Blokt – Puzzle Game

Available In: App Store       Price: $o.99  

Blokt If you like puzzle games as much as I do, I’m pretty sure you’ll love Blokt. Blokt is a game where there are several different sized rectangles in the way of the red rectangle.The goal is to clear the way for the red to exit the box that the rest are in. The blocks that are pointing up and down can only move up and down and the blocks that are pointing side to side can only move side to side. The concept is pretty simple but then again, so is a rubix cube! That’s pretty much it… there are really no settings to speak of and as far as I can tell everything is pretty self explanatory.

Balls Up – Keep the Ball Off the Ground

Balls Up The object of Balls Up is to keep the soccer ball from hitting the ground. You do so by tapping on the ball. I have to quote the developer on this because it is soooo true, “Balls Up is a simple game that’s easy to pick up and play but deceptively hard to master.”

This application does not need much of a description…tap the ball to keep it in the air. Though, I did find that if you tap towards the bottom of the ball you will have a little more success. Now, for as simple as this game is, I’m seriously terrible at it! I don’t know if I’m like not getting into the groove of things or if I haven’t found the perfect way to tap the ball or what but, I can’t get over 11!! Yes, 11! Then I got too frustrated and had to put it down! Then, I made the mistake of looking at the Online Leaderboard (which opens in the application) where people have a score of 400 or more! So, my competitiveness kicked in and I gave it another shot. [Read more…]

Star Defense – Coming Soon to the App Store

Available In: App Store       Price: Available in May  

Star DefenseThe developer’s of Topple, Topple 2, Rolando and Dropship bring you Star Defense. I have actually been receiving info about ngmoco’s Star Defense for a while now however, it seems that the application is going to be showing up in the App Store some time this month so I thought it would be a good time to pass it along.

Star Defense is a tower defense game…it reminds me of games like Fieldrunners, Defend Your Castle and TapDefense. Like those applications, the object is to defend yourself against the on-coming enemy. We do not have a ton of info about the app but it does seem like you are able to buy/upgrade your defenses similar to other tower defense games. However, it also seems like you will be able to play against your friend’s via Twitter and Facebook. [Read more…]

Myst for the iPhone

Air Sail

Available In: App Store       Price: $1.99  

Air SailOk, I think that games that us the mic to blow into them are brilliant, but they make me light headed so they eventually get annoying. In this game, Air Sail, you blow your little Styrofoam boat around by blowing into the microphone. There is an option to use your finger and just tap on the screen to go but blowing is much more sensitive and easier to control. You just tilt left and right to steer, which is also easy to control. The graphics are pretty good and the way the screen zooms in and out based on your speed is a nice touch. A major feature is the ability to play multiplayer on a wifi network. Works great!

BrainFreeze – Challenge Your Brain With This Puzzle Game

Available In: App Store       Price: $1.99  

BrainFreeze BrainFreeze is a challenging puzzle game. The object of the game is to get each of the two cubes that are the same color to touch one another. I know, it sounds like your typical puzzle game but, this one is unique. When you tilt your iPhone or iPod Touch (or touch the screen…depending on which setting you have on)…all the blocks move in that direction. At first, the levels are pretty easy to get you used to the concept of the game. However, as the levels go on, they introduce different “challenges” into the game play such as fences, arrows, blocks, lock areas and pits. The challenges make the game very tricky and you truly have to use your brain in order to solve the puzzles! [Read more…]

Lexic – Sweet Word Game

Available In: App Store       Price: $3.99  

Lexic Lexic is a pretty sweet word game. I don’t know if word games are your thing or not but, I love them and this one is definitely among the best! The object of the game is to find as many words as possible among the letters on the screen but, depending on your game mode, the letters disappear as you use them and new ones fall into their place (it’s like a cross between Bejeweled and Boggle!).

Tap Memory – Test And Expand Your Memory Abilities

Available In: App Store       Price: $1.99  

Tap Memory Tap Memory is a game that will “test and expand your memory abilities.” The object of the game is to remember the numbers that were displayed on the screen and then tap the them in the correct order…as quickly as possible!

When the app opens, you get a main menu with four options; New Game, Resume Game, Multiplayer and High Scores. If you select New Game, you are then given three difficulty level options; Easy, Medium and Hard. Once you select a difficulty level, you will get the a screen displaying which level you are on and which wave with-in that level. Each level has five waves. When you begin, there will be circles with numbers in them. You must then quickly “memorize” all the numbers. Once the numbers disappear, you then tap the circles in order starting with the circle that contained the lowest number and ending with the circle that contained the highest number. The game starts off easy with just three numbers and a slow disappear rate however, each wave gets a little faster with-in the levels and each level adds another number! You also get more points the faster you tap the circles. It quickly becomes difficult! [Read more…]

X’s and O’s Football

Available In: App Store Price: $1.99

X’s and O’s Football I don’t play video games much, but when I do, I often go straight to the sports simulation games. Madden Football, NBA Live, Earl Weaver Baseball (OK, I’m dating myself now…) Thus, I was excited to give X’s and O’s Football a test drive after seeing some decent reviews in the app store.

Overview
The game is quite simple with no real options other than the main game. You are in control of a 5-player team that consists of a quarterback, a lineman, and three wide receivers. You can choose from 8 plays that show your receivers’ routes and then touch the screen to pass to your receiver. Tilt the iPhone/Touch to move the receiver after the catch and score as many touchdowns as you can.
