Strategery
Strategery, a $2 iPhone game from iDrinkApp.com that plays a lot like Risk, looks exquisite. That’s a high compliment, particularly for a game whose main interface consists of a bunch of colorful dots, but it’s more than earned. Great attention to detail and particularly crisp text make the game a delight to look at. The gameplay itself isn’t too shabby either.
