The Deep Pinball – iPhone App Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

The Deep Pinball (Free)

Version 1.2

REVIEW -” A great Pinball game that is a fun way to kill a few minutes.”

The Deep Pinball version 1.2 is updated with a Christmas theme that is really great and one that can help you keep the Christmas feel for just a little bit longer. But the added benefit of this Christmas update is that for a limited time this app is now free so hurry up and grab it before you have to pay the regular $.99 price.

The game starts off with a bit of advertisements but that is all you ever see of it and the rest of the game is spent playing it just like normal pinball game. You touch the bumpers to get them to move and you slide to launch each new ball.

The sounds are great and I think the graphics are really well done considering that it is just a pinball game. There are also plenty of different things to interact with and even missions to follow so it is really easy to rack up the points.

Personally I love pinball games there is plenty of lights and sounds to really make things fun and interesting and you can play through a game in a matter of minutes (if you aren’t that good at pinball anyway) and it’s something that you can easily pull out and instantly get into.

Now for those of you that don’t want Christmas year round you can go into the settings mode on your iphone and then scroll down until you see The Deep app. You can then switch off the Christmas theme and you are left with the basic and the classic underwater pinball game.

The movement and the gameplay is very fluid so you do not have to worry about anything but human error screwing up your game.

You can also shake the table simply by shaking your iphone and you can pause the game by pressing the top display.

There are a few interesting things to note in this game, the camera changes views to zoom in on the ball in certain points and then to zoom out and show the table. If you like you can turn off the live camera and move to a static camera.

There are also world and local scores to check and see how well you match up against everyone else.

If you want to know what everything is and how to get missions and meet checkpoints, simply let the main screen run for a few moments and a guide will pop up and explain everything to you.

If you like pinball I highly recommend this game and you really should grab it while it is still free!

The Holiday Fling is a Tough Nut to Crack is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Price: $0.99    Score: 7/10    By Steve Beaudry

The Holiday Fling by Studio-X is a happy, cheery game that aims to please even the most grinchified Scrooges with falling snow, crisp winter graphics and the sound of sleigh bells and Christmas carols. There’s just one problem: it’s almost impossible to win.

It’s a pretty simple game, really. The object is to take a Christmas wreath of your choice and, with the help of the touch-screen and a little Christmas magic, fling said wreath into a few scattered Christmas trees of your choice. If your wreath rings around one of these trees you get a point. Unfortunately, due to a lack of any kind of real measurable control over the wreaths, it takes an extremely healthy dose of said Christmas magic to get any points. I must have played upwards of 10 rounds, with 10 tries each round, and got only 3 points total.

For some reason, though, it’s difficult to stop playing this game. As I said, there’s really not much to it, but I found myself continuing to go back to it. Maybe it’s the cheery feel of Christmas, the magic of Jingle Bells or maybe just the fact that I really wanted to ring a wreath… but it took the threat of taking too long of a break at my job to pull me away from this joyful app.

So, is it worth it? Well, The Holiday Fling is only 99 cents. That’s a small price to pay for a stocking stuffer that doesn’t even take up any stocking space. For any one with a little free time, this is a good game to come back to every now and then to see how many times you can fail the objective before giving up. The clean graphics and jolly sounds make it a great holiday treat, but I wouldn’t be surprised if by New Year’s Day it gets deleted.

The Holiday Fling requires iPhone OS 2.2.1 or later and is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch.

Start a Snow Ball Fight with Snow Brawlin’ Pro! is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Price: $0.99    Score: 10/10    By Sarah Parker

It is wintertime, but that doesn’t mean Risoo the squirrel gets a Christmas break. A band of  squirrel bullies have once again targeted Risoo in the game Snow Brawlin’ Pro.  Risoo has to defend himself by dodging the onslaught and counterattacking with snowballs. If you enjoyed playing the game Nut Chuckin’, then you will love Ghost Hand Games’ newest gem.

The game play of Snow Brawlin’ is similar to Nut Chuckin’, but has some important differences. Risoo dodges oncoming projectiles in the same way, but he does not need to collect the snowballs in this game. Instead, Risoo’s arsenal is automatically replenished, making the game play initially much easier to get a handle on.

The goal of Snow Brawlin’ is different as well. Your aim is to knock out as many squirrels as you can, trying to achieve high scores, hit-streaks, and higher levels in less time. The number of squirrels and rate of attack increase as the levels increase, but the scenery stays the same and Risoo doesn’t actually “move” to the next level. Most of the squirrels go down with one hit, but new ones pop up faster, making the game pace much quicker than that of Nut Chuckin’. The basic game Snow Brawlin’ is actually free from the iTunes store. Snow Brawlin’ Pro is the upgraded version of the same game that has some added perks, such as extra lives, bonuses, a global leader board, and e-mail challenges.

Snow Brawlin’ Pro is a fun, fast game that is a blast to play. The graphics in both Snow Brawlin’ games are fantastic, and the music and sound effects are awesome. The game play is a little easier at first, but don’t relax! The challenge increases quickly as you advance in the game. Snow Brawlin’ is a great game at a bargain: the basic version is free, and the upgrade is only $0.99.

Snow Brawlin’ and Snow Brawlin’ Pro are both compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch; Snow Brawlin’ requires OS 3.0 or later; Snow Brawlin’ Pro Requires OS 2.2.1 or later

Golden Miner Christmas is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Back in the day I was a fan of the flash version of Golden Miner and I liked Colorme Info Tech’s iPhone port when I reviewed it earlier this year… but this Christmas version of the game is kind of… meh.

