Train Conductor Preview!

Have you ever wanted to conduct trains? Well... Now you can! With the upcoming app titled Train Conductor, you tell trains which track to go to.

To move the trains, you must touch it and then drag to the train's specific track. You can tell what track it belongs to by the numbers on the side of the train.

There are two modes, one mode is the day shift, you must keep trains from crashing and get them on the correct train track. The next mode is the graveyard shift, you guide ghosts to the correct path.

The graveyard shift is my favorite shift. The ghosts move very fast and there are multiple on screen at once. The ghosts can go through each other to get to their track.

There are four different enviroments in total; Alice Springs, Cairns, Sydney, and Melbourne. The different places increase the difficulty of the game.

In Alice Springs you have the easiest of three tracks, Cairns you have four tracks, In Sydney you have five tracks and long Gold Rush trains, and in Melbourne, you have five tracks with one broken section appearing in a different location with each play.

In the graveyard shift, the new levels bring on more tracks and a skull train. You must make sure the skull trains arrive at their destinations. If they crash, Game Over.

This game is Plus+ enabled and come packed with plenty of acheivements.

Overall, Train Conductor is one of those apps you must get. It will keep you intrested for hours and hours. If you don't get Train
Conductor, you are missing out on a great game.

Finger Sling Review

If you love using your touch screen for games, this is thee game for you! Finger Sling is an intense battle ball game where you use your finger to drag a ball to kick other balls out of the arena. The red balls are trying to knock the big blue ball out of it boundaries. You must protect that blue ball! There are levels in which get harder each level. After each level you have a chance to upgrade your weapon. Make the ball bigger, faster, or make the blue ball's boundaries bigger. You earn money by hitting other balls out of the ring. This game is Open Feint enabled. There are achievements based on score, bosses and levels. This game has very high re playability and I come back every time! I give this a 5/5!

Asphalt 5 review

Asphalt 5 Review!

{ Posted on Nov 20 2009 by Bronson }
CATEGORIES : REVIEW

All the intense racing you always have at home, is now on your iPhone! Asphalt 5! Developed by Gameloft, is a action packed arcade racing game. It has steady accelerometer controls and good graphics! The game has a small lag on an iPod Touch 1G.

Gameloft has tried to make this game as detailed as possible from the mud on the road to the damage on the cars. The music is great, but if you want to rock out to your own tunes, they have the in game music feature.

What to do in Asphalt 5? Win races and earn money to make your ride more suitable. You will have obstacles including, oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and the occasional police all followed by the weather conditions. All of the gameplay has three different camera angels: close, far and driver seat.

There are 12 different locations within the game including: Aspen, Athens, and Las Vegas. The tracks have snow, ice, and rain on them, and the easiest way to win the races are by taking the shortcuts. You can find these shortcuts on you mini-map.

Asphalt 5 offers: Career, Single Race, and Local/Online Multiplayer. Most people will play Single Race for the pick up and play genre.

The following are the types of games you race:

Normal—Finish in the top 3

Cash Attack—Get all the cash you can

Cop Chase—Eliminate all of the other racers

Escape—Run from the cops

Drift—Drift on turns

Time Trial—cross the finish line before time runs out

Duel—one-on-one racing

Last Man Standing—Don’t finish in last.

There are 33 bikes and cars you can race by unlocking.

Overall, Asphalt 5 is more of a fun arcade racer. If you are looking for more of a Forza real life racing game, check out Real Racing.

For $6.99 Asphalt 5 is easily the best arcade racer on the app store. I rate 5/5

Brain Challenge2

BRAIN CHELLENGE 2by Gameloft
Price: $4.99
Played on: iTouch 1g
Rating: 4/5
REVIEW!
Brain Challenge 2 has been on the App Store for awhile now. It is a very fun challenge game to train your brain!
It includes:
  • 38 minigames in total
  • 30 Mini games for math, logic, memory and focus skills
  • 5 minigames to reduce stress
  • 3 bonus minigames!
  • Never before seen eye training game
The graphics aren't the best and could be be better, but it is still worth playing. In my opinion, this is one of the worst iPhone apps Gameloft has. It has 4 different trainers and plenty more. I rate this a 3/5

New EarthWormJim review!

