Two weeks ago, the most popular show on PBS launched the first episode of its third season. The 90-minute episodes are possibly the most popular versions of Sherlock Holmes since Robert Downey Junior donned the cap. Frankly, I think the television show is better.
Sherlock: The Network HD is a puzzle game that stars Benedict Cumberbatch (Holmes) and Martin Freeman (Watson). Join the detecting duo as they solve crimes, stir up trouble, and act like smarty pants…
Now that the Super Bowl is over, and pro football is no more, the attention of many sports fans will now turn to basketball. College teams are just a month or so away from the big March Madness tournament, and the NBA is just two weeks away from All-Star weekend.

The actions are assigned using Activator and can be applied to all stock or third-party apps. Take a look…

In this article, we list the best iPhone games with controller support that we think are the cream of the crop.
Well, after weeks of complaining about dry skies, my hometown finally got its first wet day. Unfortunately, the rain did not last more than a few hours, but something is better than nothing. I immediately took a shower. I probably used up any water that may have collected during the short rainfall. Oh, well.
This week, lots of cool apps and games made their way into the App Store. If you need a new calendar, love John Woo, or want to follow the winter Olympics, we’ve got a list you might find to be worth a read…

Fans of Realmac Software's Clear to-do app who've always wanted its gestural user interface in a calendar app need look no further than Peek Calendar for iPhone, $1.99 in the App Store. It's the calendar humanized, as developer Square Mountains puts it.

One of may favorite interactions: the shading gesture which allows you to see some Peek's life events. Check out Peek Calendar in a sweet promotional video included right after the break...

Ever since Apple updated its mobile operating system to iOS 7, I’ve both loved and hated the parallax effect. I love having moving backgrounds via the dynamic wallpaper. I love having images that appear to move with me. However, I hate that the technology has broken my ability to use my own photos without needing some third party app.
Wallgram is one of those third party apps that make it possible for you to use your own pictures as wallpaper while maintaining the cool parallax feature. Plus, you can use images from Instagram…
Nearly two decades ago, Namco launched a fun little role-playing game that incorporated traditional plot-heavy story development with real-time battle engagement. By 2006, the title made it to the U.S. where it generated a small, but fierce following.
The English version of Tales of Phantasia finally launched in the App Store last week. It has garnered praise for existing on Apple’s mobile platform, while simultaneously being cursed for its free-to-play format. Fans of the original are raging about having to pay in game for a free download, instead of paying full price up-front. What where they thinking?...
