We’ve seen a number of crazy games lately, many of which are re-introducing zombies and ninjas to the mainstream culture. Now a company called AppyNation wants to ride one of those trends, while also hoping to appeal to the FarmVille fans. Their new game, titled Ninja Ranch, is described as a ninja-flavored mash-up of Sudoku, Tetris and animal husbandry.
The puzzle game comes with various characters such as the Crispy Duck, the sage Wizard Lizard, the noble Red Panda and the mighty wind-powered Flatulent Cow. Moreover, a Lucky Cat appears from time to time to bring good fortune to the ninja apprentices who are cunning enough to take advantage of its score-building effect.
There are more than 20 Game Center achievements to complete, and you can unlock multiple extras by earning coins for completing levels. Finally, a Daily Spin with prizes and tons of funny wise ancient ninja proverbs will keep keen Ninja Ranchers coming back every day. Pretty weird yet just for that reason we may be easily talking about a hit game…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
