Athletics: Summer Sports By Tangram3D iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

Don't even try to tell me you're not loving the Summer Olympics right now. I've been searching for a decent Olympic game app, and I finally found one in Athletics: Summer Sports. Take your country through 30 different events, and 5 competitions like triathlons and decathlons to compete for gold. The games 3D graphics are very good for the iPhone, and I love how many different sports you can play to keep you coming back. If you want to do things like swim, run, long jump, javelin, or row, you'll need to tap the screen repeatedly as fast as you can if you plan on winning a gold medal. Not so fast, if it's one of the longer races, you'll need to change your tapping pace to conserve energy just like Michael Phelps and Missy Franklin! Lets get inspired people, you think this is a joke? Get ready to sweat, give up, even cry, as you battle to beat real scores across the world!

Athletics: Summer Sports doesn't have every Olympic event, but with other sports like diving, fencing, archery, and pistol shooting, there are plenty of events to keep you playing and competing with friends on the leaderboard. You can even split the screen to get you and your lovers blood flowing! If I could add an update, different ways to touch the screen when playing an event would be better, and a difficulty option, as you better plan on losing unless you are a real fast tapping Olympian. Tangram3D has really taken their time with this app, and I hope with great reviews, we'll get more sports and features like the yellow world record line. If you're watching every minute of the Summer Olympics and looking to join in on the medals in the laziest way possible, well except for the finger exercises, Athletics: Summer Sports is the app for you.

Timmy - feat. The Insulting Monkey By Innovation Dreams AB iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

Timmy is one of those apps that seems to have slipped under the radar for awhile now. The developer quotes that it's similar to Angry Birds in the description, so those of you who hate apps that are similar to blockbuster games like Angry Birds and Mario, slowly hit the back button. The game plays very similar to Angry Birds, except you're are a tank, and you need to blow up the Insulting Monkey. If you're are gun shooting app lover, it's nice to be able to use different weapons like missiles, grenades, and sticky bombs. While choosing the correct velocity and angle, you need to blow up the Insulting Monkey and his Banana Warriors!

To keep the screen filled with some physics, you have your usual blocks and walls you can knock down as well. This game isn't too shabby, and I like that the Innovation Dreams AB developer started out with no programming experience, and just picked up a book. Gives me a little hope that someday I can learn too! So if you enjoyed Angry Birds but would like some explosions, check out Timmy - feat. The Insulting Monkey. How could you not download something from a developer who also has a Yo Momma Jokes app!

Catapult King By Chillingo iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

Catapult King immediately caught my eye because of the amazing 3-D graphics. Take Angry Birds, inject it with steroids, and add some knights, castles, dragons, and a princess to rescue. You're behind a catapult staring out at a beautiful green scenery of box castles and nose picking little knights to knock down with cannonballs. The sound and realistic controls as you stretch back on your catapult are perfect.

You can stretch any direction, slide the camera view around your fantasy world to hit a pesky knight in the family jewels, and even change the angle of your catapult. As you get through 64 different levels, you can win cannonballs like Earth Shock, Lunar Strike, and enchant your catapult to really do some damage. If your an app junky like me, you have definitely come across a Chillingo iPhone game. I really enjoy every feature there is to offer, and just writing about Catapult King makes me want to play. In fact, I'm outta here!

CarTunes Music Player By Ryan Oksenhorn iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

I had to do a review on CarTunes Music Player because it's going to be on my iPhone until it dies. Forget your Music iPhone app and swipe, flick, and pinch to your iPod songs. The interface is beautiful, and the multiple screen touches do what they are supposed to. Are you ready for your instructions, don't zone out on me just yet? While listening to a song, slide up with one finger to see your music category lists, or tap to pause and play. Flick left or right to go to the next or previous song, and hold your swipe to fast forward or rewind. You can pinch to see the album, pinch again to see the artist, and even slide down to tweet.

I saved the best feature for last, since many of us have broken volume controls, or a who the heck made this case, and where do my fingers fit! Simply hold and slide up or down with one finger to colorfully increase or decrease the volume. It's always funny to me when an app is better than the app that comes with your iPhone. I guess we wouldn't have apps like CarTunes Music Player otherwise, so good news for us. CarTunes gets a Summer Olympics Gold Medal in my book, well except without the sweat. It could be a little higher than you normally pay for an app like this depending if it's on sale or not, but either way, it's a good one!

