StickWars App Review

Rating: 3.5/5

StickWars... One thing people may notice about this game is that it's more of a workout excercise for your hand and arm then an actual game. No, really though, all jokes aside this game is one tiring game. Other then all the workout and tiredness that it gives the player, this game is actually pretty fun. Basically you must protect your castle from taking damage and being destroyed by the swarm of stick people that are running towards it and attacking it. You must swing your finger from left to right grabbing the stick people and throwing them in the air killing them. It may sound easy but it really isn't because of the fact that later on after a few levels you have a huge army of stick people running towards your castle. The good thing about this game though is that its not as simple as that. After each level you may upgrade your castles health and also heal it to full health again, and get defence and whatnot. You think that that's not that great and you want more? Well, there is more...Lots more. This app has some great features because you also gain rewards for each level you pass. You gain money that is. Then, after each level you may buy certain upgrades to protect your castle. Things such as: cages to trap enemies inside, shaking the iPhone to deploy bombers to detonate and destroy a whole bunch of enemies, and also things like magic wizards to shoot fireballs, and etc. So much good things about this game and good features that make it really interesting. There's even a global online high score ranking system so you'll want to keep playing until you get your name up on there. The bad thing about the game though, that really sucks, is that once the enemies get to destroy your castle it's all over for you. You could of been playing for 50 levels and put so much hard work into it but once it's over, well...it's over. You must start all the way from the beginning, so that kind of loses some of the fun of the game. Regardless though it's a pretty addicting game and the artwork and graphics and presentation of it all is all pretty attracting and good. At the price of just a dollar this game is really amazing and if you like to play games on your iPhone, you should deffinetly give this game a shot. With all the workout your hand and arm get from it, who knows, you could even end up with bigger biceps.

The Moron Test App Review

Rating: 3/5

The Moron Test is one simple, yet frustrating application. It's a test, like any other test, but this one seems to make people look like total idiots. This is basically a game that tests the player on their patience and instruction-following skills. You are required to do what the instructions say. It's as simple as that, yet most of the people who try this game will most likely fail and not complete it on their first try. The game is so simple that tasks sometimes include things such as: "Touch the red button" or "Touch the biggest duck", yet people have trouble doing so. Sometimes it might get a bit more complicated and might have you complete a task such as "Touch the green button, then the red twice, then the blue button", but really, is that really that complicated? Well, apperantly it is, and that's what makes this game fun. It's simple yet fun, but sometimes can get frustrating though. The art and drawings and the graphic presentation is also very well done, it really brings out what the game is all about and goes with its theme. Music and sound also go along great and make the game that much better. The downside of this app is that once you fail you are forced to start all over from the first task and do everything all over. Once you hit a certain level and are far into the game there's a checkpoint and you continue from there but if you haven't reached that checkpoint you must start all over and sometimes that can get really annoying. The reason being is also because the game does not change its levels and tasks around so if you got to level 10 and failed, you must start all over and you basically have to do exactly what you did before to reach the level again, so in other words it's very repetative and can get boring at times. Once the game is beaten though, that's it, there's no other stuff to do, and you might be left wanting your money back. It's great watching your friends try and fail though, it's very humorous and fun. Overall it's basically one of those games that are fun for a few minutes than once it's beaten you might find yourself deleting it.

Snake Galaxy App Review

Rating: 4/5

Hey everyone, this time Ill be reviewing the game Snake Galaxy. Many of you might probably not know about it as its one of those good games that arent noticed but I came across it and now i must say, its a really good game. Basically its the game "Snake" but in a whole new idea or concept. Its 3-D. Now thats a pretty cool idea. Theres many different levels, the graphics are awsome, and gameplay is just fun. The levels are pretty good too. The only bad thing about this game is that a bit farther into the game it starts getting really hard to get the high score but so what? Thats the challange. You can trigger combos once you start growing for faster points but you must watch out at the same time. You cant hit your own trail, or any obstacles that are on the planet (level). Also the animation and presentation of some of the features are great, like for example when you see your high score the way its presented is amazing. Overall this game is great and Id give it a good 4/5. A few more levels wouldn't hurt but maybe we will see that in future updates. For now, in conclusion this game is pretty amazing and also addicting. Good job to the devs.

mBox Mail App Review

Rating: 4.5/5

The mBox Mail app is an application for the iPhone (iPod Touch as well but this site is strictly for iPhone though) that enables you to view your Hotmail account and all your emails and such things on it. That basicly all sumarizes what this app does but it's a really useful application for those who need to constantly check their Hotmail E-mails. Since the iPhone Mail app doesnt allow you to check your Hotmail e-mails, this app is amazing for saving people like me who check their Hotmail accounts every second. You can do practically anything that you can on the normal Hotmail website. Check your folders, your Sent messages, Drafts, and Inbox. You can create and send e-mail as well. You can also reply to e-mails. The other great thing about this application is that you can have multiple Hotmail accounts and check them at once and keep them together and easily check them. This application is simple, but is a very useful app and anyone who uses Hotmail and checks it on the daily, this app is a must have. The only problem with this app is that sometimes, not too often but it does happen, the app might get disconnected from its server and not be able to refresh or check for new emails and data, but that does not happen too often. Overall this app is amazing for what it does and is really useful.

