Nothing’s been appealing to me on the iPhone over the last few days. Partly because I’m ill, I’m sure, but also because there haven’t been any interesting new releases lately. So, while watching The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and the big baseball documentary series by Ken Burns all I did was idly mess about

Oh my. This was so peaceful and so lovely when I played it on Saturday night. Half an hour melted away like delicious chocolate ice cream. Such a wonderful toy set. I love it so, so much. (I took a video, but it failed to upload to YouTube. Sorry.)

A break from the usual list of the ten iPhone games I judge to be the best, here’s a list of ten games to play during this month. All will be great games, but they’ll be selected based on a mix of quality, novelty and relevance to the month’s events. Angry Birds Angry Birds is

Spend some Noby Noby Boy time on both versions over the weekend. The iPhone version had the most play overall, because I’ve always got it in the palm of my hand, but I had a great time with the PS3 version, too. Considering how simple both versions are, it’s amazing how long I can spend

Given the limitations of the app, I spent an awfully long time messing around with Noby Noby Boy last night. Just flicking BOY around and twisting him around objects, making him wander around photos and using the real-time view through the iPhone’s camera to have him crawl around my house.

You can play around with BOY with tilt and touch, stretching him, splitting him, having him grab random objects and listening to a bouncy soundtrack. It may

Normal blogging will be resumed shortly, but to mark the new year, here are the best ten games of 2009… that I played. (So no Modern Warfare 2 or Uncharted 2, for example.) It was hard to whittle it down to a top ten, but I think I got there. Unfortunately, it means that 33rd

We’ve reached Mars! I got another couple of trophies today! I really, really love this game. I didn’t think I’d play it as much as I have. I really thought it would be a short-lived novelty, but I keep coming back. I played it last night, I played it more today. It’s just wonderful escapism.

Played about for a bit between watching Mamma Mia and Hellboy 2 on Blu-Ray. Mamma Mia wasn’t… um… well, I’m not really the target audience. I’d probably enjoy the stage show more, I reckon. Hellboy 2 was really rather good, though I kept dozing off, because I’m very, very old. Noby Noby Boy was, as

I’d heard there was an update, so thought I better download it. Once I had, I thought I’d have a quick go. Forty-five minutes later I managed to stop playing. I do wish this had sold more, partly because it’s so lovely, partly because I want to reach Mars one day.
