The popularity of Angry Birds is almost stratospheric at this point, so rip-off games make sense. This non-Rovio-approved app puts some of your favorite birds in their least exciting adventure yet. When it works, Angry Birds Adventure has you match tiles with the characters to clear the board. Sadly, you'll be lucky to even make it through a single game as the app tends to crash.

This app only takes a few seconds to download to your phone as it's quite small in size. Once it's there, you won't see any opening sequence or tutorial, you'… Read more

Looking for a fun game for your next 2-minute break? 1945 for Mac installs on your Mac dashboard as a simple widget and lets you revive memories of a well-known old-school arcade airplane shooting game. It is fun to play even though the airplane is not exactly quick to maneuver.

While testing the game, we found two minor downsides, which don't really interfere with the gameplay, but are still worth mentioning as a part of the overall game … Read more

For whatever reason, the iPad originally lacked a handful of features included on the iPhone, including a calculator and a clock function, both of which are extremely useful.

One such free tool is Stop Watch Free. Available for the iPad, Stop Watch Free mimics the basic interface and functions of the stopwatch included with the iPhone's operating system. With … Read more

While there is a free version of the program available for download, it only allows viewing of the first three pages of an XPS file. Those working with larger files will need to pay for the full version. Even for people using XPS files regularly, this seems to … Read more

With about 50 million things to do each day, it can be hard to fit in any creative projects.

To begin The Starving Artist, you'll have to create a profile, which requires a bit of personal information such as your first and last name, the state/province where you live, and your e-mail and … Read more

Matching games are a great way to get kids to practice their memory skills. Super Match not only teaches memory, but also lets kids practice their letters, colors, and numbers. Adults will also find it a fun game for practicing memory skills.

Super Match has six categories to choose from, each of which focuses on a different theme: Alphabet, Autumn, Colors, Cute Critters, Numbers, and Winter. We started with Alphabet first and were greeted with six tiles. Tapping each one flips it over. At the bottom of the screen, you can switch between Easy and Hard modes, and select the … Read more
