A while back I started noticing people changing their Facebook profile picture to a celebrity that they looked like. Some pictures were close and others were way off. This got me wondering what celebrities I looked like. No one came to mind so I gave up and went on with my day.  Little did I [...]

A metronome. It is a musician’s best buddy when wanting to succeed in being on beat. As a band geek who loves my saxophone dearly, I had to test this app out. It seems that every band geek and band director has some form of a metronome on their iPhone, so that you don’t have [...]

As you can probably tell by the name, Elven Chronicles is all medieval with swords and dragons and spells and all that. It’s an RPG, and if you’re a big enough nerd to automatically know that an RPG is a role-playing game then this is may be something you could sink your teeth into. People who [...]

There’s been a growing trend among iPhone game releases lately and if you had to sum it up in one phrase it would be ‘has potential but needs work’.  Adding +1 to this trend is the action RPG Dungeonslayer (DS hereafter) from Needsnacks Studios.  This game will remind one of Diablo from the screenshots/video and certainly it appears to [...]

Mike Lightman went ga-ga for ooTunes back in May, calling this app “arguably the most comprehensive & extensive radio app in the App Store.” Sounds like a stamp of approval to me!
I haven’t tried this app myself, but Mike’s review sounds like proof positive that streaming iPhone music actually does go further than Pandora and [...]

I have the music talent of William Hung. And frankly I might be insulting William Hung with that comparison. But the Elionze Group have put together a music app simple enough for even me to make music, yet powerful enough to put together some great loops, exactly how you want them.
I’m talking about FingerBeat. At [...]

Admittedly, before I even downloaded ZAPiT Game’s “4 Degrees – The Arc of Trivia”, I was already a fan. I own their Game Wave console. 4 Degrees is my favorite game for that console.
ZAPiT Games is a small gaming company that has been struggling to hit it big time. It hasn’t been for lack of [...]

Archon from React Games is a faithful remake of the absolutely iconic 1983 8-bit classic from that bygone era when Atari and Commodore computers were bonafide ’high end’ gaming machines.  I played Archon and Archon II obsessively on my beloved Commodore 64 and the reward today is vivid memories of solidly trouncing my friends that’s simply priceless…truly the Golden [...]

 
Proving that you simply can’t have too much of a good thing, here comes Sweetwater Defense from Werebear Games.  This is a TD or tower defense game of the fixed path variety but there’s enough cool stuff here to allow this game to stand out and stake its own claim in the not-so-wild-anymore frontier of this [...]

Ooh la la: Check out this new app from France! Although Open Cellar makes no promises of turning you into a wine connoisseur, I’m hoping it will knock some sense into my fiancé, who’s idea of a good time is a jug of Carlo Rossi from CVS! Open Cellar, originally developed by Matthieu DUCROCQ as [...]

I like a few days to sit with the app before I get it all down on paper. I’ve taken a few extra days with ooTunes because frankly, the app terrified me. Yes, let me repeat – I was scared by a stack of code & some graphics. You think I’m pathetic, admit it. Well, [...]

I remember being kind of disappointed last summer when the iPhone 3G was first released because it didn’t have a radio tuner. Why? I dunno! I never listen to the radio, but for some reason I wanted it. Then came the flood of internet radio apps which seemed like a good enough substitute but there [...]
