Wanted

iTunes LinkWanted is a photo editing app by Portegno Apps. FreeThis is the first review we have done that isn't a game so it will be done a bit differently. Instead of gameplay, graphics and sound we will have purpose (How well the app serves its purpose), design (how well the app is done and the ease of use) and our opinion (what we think of this type of app)Wanted is a very entertaining app which I spent hours with photos of my friends to make them a wanted criminal from the wild west. This app is made to pimp out photos of yourself and your friends. This app and its sister app, Cartoonizme serve this purpose very well and Wanted actually...

Smash It Up

iTunes LinkSmash It Up is a Target game by Tag Games. $0.99I reviewed this game while it was All Stars Quarterback. It is basically the same apart from instead of using a football, Smash It Up uses bricks. I quite enjoyed this game with its simple gameplay and great design. There are two different game modes, versus and time attack to play. I will go into detail about these later on. This game kept me coming back for more all the time, a very addictive game.The graphics in this game are super impressive for a $1 game. There aren't many games for $1 that I have seen put these sorts of graphics in their game and pull it off as well as Tag Games...

Kenny Rogers Video Poker

iTunes LinkKenny Rogers Video Poker is a gambling game by PlayScreen. $4.99Being a poker fan I was interested to see if this game met my Gambling needs. I haven't had much experience with the video poker so this review will be based on what it is like for people who have never played poker or haven't played it much. Experienced Video Pokerers will enjoy this game also. The game starts you with $500 to bet and spend. There is nothing to achieve in the game which disappoints me. I would have liked to see some achievements such as 100 wins, $500 down etc etc.The graphics are quite good are achieve what is needed for the game. Everything is clear...

Tank Warrior

iTunes LinkTank Warrior is a shooting game by Twin Gravity. $1.99Tank Warrior surprised me with how fun this game is. It is very simple and easy to play, just tilt to move the army tank and touch where you want to shoot at. There are eight level packs to choose from, each has four levels and a boss level at the end of it. There is no scoring, no time limit, so it is a great game to go flat out or take your time completing it. I was interested in how it would go with Crazy Tanks being so dominant but it is a totally different game.The graphics in this game are simple but I was surprised to see that it was really detailed. Some of the backgrounds...

Mystic Jewels

iTunes LinkMystic Jewels is NOT a match 3 game by PlayScreen. $0.99Mystic Jewels is a very clever strategy game. While it does look like another matching game, it is far from it. The aim of the game is to remove all jewels from the board. This is done by upgrading the Jewels until the are destroyed and sent out waves which start a chain reaction, earning you more points. It sounds simple but if you don't make big chain reactions, the number of moves which you get will get be down dramatically, causing you to lose the game. This is very addictive and a great game to play.The graphics are simple and not over the top. The Jewels are pretty detailed...

Petri

iTunes LinkPetri is coloring game by Matthew Gillingham. $0.99Petri is a simple game where you must color in the screen a certain color to get to the next level. Its quite a fun little game but I couldn't stand playing it for long periods of time as it got very repetitive. With 100 levels to complete it will take a good half an hour to complete all of them, I managed to get my time down to about 20 seconds per level.The graphics are good. They are bright and do their job. Nothing extra could really be done with the game graphics wise without putting the price up. I don't think it should be done as the gameplay isn't really worth more than the...

Paper Airplane

iTunes LinkPaper Airplane is a game of survival by Lilasoft. $0.99Paper Airplane is an endless yet simple game where you must dodge certain items while collecting others. There are three difficulty levels, easy, medium and hard and on each you have three lives to try and last as long as possible. The game seemed hard for me even on easy with the controls to start with, it may make a difference when you play using the y axis controls, but after a few tries you get the hang of the gameplay.The graphics aren't that flash. Everything is pixelated and the birds are hard to see at times. I would like to see updated graphics as well as the game zoomed...

Sneezies

iTunes LinkSneezies is a popping game by Antair Games. $0.99Sneezies is a cheap, fun game which can be played for a few minutes or a few hours. Never have I played a game where I am shouting at my iDevice because the cute ball of fluff won't sneeze! The aim of the game is to pop so many sneezies each level to advance, this is surprisingly hard and very addictive. With two similar games mode, Classic and Challenge to complete with 60 levels all up, it will take a long time to complete this game.The graphics in this game are very detailed, while being cute at the same time. The game is bright and colorful with its detailed backgrounds and cute...

99Games Special: Jigsaw Wild

iTunes LinkJigsaw Wild is a puzzle game by 99Games. $1.99Jigsaw Wild is a themed jigsaw app. I was quite surprised with the number of puzzles that you got for $1.99, more than 90 puzzles already on the app! I wondered how well a jigsaw game would go on the iPhone and this one delivered I believe. There are a few parts of the game that I would like to tweak but has a good variety of puzzles to complete. The graphics of the puzzles are pretty good. The puzzles which you must solve are real life photos which are nice and detailed. Solving the puzzle is very smooth, when the right pieces are joined, they click together and can be moved around. One...

Everytime you achieve the required total you move up a level. This game is easy to go and play straight away. When the game finished downloading I automatically went to play the game and got the hang of it straight away. The graphics are quite simple and expertly done. There is nothing over the top or in your face as it is not needed for a game like this. The game has a slick feel to it with the ease of making words.

99Games Special: Chess Lite

iTunes LinkChess Lite is a Chess Game by 99Games. $0.99Chess Lite is the simplified version of 99Games' Chess Pro. This review will be a bit different to other ones, as we will be comparing the Pro and Lite version. The lite version is $3 cheaper than the pro version but is missing some features which you receive in the pro version. The difficulty level is stuck at medium, while the pro version has easy, medium and hard. The lite version is designed for beginners to chess so I would like to see an option to have easy or medium. In the lite version you can still play one and two player but there are no variants, just regular chess. The pro version...

Three variants of the game, Regular, Suicide and Losers. One and two player mode as well as three different boards available to play on. I am very pleased with the graphics of the two 3D boards. The smallest detail in the game are picked up and is visually impressive to play....

With only one option to start with, Evolution, the first few of the 30 levels explain how to play and what you must do to advance to the next level. The controls are very simple to understand, tilt the device in the desired way to make your Spore move around. This can take a few levels to master but ends up being very easy. In the practice level it starts with bubble bars on the horizontal and vertical axis to help you, I would like to...

Texas Hold'em

iTunes LinkTexas Hold'em is a poker game by Apple Inc. $4.99Texas Hold'em is Apple's only game on the App Store to this date and is the premier poker game available on the App Store. It is essentially the upgraded version of the click wheel game of the same name. The game is easy to pick-up and play for people who have previously played the game but may be difficult for first timers. The instructions are somewhat helpful to the people who are new to poker, showing the hand rankings and how to fold, bet etc. but it doesn't explain about what the Flop, Turn and River are so they may not know what its all for. There are ten different venues to play...
