Disappointed that Flappy Bird is gone from the App Store? If you didn't download the game or deleted it and are having withdraws, try the next best clone - Splashy Fish - The Adventure of a Flappy Tiny Bird Fish By Massimo Guareschi.

Just like Flappy Bird, but swimming, instead of flying. You must continually tap the screen in just the right amount to dodge your way past columns.


The game is just as annoying and impossible as Flappy Bird was. Also as more incentive to download Splashy Fish - The game features 5 trophies to unlock, which will make your fish even cooler:

- Golden Wing  at 10 pts
- King of the Ocean Crown at 20 pts
- Shining Beak at 30 pts
- Dark Knight Suite at 40 pts
- Rockstar Glasses at 50 pts


Splashy Fish is FREE and available for iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch).
- Download Splashy Fish now.

Flappy Bird, the annoying popular game that make $50,000 per day, is dead. The app died sometime yesterday (or today, depending on where you are in the world), supossibly by the pressure of being popular.

But lets no be depressed. Instead, why not download some Flappy Bird clones! I'm not really going to get into detail about these games, because expect them to see very similar to the Flappy Bird game.

Now you can be proud that you couldn't achieve the score yourself, and had to result to hacking a dumb game!


Flappy Bird is FREE, and available for iOS and Android devices.

The Power Rangers are still going strong, and kicking the butt of evil space alien villains, while learning to work together as a team. The newest series, Power Rangers Super Megaforce, will begin in the USA on February 15th 2014 on Nickelodeon.

To get into the fighting spirit, why not download an app for free? From February 6th, the Power Rangers Legends (by Saban Brands LLC) game for iOS has gone free! (saving of $0.99).



The Legends game starts right back at the beginning, with the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. You can play as the Green, Pink and unlock the Red Mighty Morphin' Ranger.

Power Rangers Legends features power-ups, weapons, boosts, different gear... that can be bought in the 'store'. And as the the game doesn't really pay out well and they aren't shy about offering you some in-app purchases to get some extra coins, powers and so on. Not a great thing for a supposably kids game.

And this game is not that easy, and can actually be quite hard... Not a great game for the easily frustrated.

The graphics are pretty good, 3D (not the glasses kind), Rangers sounds aren't accurate and are not from the show.

I wish I could say it's a fun, awesome game, but its not. It's too difficult for a kids game. With too many easily available in-app purchases.

But, hey, the game is currently free! So for the retro fans out there, download the game - it's fun for a little nostalgia.

And for fun, here is the original Green Ranger himself, "Tommy", playing the game on a iPhone. Also, if you're a fan of the show - go check out and like, Jason David Frank's Facebook page!





Power Rangers Legends

Available for: iOS (universal).

Price: $0.99, Currently Free (as of Feb 6th 2014).

Monopoly is a old favorite, board game, best known for the game lasting hours! Well this new iOS version of the game, should fix that problem! This new version is, Monopoly Millionaire. The aim of this game is not to get the other players bankrupted, but to be the first player to reach 1 Million Monopoly Dollars!

This is a much faster-paced game. This version is also features new game-play features. You can,  "Trade properties on the sly, force powerful land-grabbing deals..." Basically you and your opponent can steal property from each other... I'm still working out the new features.  

If you've played any of the other Monopoly games on iOS before, this one keeps the familiar game-play interface, but with some new graphics.

The Chance and Community Chest squares have all new cards to offer. You can get a card that allows you to just say no to rent, roll the dice to get a chance to win at the casino... There's also this new 'Fortune' feature that I'm not really sure what it does, but I think it's like the Community Chess cards...

Player-able Monopoly pieces on this game as also now upgrade-able. The pieces include; A plane, Boat, Car, and Bike.

Property squares in the game includes names; Paradise Island, Ski Mountain, Sunshine Bay, Showtime Blvd, Movie District, Adventure Park, Dream Avenue, Aqua Park Resort, and many more...


If you feel the game is over too quick, you can change the end goal to 2 million. Or if the game is too easy to win, you can change the difficulty settings.

This new version will take a few games to get used to. There are quite a few changes, that the old players of the game may be confused with.  
Few issues with the game. For one, the computer seems to always take the first turn. Also the computers roll of the dice is also good, while mine is always either a low number or one that will land on property of other players. Seems a little rigged at times. Also with the U.I. (user interface), I'm not a fan of the game-log-text displaying over the game-board, the writing clashes and is hard to see and read at times.

In conclusion. The game is okay. If you already own a Monopoly iOS / Android game, I don't think there's a need to rush out and go buy this one, but if you don't - it's a nice game to start your Monopoly collection.


MONOPOLY Millionaire is priced at $2.99 for iPhone, $4.99 for iPad & $0.99 for Android. You can buy the games from the App Store and Google Play Store.
