Star Words – Review

Star Words – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

I now turn my attention to honorariums of the Star Wars franchise.  And by that I mean apps that try to rip off the iconic images and themes that George Lucas used in his original trilogy.  Even the name logo of the app shamelessly steals from Lucas’ movies.

Star Words is a marvellous way of simulating the "scrolling text" beginnings of all the Star Wars movies without actually paying George Lucas any money.  Naturally, since no license fees are paid, the text and backg…Read More


GoodGuide – Review

GoodGuide – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

GoodGuide is an example of a good idea with a poor execution.  The app is a bar code scanner much like a myriad of other apps such as RedLaser, but once the product is scanned it tells you how well the product meets green standards (how environmentally friendly it is, etc).  Unlike other apps which seem to concentrate on food, this concentrates on any item that has a bar code attached to it.

The scores seem somewhat arbitrary (and this is coming from someone who gives arbitrary opinions on iPho…Read More


Chop Chop Tennis – Review

Chop Chop Tennis – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

It’s hard to make a really good sports game.  Without even playing the game for the first time, you already have expectations on how it should work, and what it should look like; and since you already know the rules, there isn’t that joy of learning and exploring a new game. So to make a tennis game that’s original and enjoyable is no easy task but Gamerizon makes a valiant attempt.

The characters in the game are very cartoony looking—reminding me more of a mii on a wii than…Read More


Indiana Jones and the Lost Puzzles – Review

Indiana Jones and the Lost Puzzles – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

I’m both pleased and horrified to announce that George Lucas is not done raping the Indiana Jones franchise.  He has now lent the name to a underwhelming puzzle game that really didn’t need to be made.  Or if it was needed, the Indiana Jones name could have been left out.

Obviously, the game is geared towards children.  I yearn for the day when a game of the franchise is released with adults in mind.  It’s a simple puzzle game in which you have Indy jump around a set of adjacent squar…Read More


Saving Private Sheep – Review

Saving Private Sheep – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

The sheep and the wolf–it’s a classic conflict; and Saving Private Sheep builds on that conflict.

You are in control of Private Sheep–you must get him to safely land on the platform as quickly and in as few moves as possible.  If private sheep falls off the wolf will get him.  If you take too long to solve the puzzle, you may have to do it again.

The graphics and interface are well done, the actions are smooth and the controls work well.  The animated wolf popping up every now and then…Read More


GodFinger – Review

GodFinger – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

In the early days of gaming on the iPhone, a small company named Ngmoco hit the scene with a wonderful game called Rolondo which harnessed the unique features of the iPhone to give players a fantastic experience. Ngmoco’s most recent addition to the app store is an equally ambitious game that puts players in charge of their own planet of little virtual worshippers that will do your bidding. This game is Godfinder and I am going to take a look at this title, and see what entertainment divine control can off…Read More


HomePipe Premium – Review

HomePipe Premium – Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

One built in feature that has been missing from the existing iPhone or iPod touch that I have yearned for is the ability to stream one’s iTunes library to the device.  Oh sure, there are free apps to use it as an iTunes remote, but you still have to transfer music to the device itself in order to listen to it.  Fortunately, there are apps like HomePipe which just became available for free in the App Store.

You can stream music, movies and photos to your iPhone or iPod touch provided you are on…Read More
