My Blog

Welcome to my blog that will talk about apps and/or games.

For the games, I will have three sections for each;
1. How the game works (standard for most reviews)
2. What this game is like (compare to other games that you might have played)
3. Who would like this game (What the target audience is for this game like age or gender)

For the apps, I will try and review several apps of the same type (mostly iphone) and give a ordered list of my preference wit pros and cons. I will have the version I reviewed but not the price as that can change at any point.

Hopefully this will help people decide if they would like the game or app.
