Five Crazy Games: Teh Internets, House M.D., Ninja Honda Karate, Meowcenaries, and Genius Defense Force is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

It's not a secret to any of our regulars that I've taken an unnatural liking to a lot of really crazy games on the App Store, and recently I've found five new ones. Keep in mind, these games aren't for everyone, as they range from strange to really strange– But if you too enjoy games that have you shaking your head and saying to yourself, "Really? Someone made this game?" then these are all worth a look.

teh internets, $1.99 – A game that is absolutely at capacity when it comes to internet memes. Use a virtual joystick to pilot a roflcopter, collect lolcats, avoid pop ups, feed trolls, and break through firewalls. The gameplay isn't anything we haven't seen before, but the whole package is something that must be experienced if you're the kind of person who enjoys running memes in to the ground.

House M.D. – The Game, $2.99 – You might ask yourself, "How does a medical drama translate to a iPhone game?" Well, I'm still trying to figure that out myself. House M.D. is a logic game that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but if you follow the show, there are so many terrible inside jokes and I've been enjoying the game for that reason alone. Also, who would have ever expected Dr. Wilson to be shilling OpenFeint? There is a trailer of sorts for other mobile platforms on YouTube, and it looks like little has changed aside from the interface.

Ninja Honda Karate, $2.99 – If Enviro-Bear 2010 was a rhythm game, it would be Ninja Honda Karate. I have no idea what's going on in this game, but it somehow combines insane japanese pixel art with the feeling that I'm all the way back in 1985 again pounding out tunes on my light up single octave Casio keyboard. When you do well in the game, tanks, missiles, and fighter jets fly across the screen. And no, I can't explain why, but maybe that's part of the allure of Ninja Honda Karate.

Meowcenaries, $4.99 – This is what you get when you combine Freeverse's Warpack Grunts with lolcats and a pair of virtual joysticks. Much like teh internets, the game is filled with memes and lolspeak, but under all that there's actually a fairly decent little Cannon Fodder-inspired game. Like all Adult Swim games, it can be played for free online. Give the flash version a shot first to see if you like it enough to buy it for your iPhone.

Genius Defense Force, 99¢ – We previewed this game back in September, and since its released I've periodically loaded it up just to make myself feel dumb. Wrapped in a silly story about protecting Earth is a clever math game that requires you to solve simple problems in order to launch your weapons at the various malicious aliens that are attacking. There is even an option for reverse polish notation to appease the serious math nerds out there.

I don’t entirely understand what this app is all about, but suffice it to say that you’d most likely be into it if you’re a Muslim or are interested in Islam.

App Sale: Holiday Smash is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Holiday Smash is on sale for free – normally $1.99

‘Tis the season to… download all the Christmas-themed apps that descend upon the App Store at this time of year! Holiday Smash is basically a jacked up version of Breakout, and the stuff you’re breaking is all in the shape of various holiday things like snowmen and Christmas trees. Your paddle moves left and right with finger drags, and it also shoots lasers! So even when your balls are flying around (powerups make multiple balls possible) your lasers will be hard at work as they hack away at the stuff floating above.

Sea Li0n Games just released this app the other day at $1.99 and immediately dropped the price to free, so who knows if it’ll actually go back to costing money. Either way, it’s free right now and it’s not bad! Kids tend to get antsy this time of year, so even if you’re not a fan of this kind of game yourself it could at least serve as a distraction for the little monsters in your life.

Khronos combines time & space to bring you a tool that illustrates the relationship between the movement of the earth, the moon, the sun and our world's calendars.



Inspired by the medieval astronomical masterpiece clocks, and the ancient Antikythera mechanism, Khronos brings the heavens to your iPhone.



A perpetual astronomical calendar that shows the positions of the sun, moon & major planets in real time or for times in the past or future, at your location or at any selected location, it shows time in several different calendrical systems, including the Gregorian, Hebrew and Islamic calendars, and the Buddhist & Japanese Eras, allows conversion and comparison of dates in different systems, whilst showing their relationship to the solar and lunar cycles that originally defined them.



Features



Astronomical Clock shows entire year cycle for two calendars and zodiac, moon phase and day length, with current GPS or WiFi coordinates and location name, time, position of the sun, moon and major planets relative to north (even without 3GS).



3GS users can rotate display by compass heading to show absolute position of sun, moon and planets.



Support for Buddhist Era, Gregorian, Hebrew, Islamic & Islamic Civil and Japanese calendars.



Enter a date in any calendar and see the same date in all other calendars simultaneously (When did Ramadan start in 2005? What was the Japanese Era of the Moon Landing? What’s my Hebrew date of birth?). Check the Astronomical Clock to see what the moon phase was or will be.



Drag the Sun Hand round the clock (with moon & planet animation) to set a date in the displayed year. Check out the dates of solstices and equinoxes, or the phase of the moon for a party.



Use current location or enter any location on earth by coordinates, map click or name (uses the GeoNames.org geocoder) – find coordinates of a named place or vice versa. Check the Astronomical Clock to see how the sky looks there. Or, when traveling, see the name of the town you are passing through.



Extensive built-in help.
