This weeks game of the week is Traps and Gemstones for iOS. This game is a great puzzler and platformer, but it has little to offer the world of education. I found the game to be entertaining to a point… the point where it became repetative. I love the fact that it is modeled after the great Indiana Jones, but it has relatively simple puzzles and controls. When it was on my iPad, I only played the game a handful of times before I moved on to other, more adventurous, games.

Summary

This app is a fun game for a couple of hours of gameplay. I was disappointed with how generic the encounters and puzzles seemed to be as I continued through the game. It is a good app for a gaming fix, but in my opinion is not worth the $4.99 price tag. Add it to your wish list and keep an eye out for sales, as it is a good game at half the price.
