DEAR INTERNET: Does anyone know any review sites that focus on The Kinds Of Games My Mother Likes on the iPad? “Casual” games, solitaire, gem matching, hidden object, that kind of stuff. I gave her a gift card along with my old iPad, and realized I really have no idea what to suggest grabbing.
An iPad game review site with a decent amount of Mom Games reviews would be fine too. (jayisgames.com comes to mind now that I think about it – any other suggestions?)
Plus if your mom has some app she loves, let me know.
(This is assuming your mom is kinda like mine: in her sixties, not a total technophobe but also not into tech for its own sake.)
There’s TouchArcade; they really are *the* site for iOS games, and hit a goodly number of the ‘mom’ kind of games. That said, they’ve done some very slightly skeezy things (they include what I believe are compensated app-store links to all the games they cover, and this has included games that were accused of plagiarism etc, which just kind of rubs me the wrong way) but not enough to keep me from recommending them to people – just enough for a ‘you might want to do brief homework on this’ caution.
