SplitApple By MKO Games iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

Since archery was one of the most watched sports of the 2012 Summer Olympics, I figured it was time to find a solid iPhone game to give you your bullseye fix. I've downloaded a slew of archery iPhone games, and the only one that met most of my expectations was SplitApple. The graphics resemble a 3D painting as you stare down the bullseye, surrounded by swaying trees and city neighborhoods in the backdrop. To fire your arrow, all you have to do is slide your finger down the button to zoom in, move your iPhone around to aim, and let go. What keeps the game realistic and challenging, is you can choose different wind directions, change the target distance, and even change to moving targets. Feeling confident, see if you can slice apples in half hanging from the trees to get bonus points. I even love the accent when the game say's "spleet apple", or "bools eye".

You'll keep this app for awhile as you can compare your scores on the leaderboard, and choose from five different playing options. PRACTICE before you embarrass yourself on the leaderboard, CHALLENGE switches up distance and targets, shoot fast in TIME TRIALS if you're flight attendant said "please turn off all electronic devices", SURVIVAL, miss the target and lose an arrow, hit a bull or apple, gain arrows. Finally there's POP UP where you aim at random targets that, you guessed it, pop up. Don't like the direction you have to move your iPhone to aim? No problem, in options you can change that as well as change the bow side if you're left handed. I was hoping to find an Olympic archery game so I could nervously wait for the right moment to let go of the arrow as it sticks in the bullseye to beat Italy! SplitApple and its multiple price options including a free version, is not a brand new app to meet that Summer Olympic expectation, but it doesn't matter, because I've yet to find something better in its category!

Amazing Alex by Rovio Entertainment LTD iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

If you’re into physics games, you’ll love Amazing Alex by the makers of Angry Birds. Your goal is to hit all three stars on each level, by moving the toy objects in Alex's bedroom to create a chain reaction, while getting his toys in the basket. Depending on the board, to reach all three stars, you use a soccer ball, pop a balloon, knock over books, and many more toys to get the job done. The game starts off easy tutorial style, and shows you exactly what to do, but as you get past a few boards, get ready to use your brain!

Currently there are 100 levels to unlock, and the neat thing is you also will have the ability to build your own levels using 35 objects, and share the levels you created with your friends and vice versa. Just like Angry Birds, you will love the cartoonish colorful graphics, as well as a glitch free game to keep you from pulling your hair out. Rovio doesn’t need any marketing, because if you haven’t played one of their games by now, you’ve been living under a rock, or I guess don’t own a smart phone! If physics games are up your alley, Amazing Alex is a must download.

Booty Diver Free By Donnerwood Media iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

Be careful playing Booty Diver, as I found myself gasping for air. This iPhone game has pretty decent 3D graphics, and you are a scuba diver grabbing items like treasure chests, crowns and air tanks, before you run out of air or are eaten by sharks. You have six dive sights to choose from, and you begin atop the peacefully realistic ocean waters. The good news is if the sound is on, you get a jaws like sound to warn you a shark is at your toes, but if the sound is off, swim for your life! Sometimes you just feel like pretending you're underwater while at work or on the couch, and Booty Diver is an iPhone game that gives you that feeling.

To control your diver, you move your finger around the screen to swim, and tilt your iphone to look around as well. I'd love to see some updates to be able to harpoon the sharks, or maybe even get in the boat and drive to different locations. If I needed to categorize Donnerwood Media based on what they have in the App Store so far, they are all about the 3D graphics, and Booty Diver is worth a download.

Clear Vision 17+ By FDG Entertainment iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

STOP here if you don't like Stickman iPhone apps! Clear Vision is a Stickman sniper shooter iPhone game that has a nice little story to it. You need to successfully complete 25 missions which involve killing a particular stickman in different situations. What makes it a bit more fun is calculating wind and distance, and sometimes you even get to call your victim before you kill them.

In this iPhone app you are paid for completing your mission, and eventually you can purchase better sniper guns. You can even bet on stickman simulated underground boxing to earn more money. I also got a kick out of the newspaper you can read each day, to read about the people you killed. I expect FDG Entertainment will add new missions hopefully soon, and they also have a good amount of iPhone apps in the app store with good ratings, and Clear Vision is a doctors office waiting room time killer worth download.

Mole Kart By Taomee Entertainment iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

I seem to have this problem trying to find anything close to anything Super Mario, and Mole Kart is just that, the closest iPhone app I've seen to Mario Kart. Half the iphone users seem to have a problem with ripping off Mario type games, but to make an analogy, i'm pretty sure most singers and actors were influenced and inspired by other singers and actors, so "Wuz" the difference! To get the bad out of the way, the Kart is much too small. The graphics are as good as you could ask for in an iPhone app, but it's not as exciting with a Kart that's at least half the size it should be. Past that and the fact the size makes it a little more difficult to control and miss the items in the road, Mole Kart is an app I could see getting better and better.

