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 good products. The Game Wave is a simplistic console that hardware-wise is little more than a DVD player with six remotes. But the games are all designed to allow up to six players to play at once without having to wait and take turns. 4 Degrees is a sharp-looking game that I really enjoy playing with friends. I’ve been hoping word would get out, and someday ZAPiT would hit it big time. The Game Wave console itself has yet to be a big hit, so now the company is branching out with online gaming, and iPhone games. Read the rest of this entry »

Zynga’s Vampires Bloodlust follows a familiar formula already established by Mafia Wars and the like. You perform missions to earn experience and currency, which in this case is blood. And proving that the only thing deadlier than predators is a society of predators, you can turn against your fellow undead and attack other players. Gameplay isn’t anything new or particularly exciting. That being said, I felt this game deserved some discussion.

The iPhone is far from perfect. But perhaps its greatest appeal is its ability to replace several separate cumbersome and expensive gadgets with one simple device. With Garafa’s GPS Kit, even the most ardent GPS enthusiasts may be able to set aside their dedicated GPS units and reach for their iPhone instead. I took version 3.2 out for a spin, which works well with OS 3.0 on my 3G S.
For those who don’t own dedicated GPS units, you may be wondering if you need anything more than the basic functionality that the iPhone provides out of the box, especially for an app priced at $9.99. The iPhone by default comes with an application which pulls up Google maps. It can find your current location, show you maps around the globe, and provide directions by car, bus or foot.
