Exciting times dinosaur fans! Jurassic Park has hit iPad 2s! Not literally obviously as no one would like a T-Rex to crush their beloved gadget. No, I’m talking about Jurassic Park: The Game, hotly anticipated since Telltale Games announced it earlier in the year.
Maximizing the processing power of the iPad 2, Jurassic Park: The Game promises breath-taking cinematic scenes and some darn impressive graphics. Players will be taken back to Isla Nublar during the events of the first Jurassic Park film and be able to interact with the storyline in a brand new way. While many locations will be familiar to fans, there will also be plenty of new areas to explore as we discussed earlier this week.
Jurassic Park: The Game also comes with AirPlay functionality so that players can see the action on their Apple TVs for even more impressive visuals.
Jurassic Park: The Game is out now for the iPad 2 priced at $6.99.

Despite all the grandeur of increasingly impressive graphics and in-depth storylines, sometimes all anyone wants is an addictive and testing logic game. That game could well be LinkDots.
Everyone loves a good iOS port, right? It seems like App Store shoppers are always clamoring to have versions of their favorite PC and console games on their phones, pads and pods. I know I’m certainly no exception. Enter the original

This little game with an interesting name, jAggy Race, is a racing game in little more than theme. This “racing” game actually has much more in common with physics games than it does with racing games. That said, speed is an important component of the jAggy Race experience. Players must navigate their way through a world of nausea inducing physics from race track to race track in a battle against a persistent count down.
The challenge in this game is not to stay on the narrow track (the car automatically stays lined up on the track), it is to battle the physics pulling at the car and to guide safely around treacherous drops and jumps while avoiding things like giant saws and brick walls. The player controls the direction the car travels in, and at what speed it does so. They can also make the car jump with the tap of a finger. With some finesse, the player can use the cars speed and inertia along with some well timed jumps to keep it moving forward and avoid obstacles. This is no easy task when the track’s directions and even its gravity change in seemingly nonsensical ways. Lots of trial and error are necessary to learn the ins and outs of every track. In this way, jAggy Race becomes more about defeating the physics than beating the clock.
For those living underneath a rock the past year or two, Minecraft is the uber popular indie-made computer game, for Mac and PC, that has set the gaming world on its ear while making a kajillion dollars – all while still in beta. The official non-beta version will most likely be announced this weekend at MineCon, but the big news for us here at 148Apps is the arrival tomorrow of Minecraft: Pocket Edition, also known as the end of productivity as we know it. 
Outdoor retailer, REI, already offers a great app in the form of 
Corpse Granny is no corpse at all. In fact, I’d say she’s more alive than most grannies – one that nobody wants to mess with. She may be old, but she is highly aggressive and comes packed with attitude (and a horde of minions). Think of those cranky grannies in the grocery store zooming around on the cart with their foot on the gas and hankering for some Metamucil. Just plain scary.
