If you expect wise questions and wise answers, then Stupidness 2 isn't the game for you; instead, the app will shock and entertain by asking simple questions and, by playing on the ambiguous nature of the language, will trick you. In the end, the answers are obvious, but you need to think outside the box to figure them out.

With Stupidness 2 you shouldn't expect sharp visuals or awesome audio effects; this is an app that is focused on brainteasers, all of which are designed to use your mind and creativity with a single aim: to make you … Read more

If you can't travel with a multi-lingual friend, you can add iTranslator 2 to your iPhone and iPod touch to help you navigate foreign lands or any place you don't speak the language. This feature-rich and easy-to-use iOS app helps you communicate in 50+ languages. It also translates text from images using the app's OCR feature, although you might have to deal with a couple of hiccups.

The app comes with an easy-to-understand user interface that aims to help the user translate any sentence or phrase into the user-selected language. The screen is divided into two parts, … Read more

Twitter for Mac brings the iOS experience closer on the computer by eliminating the traditional title bar and relying only on sleek, side-tab navigation. The app feels native on the system, and its intuitive, simple user interface provides a great user experience, although it lacks some of the features power users will find on other Twitter feed reader apps such as Tweetdeck.

The Twitter app makes it super-easy to handle multiple accounts. As soon as users add an account, its avatar will appear on the app's sidebar. We liked the simple and effective visual notifications Twitter for Mac uses … Read more

It started as an iOS app, and now it is available on the Mac OS X platform, too: Battle Nations is a free game that combines city-building -- including harvesting resources and creating goods -- with combat, as you are also in charge of training troops and defending territory. While the combination of too many elements results in simplified building mechanics and combat (maybe too simplified), the overall gaming experience is enjoyable.

Everyone has a story, even the virtual characters, and we liked the action-movie type introduction of the characters at first launch; we wondered if this aimed to replace … Read more

The sequel to Red Crucible, Red Crucible 2, is a free first-person shooter that is available in the Mac App Store. Bringing the battlefield experience to its users in a multiplayer action, Red Crucible is fun, but the limited number of free guns available and the poor graphics affect the overall gaming experience.

Gamers who are already familiar with first-person-shooter games will likely intuitively know which buttons they need to use to start the game. However, the lack of a Help file is a problem for people who are new to first-person shooters. There is no storyline behind the game, … Read more

Subway Surfers doesn't need any kind of introduction or Help file, as the controls will be already familiar from the well-known Temple Run. The free iOS game fails to innovate, yet its nice design and environment will keep most players entertained.

The app can't beat the Temple Run marks, but what we liked was that it places you into a situation. Although you don't know what you saw in the temple, you run to save your life. Subway Surfers is the story of a naughty boy, an endless runner, who paints graffiti on subways. The core of … Read more

The era of visiting carnivals and arcades may be over, but Prize Claw is a free iOS app that aims to re-create that old time feeling. The main problem is an overly cluttered interface that takes some time to figure out without delivering much of an incentive to keep playing (at least for free).

Prize Claw's interface is packed with ads and other information that made it hard to find the claw controller at first. There is a Help screen with instructions about the game, which helped us get oriented. Apart from the cluttered screen, we also weren't … Read more

It's interesting how an app based on math and logic can tempt users to hit the replay button and hunt for new levels and new challenges. With its well-designed, intuitive interface, Angry Birds proves to be a game you'll want to keep playing.

Angry Birds gets off to a good start, with onscreen guidance for each new level and new feature. Even novice users won't need long before they're ready to play. We liked how it introduces the players to the game and explains why the birds are so angry and why they are after those … Read more

If you thought photo editing on an iPhone was limited by touch and the device's 3.5-inch screen, you must try out HDR FX, a free, intuitive piece of digital photo software designed for the iPhone.

At launch, the app looks like any other app used for taking images, yet it has additional features such as antishake, which is very handy for taking clear pictures. However, HDR FX goes beyond just providing a set of tools with which to take cool pictures. Right after you've snapped an image, the fun begins, as the app begins to analyze it … Read more
