Review by Matt S. After eight Fighting Fantasy game books and innumerable others (either from its own Gamebook Adventures franchise or other third party authors), Tin Man Games has the choose-your-own-adventure gamebook style down pat.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Wars and Battles has the potential to be the biggest wargame app on the Apple iPad, because it is not limiting itself to any one single era of conflict. There are many great wargames out there, such as Shenandoah’s Battle of the Bulge or Slitherine’s Panzer…
