Posted 09/08/2011 at 2:29pm | by Nic Vargus As I prepare next week's amazing Peggle HD GameTime, I need a few breaks from the color-frenzied, peg-bouncing action on my iPad. My co-workers, on the other hand, are in desperate need of a break from the wonderful world of shipping a magazine. So we've opted to take those breaks with you, our equally game-crazy readers. This week, we're taking a unique opportunity to challenge our readers to a few of our favorite games. If you think you can beat us at our own game, keep reading. Flo will be playing Words with Friends. Beware, she's playing on an Android phone and can drop more four-letter words than a sailor. Username: Ohthatflo Susie will be playing Carcassonne. She wants me to warn you that she is literally just starting (so go easy on her, at least for a few rounds). Username: Sfsooz Ray Read More

Posted 12/31/2010 at 1:47pm | by Roberto Baldwin We thought about throwing a bunch of hardware on the floor and letting our pets pick the winner. Sure that sounds awesome in theory, but the bosses said we were being lazy, that we needed to put our animals away and get back to work. By the way, they picked the MacBook Air. Pets love the Macbook Air. A piece of paper that fell into the pile came in a close second. So here is the top wares for 2010 as picked by the Mac|Life editors.

Here’s the plan – I have a quick business trip planned to Paris for just 3 days and 2 nights – can I get by, me, a HEAVY computer user, for that time with just an iPad? What equipment do I need to do so? What things won’t I be able to do? Sounds like a pretty good test of the functionality of the device and a great way to review the 3G iPad for travel use on a business trip. Let’s set up the testing process. The equipment I have with is the iPad 3G, an external battery to make sure I’m covered for the long flights, the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, a case and a bag. For back up, I have my Macbook, and my iPhone. Thats a lot of Apple devices in one bag. I hope I don’t have problems with security. iPad 3G The iPad 3G gives me Read More

By Jeff Scott on May 8th, 2010 This weekend, we're going to have fun in another brain game. This time, it's a game similar to Risk, Strategery. This weekend, we’re going to have fun in another brain game. This time, it’s a game similar to Risk, Strategery. Strategery is a land battle game where you battle up to 4 other players on random maps of various sizes. You start out controlling an equal part of the world map and battle to control more. You initiate a battle against another country on the board and then automatic dice rolls determine the winner. You turn continues until you have done all of the valid battles you wish. After your turn you can reinforce your troops in the countries that you still control to give you stronger forces for the next round. The game continues until one player or the other obliterates the others Read More

Posted 04/29/2010 at 1:56pm | by Ray Aguilera With 185,000 apps and counting, the App Store is a vast warehouse of digital goodies for your iPhone (and now iPad too). But like most mega-marts, the sheer size of it all makes the good stuff harder to find. We’ve scoured the Store, and found the best apps to help you use your iPhone to it’s fullest potential. Whether it’s games you seek, or productivity tools, we’ve got you covered. As it turns out, there really is an app for that, no matter what that is. The iPhone and iPod touch brought back fun to videogaming, with developers focussing on innovation, affordability, and novelty. Touchscreen and accelerometer controls also force designers to think different, resulting in games that are a glorious collision of classic and cutting-edge gameplay and technology. --Craig Grannell Steph Thirion · $2.99 Eliss is the perfect game for the iPhone’s Read More

With the increased screen real estate of the iPad, it’s the perfect device for playing board games. If you haven’t had a chance to browse some of the great titles available on the App Store, here’s some of our favorite board games to get you started.

Similar to the iPhone version, you can play against your friends locally or over a local network. Scrabble is $9.99.

iPhone and iPod touch users who just added Apple’s third device to their inventory of gadgets know that the out-of-pocket expense on the iPad itself could eventually pale in comparison to the total cost spent on applications. For those of us left with much less discretionary income after purchasing our pricey product, we need to maximize our iPad app budget. Thankfully Apple promised that most the applications we already know and love would work on the iPad too. Practice has proven a tad disappointing with some of these apps, but we have found a number of iPhone games that sparkle on the big screen. Here are five that you should definitely try out on the big screen. What other iPhone/iPod touch games have you found to look beautiful on the iPad? Some iPhone games just look amazing and play spectacularly on the iPad even though there may not be an iPad Read More
