Waterslide 2 iPhone/iPad App Review – Flashy, But Not All That Splashy

When I was approached to review Waterslide 2, it occurred to me I didn’t recall Waterslide 1 (or Waterslide Extreme as I discovered it was called) and upon investigation I realized why – it was the iOS equivalent of an advertorial, disguising a an advert for Barclaycard with a throwaway game.  Fair enough, but something [...]
