  • A review of Boomtime Baseball by Distinctive Developments for iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. Boomtime Baseball pitches great, but misses the perfect game with broken multiplayer access and too much reliance on IAP.

What’s inside this episode:

  • A review of Plunder! HD by Big Fish Games for iPad. This cool casual game has lots of spark and visual candy to add to the strategy element that makes you want to buy that extra coinage. Just ignore multiplayer and you’ll have a great time!
  • A review of Musketeers: Constance’s Adventure HD by Nevosoft for iPad. Nevosoft dared to stretch their hidden object game by adding a dress-up feature that is actually fun to play with, then forgot about making sure the rest of the game actually worked well.
