Rotato might be the simplest, most difficult game in the App Store

A simple game does not have to mean a puzzle game. Think about how simple arcade games were in the early 1980s. In Pac-Man, all you did was move around, eating pellets and avoiding ghosts.

Rotato is a lot like Pac-Man. Players move around, collecting coins and avoiding stars. Only this game is simpler because you only move tapping the screen, but it is more difficult, because the playing field is much smaller…

Indigo Lake review: this game may scare you to death

When I was in my early 20s, I played Resident Evil for the first time. That game scared the bajeezes out of me. I had to play it with the lights on and the volume down. That was the first time a video game put the fright in me.

Indigo Lake had the same effect on me when I recently played it for the first time. The eerie soundtrack and first-person point of view adds a creepy element that sends shivers down your spine as you look for clues to solving the mystery of the unexplained deaths surrounding the lake...

It has all of the rules and outcomes of a physical board game, but you don’t have to be in the same room to play the game. Thanks to online multiplayer mode, you can even steal from your friend, but you won’t risk having a glass of water thrown at you…
