Quotes may be short, but those few words can be deeply motivational and inspiring. And especially if they are from someone we respect, they can have a more profound impact. Carol Addassi has taken her appreciation of Vernon Howard’s words to a new level by bringing it to the iPhone to share with all of us. Be Free Now is an application that consists of 621 quotes by Howard, presented in a very pleasing and easy-to-access interface.
There is a button right next to the instruction button that opens up to more information about the author himself. If we are not Read More...
When I think of the game of chess, I envision hours on end of Zen-like concentration and patience in making the right moves. But it is quite a different picture with Speedchess from Process Holding. Here, speed is the name of the game that I would associate with ‘slow’ previously. The rules remain the same though, and there is no shortcut to success but through some quick response of the grey matter.
Perhaps one of the reasons why this version of the game on the iPhone can be played quicker is that there are only 30 squares instead of the standard Read More...
Now, this is quite a unique little one; we have seen so many driving games come and go, but I haven’t seen a doodle driving game yet. Doodle Kart Lite has all the fun of a standard driving game, with some doodle fun and extra surprises thrown in.
We can choose to race alone and let ourselves be the competition. Or if we are in the mood to battle it out, we can race against the computer or take part in a championship. There are Easy, Normal and Hard levels in the championship and CPU races.
The tracks are an interesting part Read More...
Alpine Crawler World has survived the ultimate gaming test in my book – the waiting test. I started playing this game while waiting for a doctor’s appointment the other day, and got so engrossed in it that the usual boring wait passed by in a jiffy.
The features in Alpine Crawler World will make any gamer proud of having it on his device. There are four racing cars to choose from and drive on three different and exciting terrains. The terrains have 10 levels each, so that’s plenty of action on the road less travelled. Both male and female drivers are Read More...
One look at Bella Boo and you know that she is in anguish. Or the fact that she is a vampire fairy might as well account for that dead-pan and yet haunted expression. But seriously, if anyone is having their land invaded by wicked monsters, it would lead to one tormented appearance, right?
We, the gamers, surely cannot simply stand by and watch the helpless little fairy even though she is a vampire> be bullied by those evil creatures. What we can help Bella do is to trace a loop around the enemies with the trail that she leaves behind her. Read More...
If you are a good driver who knows how to take the best short cutes, you could be an ace at this game. But then there is just not one but three cars to control in CarMaze, so it could prove to be a little tricky. In this puzzle game from Hitesh Patel, we have to direct the cars to their respective exits which are similarly colored.
We have several items to do this as we chart out a route for each of them. There are colored arrows that can change the course of the car with the same color, and Read More...
Why do the kids have all the cool applications? The previous review I did was of Tales2Go, and I really liked that. And then I check out Truck Modz, and I think it is high time to persuade developers to maybe start treating adults like kids and give us fun applications like these too.
Truck Modz Build and Drive comes from LotusLand Studios Inc. There is a truck that is driving down the highway with some funky music and even a radio option. But the truck does not have to retain the same look; it is totally up to us to Read More...
If you are looking for an easy and pansy puzzle game, then this is the wrong place to search for it. Aargon is more difficult than the usual game on offer in the puzzle genre, but as difficult also means challenging, it packs quite a punch.
The main aim in Aargon is to make the coins spin. How to make them spin is the complicated part. We have to use a variety of mirrors, prisms and refractors to change the orientation of a laser beam which in turn will touch the coins and make them spin. We can rotate the pieces Read More...
For once it is cool to be square. James Glenn has turned the old falling blocks game around with Bloxomo2. Instead of letting the blocks fall down the bottom of the screen, in his version they fall towards a square frame in the centre. The blocks come in all shapes and sizes, and it certainly makes the original game play more exciting as we have to contend with the challenge of creating squares out of those blocks.
There are the usual options to change the orientation of the moving blocks, both the direction in which they are moving, and the direction Read More...
The butterfly drawing I saw on the screen as soon as I launched the application took my breath away for two reasons. The first obvious reason is the image itself, so beautiful and colorful and professional looking. The second reason was the line beneath the image saying that it was created in the app I had just launched. That got me to thinking that I could probably come up with something like that too, and I got all excited. Thus went my foray into the ArtStudio from Lucky Clan.
ArtStudio is an application that lets us draw and paint top-notch images. Read More...
For someone like me who is into word games big time, Morflets l is a real treat. This game is no stranger on the web with an already established fan following, but it is altogether a different experience on the iPhone. The premise of the game is simple but the game play itself is challenging and requires a lot of strategic thinking.
A game has two different words which represent the start and finish of the game itself. We need to substitute one letter at a time to change the start word to the finishing word, and to do it in Read More...
Finger Dancer somehow reminds me of the dreaded piano lessons I used to have as a kid, but thankfully without the dread-factor. It’s all fun and excitement here, but I guess it’s the need for quick and precise finger movement that brought on the deluge of memories.
The word complex does not exist in the game play of Finger Dancer. Our job here is to touch the circles that appear on the playing screen before they move away or disappear. As for the filled spheres, we need to hold our finger down on them till the blue arc surrounding it disappears; Read More...
