iOS

Time is limited. Apps are plentiful. How can you make sense of the ever-increasing number of new games in the App Store?

Well, by reading Pocket Gamer, of course. But we can't possibly cover everything, and there are some games that just don't fit in our wheelhouse. Thankfully, our friends over at 148Apps are here to save the day.

Take a look at some of the casual games that have caught the attention of the 148Apps team...

Dream Catchers: The Beginning HD
By G5 Entertainment

"Some insensitive controls aside, and Dream Catchers: The Beginning is a fun enough Hidden Object game for fans of the genre." (Jennifer Allen)

Western 1849
By Slynq Interactive

"Western 1849 is an average, repetitive shooting game. Playing it winds up feeling like a kick from a bronco before very long." (Nadia Oxford)

Bladesmith
By Waterlily Studio

"Bladesmith's sharp ideas are dulled by borderline incomprehensible presentation." (Jordan Minor)

Minerollr
By Jan Kovac

"Minerollr puts a new spin - and a new layer of difficulty - on the classic Minesweeper formula. Hardcore fans rejoice!" (Nadia Oxford)

Gun Truck

Chris is a little frightened that he is the oldest writer on the 148Apps staff, but maybe there's someone else out there who remembers when a Mac Plus was cutting edge and the Newton was nothing short of miraculous.
