AppVee:
The iPhone has had some awesome casual games through the years with apps like Bejeweled, Peggle, and many more. Blokus is a game from the giant developer Gameloft looking to set itself up as the next hit casual game in the app store. The game started out as a board game in the year 2000 which eventually spawned a variety of different games and eventually videogames. The whole object of the game is to be the last person able to make a move.
John Bedford (Modojo): A new Thursday brings another crop of brand spanking new mobile games to the App Store. We'll be bringing you our comprehensive guide to the best new paid games later on this morning. For now, here's our pick of the best best new titles that won't cost you a single cent to download.
PS Blog EU: For most of the Gameloft crew, board games are deeply ingrained in our childhood memories. Whether it involved picking up our first chess piece or throwing backgammon dice, we all hold fond memories of playing board games. With consoles like the PlayStation 3 offering a modern twist to various traditional board games, it can be a great way to play familiar titles for that nostalgic feeling.
Quoting Movemodo's review:
"For $4.99/£3.99, there is a bit of family fun to be had at a great price. Any fans of board and puzzle games will find that this will fit right into their collection, but in the end Blokus is just a virtual board game without many changes. If you already own the physical game, you might consider blocking this from your collection. Be sure to check out the demo before making the purchase to see if this block-laying game suits you - just be ready to ditch your Move controller."
