Scott and Eric return to give us another intrepid edition of AppSlappy. This episode Scott gives us a proper review of Run Roo Run, from the creators of Scribblenauts, and Eric reviews a new movie-trivia game. Not to mention that both of our hosts compare wiki sizes, enough said.

Scott’s Reviews
Run Roo Run - $0.99 on iPhone and $1.99 on iPad - 
Hero Academy - Free on iPhone - 
Blockwick - Free Universal on iPhone and iPad - 
(Five stars if Scott ever won!)

Eric’s Reviews
Invisibles - $0.99 on iPhone and iPad - 
Warp Dash (The Nickle and Dime Game) - $0.99 Universal on iPhone and iPad - 

Check out GTAIII if you have that special touch of vehicular mayhem nostalgia, and OnLive is here for the iPad. Also, George Lucas is a really odd fellow, and Frank Oz is a super nice guy. Finally, if you need an iPad repaired, hit up Digiexpress.

Tonight, Scott brings us his nostalgic review of Sonic CD. This is what all classic video game ports should be; a near pitch-perfect game with especially great controls, so much so that you may actually forget you’re on a touch screen. Also, could it be that some folks at AppSlappy have flipped their opinion of the Path social networking?

Tonight Scott discusses The Nuttcracker Musical Storybook and the new (old) Bejeweled.

The Nutcracker Musical Storybook - $2.99 on iPhone and
iPad - 

A great ‘painty’ art style with the classic music, albeit on a bit on the midi side. Though the faces are kinda strange and kids may get a little bored with the pacing, it feels like, well, Nutcracker.


Bejeweled - $0.99 on iPhone only - 

Sadly, it’s not Bejeweled 3 and there are a lot of modes that are in 3 that aren’t here. But, it’s everything people love about Bejeweled (including Blitz) plus badges and achievements.
