Blockwick is simple — that said, classing Blockwick as a simplistic title is dangerous. With a focus on ingenious yet logical puzzles with an unhealthy dose of addiction, it’s anything but simplistic. Deeply grounded in logic and progressive thinking, Blockwick keeps you engaged through every puzzle.

Remember Jetpack Joyride? Well that’s a stupid question as it’s leading our community poll for the best app of 2011. Anyway, if you still haven’t experienced the awesomeness that is this never-ending score chaser (I’m currently up to a distance of 4,700m), then here’s your chance. It’s now free. Zip. Nada. Nothing.

Highs of ten degrees today, showery rain forecast – the United Kingdom is hardly known for its tropical paradise credentials. The country’s definition of summer is a soggy barbeque on a damp beach, wrapped up in woolly jumpers and protected by a windbreaker. The sun is certainly an elusive figure.

Us Brits obsess about it. The weather’s the go-to topic when we meet someone new – “nice day we’re having today,” “unseasonably warm, no?” The moment the sun shows itself there’s cause for national celebration. The newspapers report on it, people start walking around half naked and the rest get enough of a taste to fly off to warmer climates for an extended session of heat.

With that context, it shouldn’t surprise you that a UK iOS developer is behind the aptly named Sunshine – Here comes the Sun!, a game all about the rejuvenating rays of Apollo.

The last Kariosoft game we looked at was Grand Prix Story, a delightful motor racing simulator built on the success of the breakout Game Dev Story. Oh! Edo Towns is another ‘stick-to-the-formula’ title from the same Japanese developers keen to simulate every single activity known to man.

It’s an interesting area to avoid until now – after all, Sim City showed us just how popular virtual urban management can be. Surely Kariosoft can add its own unique charm to the subject?

Yes! Junk Jack is out. We first spied the Minecraft-esque 2D title back in July and it’s been one of our most eagerly awaited titles on iOS since. Thankfully, after spending a couple of hours with it, it’s managed to deliver on everything it promised.

Right, night vision goggles at the ready, because Jurassic Park, the latest adventure game from Telltale Games, has been given a release date. Do you really need to be told what Jurassic Park is? Whether you’re familiar with the Michael Crichton novel or the spectacular Spielberg screen adaptation, the popular dinosaur tale touches down on Mac on November 15.

Oh boy, do we want this. It’s no secret we love Game Dev Story and Grand Prix Story. Kariosoft, the studio behind those cutesy addiction-fests has released a new town simulator in Japan. It’s called Zaibatsu Towns and annoying it’s region locked with no indication as to whether it’ll make it to western territories.