One of the things that the iTunes store has made me happy about is the successful ports of my old favorite games. Like EarthWorm Jim!


In this game you play as a worm named Jim that with the power of a space suit that fell down to earth he changed to a super hero. Then Jim hears about a plan to take over the galaxy.There are 4 different difficulties of gameplay: easy, normal, hard, and original. There are 16 different levels to play:



New Junk City

Andy Asteroids (mini game levels)

What the Heck?

Down the Tubes

Tube Race

Snot a Problem!

Level 5 (additional level in Level 5)

Who Turned Out the Lights?

For Pete's Sake

Intestinal Distress

ButtVille


In line with the storyline are the cool charecters with names like Bob the Killer Goldfish, Evil the Cat, Major Mucus, Chuck and Fifi, Psy-Crow, and Queen Slug-for-a-Butt. The graphics are amazing, just like a platformer you want to see now a days! The animation could not be better. The game has the occasional lag on my iPod Touch 1G, just like all ports.


The controls are a d-pad or a virtual joystick. There are 3 action buttons that include: jump, whip, and attack. I have found the d-pad much easier to use. There are many power ups including fuel pods and ammo.There are 10 different environments which change the action buttons in each one. Then on the minogame after each level you use tilt controls to dodge objects and pick up objects.


The game has 10 different environments which I think all are awesome! The gameplay is what brought me to wanting the game! One of my favorite levels is New Junk City where it literally is a city made out of old appliances and tires!


Earthworm Jim is like no other worm or human. He can pull his head off for a whip and to attack enemies. If he were human he would be “SUPER HUMAN!”


The only problem is that there is a lack of save points. The only way to save is to beat a level.Overall, Earthworm Jim is one the best platformers out there and I come back and want more every time I exit the game! I give this a 4/5 *****

Bailout Wars Review

Bailout wars is a very addicting defense syle game made by Gameloft.
In it you must protect the WhiteHouse which has the bailout money in it from vicious bankers who want all the money for themselves. In order to protect the bailout you must use your finger to flick the bankers up in the sky, and they will fall back down and splat to a painful death. There are four different types of bankers, the CEO(boss), the tellers(normal), the breif case holders(after you throw them they use there breif case as a parachute), and the helicopter units(medium). There are many games on the app store like this and this is the most fun. This will keep you playing for hours and you will still want to come back for more. I have thought over this for awhile now and have rated this app a 5/5 *****

9,000bc Review

9,000bc is a interesting intense fighting game. In it you must fight of enemies until the rounds are over. Wen you beat a round, you can upgrade and earn achievements through OpenFeint. Me and all of my colleagues could not put this game down! We have played for hours and hours. There are multiple apps like this and none can compare. I had a vote between my workers and they all decided the rank I should give 9,000bc. They decided 4/5, but I had second thoughts. I rate this a................ amazing 5/5 *****!
The only thing that I can think of for an update is, more achievements and better graphics.

TOURNAMENT!!!

Hey all. I can't be in the tourney so spidey will lead you guys!

We are making some changes here.

Hi guys, once again I have been sick so I haven't posted in a little bit but here I am, so up to the point: we are making some changes to the tourney. In the past couple of days we have had at leats 30 or more e-mails a day from new contestants, so we are changing things around. The password will be changed once again and may I please ask everyone who would like to enter e-mail me at adam3_baseball@hotmail.com, this is only for this tourney because it has gotten quite confusing and there are e-mails popping up on the other account every 2 minutes so what I want you to do is e-mail me at that address with your Dinosmsh name and once we have everyone, I will post the names on here and e-mail everyone the password, so please stop asking. One more thing is if you have a name for example "TiC~TaC~lToxicl" (I saw you changed it, don't worry you're just an example) would you mind changing it, just for this tourney, to something like Tic Tac Toxic, its just too confusing.


