Supermarket Mania

By |2011-07-10T23:03:45-05:00September 9, 2010|iPhone Reviews|

Does anyone remember the show Supermarket Sweep? A wholesome half hour filled with crazed people running around like a herd of wild animals through a supermarket, swiping items off the shelves while desperately loading the carts as fast as humanly possible. Supermarket Mania is almost the same thing, except you take on the stressful role of Nikki, the clerk assigned to stocking the shelves, yelling at teenagers, preventing theft, and of course, cleaning up after people when they throw garbage on the floor...

Top Gun

Yes, it’s exactly the Top Gun you’re probably thinking of this very moment. Get ready to take an exhilarating ride on the highway to the danger zone with this latest title from Paramount Digital Entertainment, packed with weapons, ships, and of course, your favorite 80s soundtrack. Lively graphics and a multitude of enemies are just the beginning for this fast paced flying shooter which attempts to satisfy fans of similar arcade classics...

Geometrix

Is Geometrix an action game? Is it a puzzle title? Does it belong in the list of free apps rather than the paid ones? Only one of these questions deserves a whole hearted “yes,” which is disappointing to say the least. With a collection of three different mini games, Ravenhawk Interactive delivers an overall bland, boring title which doesn’t particularly excel in any specific categories...

Jumbled

Word jumble mania! While it’s certainly not an entirely fresh concept, Drewse concocted their own little spin on a nearly timeless classic puzzle format, along with a couple of twists and turns. There’s something to be said for inexpensive, straightforward titles, and Jumbled hits the mark as far as world puzzles go. Sure, there might already be an avalanche of similar games, but this isn’t just a rehash of Hangman or a crossword puzzle, but something pretty entertaining...
