AOL, MSN, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Jabber, ICQ, MySpace. I’m sure that most of us use a few if not all of these IM networks. And even for those of us who do, here comes along an application to help us keep connected to all of them, and more. It is quite an irony, but it can prove to be a headache trying to connect to services that connect us to people. And that is hen IM+ Lite steps into the picture to relieve us.
I like the simplicity with which we can start using it. There is no 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...
The best thing I like about this application is that it is the real stuff, not the cheesy or gory kind. We are talking about horror stories here, and I am so tired of the modern day zombies and vampires and simply mutated creatures. The saying that old is gold is so true; the classic horror stories dished out in 100 Horror Stories, Sounds and Scares sends chills down the spine like no pansy little story can.
The application does not only have stories but also sounds to add to the experience. We can listen to them anytime or while reading 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...
I know that this is supposed to be an application for kids, but even though I am not one, I totally loved it. Tales2Go also comes under the Education section, but it is pure entertainment too. If listening to stories is not entertaining, then what is? And it is not just any story, but any story of our choice that we want to listen to from among the hundreds of stories included in this application.
The range and number of stories is mind-boggling, to say in the least. We can choose which one we want to listen to according to several 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...
If there is one superpower that I wish for, it would be for the ability to read minds. I think it would be so much easier for me to deal with people in any sphere of life. I would then be able to gauge their reactions to anything I say or do, and act accordingly. Such a swell thought!
The PAR Group has blessed us with something similar to this otherwise unattainable power on the iPhone. iPAR MindReader gives us guidelines to read others so that we can have a productive interaction with each other. The application is laid out in Read More...
Some people have the natural talent of picking up languages without much effort. Sadly I am not one of them. And even for those who are pros, I’m sure that an application like TripSpeak French would ease the process. Speaking of which, who is not enamored with French, the language of romance? So I also set off with a brave and studious heart to take a look at this application.
TripSpeak French takes us beyond the boring and often impossible translation lessons to use images instead to teach us. It contains 24 lessons based on a specific theme with 20 words Read More...
I have a feeling the day is not far off when I will wake up to find that I can use my iPhone as a toothbrush. It is remarkable how this one device can transform itself into so many other utilities. Its latest avatar (I just couldn’t help using that expression) is of a Headset courtesy SHAPE services.
Headset allows us to convert the iPhone and iPod Touch 2nd Gen into a wireless headset. We can use it on Yahoo, Google Talk, Skype, MSN, YouTube and more PC applications. It is also possible to record and listen to the conversations later, 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...
