I recently played the Orbital app on my friends iPod Touch and like he said to me “it’s addicting!”. The game concept is very simple and an overall easy game to play. There is a single player mode as well as a multiplayer mode so you can have some fun with your friends.

Basically the idea to this game is that you will shoot a ball out of the cannon on the bottom which rotates left to right on its own. The balls that you shoot out will eventually stop and then expand until they hit the edge of another ball or the wall, once this happens the ball be given a number, which is the amount of times that ball needs to be hit to be destroyed. The objective of the game is to destroy as many balls as you can. However, you can never let the ball that you shot out reach the bottom line because that is how you lose.

I now have the free version of this game on my iPhone and I’m thinking of getting the real version, which is $1.99 in the App Store. The game is very fun to play and is one of those games that doesn’t get boring.

Well most of us know of the Bejeweled games being for the computer, well it is also in the iPhone/iPod Touch! I recently started to play the edition on my phone and I have to say that once again it’s another great computer-to-phone game that is well done and fun to kill some time. Bejeweled is a puzzle game where you have to swap jewels from one place to another to make lines of at least three to destroy those three. The goal of the game is to achieve the set goal for each level. That is the basics of the game, but of course like most games there are various game modes and styles you can play that add subtle differences. The Bejeweled games are great puzzle style games in general to kill some time or just have some plain fun with.

Overall the iPhone version is great and I would recommend getting it.

Another great computer-to-phone game

DinoSmash is a game that I started to play a little while ago and had some fun getting into. The game is very much like Super Smash Bros. but for your phone! Recently it has been updated and now you can customize your dino and select from 24 different tribes. DinoSmash is in third person with some pretty good controls that are easy to use so you can navigate and jump simply to fight your enemies. The best part of DinoSmash is the online mode where you can face off against other players around the world and play either a Capture the Flag mode or a Team Deathmatch. This is the first game for the iPhone/iPod touch that I have played that you can play online against other people. DinoSmash has an optimized graphics engine that runs at 30-40 fps (frames per second). You can grab different weapons and devastate your enemies with various different attacks. An overall well put together game that can give you some fun when you’re bored.

If you are looking for a new game for your iPhone or iPod Touch, then this is the one.

You will have lots of fun playing against others around the world!

Well I love Peggle on the PC in itself, but when I heard that this was coming out for my iPhone I had to have it! The iPhone version is one of those games for the iPhone/iPod Touch that is really well put together and the game play is identical to the original! Peggle is a game where you have a “shooter” piece in the center at the top and your goal is to take out as many orange “peggles” as you can before you run out of balls to shoot because if you don’t get all of the orange ones then you fail and you have to start over. This isn’t the only game mode, but it is the main one. The games point system revolves around getting combo’s and you have the option to select a character who has a different ability from all of the others. The different abilities are used when you shoot a green peggle which gives you your special ability power up and you get to use it for the next few hits depending on how your next shots go. That’s the game in a nutshell, but there are many different modes and many other things that make it really fun. Just wait until you play it and you beat one round and you hear the end music, you will feel epic. The game is a really fun game to play that you can play for hours without getting bored. The only downside is that yes like almost every other game for the iPhone this is a paid game, on the upside the App Store always has sales on so if you don’t want to spend too much then, I’m sure that it will go on sale soon enough, or you have a “jailbroken” iPhone so you don’t need to worry. I will warn you and say that this game can be fairly addicting.

If you don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch then try the PC version.

No matter which edition you get you will have fun!

Hero of Sparta is an iPhone app worth getting whether you have a “authentic” iPhone or a “jailbroken” iPhone. Hero of Sparta is a game for the iPhone/Ipod Touch which has very impressive graphics. Sometimes the downfall of an app is the controls and the lack of playability. This game is an exception to that because the controls are some of the best I have used so far. In Hero of Sparta you are a hero who fights his way through all of the monsters and bosses. The combo/attacking system is unique and isn’t a “boring” set of the same old combo’s over and over, it actually makes it fun to play throughout the whole time. The game is put together well and impressed me a lot for a game that I can play on my iPhone any time.

Another great release by Gameloft.

This game is well worth getting, play until your hearts content.

I thought it would be useful even if you have an iPhone to see some of the best apps out there for the iPhone. I’ll start off with one of my favorite apps called Shazam. Lets say that you are out and you are in Star Bucks and you hear a song that you really like and you’re afraid you’re going to forget part of the lyrics to google later, well this is where Shazam is amazing, with Shazam you can open the app up and click “Tag Now” and it will listen to the song and 99% of the time if the music is loud enough it will tell you the artist and album all just from listening to the song and it will save the song for you for you to refer to later. The next must have app is called Flixster, which is the movie app they have made and what it will basically do is tell you the recent box office movies, DVD’s that recently came out, upcoming movies, and the most useful thing it shows is the theaters that are nearby and the show times for each one. This app has come in handy countless times when I was out and decided that I wanted to go see a movie. Now we’ve got an app for music and for movies, the next one is for anything locally near you and it’s called Locly and what it basically does is uses your GPS built in your iPhone and tells you all the nearby businesses, banks, pubs, movies, hotels, museums, and basically anything you can think of. The last app that I will mention today is Tip, and well the name gives it away it is a fancy tip calculator that allows you to calculate your tips very simply by putting in the amount of your meal, selecting the tip %, and how many ways you want it split. This comes in real handy if you have a group of people and need to split the bill, it will tell you how much each person owes.

I hope this was useful for anyone who just got an iPhone or iPod Touch.

I will add more useful apps if anyone is curious about some more.

Blizzard has finally released it’s mobile application for all those World of Warcraft players. It’s time to find all of those third party applications and delete them to make room for the real armory from Blizzard. The World of Warcraft Mobile Armory is a portable application that is similar to the web version (www.wowarmory.com) which allows you to access a lot of information about your characters, guild, items and much much more.

If you play WoW, then this application is all you will ever need, you can login and access your information just like the web version.

So far I have played my fair share of iPhone games from the app store and I have to say that this one is the most addicting that I have played so far. This a game where you have a cannon to shoot stones (or should I say pebbles) into matching stones which are on a path heading toward “doom” which eats your pride if it gets to it. The point of the game is to keep matching the stones until all of the path is gone, as the game goes on you will encounter more and more paths and more difficult paths. The game is appealing to all audiences and is easy to use, a good use of graphics and it has never crashed on me.
