The simulation cooking game Cook, Serve, Delicious! was originally launched for the PC in 2012, and it has slowly gained a large following after making its way to iOS and eventually Steam.

The original service was created by two former Facebook employees, Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever, in 2010. The app allows users to upvote or downvote answers to questions, suggest edits to answers and write blog posts and reviews. Users can then share their favorite content with their friends and followers on Twitter, Facebook, text message and email.

Quora also features a stat system where users can track how well their posts are being received, and it allows Quora members to follow other users they find interesting in the community. It's basically Yahoo Answers and Twitter all rolled into one, but what separates Quora from these other services is that the content is curated by the community.

The popular Super Stickman Golf 2 is free for a limited time on the Apple App Store. The game is a golf physics title where you must complete various courses to gain experience and upgrade your golfer to advance through 7 different levels. You can also earn in-game money or complete achievements to unlock various power-ups and different golf balls to help improve your skills.

The game features 32 creative courses, like Sticky Land, where players must make shots while sticking to bubblegum covered walls. It also includes a multiplayer mode, a race mode and the ability to improve your golfer and buy him/her funny hats with special abilities.
