When I was at the Battroborg Settle the Score event in New York I met Rich, Rich works with companies that produce kids games for iOS. He sent me a loaner iPad 2 loaded up with a couple of games for me to try out and review. Opinions of the games are 100% my own.
The first game that I tried out was Monkey Preschool Fix-It. This is a good app for kids who are old enough to know how to use the iPad.

When I was approached to check out these Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods I was intrigued. So I said sure and two sets arrived at my house.

Once I opened the packages and started playing, I got it, it made sense to me. I play a couple of games where physical characters are imported into the game for play and this is very similar in this vein except you can actually play with the telepods figures because there is no technology inside them that can get broken. In fact you are encouraged to launch the figures at other plastic pieces and figures in order to knock them over. Continue reading Review: Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods→
