Best Iphone Apps Review

Impossible Finger Carnival is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Step right up! Step right up! Only $5 for 3 shots! Knock over the milk bottles and win a fabulous prize! I remember walking through the midway at the fair that always came to my town being tempted by the carnies to step up to their game, fork over $5, fail miserably, and receive a puny $.5o toy. I, of course, was gullible enough to fall for their tricks.

When I saw this app, it immediately brought me back to last summer, walking through the midway to watch the suckers fork over outrageous amounts to win useless stuff (but I did see someone win an electric guitar, but that’s a different story). The Impossible Finger Carnival, a fiendish game designed by Darrellution, is exactly what the name says, impossible! It’s not that the tasks (removing slime, finding a lost item, keeping a ball in play, popping a certain color balloon, spelling a word, solving a math equation, catching items, and tapping a button) are not feasible, but rather the time limit given. For example, in Find The Items, you are given a flashlight and asked to go find i.e. the ‘horn’! You are then presented with a black screen. You have four seconds to find the horn. The challenging perspective of racing against time to complete otherwise pointless tasks makes this game fun and addictive. Not only that, whenever you fail miserably (such as at a real fair or carnival) you are greeted with an insulting message like, “My grandmother is faster than you!” I think this app is both a great time killer and a fun game.

What makes this app better is the contest they are running. Between now and January 31, you can submit your highest score to their Facebook page (just search Darrellution) and have a chance to win $100! That seems like a great prize for an app only costing $.99!

So if you are looking for a fun, addictive app that costs only a buck, plus gives you a chance to win $100, download the Impossible Finger Carnival.

Parallel Kingdom AOE – MMORPG for the iPhone is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Price: Free    Score: 7/10    By Shaun Campbell

MMO’s are a hugely successful game (and business) model with genre-defining games like World of Warcraft pulling in huge revenues each month in subscription fees from millions of players worldwide. Developed by PerBlue Inc., Parallel Kingdom: Age of Emergence is one of the first games to bring a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) to the iPhone. Even more ambitious than that, Parallel Kingdom is a geo-aware game that uses your actual physical location (via GPS or WiFi) as your starting point in the game.

When you first open up Parallel Kingdom you’re prompted to make a new account – you simply have to enter your email address, password, character name, age and gender. You can also toggle whether you would like to receive a text message when you’re being attacked or receive an in-game message.

Once your account is set-up, you’ll be able to jump straight in. One of the first things you’ll probably notice is that, graphically speaking, Parallel Kingdom isn’t the most impressive of games. A Google-maps background is overlaid with basic little sprites that identify players, enemies and resources and other items. What is cool though, is that the streets around your home or office have suddenly become a real-time game environment and there are trolls, stags, dire wolves and other creatures all around you.

To move around the map you just double tap where you would like to go. The player is surrounded by a “radius of mobility” which is represented on-screen as a dashed line. This line represents the limits of your territory and and to begin with, you’re unable to move outside of this area. You can however, expand your territory by building houses and flags – or by physically moving your location.

As you progress through the world in Parallel Kingdom, you’ll accumulates journal “pages” which are basically equivalent to experience points “XP”. Get enough pages and you’ll be able to level up. When you level up you receive a skill point, which can then be spent to learn a range of skills and unique abilities like Leatherworking, Weapon Smithing and Alchemy. You can also mine resources such as iron ore and sulfur and trade these items with other players.

A big part of any MMORPG is the social element, and Parallel Kingdom has a number of different ways that you can interact with other players in the game. There are several of chat rooms, in-game messaging as well as “group hunting” which is the closest thing to a party/raiding system that you’ll find in the game.

Parallel Kingdom isn’t quite at the stage where it will be to the iPhone MMO what WoW did for the PC, but this kind of geo-aware mobile gaming has a lot of potential. PerBlue Inc., have come up with a truly unique concept, and with over 75,000 players worldwide, Parallel Kingdom is set to continue to improve and grow.

Parallel Kingdom AOE requires the iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch.

Shiftmaze is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

This new game is pretty simple. You slide the maze pieces around to help the guy escape. You can also double tap to guide him where to go once you create a path. It starts getting harder when you add enemies wandering around and when the maze shifts on it’s own. It’s only $0.99 and was released on Dec 18th, 2009.
