It doesn't matter how good the rest of this week's Gaming App of the Day apps were, we should have just dropped the mic and called it when Monday featured a hunting game that lets players target specific organs.

You Had Me At ‘Shooting Astronauts With Cheeseburgers'
My favorite mobile games are those that pull me in so quickly that a week passes by before I notice I'm spending every idle moment with my iPad gripped in my hands playing the damn thing. Games like Draw Something and Scramble With Friends have been my mobile game drugs for the past few weeks. More »
Word Off Makes Spelling Into A Territorial Death Match
