By | November 2, 2012 | No comment yet

Thanks to its record of creating kids edu-apps that are consistently tops in creativity and UI/UX, I expect more from Nosy Crow than I might from most iOS developers. With Animal SnApp: Farm, Nosy Crow has found a way to give young readers six different stories that she can “unlock” by matching correctly matching a two-piece puzzle of the animal featured in the story.

Many children will enjoy the silliness created by combinations of dog and pig, lamb and hen, or goat and cow, yet it’s not too hard to get a match, and thus begin listening to one of the six stories that features these animals.

The Walking Dead: The Game is Like Watching An Episode of The Walking Dead- iPad App Review

In 2003, Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore turned the comic book world upside-down with an independent story about a guy who wakes up in a hospital, surrounded by the undead. In 2010, the world was, again, blown away by a drama about a family, struggling to survive in a world where the dead eat the living. In April of 2012, a video game hit the market that focuses on the characters, not the action, of a group of people forced together through desperate need. The Walking Dead: The Game is not a zombie killing arcade game. It is a survival game where the choices you make influence the way the story unfolds.

Players watch the drama unfold through the eyes of Lee. As walkers attack, Lee must find safety. You must help him decide what to do in each situation. Sometimes, he has the opportunity to hide in a house or run. Other times, he could team up with strangers or leave them to fend for themselves.

Superman, Batman, The Flash, and all your favorite DC super heroes are having their own Halloween celebration. Something strange is going on in the old house where the children are gathered. The kids think the house is really haunted, but the Super Friends know better.

This isn’t like your typical interactive kid’s book. Instead of flipping pages, the story moves along more like a movie. For example, in one scene, the Super Friends are standing under a tree, talking to the kids. In the next scene, the image is zoomed in for a close up on Superman.