Thjank you for your patience

Interview with Developer of NanoMechs

Interview with Arin Cranley NanoMechs' Software Developer and President


Arin, What is the behind the scenes view of Theorian?


Theorian, is more of service company than anything, we're in the technology business to be innovative for our customers. We want to bring something new, fresh, and fun, whether it is a productivity app, a game, a website, or a simple support call. Theorian is also a software development company not just an iPhone app development company.


How did Theorian start?


Government contracts, believe it or not. We were working on building "e-learning labs" for the United States Marine Core. Amongst a few other types of contracts, Cool huh?

Very cool.

Yes, but not as cool as building iPhone apps.


When was NanoMechs thought up?


We love first person shooters, we originally thought that the iPhone needed a MMORPG though. At least some better "real time" multiplayer games. After further research we concluded that not many people would be spend hours upon hours playing an MMORPG on their device given a number of factors. Despite that, a MMORPG would still be awesome on the iPhone no matter which way you cut it. We also figured that a 3D FPS could be graphically bland and the user interface much too strange without tactile feedback. So we opted for NanoMechs a 2D Multiplayer Online Shooter. The story line came from a few OMG moments and, almost instantly, we had an astounding background plot, which we plan to expand in the future.


When did you guys start the developing process of NanoMechs?


October 2008

It seems like it took forever, we worked sooo hard.


How long did it take you to realize the app is done and playable?


We all honestly think that NanoMechs is not done. However we decided that cutting some features for the sake of getting the game into peoples hands early, at a low price, was more important than waiting any longer to release. That may have hurt our initial image though. Looking back on this decision, we probably won't do that again. This is a new business for us and we've learned so much with this initial release. We are going to have multiplayer online soon, and we want to make sure it is going to be GREAT before we put it into anyones hands.


Was this the first iPhone app you guys have created?


Yes, NanoMechs is the first iPhone app we've done.


Do you guys have any new apps coming? If so what can we expect?


We're still in R&D but we are considering a "very different" puzzle game, maybe an RPG. But more than anything we want to do a MMORPG. But many people don't realize the depth of development a MMORPG takes let alone a simple RPG.


Do you have a way of spreading the word about NanoMechs?


We do... you! :) thanks Bronson! So far word of mouth and some plugs on gaming forums, etc. But we plan to release a free version of NanoMechs. Also we'll be doing a sweepstakes on twitter, and eventually cross-promotion on future apps. So far we're steering away from purchasing ad space and using services such as ad-mob.


Earlier you mentioned multiplayer, what other kind of updates in the future can we expect for NanoMechs?


More levels and game modes, like Capture the Flag, and Squad Battles are coming. So NanoMechs still has much more coming. Even further driving home that NanoMechs is not done, and will continue to receive updates.


What is your favorite iPhone app besides NanoMechs?


Seriously? Wow, that's a hard one. I like physics puzzles, I haven't had the luxury of playing Zenonia or any RPGs on the iPhone. I like "I'm Destroyer", oh God that is bad! I didn't want to say it. Because there are so many things about that game that could have been better and I want to make it better when I play it. "Pocket God" is cool too.


Last question. What would you recommend young developers to do?


I am completely serious when I say: do what you love doing. If you are finding "no joy" in what you are doing then what you produce is going to be less than it could have been. Be inspired by something or someone, if you lose that inspiration, know how to find it again. Be inspired by God, the first developer and creator! Young developers have got to learn and be sponges, and cannot act like they know it all. People are willing to teach, and if you say, "I know how to do that!" then they won't to teach you that. Ultimately, nothing beats hands-on training, just go for it, start learning. Find people who can answer the questions that start taking you hours to answer on your own. Those people could be friends or colleagues; who ever they are, treat them well and they'll make time for you. They'll be great mentors.


Thank you for taking your time away from your day.


Thank you! It's been a pleasure!

PocketGod Tournament FULL!

Hey everyone, we are now officially full!
