Appletell reviews Mini Ninjas for Mac OS X

An evil samurai is bent on taking over the world. Ninjas sent to fight him have disappeared. It’s now up to the young Hiro and his friend Futo to find the missing ninjas and ultimately defeat the warlord in his Fortress of Doom. Sounds awesome, right? It kind of is…even if the heroes look eight-year-olds in Halloween costumes. I kept wanting to give them a Zagnut bar.

Appletell reviews Bioshock for Mac OS X

You want to beware a fellow who’s motto is “No gods or kings. Only man.” Chances are that such a man would fill those voids himself if given the chance. That’s pretty much what you’re up against in Bioshock, Feral’s latest Mac release. Bioshock is one of the prettiest, most enjoyable, violent and disturbing games I’ve ever played on the Macintosh.

App it Up: Shri Vishnu Prarthana and Shri Durga Prarthana

Shri Vishnu Prarthana and Shri Durga Prarthana allow you to pay tribute to the Hindu deities anywhere you have your iPhone or iPod touch.

I don’t know what it is about the Europeans that they can make racing seem so much more interesting than it can ever be here in America. I suppose next they’re going to tell me that the popularity of soccer is justified if it’s being played anywhere outside of the U.S.?

Appletell Review – Fable: The Lost Chapters for Macintosh

It’s not long into Fable: The Lost Chapters before you realize you’re in for something different. As if the words “Action/RPG” aren’t already enough to warm the soul of Mac gamers everywhere (oh, we’ve tasted action and we’ve tasted RPGs, but we rarely have them served in the same meal), the dramatic conclusion to the otherwise light and cartoony introduction will let you know that maybe this game is special.

And it is.

Find out why after the break.
