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 »

I’m back! D’ya miss me? I missed you! No, really – I did, I’m not just saying it.
I would have been back sooner if it wasn’t for the completely mindless waste of time that I’ve been sucked in to – yeah, ok, Mafia Wars (shout out to my amazing and ever-expanding crew) – but also, Pub Trivia by GeoTeam Games.
My mind is a vast wasteland of useless trivia, thanks to my 11th grade history teacher, who started each day with a trivia question. It stuck with me, and I have been a fan of random bits of information ever since. For example, did you know that Nepal is the only country in the world whose flag is NOT rectangular? Why do I need to know that?
Pub Trivia is an outlet for the flotsam and jetsam running around in my brain. It works just like Buzztime, the bar trivia game you may have played at your local drinking establishment. Log in with a user name and location and join in the fun, answering trivia questions. Each question has four possible answers and, as times ticks by, possible answers are eliminated. But so are points. Score 150 if you get the answer right before an option is eliminated, 100 if one possible is eliminated, 50 if two, and zero if three. Of course, if you guess wrong, you lose points.
Pub Trivia will even assign you to a team, based on your geographical location, to compete against other trivia buffs online at the same time. Teams, obviously, fare better than individuals in overall scoring domination. Once a game of 10 trivia questions is concluded, the app shows you the score board, where you place as an individual player, where your team places, and where you placed as a team contributor.
Overall, a fun little app for a tiny little price. Plunk down your cash and watch your time get sucked into a vortex. Enjoy!

I often claim to be a complete moron – which I totally am! – but I still love quiz games. Answering trivia questions is how I reassure myself that I’m not THE dumbest person on the planet, so naturally PrimeTime Quiz Show grabbed my attention.
As soon as you launch the app it’s apparent that PixelLive poured some considerable sweat into building a real alternative for the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire crowd. Aside from the obvious App Store icon similarity, PrimeTime Quiz comes complete with a virtual gameshow host, multiple choice questions, “life lines”, and a question ladder that stretches from $100 to $1,000,000.
