I don’t consider myself a newshound, but I do like to be in the know. I keep an eye on Wiki trends, Twitter trends and get weather and breaking news updates by SMS.
Anytime a story about the iPhone or BlackBerry comes out, I want to know. Plus, there are artists, authors, and actors I’m a little ashamed to say I know more about than I probably should.
RSS feeds are a good way to stay on top of those tidbits and I have three such apps that I rotate among depending on the features included in their latest updates. But as good as RSS is, it’s a pain to have to mine through 1000+ articles to find that small handful of gems worth my time to read.
That’s where NewsAlert can be a handy app to have.

You know the look. You know the sound.
Some things you hear and never forget them. The ‘chung-chung’ sound of a Law & Order episode. The sound of the Bionic Woman or the $6 Million Dollar Man running. The sound the moving red eye of a Cylon from the original Battlestar Galactica.
Chances are, you’ve seen a Newton’s Cradle before. In science or physics class, the teacher would break out one of those bad boys to illustrate the principle of Conservation of Momentum, or maybe the difference between potential and kinetic energy. And, yeah, the Cradle might have taught you about science, but in truth, it was just fun to watch and play with.
Now, through Logic Consulting, LLC, you can have your very own simulated Newton’s Cradle on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Earlier this week Ubisoft released AC2 Multiplayer for free as a promotion. Launching a well known title I’m sure they expected a lot of downloads, which they got, but what they weren’t expecting was a buggy release where a majority of people couldn’t even play a round. Ubisoft is aware of the situation and extended the free promotion until their update is released. I picked up the game and like many I was unable to play, that is until I tried to create my own game. If you try to do a quick play the load circle just goes and goes giving you no sense of progress on weather people are joining the game or if its just frozen. When you create your own game you see all four slots so when someone joins the game you can see. This is the only way I have been able to play a game so if you got the game and have the same problem I had try this method out. If you haven’t downloaded the game I would recommend doing it fast because the update can come at anytime.
It really works

Q&F : Zombie Defense

Save the cheerleader, save the world? Not quite, though there is a cheerleader and she could help you save the world.
In Zombie Defense, rural Texas has been- except for four survivors- taken over by zombies, all a-hankering for a hunk of your merry band. By day, you search for contraband to use in a crusade against carnivorous corpses. At night, you make your stand: in an alley, gym, or post office. The draw of these locations is that there’s only one point of entrance.
This is a strategy game, so if you position and equip your players wisely, you might just survive 20 nights of zombie attacks.
Oh. I should point out that although it’s free to download, it only gets you through the first few nights; Zombie Defense is one of those in-app purchase deals that will cost you .99 cents to unlock the remaining nights.
Good hunting!

(8 votes, average: 4.63 out of 5) Loading ...iPhone App Reviews.net does not charge for reviews. We used to offer an unsolicited paid option called “POV” (meaning that we weren’t actively fishing for paying developers) but that has been discontinued.
The reason I’m bringing this up is that I recently got this email from an apparently angry spectator:
—–Original Message—–
Subject: iPhone App Reviews: ThanksHow I found iPhone App Reviews:

Message:
…for demonstrating the fastest way to drop to absolute zero credibility.
The website featured in that “shakedown” is NOT the one you’re looking at right now. See, this website is called iPhone App Reviews.net… that’s “reviews” plural, as in more than one, and it’s .net not .com, and we don’t use “the” in our URL. I know a lot of iPhone website names sound similar, but if you ever read about an iPhone app review website charging for reviews it won’t be us.
“Thanks”,
Michael
P.S. Kudos to Sandwich Dynamics on the hilarious reply to the shakedown!
