Angry Birds 2

Great graphics. Multi-levels. Even MORE destruction. The sequel to one of the most popular and beloved mobile games is better than ever. With revamped gameplay—but familiar characters—and storylines, you are sure to become addicted all over again. The game is challenging enough to keep you interested, but easy enough to keep frustration at bay.

A few tweaks were made in the sequel, including the ability to choose the order that you send birds flying, new power-ups, and more. In-app purchases allow you to fly through the levels with more access to lives and power-ups, but are not necessary for simple angry bliss.

30/30

School is back in session. If you are feeling swamped with the change in pace, you may want to try 30/30—a new kind of task manager. The app allows you to input the series of tasks you want to get done with time allotted for each task. Once you have entered your to-do list, simply press start and the app will notify you when it is time to move on to the next item on your list. Different, but a great pick for those who want a simpler answer to time management.
