Fragger, Gravity Guy, and SushiGoRound

I would really like to thank Miniclip for sending me 3 promo codes for these games. Thank you so much guys!

Fragger $.99


Fragger is a very fun game and it also gets very challenging as well. You are a soldier in the war! You must throw your grenades at the enemy! You do this by holding your finger down and positioning your throw. Then you lift up to let go. Like most games, it sounds easy in writing, but it gets pretty tough. There are many obstacles in your way to the enemy. Walls, wood, dynamite.. Once you surpass those, you are good to go.
As I stated earlier, you have to hold your finger down and let it go to release. I would really like to see an update that you can hold down to get set, but then press a button to release. It gets a bit annoying sometimes when you have to get a little higher but your finger gets in the way.
Overall this is an amazing app though. Very fun to play, a lot of levels.. What more could you ask for?

Gravity Guy $.99


Gravity Guy is another amazing game! This game is basically what the name says. You are a man that is trying to escape from a futuristic prison. The robot men are trying to catch you, so you have to... RUN! But the twist is, you have to avoid obstacles by switching the gravity. You go through checkpoints to ensure you keep going forward but it gets faster and faster as you go along. You cannot switch the gravity while in the air. You must be on the ground. (Or ceiling) Sometimes you might float into space!
This a great game to kill time (or not) and is another challenging one from Miniclip.

SushiGoRound $.99


Has anyone ever played that game Lemonade Stand? SushiGoRound is a bit like that, but with more recipes and better graphics. You..are a chef in a sushi restaurant. Can you handle seating, feeding and keeping nonstop customers happy?
There is a recipe book full of the foods your customers want. Make the right combination of ingredients, and match the food to the person. Sound easy? WRONG! Customers start to poor into the restaurant and and if you don't serve them fast enough, they will get angry and leave.
Like a real kitchen, you will run out of ingredients. You will have to order the food which could be quick or a long process depending on how much you pay.

Geared (Free)


This is a real brain-buster game. The object is to make the already spinning gear connect to the non-spinning one by adding more gears. Not nearly as simple as it sounds. The puzzle gets more challenging by only giving you a certain amount of gears or different sized ones. Then the puzzles start to have areas where you can't place a gear. (Hint hint: sometimes you have to drop them!) there are tons of fascinating levels that will keep you entertained for hours.

This... Was a short review.. I don't know what else to say, really. THIS WAS AN AWESOME GAME! Ummmm.... GO GET IT NOW! :D

AAA Pokedex ($.99)


This is pretty nifty app for anyone who likes Pokemon. What are there now? 493?? Wow... Anyway, this app will take you through ALL of the things you need to be a Pokemon Master! Let me get you a list of all the stuff it does:

Getting the info on the Pokemon

Marblenauts ($1.99)


I really want to thank Johan Bros for sending me out a promo code for this app. Thanks again!

If you like challenging puzzlers, this is one you should check out. In the beginning the marble...people give you a pretty good tutorial of how to actually play the game and then you do it yourself. The object of the game is to get the right colored marblenaut into the correct color transporter. To do this, you must destroy a rock to either the left or right of the little guy. Sounds simple right? WRONG! For you to blow up certain rocks you must get one marblenaut to a specific place. A bunch of the puzzles include teamwork between however many nauts there are in the place.
While the first couple are easy, it DOES get harder due to the addition of obstacles that get in the way. Really, there isn't much I can say bad about this game. It is a fun one to play when you want something to do that will make you think or just want to play something fun. Great game that I highly recommend to any puzzle fan!

Angry Birds ($.99)


Angry Birds

I just downloaded this awesome game and I cannot put it down! It is a very addicting game, but it isn't a mindless one. It really does make you think about the angles and trajectories that you are flinging these birds. There is also a bit of a storyline involved and TONS of levels! TONS!! It will have you coming back for more. My battery died twice already! :D
If anyone reading this doesn't already know what this game is:
It's about birds who have had their eggs stolen by the pigs. Now, of course, the birds want them back. So it is your job to try to kill (not really violently) all of the pigs in each level by shooting birds at them. Of course...that IS easier said than done! There are a variety of obstacles in the way trying to prevent you from doing your mission.
To aide your quest, different birds have different abilities. This will help greatly while trying to avenge your unborn babies kidnapping. As said in the description:
"Lemme tell ya, these ain't no ordinary finches we're talkin' about. These here are the Angry Birds, the ones that's gonna kick you in the nads."
MOST DEFINITELY a five star app. HANDS DOWN

Canabalt and Gravity Hook HD (Both $2.99)



I would love to thank Semi Secret Software for sending me not just one, but two promo codes so I can review these apps in one bulk post! Thanks again guys.