They all ready have a new version coming later this summer. You've got your usual pick up items off the track, and what ever it turns up as you can use to slow down your opponents. For instance toss the banana peel and bombs, speed boosts, lightning, and many others that are listed in the apps glossary. I also like how you can shake the iPhone when you are going over a jump to go faster, just like you can do with the Wii remote if you've played Mario Kart. You have three play options: item mode, speed mode, and multiplayer local bluetooth or wifi. So if you love Mario Kart like most of us do, I'd stay on top of these developers, as Mole Kart is, and will be a really fun iPhone app game with a few good updates.

Freekick Battle By GAMEVIL iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

For those soccer fans, you can search for a good few hours with all the soccer iPhone apps out there. What I like about Freekick Battle is the colorful clear graphics, and the ability to lose 30 minutes without blinking. Freekick Battle is easy to control, but not always easy to score with defenders in the way. You move your finger around a soccer ball to aim high, low, and bend left or right with the correct power. In your way is a wall of defenders, and of course a moving goalie.

This iPhone app has an online mode where you play against an opponent on a race to 3000 points. If I could change some features, I'd like to see the ability to bend a little further, and some different modes to keep it exciting. GAMEVIL has a ton of iPhone games in the App Store, and Freekick Battle is worth a download.

Mike & Milkbox By Docob Media Service iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

Mike & Milkbox brings a Mario type feel with coins, jumping on blocks, smashing, and a bit of physics. Instead of being a Mario type character, you are a bird in this iPhone game, so hopefully there will be some updates to change characters as it is needed. You can scroll through four different chapters each with six boards.

The physics aspect is pushing boxes and long sticks to help you through your travels. Like all the Mario type iPhone games I have found,Mike & Milkbox isn't going to blow you away with neat features, but my vote is we pay attention to this developer, as they are on the right track.

Augmented Car Finder By AugmentedWorks iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

"This happens every time, you never pay attention!" Have you heard something similar to that before when you've walked around for 30 minutes looking for your car? You could probably find 100 car finding iPhone apps, but what I love about Augmented Car Finder is you get out of your car, you click "Save a new position!", and your done.

When you are ready to head back to the car, you just open the iPhone app, and hold it out in front of you. With Augmented Reality, you just follow the directions while looking at your live camera screen. Never will you ever forget where you parked again. I've used Augmented Car Finder at airport parking garages, downtown, and most importantly, concerts where you head back in the dark to a sea of 10,000 vehicles in a muddy parking lot with complete accuracy.

Swim Meet: Finger Racing By Darwin 3D iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

Well it is Olympic swimming time, so you probably want to pretend you're Michael Phelps or Missy Franklin right? Swim Meet is a very simple yet fun iPhone app. There are 5 different races: freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, and 400 m individual medley. You put two fingers down as feet until the race starts, and when the gun goes off, you move your fingers on the screen as it tells you to. The better and faster you move your fingers on the iPhone screen, the faster you'll go. All you can do right now is compare your fastest time on Game Center against the world.

You will have played this whole iPhone game in a matter of five minutes, so at this point it probably will not stay on your iPhone for very long. What would keep this iPhone app on my iPhone longer, is if they could add a little animation to the water, and Ryan Lochte under water as you move your fingers. That way you could see someone swimming which would be much more exciting. Since this iPhone app all ready has the online leader board, I'd also love to see the ability to race against friends and others online, and also see other swimmers next to you, so you know if you need to step it up a notch. I say check Swim Meet out, and if you feel the same as I do, maybe we'll get a nice update soon!

Atlantis Oceans By Sunrise Software iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

I felt myself trying to find some sort of underwater iPhone game, and really found nothing until Atlantis Oceans. You are a male or female scuba diver, and you dive into the depths of the ocean snatching up a slue of different fish. Try and grab multiple of the same fish in a row, and you'll rack up more combo points to spend in the store. You can buy better air tanks, scuba gear, depth, a harpoon to kill sharks, and many other gadgets.

bAs you buy more, you will be able to go deeper into the caves of the ocean, and finally find the treasure to move on to the next ocean somewhere else. No problem right? Except for the fact there are a ton of flesh eating sharks! There is a free version which gives you plenty to try, and if you enjoy like I did, you can purchase their iPhone app for a few bucks. Atlantis Oceans looks like the only iPhone game from Sunrise so far, buy clearly they know what they are doing, and I can't wait to see what's next!
