Hey, can you guess what Hint Sprint is? Well duh, it’s right there in the title… it’s a rhyming word game!
The game is 3rd-grade simple: come up with two rhyming words that fit the hint you’re given. In fact, it’s so simple that I can sit here and make up a new puzzle right off the top of my head:
Hint: What I love doing in crowded elevators every chance I get
Solution: Pass Gas
See? It’s that easy!
Update: Tips & Tricks – iPhone Secrets

Earlier this summer I gave everyone a run-through of Tips & Tricks – iPhone Secrets, an iPhone cheatsheet of sorts. It lays out a whole mess of iPhone functionality that a lot of casual users are clueless on and a few things that even the most hardcore iPhone nerds probably don’t know.
Since then we’ve seen the release of the iPhone 3GS and the release of OS3.0, so naturally the folks at Intelligenti Publishing got to work and nearly doubled the number of geeky iPhone secrets from 38 to 70. They were even nice enough to label the tips with little icons that tell you if you’re looking at something that’s improved in 3.0, done differently in 3.0, or completely new in the latest iPhone firmware.

Bellum: Tactics

It’s nice to play a game that doesn’t look like a clone of some other popular game out there. I wouldn’t say that Bellum: Tactics is the most well-executed game I’ve come across, but it plays well and it doesn’t quite fit into the standard turn-based strategy mold. That is something in itself.
In Bellum: Tactics you command three units of soldiers through urban warfare settings. Enemy soldiers lurk around corners and in fortified positions, waiting for you to cross their sights. Eliminate the enemy to achieve your objective, and try to keep your soldiers alive in the process.

The Terminator

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from 30+ years of rotting my brain on video games it’s that killing robots is cool!! The Terminator is full of robots (duh!) and the object is to kill ‘em all while you meet certain objectives, so I’m not surprised that this is a pretty kickass game.
Big Head Games Ltd. partnered up with Dark Horse Comics to produce this app and they’ve done a mostly-great job of creating a game that fits in nicely with The Terminator’s 20-year gaming history. It comes with both a story mode and a “quick game” mode, and if you buy this app I’d recommend starting with the story as it’s a good way to get used to the controls and get a feel for moving around the often cluttered environments.
iSpace 3D

There are a few apps out there that try to take you on a virtual tour of The Milky Way and show you the rings around Ur-anus, but iSpace 3D ain’t one of them! Vanilla Breeze’s entry into the space tour app genre is just a leisurely stroll through outer space that doesn’t attempt to educate you on anything; it just plays a celestial-sounding soundtrack and gives you the option to use the app as a big clock.
You can choose to steer your flight with the accelerometer or lock the screen in place and watch stars drift past you.
That’s about it! I don’t know crap about astronomy so I didn’t really notice whether actual celestial bodies are depicted in this app, but if they’re not I think they should be. It would give this space flight some purpose and do a lot for justifying the price. On a brighter note, this app will defer to your iPod, but you have to turn off the iSpace music first, then start your music.
So is iSpace 3D worth $1.99? Eh… not for me, but if you’re a space nut and use a telescope for something other than peeping through windows, you might dig it.

Rise of Atlantis

I am completely burned out on match 3 games…at least I thought I was until I started playing Rise of Atlantis from SkyZone (originally developed by Terminal Studio; iPhone port by Gamelion Studios). Despite some criticisms which I will level at this game shortly, it captures that addictive quality all developers pray for with a combination of slick presentation and casual gameplay. I’m going to assume you know the basic mechanics of match 3 games; if you don’t check one of the many other reviews on this site in that category. In RoA you ‘Journey’ through 7 classic civilizations in the Mediterranean, gathering an artifact from each one to place in an ancient relic on the Altar of Poseidon with the ultimate goal of raising the lost city of Atlantis from the depths. RoA features some excellent graphics and visual effects; you will not be disappointed with that aspect. Generous amounts of animation keep the playfield lively, active and most importantly, interesting. The BGM is well done and keeps to the theme of the game. Gameplay starts very easy in Phoenicia but by the time you reach the last civ Troy the levels are much more challenging. You play up to 12 levels per civ (77 total) in classic match 3 style and timed (though don’t worry as in most cases there’s more than enough) but littered around the playfield are a number of possible items: artifact pieces (always present), powerups, locked/double-locked tiles, frozen/double-frozen tiles and rocks (as of Journey 2). There could possibly be more stuff too but I’ve not played to Journey 3 yet.

Big thanks to everyone who posted comments on iButterToast and iJog!
There were only four iJog codes to give out and they’re all gone, but Freedom Hobby laid down a ton of codes (50 in all, one if which I used myself) so… starting with this batch… I’m going to distribute the remainder over the next couple of days!
Comments on what you think of the app are still welcome but it’s no longer a prerequisite to grab a code for buttering toast. However, a comment saying which one you took is, and always will be, appreciated. :P
