App of the Week

Zynga, the creators of Words with Friends, have released Crosswords With Friends to the App Store. While not perfect, Crosswords is still the new must have time killing app to install on your iOS device, but first let me warn you that you can't play this game head-to-head like you do with Words. There is a tournament section for weekly rankings but the game is primarily a solo endeavor. You can't directly compete against your friends or solve a puzzle together.

Adult Swim has officially redeemed unicorns by releasing the long awaited Robot Unicorn Attack 3 after Starbucks unsuccessfully tried to end all unicorn careers with its Unicorn Frappuccino.

The third game in the Robot Unicorn Attack is here and that's all that really matters.

Wiz Khalifa's Weed Farm is described as a simulation game where the American rapper teaches you how to "plant, grow, and harvest the finest herb on earth." It reality Weed Farm is more of a clicker where you cultivate different types of cannabis by mindlessly tapping your display. Somehow the game has managed to earn a perfect App Store rating from over 1,000 user reviews since its release a few days ago. Not only is that a lot of reviews for a newly launched gamed, but it's a bit suspicious.

The popular desktop title Age of War 2 is now available for iOS.
