App Review #2: MyPad+ (iPad)

Game Review # 2: M.A.G. (Miko Action Game) I & II

In today's mobile app markets, the dominating games are usually made to be eye candies and simple to play. This is admittedly the simplest formula to a successful game (being free is also a plus). Most of these developers are Americans or European-based companies and they know their audiences are easily swayed with good visuals.

App Review #1: Blogsy for iPad
