spunkSpunk and Moxie is a fun and unique platformer that stars a couple of piles of goo grown in a secret lab by an evil scientist. The scientist was developing a formula to give himself extreme athletic powers and that formula mutated into the gooey duo known as Spunk and Moxie.

Real Racing 3 Hits App Store, Free To Download but will Cost a Fortune

RR3

EA Games has finally launched the much-anticipated Real Racing 3 for iPad. It is better looking than its two predecessors and, at a download price of free, is potentially the most expensive game in the trilogy.

Real Racing revolutionized mobile gaming by being the first game in its class graphically. Not only was it beautiful to look at, it was also fun to play. The follow up, Real Racing 2, was just as fun and had even more improved graphics. Now that the new iPad has a Retina display screen and a processor that is at least twice as fast as the third-generation model, the game developers at EA have maxed out the tablets performance.
