Star Trek fans now have a unique way to geek out, and it comes in the form of a way for them to learn anything they might not already know about the franchise (or at least, don't have memorized). Star Trek PADD (Personal Access Display Device) is an iPad App that recreates the LCARS computer interface from Star Trek, and includes a database of just about everything that has ever happened in the … [Read more...]
Are you ready to get nuts and destroy Decepticons? Well... yeah, anyhoo... something new is obviously going to be showing its face on the mobile game market, and here comes your look at what it is. On the plus side, depending on your view as to whether or not there needs to be any plus side beyond the fact that there is a Transformers mobile game, the action is coming to you from EA, and their … [Read more...]
I'm not quite sure where exactly this falls on the general awesomeness scale, but Warner Bros. Digital Distribution is opening the door for film releases as Apps, and they're launching the idea with Inception and The Dark Knight. These look awfully cool, and provide you with a lot of possibilities and content, though the iPad version seems the one that makes the most sense to me. Whatever you … [Read more...]
When you have an iPhone or iPad, you're bound to spend a certain amount of time looking for new and interesting things to pop up in the App store. Hopefully, something with a bit more punch than the next 99 cent time-waster. Once in a while, you run into something that makes you appreciate the fact that some people are actually trying to do something with the abilities inherent in these … [Read more...]
We all know there's an App for everything, but if you've tried out the Apps available in the area of travel in general and/or booking hotels, you know that things are pretty limited. In fact, they're even more limited than they appear, because some of the "big guns" of travel have Apps that don't work as wonderfully as we might expect. Well, there's a new game in town in the hotel booking … [Read more...]
EA first hooked me on its mobile efforts when I got to play around with the iPhone version of Tiger Woods at their big sports extravaganza a couple of years ago. A few months pre-release, I found myself going back to the iPhone while most people had bigger fish to fry. To be honest, there was probably more interesting stuff around, but for some reason, I was really impressed. Up to then, iPhone … [Read more...]
Curious Apps often take off, and it doesn't hurt to have Harry Potter in the name. Harry Potter: Spells is an App that lets you turn your iPhone into a wand and start dueling, and now a free option has been released. HARRY POTTER™: SPELLS, the best-selling Harry Potter App for the iPhone and iPod touch, is now available as a free app on the App Store. Based on the Harry Potter films, this … [Read more...]
There are several clones of the classic board game RISK already available at the iPhone App Store, but this summer the real deal is coming from EA. Some of the options already available to you aren't that bad for killing time actually, but EA clearly takes its App Games very seriously, already offering several of the most incredible titles there are, and it looks like this one will be no … [Read more...]
Having already made a splash on the iPhone and iPod Touch, Sherlock Holmes is now available on the iPad. This strikes me as a really great addition actually, because the App game is good on the iPhone, but it might almost be too much game for the really small screen. At least, that was my experience. Warner Bros. Digital Distribution today announced the availability of Sherlock Holmes Mysteries … [Read more...]
I have to admit right from the start that I am not a GameFly subscriber. I am nevertheless a big fan. I find the concept brilliant, but I only have so many hours in a day, and generally purchase the games I'm after that don't come to me for review. That's just me. Even so... I'm sorely tempted. GameFly has now gone a step further than movie counterpart Netflix seems willing to go, by taking … [Read more...]
Now available at the App Store, Ninja Assassin is based on the film, and throws you into the role. You'll swipe the screen to swing your sword, tap to hide and throw shurikens, and much more. I haven't had a chance to exhaust the game, but it's a fun, highly-stylized hack-and-slash with some twists. Additional game modes add to the playability, but the story mode is the main thing, and the … [Read more...]
