Monkey Island 2 Is What All iPad Gaming Should Be

I love Lucasarts’ graphic adventures. I played them all back in the 90s: Indy, Day of the Tentacle, and my favorite: Monkey Island. But even putting personal taste aside, Monkey Island 2 defines what smart, awesome iPad gaming should be. Lucasarts’ graphic adventures are legendary. The humor, the graphics, the animation, the puzzles… whoever plays…

If You Buy an iPad Mag, It Might As Well Be Popular Mechanics

The latest big magazine iPad app is here: Popular Mechanics. It’s very possibly the best.
