Just in time for your Halloween party, here comes the Horror Movies version of Scene It. Scene It has a fine reputation for making quality games, whether it be the board game, or on DVD, but now they can add the iPad to their list. I have to say that I’m not a real big fan of horror flicks myself, I’m more of an action/sci-fi/romantic comedies kinda guy myself. If…
Moshi Mouth is a newer App by a developer named Mind Candy. This App is a poorly done, though well drawn, attempt at making you into a monster mouth. The App is easy enough to use, and is, as stated above, well drawn, but it doesn’t offer much else. It does do, however, exactly what it promises. The App comes complete with six different Moshi Monsters to pick from, along…
Hide and Seek games are a dime a dozen in the AppStore these days, but this time around, with “Seek And Find”, we are treated to a good quality mini-game style game. This game made for the iPad is quite a joy for me and my significant other. We tested it this evening and found it to be rather fun and entertaining. The game play is simple enough, though challenging.…
So, it’s sixteen years later, and Sega Corp. finally put out a sonic game worth something. I have to say right here, and right now that back in the day; I was on Team Sonic. I liked Mario, sure, and I even had me a SNES, but Sonic & Tails always had my geeky, blue furry heart. One could really imagine my excitement to hear that Sega was going to…
This is a test of the App review system. If this were to be a real document, you probably wouldn’t be reading it. It would be locked away in my journal somewhere that you couldn’t find it. SimpleNote, a simple text editing App, claimed little. PlainText, does the same. Hog Bay only claims that the App is easy to use, and will sync up to your Drop Box. With a…
Appropriately named Awesome Note is probably my favorite iPhone App for taking notes with. It’s has a wonderful, and tastefully customizable, GUI that allows for you to take advantage of this Apps many features without thinking too hard about. Simple like simple note claims, but strikingly handsome like something that might have come from Apple themselves. It also features something closer to a filing system than most note taking Apps,…
Simple Note is a free App that boasts that it’s best feature is the one that can be find in it’s name; that is to say that the App is “Simple”. While this is true, the App is dead simple to use, there isn’t much else about it that makes it really all that appealing with the exception of it’s price; Free. I’ll be touching base on it’s GUI, ease…
It isn’t too often that I totally disagree with the title of an App, but this time I can’t hold back one iota. It’s confusing in reality because it’s referred to by this long, stringed together title that is actually it’s real name, the one you’d search for in the AppStore, and the name that is plastered all over the App itself. Though the confusion a customer might have concerning…
We have all heard that classic rock anthem for those who are about to, or already have, turned 18 – or maybe sixteen if you just wanna drop out ’cause really don’t care. We all have heard the promise that “school is out forever”, and for some of us, that is true. However, for the rest of us whom are not happy working at Mickey D’s for the rest of…
Lately I have been testing out a new game that just hit the AppStore called, Chuck Gnome. It is a visual treat for sure, and the game play couldn’t be easier/crack candy coated, but it does leave me asking one question; Does Travelocity know about this? I know it’s unfair to lump all Gnomes into a group, I mean Travelocity wasn’t the first place to feature a Gnome wearing a…
So, I recently picked up a copy of “Pages”, Apple’s word processor, for the iPad to review. I have been tinkering with it for a few days now, and I’m going to tell you what I think about. What? You don’t wanna listen to my opinion? Too bad; you’re reading it, so it won’t matter what you are listening to. This App, much like most things Apple, is done in…
Nathan Gray has decided it was time to reinvent the scrambled, jumbled, and sometimes infuriating pass-time that is dominated by scrabble and it’s clones. Putting words together for point value on a board is nothing new. In fact it’s been done for quite sometime, but it has almost always been done on a square grid board with only two directions to choose from. Hexalex brings a new twist to the…
App developer Engineous Games has done something very awesome and interesting in a retro sort of way. I’m of course talking about the game entitled Sketch Nation Shooter. The game is an old school 2-D shooter game with an equally cool and retro twist. The game features good game mechanics, decent albeit hand drawn graphics, and a few really cool extra features.
In this cute little bundle from WikiHow, you are treated to a cool, and easy to use interface that has all sorts of good advice. The advice that is available comes in a few different forms and in a few different categories. All around it’s nothing you might not have known before, but be careful or you may walk away with some new knowledge you didn’t have before in your…
In Sega’s sequel to the smash hit, Super Monkey Ball, Sega has returned to it’s roots in a big way. Keeping this new sequel simple, and true to the original, adding new characters, and a cute set of mini-games, this game is a home run for one of our childhood heroes. And by hero, I mean Sega of course.
Independent game developer, Flying Penguin, has partnered up with those cute, cuddly, and somewhat creepy critters called Skelanimals in a new rhythm based game for the iOS platform. Priced at a decent $2.99, here in the USA, this game isn’t cheap enough for an impulse by, but if you’ve got kids like I wish I did, it’s not a break the bank, pull grandpa’s gold tooth and sell it at…
In this release from Mo-Star, one can call upon all the rage, and fury that a purple haired princess can muster. This game features old school side scrolling beat-em-up action. There really isn’t too much to this game. You control the main character, who is not named, and form strategies to deploy troops in order to complete your goals. At a modest price of $1.99 US dollars, this game is…
ThumbPlay music is a streaming app for the iPhone, one of the first to be available in the US. This app is free to download and can be tethered to your ThumbPlay account online. This will provide you with unlimited streaming for $9.99 a month. A fair price I’m sure, but seeing as how Pandora is free, or $36 dollars a year, I’m not sure it’s a bargain. It does…
Square Enix has a reputation for excelence in the RPG genre of gaming, and in one of their more recent efforts, Chaos Rings for the iPhone platform, they hit that mark yet again. With quite a long history of making some of the best RPG’s out there, on just about every system, it’s no surprise that their latest iPhone endeavor would capture a die-hard RPG fan’s attention. With superior graphics,…
Once upon a time, in a land only fourty-five miles away from here, there once lived a young boy. He watched digi-mon, and saw other children of the same age playing with tamagotchi’s. Jealousy grew within the boy, then during that summer he grew up and was no longer interested in having his own little “pocket monster”. Fast forward to today – that boy is now a young man and…
