a time-management game. :)

Train Conductor 1 & 2: Another time-management game where you move trains to the right tracks on many levels. I reviewed this game on my blog a while back. One of my favorite games :).

Robotek HD: Chance-based strategy scifi game about you taking the world back from the take-over of the robots. Pretty graphics and balanced gameplay. Free-to-play, but you don't need to pay-to-win. :)

Haha, woops, I forgot that Gamecenter is using real-names in the friends list so I was looking for Billy, not Joe. :)

Love the sound my phone makes when I get a Game Center request.

KingIsaacLinksr · July 04, 2011, 10:35:02 AM

Actually, I didn't realize but that link above is more than game apps. It's a whole round up of 75 apps PC Magazine suggests to try. The list starts with games. Some good suggestions in there I think.

Haven't had any app recommendations for a while so I'll throw out one:

Flipboard. For iPad only. Basically, if you want to read from a variety of sources such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or even your RSS reader, this app will put them all into a magazine-type format. Very nifty and I use it from time to time to catch up on the day's news. You can even add from other sources for Tech news and such. Very touch friendly with all sorts of ways to open, close and flip between stories. I really enjoy using it. :) Its free too.

That sounds interesting Tim, thanks.

billybob476 · July 20, 2011, 08:27:21 PM

Yeah Flipboard is how I read facebook, twitter, Instagram and my Google Reader feeds on my iPad. Great app. It even has an "Oprah" featured feed that Fran likes :)

Anyone try the "Ball Invasion" game yet?

billybob476 · July 26, 2011, 08:58:40 AM

I downloaded Sid Meyer's Pirates a day or so ago but haven't had the chance to give it a go just yet. I'll post some impressions when I do.

please do, that game is on my "pile of shame" in that I've never played it but know I really would like it.
