Michael Jeans
Michael has been an Apple user since system 6 and an Internet aficionado back when it was just email, Usenet and gopher. He and his son play tons of board, card and dice games as well as casual games on the Xbox 360 and iPhone. He is marchpumpkin nearly everywhere except XBL where he is marchpumpkins because MS sucks and won't let him have back his old gamertag.
If the presence of DRM would allow you to legally get NYT bestsellers for free or read them for only $0.99, wouldn't you supprt that? The fact that Apple is using FairPlay to protect eBooks may make that possible.
Bounce and match bricks together in this cute,Tetris-style game. Gelex is not just a fun game, but an interesting one - since it was coded by 78 year-old GrannyCoder, Marie Bila.
Picture Safe has been the #1 privacy app in the Utility category for over a year now. For good reason, too, Picture Safe has tons of features for keeping your...err...secret photos, secret. It does have some flaws, though.

The Cat in the Hat brings all the fun with Sally and me and Thing Two and Thing One.
The great master of kid's storybook rhymes has TWO books in the App Store's Top 25 list, The Cat in the Hat and Dr. Seuss's ABC. Do the iPhone versions live up to the original books, or perhaps even make them better?
Pull strings on your puppets, sing opera, defend your castle and reign on Broadway! Battle of Puppets is a quirky Castle Defense style game with gorgeous graphics, and a premise that feels much more satisfying than, "Go forth and destroy thine enemy."
Time to get excited about Backflip Studio's sequel, Ragdoll Blaster 2. We lost ourselves for days in a preview version and are here to give you the skinny.
There's no version of Magic: the Gathering for the iPhone...yet...but there are lots of apps to help you play the game. Some keep track of life, some track your decks, and some track prices of individual cards. TCGBuddy fulfills some of these and a whole lot more.
The App Store is full of traffic control games. Pile Up! added itself to the mix late last year having you direct traffic through one of three intersections. Does it add anything new and exciting to the genre? Or is it merely more of the same?
Is Garters & Ghouls and its sexy heroine, Marie DuPois, good enough to bump Minigore, Alive 4 Ever, and iDracula out of their slots as the App Store's best twin stick shooters? Read on to find out.
More Towers! More Zombies! More Carnage! Zombie Attack! Second Wave adds lots of extras into the popular mix of the original Zombie Attack, but is it worth $4 or should you stick with the first one?
Fling! offers what a lot of puzzle games cannot: casual and arcade modes. This adds re-playability value to a game that is already challenging and gripping.
Line drawing games are a growing genre on the iPhone and Fare City: First Shift is a great new addition. Though it has a few flaws, its unique play style makes it worth getting now before the developers improve the game and up to the price.
Doodle Jump is a must have game for anyone who enjoys casual games on their iPhone. Cute graphics, accurate controls, and straight-forward pick-up and play concept makes it endlessly re-playable.
Another Match-3 game for your iPhone? Nope. Cash Cow offers a few new twists on the genre with a coin collecting motif and a couple of mini-games to play.
Need to liven up board meetings? Put down annoying commentators? Want to humiliate your friends and enemies? You need the rimshots, pr0n noises, gunshots, crickets and evil clowns that Zing! gives you.
