The Appera: While the game itself may seem boring and stupid, it is realistically quite fun and capable. The game is also an odd mix of game genres, match-3 and money management.
Do you dream of producing your own Hollywood movie? And, instead of plunking down cash, playing "match-3" games to fund it? If that’s the case, Namco's Tinseltown Dreams for the iPhone is the only way in which your dream can become reality.
As long as you don't go in expecting an involved simulation of the film industry, Tinseltown Dreams: The 50s doesn't disappoint. It delivers exactly what it promises, no more, no less. If bright, pretty visuals and some casual puzzle solving are what you want from a game, then this one is a safe bet. Its price-tag ($7) means you can't really go wrong. On the other hand, if the casual genre doesn't appeal to you, you're better off spending your money on a box of ice cream, a movie ticket, or 17 9mm rounds.

Now you may be thinking, another match three game, there are so many of those, but Tinseltown Dreams is not just another match three game. The game sets itself apart from other match three games by having the player create a movie as they play. The goal of the match three part of the game is to accumulate as much money as possible."
