Feral’s Thief: Master Thief Edition – Review

Game, Macintosh, Review 0

Join the continued adventures of the master thief Garrett as he continues his adventures ten years after the end of the prior game. While this is almost into Duke Nukem Forever territory, Thief: Master Thief Edition game was actually worth the wait. From the start there is the same ambiance that the original games had, with lots of shadows and places to hide. The AI in the game can be annoying at times when it decides that a guard may hear something and stick around and peer into the shadows to try and find you. Fortunately, there are things that can be done about those nosey guards.

Looty Dungeon – Review

Game, iPad, iPhone, Review 0

Looty Dungeon takes its visual cue from the 8-bit retro craze that seems to be infecting the App Store over the last few years. (I think Minecraft is to blame, but I don’t know for sure.) Many games that use 8-bit retro graphics are not much to play, and the look and feel is really the only draw. Not so with Looty Dungeon. This is a fun, pick-up-and-play game that will probably have you coming back time after time to get some more in-game coins so that you can buy another character.

Adventures of Poco Eco: Lost Sounds for iOS – Review

Game, iOS, iPad, iPhone, Review 0

Once upon a time, games in iOS were deeply criticized for being bad, annoying, In-App-Purchase generating machines. This was largely accurate, and remains largely true today. But in 2014, a game called Monument Valley punched a hole right through the theory that iOS games had to be this way to succeed. Instead, it focused on beautiful art, deeply rich audio effects and music, outstanding logic puzzles, and inscrutable yet intensely relatable characters.

Air Attack 2 for iOS – Review

Game, iOS, iPhone, Review 0

For me, iOS games can be broken into two categories: games for deep-diving into, and games for playing for 20 minutes here and there. Air Attack 2, by Art In Games, falls into the latter category, and that’s not a knock on it by any means. It’s a beautifully rendered game with fluid gameplay that’s perfect for jumping in and out of quickly.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – Review

Game, Review, Video Games 2

As the resident LEGO Video Game Reviewer here at MyMac.com, it’s my job to review all the new LEGO video games that come out on the Mac. The best part? They are some of my favorite games. The problem? I usually already own the game on the PlayStation months before it is released on the Mac. But thats okay, I will suffer through playing again for the sake of our readers.

XO 7-inch Kids Tablet XO-780 by Vivitar – Review

Android, Apps, Battery, Game, iPad mini, Review, Tablet 0

Out of the box this tablet was very easy to set up. It took me less than 15 minutes to connect to the Internet and set up three user profiles on the tablet. Yes! The XO tablet allows up to three user profiles and one adult administrator account, which was perfect for me and my three daughters. The android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system was a breeze for me, a long time iPad user, to configure, and ever easier for the kids each to log into their own space.

Chasing Yello iOS Game – Review

Apps, Game, iPad, iPad 2, iPhone, iPod Touch, Review 0

Chasing Yello is by far the most addictive game I have ever come across, on any platform. At first I looked upon it as a quick game to pick up when I had a few spare minutes. The reality is those few minutes turned into hours, and then days. Before I knew it I was thoroughly consumed with a game that features a demonic girl, named Mathilda, and her goldfish Yello.
