It’s time for another exciting installment of Sound Stage. Whether we talk about Cat Piano apps, analog keyboards that plug into your iPad, or epic DJ equipment, we love music and aren’t afraid to show it. Last week, we told you about an app that incorporates a bit of music history with anagram style puzzle games. Musaic Box may not require that you know how to play an instrument, but it sure helps if you know what each one sounds like.

This week, we go hands on with another of IK Multimedia’s new toys. We just can’t get enough of the music-loving software and hardware developers over at IK Multimedia. We recently had an in-depth review of their newest MIDI-compatible app, iLectric Piano. Talk about going down memory lane.

Super Stickman Golf 2 is a Hole in One – iPad Game Review

stickmangolfSuper Stickman Golf 2 is a follow up to developer Noodlecake’s original Super Stickman Golf game, which debuted in late 2010.

On the surface a golf game does not sound particularly revolutionary or exciting, and the Super Stickman Golf series does not sport particularly eye catching graphics, but Super Stickman Golf 2, like the first game, is amazingly addictive. Make sure to keep an eye on the clock while you play or you might just end up playing through the night to get that last set of holes under par.