Spore Origins App Review

Rating: 4/5

Spore Origins is a game all about evolution of a cell. You start off as the most primitive cell that there is, and as you go through levels your cell becomes more evolved and "upgraded". You control your cell by the iPhones built in accelerometer, which might not be that great to some people because it's the only control option available and sometimes is kind of annoying, but nevertheless, you move around eating other smaller cells, while staying away from the bigger cells that hurt you. As you proceed throughout levels, you may customize your cell however you want with different patterns and designs and colours, even put a design from your photo album. After a while of playing you also gain power-ups and added stuff to your cell, like for example horns and fins and etc, to gain more power and speed and such things. After playing throughout many levels you can upgrade your cell to look however you want it to because theres alot of different options to customize your creature, and thats pretty cool about this game.The great thing about this game is the graphics. The background of the level is very well designed and good detail. If your in the muddy level for example, it really feels as if your in that level because of the background and the look and feel of the level. All in all, this game is pretty cool and well worth a shot at playing, and the most important thing, its pretty fun. A pretty good overall game, tumbs up to EA for this.

Bowman App Review

Rating: 3.5/5

This game is simple but fun. Im sure most of you know what Bowman is, and played it sometime in your life, and this game is exactly that but for the iPhone. If you dont know what it is, scroll down and look at the screenshot for a general idea, but anyways, basically youre a stick person that shoots bows. Theres a few different modes, but this game has one big negative thing to it, theres no multiplayer between two iPhones. Theres the vs. Computer mode, the vs. Human mode, where you face your friend, but on the same iPhone, and the Bird Hunting mode, where you must shoot birds that come along the screen. You shoot by touching the screen and pulling back then releasing. After a while you`ll get the hang of it and start using the degrees and power of the shot properly. Like I said this game is very simple, so theres not much to it. Its fun for a few minutes, to some might even be addicting. Cartoony graphics are pretty good too. Its an alright app i guess, but it does lack a few things that would make it better, one being multiplayer versus other iPhones. All in all, its an okay app.

Need For Speed Undercover App Review

Rating: 4.5/5

Alright, so I've been waiting ever since the game for PS3/Xbox360 came out for this game to come out for iPhone. But it didnt, and I got sad and thought it wouldn't end up coming out but I randomly checked and was surprised to see the title. I got the game right away and started playing as soon as i installed it. All I have to say is that... DAMN, the wait paid off. This game is amazing and one of the best racing games in the store. Its deffinetly one of the best all time games in the whole App Store. The game starts off by having to wait for a loading screen but thats alright, the time you must wait is not that long compared to how much stuff it has to load. Then you get brought into the main menu, and your car is displayed there too. Now before anything, there IS a story to the game and the part I found pretty good was that it was all acted out by real life characters and the story is played by video or cutscenes if you'd like to call it that. Unfortunately, theres no free roam but thats okay, the games still great. The selection of cars is great in this game, considering its for the iPhone, theres many great cars such as Nissan GT-R, Dodge Viper, Pagani Zonda, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porche 911 GT and etc. The events are pretty good too, like for example, the classic "Circuit", Sprint, Knockout Lap and so on. Theres also, Cop Takeout where you must take out the cops cars and also many other events as well. Theres three areas to the big map of the city and in each part you must complete events. The other great part is that you can customize your cars Preformance and as well as Visuals. Visual upgrades arent that great but still, they make the game even better. The only way to control your car in this game is by accelerometer, but even to people who don't like accelerometer based games, you will because its not hard whatsoever and is very fun. Once finishing the career mode, a Drift Mode is unlocked to continue to gain money and play. Overall this game is great, but the only things holding it back from a perfect 5/5 is that sometimes the game will lag, making it really not fun, there's no free roam, but I dont blame it because after all it is an iPhone game, and the career mode isnt really that long. And to prove it, I beat the whole game in about an hour or so only with a Mazda 3, and a Dodge Viper for the last few races. But still it's a very fun game, but I suggest waiting for a price drop if you don't like spending money on the apps.
