iPad Game Review: Virtual City HD
A couple of months ago I reviewed the iPhone version of Virtual City, noting that my only real complaint was the lack of a sandbox mode.

ElectroPocket Release Universal Version of BugMe!
No, that exclamation mark isn’t there because I’m one of those people who’s free and easy with ‘em; it’s just that the bang symbol, as us old UNIX hacks call it, is part of the name of the BugMe! note taking and reminder app. BugMe! is a pretty popular sticky note/reminder/alarm app that now is [...]
