Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch Review

tigerwoods_iph_scree_5

I remember attending an EA press event that showcased a lot of their sports titles, and while most people were getting into the newest soccer, basketball, and boxing titles for XBOX and PS3, or even trying their luck with EA Sports Active, which was coming out soon, I spent most of my time with an iPhone in my hand. I got to play with the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR App Game several months before it … [Read more...]

Tapper Is Coming To The App Store – Seriously

TWT_Logo

Just when you thought everything had an App, here comes Tapper. Yes, Tapper, though now it will be going by the name Tapper World Tour. Many will sadly have no idea what Tapper is, but I can tell you that a fair number of my quarters found their way into these machines back in the day. The general idea is the same, but the game has gotten a massive makeover, and it may well be just the sort of … [Read more...]

Warner Brothers Launches App Edition Films – Kicks Off With Inception And The Dark Knight

TDKAppEd_Home

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...]

HotelTonight App Looks To Revolutionize Spontaneous Stays

mzl.snodbmne.320x480-75

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...]

Droplitz Delight App Review

Droplitz_Delight_materialimage0

Puzzle Apps tend to be pretty hit or miss for me, and even when considering the best ones, I usually lose interest pretty quickly. Droplitz Delight is a new effort as an App, coming over from XBOX Live Arcade, and it has just the right combination of features for a quick iPhone distraction. The game is all about rotating little pieces of pathway in order to create a route for your little … [Read more...]

Slingshot Safari And Slingshot Cowboy App Review

SafariHD_screen_02

In the world of App games, one of the most prevalent genres is the time-waster. Those games that are often somewhat nonsensical, are utterly simple by design, and don't really require a lot of attention. Responsible for an amazing percentage of App downloads, these games are fun, funny, usually silly, and often pretty addictive. Slingshot Safari, the follow-up to Slingshot Cowboy, is such a … [Read more...]

Movies Now App Review

movies-now

Some apps get their value by glitz and wow, but the ones that actually get used on a regular basis simply do work. Usually, pretty simple work too, but in an incredibly convenient way. Such is the case with Movies Now (or MoviesNow, or MoviesNow HD), an app for iPhone and iPad that has been getting a lot of attention recently. It's so simple in fact, that it largely defies description. It's an … [Read more...]

Doodle God App Review. Why The Hell Am I “Playing” This?

scr--11356sm

If you still don't have a smartphone, you've got to get one. I may be something of a tech geek, but generally I despise gadgets for the sake of gadgets. However, at some point everyone who pays enough attention to what's going on in the world discovers that, by God, there really is an App for that. Doodle God, on the other hand, has me stymied. Even considering the entire world of App games, … [Read more...]

RISK Coming To iPhone This Summer

RISK_Card

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...]

Sims 3 World Adventures Hits App Store

ts3wa_iphone1

I hate to sound overly enthusiastic about a company, but EA has been blowing me away with their iPhone App games for quite a while, and now The Sims 3: World Adventures has hit as an App Game. The Sims 3, though limited and largely unable to pull me away from the PC version, is an incredible offering in the world of App Games, and we're taking things up a few notches. Just released, I haven't … [Read more...]

In Connection With Massive Clint Eastwood Box Set Release, Warner Pushing iTunes/Download Availability

Eastwood_iTunes_Guppy

The massive film collection Clint Eastwood 35 Films 35 Years at Warner Brothers might be slightly out of reach for some consumers. In order to roll out as many options as possible, many of the films are also available to rent or buy via download on iTunes, Amazon Video on Demand, Playstation 3, and more. This particular marketing effort got me to thinking, because movies are not something I … [Read more...]

Yamaha PDX-60 iPhone/iPod Speaker Dock

PV_pdx60blsm

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Yamaha. All opinions are 100% mine. iTunes, iPods, and my iPhone have really taken over many aspects of my life, and the fact that my wife also has an iPhone doesn't help that situation at all. It turns out, somewhat to my surprise honestly, that some product in the general category of the Yamaha PDX-60 is an absolute must for me now. That's … [Read more...]

Ninja Assassin App Game For iPhone And iPod Touch

na_screen2

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...]