The thing about the “classic” version of Golden Miner that makes it fun is that there are levels to clear and new obstacles to deal with as you progress through the game. Golden Miner Christmas, however, is basically just one neverending level that features all kinds of cool little Christmas things like candy, tree ornaments, and toys (iPhones included!) but the game gets pretty old pretty quick.

Obstacles are also a part of this Christmas version of the game but they seem to be more of a nuisance than strategically placed barriers. Several different kinds of critters crowd the screen and there’s some weird flying demon thing that you’re supposed to fight off by pressing the fairy button in the bottom right corner. Once again… meh. Not really buying it.

If you know this game from playing it online and want it on your iPhone, go for the original or Colorme’s Golden Miner 2. This Christmas game you can skip right over.

Holiday Gift Guide Delivers on Great Gift Ideas is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Price: Free    Score: 8/10    By Shaun Campbell

Gift giving has always been an integral part of the holiday season, but it’s easy to get lost for ideas. Finding an original and unique gift for a friend, partner or a family member can be a real challenge – especially at this time of year. The Holiday Gift Guide, developed by NearbyNow, is designed to help make the Christmas shopping experience a whole lot easier.

The Holiday Gift Guide brings together 18 digital gift guides from such brands as Macy’s, InStyle, Nordstrom, Armani Exchange and Cosmopolitan for some great Christmas gift ideas.

Tapping on one of the gift guides brings up a number of different gift categories that cover gifts for Him, for Her, for the Family, for Kids & Teens as well as Gifts for Home, Stocking Stuffers and Best Selling items. Selecting one of the options opens a gallery of images, and you then simply select one of the pictures to get further information on the item. You have the option to “See it Online” or to “Find it Near Me”. The first option will take you to the online store that stocks that particular item. Selecting the Find it Near Me option allows you to utilize one of the most useful features of this app. Through GPS location, cell triangulation or by manually entering your city, state or zipcode, the Holiday Gift Guide will locate your nearest stockist. The NearbyNow live concierge can also place a call to the store during business hours to check availability for you, and even place the item on hold. You can tap the Favorites Star on any product to add it to a list of your favorites for later reference, and also access the status of your availability requests right from within the app.

The Holiday Gift Guide also features a “Gift Finder” feature which allows the user to generate a number of targeted gift ideas. You simply select your budget, any applicable special interests (e.g gadget lover, traveler, sports addict), and select whether it is a gift for him or for her. The Holiday Gift Guide will deliver you all of the relevant results, categorised under Adults, Teens and Kids in an image gallery format. While not all of the results are always useful – I was suggested a 10 piece OXO Pop-Container set for a gadget lover – it is a neat idea.

Overall, for a free app, The Holiday Gift Guide delivers a wide range of gift ideas to suit the whole family and will be a must-have download if you are struggling for gift ideas this holiday season.

Holiday Gift Guide requires the iPhone OS 3.0 or later and is compatible with both iPhone and iPod Touch.

Christmas Sudoku is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Hey sudoku nuts, are you ready to tear your hair out? Christmas Sudoku is a holiday-themed sudoku game where the typical rules apply… even when you’re playing with “goodies” instead of numbers.

That’s right, in this game you can choose to play with either numbers or nine little Christmas goodies like candy canes, snowmen, and jingle bells. I’ve never been good at sudoku to begin with, and it only gets harder when you take away the numbers and throw in the tiny pictures.

Not only does Christmas Sudoku come with the fully functional sudoku game, it also includes a bunch of other extras like “Hug-a-Friend” for creating and sending a Christmas card from within the app, “Tug-a-Friend” which pits you vs. another player via bluetooth as you race to finish the puzzle first, and several different background themes for the game.

I have absolutely no complaints about the sudoku part of this app… it offers hints, a “campaign” mode which is timed, and a “Quick Game” mode which isn’t timed, and you also have solve and undo options. I’ll say again, playing sudoku with the goodies is a LOT harder than playing with numbers, but if you really love this kind of puzzle then it should be a refreshing departure from the hundreds (or thousands?) of puzzles you’ve already completed.

The Hug-a-Friend holiday card thing, on the other hand, could use a little work. It’s hard to expect this part of the app to be perfect since the main focus is the game instead of greeting cards, but as long as the greeting card is there it would be nice if the text would behave better than it does. The card starts off with a “To:” field, but when you input a name the “To” disappears. No big deal, just type “To: So and So”, right? But when you go to email it, the word “Dear” is inserted in the stock email that’s appended to your card, leaving you with “Dear To: So and So”. The actual creation of the card is done pretty well, though, and if you have a child it might be fun to dress up one of the four different card backgrounds with stars, holly, ornaments, and a lot of same “goodies” that are featured in the game.

I haven’t tried the two player Tug-a-Friend mode because, as always, I have no friends, but I’m impressed that it’s there.

If you’re up for a new sudoku challenge that’s in keeping with the holiday spirit, Christmas Sudoku should be worth the $2 price tag. It’s a fun take on a classic game, albeit agonizingly difficult for sudoku noobs like me.

App Sale: iSanta 2010 is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

iSanta 2010 is on sale for free – normally $.99

If you need a diversion to keep the kids busy, iSanta 2010 might fit the bill. I repeat… if you need a diversion to keep THE KIDS busy… see, this isn’t really a grownup’s game. The goal is to drop presents down chimneys and you need to drop presents of the right color into houses that match, and the action is pretty slow but it’s probably about right for the tots.

I don’t know that I’d pay a dollar for iSanta 2010 ‘cuz I don’t have any kids, but if I did I’d think about it. The graphics are decent and it’s a very Christmasy game, so there’s no harm in trying it for free.

Ho Ho Ho Merrrrrrrry Christmas you little chowderheads!
