Orbital – Fun and Addictive!

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.

Bejeweled 2! iPhone edition

Bejeweled 2

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, online multiplayer game for the iPhone!

DinoSmash

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!