I always say, "Always trust a game with a good soundtrack." Does that mean that I don't "trust" Pocket God and Doodle Jump? In a way, YES! Danny Baranowsky (the composer of the soundtracks on both games) did an excellent job on the music which gave them both a moody/action feel. Just the music makes me sit on edge!
Canabalt is an action game where you jump to avoid falling off buildings and different obstacles to stay alive. Very easy navigation: just TAP to jump and the man will automatically keep running. It appears he in a city like New York and is in a "Doomsday-Like" atmosphere, but I am not 100% sure. You can also change which music you want to play in the background while you make your "Daring Escape." (Click the top right corner.) with the game's atmosphere and the great music this game, somehow gives me the feel of Batman The Dark Knight. Haha.
The second game that I have reviewed is Gravity Hook HD. This is like, a beefed up version of Doodle Jump. I don't understand HOW games like doodle jump and Pocket God are on the top games list when there are games like this out. Gravity hook is where you control a small robot with a grappling hook and connect to different colored mines to get higher. Be careful though. The mines move when you are connected to them! Not at the speed you do, but they do move. Green mines are safe and do not explode, blue mines arm themselves while connected, and red mines you can connect to but NOT TOUCH. if you miss a mine, like in Doodle jump, (missing a platform) you will die. Once you get to a certain level you can unlock the "classic" mode. It is more of the arcade style of the game.
These games really do replace Doodle Jump and Pocket God for me. More action, suspense and Great music. I would give both these games a 5 for originality, creativity, and awesomeness.

HumanCalc (Free)


This is a pretty cool app. First you plug in your date of birth then your time of birth and click calculate. It will then "do it's thing." All of those great bodily functions that you do everyday...Did you ever wonder how many you did in your whole life? I do! This is a fun app for yourself and friends. Also great for parties!

*No bodily functions were performed during the making of this review. :D*

Do Not Press The Red Button (Free)


Indeed it is... I bet there are a lot of people that do not know about this app. Whoever doesn't...well... check it out, and if you have no clue what the "Do not Press the Red Button" game is, well then...GOOGLE IT!!!

"DO NOT PRESS
*Ahem* 'DO NOT PRESS'"

This app has all the features of the game on the computer with some added bonus features. Anyone who is a new fan of this game or an old fan you will get a pretty good kick out of this app.

Pocket God and Doodle Jump (Both $.99)



The first thing I did when I got my first iTunes card was to check out games that everyone has been talking about: Pocket God and Doodle Jump. Many people already know about these games and they have been around for a while but as my grandpa says; they're oldies but goodies. Of course Pocket God is a game that you are in control of the Pigmies and you can do with them of what you wish. Create storms, earthquakes, and other natural disasters and also bring other things in like dinosaurs and ghosts. It has really no storyline so you can come and go as you please. There are, however, mini games in which you can post your high score. You can play three mini games in all: one that worked together with DoodleJump, a "jump" game where it appears that you are running from lava in a "hell" scene, and the last game is one where you are tilting your device to navigate the pigmy through a sewer scene. There are many different things to do to torture this little guys and it is a very good game.
Now to Doodle Jump. This is a VERY addicting game that I would also highly recommend. You are doodle... And you... JUMP! It's easier said than done though. Once you get higher and higher up there become fewer platforms to jump on and monsters start to come into play. There are of course things to help you like springs, trampolines, and jet packs, but while making sure you don't fall from the platforms that are under you, you must dodge the monsters, holes, UFOs and the different types of platforms. (Broken, exploding, or the ones that disappear. There are no real "levels" that you go to but rather, different modes. There is normal, space, halloween and a few more. Each mode has different themes for the backgrounds, how Doodle looks, the monsters and the objects.
Both of these games I would give a 5 out of 5 because of the graphics, the entertainment, and the gameplay. (By the way, if you type your name as Ooga in DoodleJump, you can play as one of the pigmies from Pocket God and you can play a game of DoodleJump in Pocket God by dragging a pigmy up to the clouds and tilting the device to control the direction the little guy jumps!)

LightBike Free


Once again, it was me, my iPod, the app store, and a longing to play a fun game. I looked around and I found it... A game called "LightBike." it is a free game that strongly resembles the 1980's game: Tron. You can pick which car color you want to play as and you are always playing against three other players, or CPU's. The controls are very simple to handle and it is a very fun game to play. It honestly does make a great game to play when bored or not and the graphics and gameplay are pretty cool. I would highly recommend this game and give it 4.5 stars.

Mr. Space!! (Free)


I was browsing around for new apps and different types of games for the iPod and the iPhone, and I came across one that is called Mr. Space. It is a pretty addicting game that -like most games- gets faster and and harder as you get higher up in the levels. You control the stickman (Mr. Space) by tapping the left and right arrows at the bottom of the screen. The object of the game is to get Mr. Space into the "space" between the floor and the ceiling. If you don't...well...he gets...squashed! Good thing you have three lives! :D
I would recommend this game for anyone but it does get a tad bit boring after a bit. It can be addicting but it really is a good game, and...its FREE! Another tiny thing I didn't like about it was, even though it is a very, VERY easy game to play, there were no instructions and once you press play, you're likely to get squashed because you aren't sure what to do. It s a very small problem and I think this game deserves a 4 out of 5.