Score! By First Touch Games iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

If you enjoy a good iPhone soccer aka football game, Score! Is the app for you. It's not a full season play as Ronaldo and win the Championship, it's not even a flick the ball and kick penalty or free kicks. Score! is a soccer game where you recreate memorable goals from the past, off plays like free kicks and corner kicks. Instead of flicking or touching a button, you draw your path to the goal on the screen. Sound easy? The control and accuracy of where you draw your path is spot on, not to mention the graphics are nothing to complain about. So if you draw your pass just a tad off, the defender will steal the ball.

You have a button to view the correct path to draw for help, move the camera around the screen to see who's in your way, and bend passes around defenders before one touching it pass the goalie. Score! will keep you busy with 420 levels,140 memorable goals, and different difficulty modes to keep it interesting. I could review a 100 soccer apps, but if you've read other WuzAPPenin reviews, you know something needs to be original, and Score is a must download.

Stringz-HD By WingzStudio iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

If you're an iPhone app puzzle and physics game lover, you know there are a ton of Cut The Rope get three stars type games out there. Well if that's what you like, then you'll enjoy Stringz-HD. You are Z, a one toothed round blue alien, and your goal on top of getting stars, is to drop Z into his rocket. To accomplish that, you draw string lines(to roll) and elastic lines(to bounce) to guide Z around bombs, meteors, enter black holes, and other obstacles. Don't go string crazy, as you are limited to the amount of string and elastic you can use on each level.

There is a free version of Stringz-HD, where you get a decent amount of levels, and you can unlock more planets with levels by getting a certain total number of stars. If you enjoy Stringz-HD Lite, then you can buy the paid version with more levels for a nominal price. What really grabbed my attention with this app, is the amazing touch screen user features to be able to zoom in, erase string, switch between string or elastic, and change your strings angles with ease. This is currently the only app for WingzStudio, and Stringz-HD is a great start!

Waze By Waze Inc iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

I was really trying not to do an iphone app review on Waze because it's that's good of a GPS app, and it's completely free. So if you don't all ready have Waze, you will after this review. If you own an iPhone, I don't need to tell you how poor the maps program is compared to any iPhone app out there. If you're like me, you probably searched through all the GPS apps, and refused to pay a high price for something you can't try first. Waze gives you what you've been looking for at the low price of FREE! You get 3D maps, zoom, speed, voice directions, automatic recalculation, multiple routes, search categories, I could probably add ten more commas to this sentence.

Think you'll only use GPS when you don't know how to get somewhere? Waze allows users to update speed traps, accidents, gas, construction, new roads, and more. That way, you will always want to have Waze on so you know everything between you and your destination. I could tell you about the meet ups and who's got the most points depending on how much you report stuff, but if all you want is a good GPS app for free, it's time to download!

Arrow Mania By GMT Development iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

I enjoyed Arrow Mania because I love when I see a puzzle/race iPhone game with a little originality! You are a metal orb(round object), and your goal is to reach the finish line in the fastest time moving left and right using magnets. "What did he just say?" On your way to the finish line, you can do things like pull back to aim and shoot arrows at planes dropping bombs, pop balloons, or shoot at targets to ride up or down the elevators. Make sure you don't shoot the birds, they get pretty mad!

The free version of Arrow Mania, you're given a limited amount of levels, but if you choose to buy the paid version for a small price, you'll get 30. You can also change the level of difficulty to make it more difficult to beat your best times, which makes it a little more challenging with things like faster bombs, and harder to knock down planes. This is the first iPhone app for GMT Development, and I hope with some good reviews, we'll see some more levels soon for Arrow Mania!

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.

Darts Night By Appshen Limited iPhone Review

Follow Twitter | E-mail to Friend | App

If you like to play darts, you will
love Darts Night. The graphics are impecable, and the physics of swiping the darts for an iPhone app are excellent! If I'm going to pay to play an game of darts on my iPhone, I want it to take some skill, and feel like I'm flicking a dart with some accuracy, and you get that. You can play games like 301, 501, and Round the Clock. There are some challenges, and you can play against the computer, pass and play, or online. I like that it shows you your three dart totals at the top, and what you need to hit to win out in your game.

The bad with Darts Night, but hopefully easily updated, is you can only play a limited number of games(no cricket). I would love to see all the games you would see on an electronic dartboard like Killer, Shanghai, and Golf to name a few. Appshen does have another dart iPhone game with some of the other games, but you would have to get both iPhone apps to play more games currently. It's also tough to see exactly what you hit, was that a triple 20? That's enough complaining, because the bottom line is Darts Night is a very well put together iPhone game, and can't wait to see what else they make!
