The Travel Games Ultimate Edition app combines five great travel games into one app. They’ve been translated well to the iPhone and the graphics are terrific. I wasn’t too fond of the music, mine seemed to keep getting hung up, but you can easily turn it off. At times the app felt a little slow [...]
