Forget About Facebook, Download The Birthdays App.
June 13th, 2010 | Connor Turner

Without question, one of the universal benefits of Facebook is the friendly reminder when a friend or family member’s birthday approaches. For many, this is the basis for why we find Facebook so beneficial. But with the growing backlash against Facebook’s privacy issues and the growing number of users abandoning the service, wouldn’t it be nice if there was an independent tool for the iPhone which could help you remember this important task?

Cue Chrome Dome Software’s Birthdays App.

May 22nd, 2010 | Connor Turner

Fresh off the heals of the Calgary Comicbook Expo is a new app for all levels of comic enthusiasts from The Comic Book Bin.

For those unfamiliar with The Comic Book Bin, it is a Calgary based online mecca for everything comic related. Started up in 2002 by local entrepreneur Hervé St-Louis, the Comic Book Bin is a self proclaimed independent site where respectful and well-researched discourse on comic books is promoted, free of petty feuds, personal attacks, gossips and industry chit chat – Essentially if you’re a comic book fan, this is your online home.

Early this year, The Comic Book Bin made massive waves in the online world with the release of their first iPhone App. The Comic Book Bin App is essentially a massive mobile information hub which allows users to find local comic book stores, the closest comic book expo and search the Comic Book Bin’s impressive catalog of comic book reviews and editorials.

Hootie Hookups
April 18th, 2010 | Russ Fee

Since the dawn of civilization humans have strived to procreate with the strongest and healthiest of their peers. Also since the dawn of civilization, the weakened masses have tried to kill the vibe and keep sexy people like you and I from gettin’ down. It’s time to take the power back, and BigStack Studios’ latest offering aims to do just that.

Hottie Hookups is a strategy game involving task management that works in a similar way to the developers previous hit games Sally’s Salon and Sally’s Spa. You are tasked with giving the powers of natural selection a helping hand by getting the sexy members of society together whilst keeping the vibe-killing nerds from wrecking the action.

Own This World
February 23rd, 2010 | Russ Fee

The World Chico, and Everything in It

As Tony Montana can attest, the business of world ownership can get a little messy, a little dangerous and all kinds of illegal. Calgary developers Big Nerds in Disguise aim to let us all embrace our inner Scarface in a much more acceptable way with their app Own This World.

The world of geo-dependent online games (or GDOG) has been slowly growing over the past year and is set break through to the mainstream with apps such as Foursquare and Gowalla. Own This World looks to set itself apart from the pack, not by focusing on building social relationships, but by tearing those relationships to the ground, destroying the survivors and salting the earth so nothing can grow.
