THQ Liquidates Finnish Mobile Games Studio Universomo is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

THQ confirmed today that it has placed mobile games studio Universomo into liquidation, and announced that it will outsource development of its upcoming titles for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and other smartphone devices.

Last year, THQ restructured its wireless division and shifted its focus to smartphone platforms, closing three development studios and laying off more than 100 employees.

Universomo then became THQ’s primary smartphone development studio, producing mobile adaptations of the THQ properties Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and de Blob, along with original efforts like Chop Sushi!

Speaking to news site Mobile Entertainment, a THQ spokesperson revealed that the company has increased its investment in digital gaming, and plans to release more than 15 mobile games and entertainment applications this year. Following the dissolution of Universomo, THQ will contract “a global network of external developers” for its upcoming mobile titles.

A Universomo-developed iPhone sequel to de Blob, titled de Blob Revolution, was nearing release prior to the liquidation announcement.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

I am a big fan of the Rayman series.  The last time I played Rayman 2, I made it all the way to the end of the game in 32 hours, so you can imagine my excitement when I heard this was coming to the iPhone.

Rayman 2 for the iPhone is a very good port, and is similar to the original in many ways, Rayman even does his ‘I’m bored waiting for you to move’ sequence if you leave him alone for too long.

The gameplay is smooth and the animations are crisp and clean.  The colors are vivid, bright and e…Read More

Strategic Board Game Lovers Unite! Boardz is Online Play is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Boardz is an iPhone app that contains four classic two-player strategic board games – Chess, Go, Shogi, and XiangQi. It is designed to work over a network connection and seeks out other players as opponents. If you’ve tried Chess With Friends, you’ll have a pretty good idea of how Boardz plays out. Being a game that supports online play, always a bonus in my book, Snarl Software’s Boardz is an app to watch.

Working in its favor is the graphical design. Each board game and relevant game pieces are well designed and display decently on the screen, which in reality is only a fraction of the size of an original board. Sometimes shrunken down board games simply don’t look right or feel right, but the games in Boardz are authentic enough. With primarily tap to move control, taking your turn is simple and straightforward and with a back button included, undoing a move before submitting it is simple enough too. Setting up a user account is fast and easy and you can begin searching for matches in mere minutes.(…)

iLikeDontLike is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

LikeDontLike is a fun way to express
what you think and make people laugh
(hopefully).

Choose from various animations and sounds to
express what you like or don’t like.

If you’re not sure what to say, well, there’s also
a selection for that too!

There are different ways you can use this
application. Ex. when meeting with colleagues
at work, you can choose from simple animations
that represent hands clapping, thumbs up,
thumbs down etc to more “extreme” forms of
approval or disapproval depending on your
mood and your audience. All hand-drawn
animations are accompanied by sounds
of excellent quality.

Finally, if someone doesn’t like your answer,
you can always blame your iPhone or iPod touch!

Have fun!

Spin Puzzle is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Great puzzle fun for the iPhone! Great touch control system is intuitive and smooth and combined with sleek graphic design it’s the best puzzle system I’m played on the iPhone. Great anime art is a big plus for anime fans, but the system is great for anyone needing a quick puzzle time-killer.

Really hoping they’ll release more with this engine. It’s more a jigsaw than a slider, as the review I found it through said “the best of both worlds” and I have to agree with them.

A breath of fresh air in the shovelware-filled puzzle market.

iControlPad Adds Joysticks to Your iPhone…If it’s Jailborken is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

A stylus? Psh, get rid of it. A physical keyboard? Nah, no need for that either. Tactile feedback is a thing of the past, all we need is a big glass touch screen…right? Well that’s what Apple would have you believe anyway, a theory that is further being cemented with their upcoming release of the iPad. On a basic level it seems to be very true, we’re able to text, surf the web, take photos, all without any physical buttons or keys. What about high level gaming though, is that a different story? If you’d asked me 3 years ago I would’ve said “there’s no way for it to be done. We’re humans, touch is one of our basic senses, we need it.” Over the past several months though with games like N.O.V.A and Need For Speed Shift, or even classic ports like Wolfenstein, I’ve become more of a believer in the future. Not everyone is so ready to give up on game controllers, one such company being iControlPad.

The iControlPad has been in beta testing and undergoing redesigns since last May but as of February 18th the company has stated mass production has begun. The iControlPad can already be used with classic game emulators and the company is seeding a SDK to anyone interested in supporting the device. Two models are to be made, one with a built-in battery pack, one without. Based on early videos and screen shots the controls appear to work flawlessly with no lag at all. Here’s the catch, and it’s a big one, the iControlPad only works on phones that are Jailbroken. I’m not sure exactly why that is since we know iPhone 3.0 does support accessory plugin’s but it’s very clear that it must be Jailbroken. There are a couple of hints on the site that indicate they may be working on standard OS supported version but there certainly aren’t any promises made. All hope is not lost though for those who wish to keep their iPhones pure and sacred, the Game Bone Pro is coming.

I know I’ve mentioned this device before and yes it still remains in the preproduction phase. However, the 22Moo site as recently as February 11th has stated that the most current redesign is on track and they are currently investigating iPad support. This too will be seeding a free SDK to developers but the big difference is the GBP will be carrying the “Approved by Apple” branding on its side. While the controller design itself may be a little cheesy, its features make it more than just a little appealing, including a 2000mAh iPhone charging battery, bluetooth support, building speakers, mic and 3.5 audio headphone jack. Still no official word on pricing or ETA but seeing as it’s been in design since last June I’m hoping for sooner rather than later.

Jailbroken or not it’s pretty clear that some of the iPhone world has not completely given up on buttons or D-pads yet. I’m personally still on the fence but where do you stand?

Here’s a clip of the iControlPad model with the built in battery pack:
