Ms. Particle-Man

3Charming and amusing, but brutally old-school in terms of visuals and difficulty, so only buy if you’re prepared to be seriously challenged.
Ms. Particle-Man Review
by on November 2, 2012
This indie effort tasks you with discovering the Higgs boson, which is lurking in three Large Hadron Colliders, apparently comprised of ancient video games. The aim is simple: use gestural controls to have your bow-wearing particle (an amusingly cheeky take on Ms. Pac-Man) grab each screen’s ‘photon’, and not get killed. The second of those things is very, very tricky.
Early levels are swipe-based, with you battling skiddy physics and trying to avoid death. But the second collider adds awkward and frustrating jumps, and the third collider is just simply merciless. Because of this, ‘Higgs’ will likely remain as elusive to us as real-world scientists, but we’ll persevere, because the game is charming and rewarding.

Whale Trail Frenzy
And you will know us from the trail that we lead...
Android
Appy geek
Unbelievable tech-ers.
Android
Need For Speed: Most Wanted
Is there really another need for speed?
iPad
My Photo Books
Fans of skeuomorphism, scrapbooks, and flowery photo frames will be delighted. Otherwise this app is fairly limited in its usefulness.
iPad
Mutant Storm
Solid and respectable old-skool twin-stick action that’ll provide a challenge, whatever the weather.
iPhone
Music Unlimited
As a streaming service, it's great, and has some handy features. But as an overall music service, its lack of offline playback holds it back.
iPhone
Munch 5-A-Day
Cute and fun fruit-and-veg aggregator for health-conscious eaters.
iPad
MultiPonk for iPad
A simple idea, beautifully coded. A, must-have title for, the iPad.

Ghost Trick
Unique, amusing and often comically dark, Ghost Trick is a thoroughly entertaining tale.
