Blast Billiards Touch Updated After a Year, Was it Worth the Wait?

I reviewed Blast Billiards Touch more than a year ago, so it was somewhat surprising to see an update appear on iTunes over the weekend. Blast Billiards Touch started life as a popular Flash game, but the iPhone version was hobbled by inaccurate aiming and some very frustrating levels. I gave it just 2/5 at [...]

Peggle Update Provides Great Opportunity to Revisit!

Peggle was one of the very first iPhone games I became addicted to, and I played through it several times on my iPhone 3G. Although I purchased the Peggle Nights update when it was released, I never got around to playing it and I don’t think I’ve ever played it on my iPhone 4! This shows [...]
