The developer Brian Hammond brings his first app into the App Store, and it looks like its a must-have app! For everyone who is a fan of Dart games, Brian Hammond has released Darts, the best dart game in the App Store! Darts comes with 2 dart games: X01 and Cricket. X01, which is the most popular darts game, is when you have to hit numbers to get your score from a pre-set score back to 0. The objective of Cricket (which was a new one for me) is to hit a number between 15-20 and Bulls-eye 3 times each. The first person to do so, wins. This game is pretty simple to play, but can range in difficulty from fairly easy, to practically impossible! [Read more…]
The fella’s over at StarByte are proud to present Black Mamba Racer! This game is a pretty challenging game about racing in teeny cars amongst many different race tracks. When you first open the app, it asks for your name. This will be your profile name throughout the whole game however, you can change it in the Options menu. Once you enter a name, it takes you to the main menu where you can select from; Play, Options, or Help. Help will bring you to a screen where the Black Mamba Racer gives you a few tips on how to play, and strategies on how to win. Options brings up the normal options, such as Game Volume, Name Change, and others. Play will bring up the level select screen. Levels are set up in 2 races. The first is a time trial to see if you can complete the track in the allotted time. The second one is where you actually race against 4 other drones (Blue one is the toughest opponent, then Green, then Yellow, and White is not so good ;) ). 
Today a new mod was released (via ModMyiFone) called QuickUnlock. Don’t be confused, they’re talking about Lock Screens, not GUI SIM Card unlocks! What it does is it allows easy access to your springboard by simply tapping the Home button 3 times consecutively. When you tap it 3 times, it temporarily shows your springboard for 10 seconds (unless the Home button is tapped again or an app is launched) and locks again. It installed easily and works like a charm. The only concern is you have to press the Home button pretty fast to trigger it. This is a great mod to use when you quickly have to access something.
One of the best, high-quality games back in the 1.1.4 days has been ported to 2.1! This game has always been one of my favorites, and much hasn’t changed since back then. First thing you see is that title screen we all fell in love with. After that, you now see a new level select. Once you select a level, the game overall follows a little story giving you specific items to tap each level. Also, when you tap something, it gives a nice realistic echo of a bullet falling to the floor, which I find really neat and professional. The game overall does get a bit challenging, and is pretty long as well. Other than that, it’s the 
I’m SURE you guys are familiar with the app “BubbleWrap”, right? If not, it’s a really addicting, yet pointless app of popping bubbles on bubble-wrap (I’m sure it’s something EVERYONE enjoyed doing as a kid). Well, meet their big sister. This app is from the same company and has the same gameplay, but with a twist: if you get the highest score, you win MONEY. Here’s how it works: the app records your high score on a huge list, and it displays the top 10 high scores when you record yours. The coolest thing about it is that contests NEVER STOP. Once one contest ends, another one begins. And they’re fairly long, usually a week. 
Recently, there has been a couple of files in Cydia that have caught my eye. These were lockscreen animations. This made me pretty excited because I could finally de-uglify my lock screen. There are 3 available through the ModMyiFone source, one of KoiFish, one of Clown Fish, and one (for the guys) of a speedometer. They’re pretty neat an add a nice touch to the customization of your iPhone. It’s also something nice to look at when you unlock (literally, not SIM card unlock) your iPhone instead of a stale picture. Since this has been discovered, I’m sure we’re gonna see a lot more being released in the next couple of days, or even weeks!
Now, I’m not sure if it works with a 3G iPhone, so feel free to tell me in the comments. The guys over at iClarified (which are notorious for findings and mods) have made an article on how to Unlock/Jailbreak an iPhone 2G. Here’s the link to the article; it also contains download links for everything you will need to do it with. Looks like a easy-ish process, but that’s for you to judge!
AptBackup is an application in Cydia that makes restoring 1000% less painful. It is in the BigBoss source and is a 43 kB download. Here is the text from the app:
This is honestly, in my opinion, the best game in the App Store so far. It’s quality challenges even those of PlayStation One games, which is a break-thru for a game on a mobile device. This game is fairly popular not only on the iPhone, but other mobile devices as well, and have had access to this quadrilogy for years.
