It's time to get your exterminator's hat out, because the air is full of flies that have nothing better to do than torment you by laughing and sticking their tongues out at you.

Tilt To Live is a great example of the necessary evolution of the "dodge 'em all" genre of game play. No longer do you have to take your invasion of privacy by unwanted elements lying down. Now you can fight back with some really cool weapons. It's time to tilt to live...

Ever bought a game at the App Store just because it was 99 cents? I do quite often, and I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on some of them with you. This is hopefully going to be a regular feature for me now on TechnoBrains, but I thought I'd start it out with a random sampling of games I picked up "just because" they were 99 cents.

Rating 4.33 out of 5 [?]First there were bazooka toting worms, then came angry snails, and now we have Slug Wars.  Unlike the first two which are clearly Scorched Earth clones, however, Slug Wars takes a simpler approach to the strategy genre.  Unfortunately, while the game looks good and has some interesting unit types, it’s ultimately [...]
