That, or they can click those links to see what I’m talking about because they also might be totally lost at this point. Regardless, there’s going to be a new iPhone/iPad game for folks to think about when their name comes up: <em><a href="http://www.facebook.com/BattlelootAdventure" target="_blank">Battleloot Adventure</a></em>.</p> <p>Aside from just being an awesome name to begin with, it’s looking like a pretty awesome game to boot. Players get to build and manage their own band of fantasy archetypes as they wander throughout “Kameloot” (ha!) and the surrounding countryside. Each adventurer has their own abilities and gain experience individually. Similarly, lots of gear can be found/earned and thrown on them for various bonuses. But while I’m admittedly a sucker for customization options (party, character, skill or otherwise) and I’m really digging the stylish cartoon visuals, I’m really intrigued by the combat system which looks like a hybrid of traditional turn-based RPG trappings and reflex-based arcade action. Tapping characters and enemies to select and attack respectively is relatively standard, but I’m curious to see how the more “twitchy” actions like assists (tap a second character while attacking) and blocking (tap the targeted character during an enemy’s attack) pan out.</p> <p>There don’t seem to be any specifics regarding price just yet, but <em>Battleloot Adventure</em> is set to release on the App Store in February. It’s a few months off, but I’m certainly looking forward to it.</p> <b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/431566331" target="_blank">Ducati Challenge</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/battleloot-adventure-kinds-neat/">Battleloot Adventure Looks All Kinds of Neat</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/BL5HYp5ERQM" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Rob Rich <span title='Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:30:51 +0000'>24 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/battleloot-adventure-kinds-neat/">http://www.148apps.com/news/battleloot-adventure-kinds-neat/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-4206771406759970912011-11-23T12:32:00.001-08:002011-11-23T12:32:12.650-08:00Get into the Spirit Hands (and Eyes) Free with Tales2Go – Happy Holidays<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

The time of year when everyone starts buzzing about gift exchanges, menorahs, fat guys in red suits and all manner of “tidings.” Yessir, nothing like getting the holiday into full-swing <strong>before</strong> December. Suffice it to say, I’m personally not very thrilled with the practice of jumping the gun. But just because I’m morally opposed to shoving holiday cheer down the throats of the masses well over five weeks too early doesn’t mean I’m against general preparations. And what better way to prepare for the inevitable and lengthy trip to a distant relative’s house for a seasonal meal then to have an assortment of topical audiobooks on-hand?</p> <p><em><a href="http://www.tales2go.com/" target="_blank">Tales2Go</a></em> is a fairly popular subscription-based (1,600+ books and counting) kids audiobook app in its own right, but <em>Tales2Go – Happy Holidays</em> is something a little different. This is a stand-alone app, with no subscription fee needed to access the 20 different stories contained within. These include <em>The Night Before Christmas</em>, <em>A Christmas Carol</em>, <em>The Gift of the Magi</em> (read by Jim Weiss), <em>The Story of Hanukkah</em> (read by Joel Ben Izzy) and many, many more.</p> <p><em>Tales2Go – Happy Hoidays</em> is already available, and all of these audiobooks can be had for a total of $0.99. That’s one dollar for 20 audiobooks. It might seem a tad too soon for this kind of stuff, but it couldn’t hurt to be ready once it’s time to jump in the car and drive 14 hours to grandma’s house.</p> <br /> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/480017640" title="Tales2Go - Happy Holidays"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/480/480017640/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/480017640" title="Tales2Go - Happy Holidays" /><h2>Tales2Go - Happy Holidays</h2><br /><b>iPhone App</b> - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/480017640/go" title="Tales2Go - Happy Holidays" target="_blank">$0.99</a><br />Released: 2011-11-17 :: Category: Education</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /> <b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/480017640" target="_blank">Tales2Go - Happy Holidays</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/spirit-hands-eyes-free-tales2go-happy-holidays/">Get into the Spirit Hands (and Eyes) Free with Tales2Go – Happy Holidays</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/L_R2szVWbGc" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Rob Rich <span title='Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:30:50 +0000'>24 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/spirit-hands-eyes-free-tales2go-happy-holidays/">http://www.148apps.com/news/spirit-hands-eyes-free-tales2go-happy-holidays/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-72455737671301995232011-11-23T12:10:00.001-08:002011-11-23T12:11:02.846-08:00Your Ultimate Black Friday App Sale List is Here!<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

It even automatically finds phone contacts already in the network, making it all the easier to send free messages. </p> <p>Threaded messaging and history support has been added meaning it’s as easy to consult what’s just been said as it is with any conventional SMS message. A new and easy to view contact list also ensures that <i>ICQ</i> feels integrated into the rest of the iOS experience making it an ideal way to chat with friends for free. </p> <p>Easy to use, <i>ICQ</i> can be accessed simultaneously from any platform such as online, via PC or phone. Push notifications mean that the user is always available for chat if they so wish, plus there’s social feed updates available from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr. </p> <p>For the <i>ICQ</i> user of old, this may well be an ideal entry point to the already busy world of messaging clients.</p> <p>It’s out now and it’s a free app.</p> <p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/p9o2B_0cE2I" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe></center></p> <p><br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/302707408" title="ICQ messenger – free chat with address book, ICQ, Facebook and GoogleTalk contacts"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/302/302707408/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/302707408" title="ICQ messenger – free chat with address book, ICQ, Facebook and GoogleTalk contacts" /><h2>ICQ messenger – free chat with address book, ICQ, Facebook and GoogleTalk contacts</h2><br /><b>iPhone App</b> - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/302707408/go" title="ICQ messenger – free chat with address book, ICQ, Facebook and GoogleTalk contacts" target="_blank">FREE</a><br />Released: 2009-01-19 :: Category: Social Networking</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /></p> <b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/302707408" target="_blank">ICQ messenger – free chat with address book, ICQ, Facebook and GoogleTalk contacts</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/messaging-client-icq-iphone/">Messaging Client ICQ Comes To iPhone</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/cnNR3svmp0c" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Jennifer Allen <span title='Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:30:48 +0000'>24 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/messaging-client-icq-iphone/">http://www.148apps.com/news/messaging-client-icq-iphone/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-12070969449283089172011-11-23T10:34:00.000-08:002011-11-23T10:35:07.765-08:00Favorite Four Apps for Black Friday<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

Thank you! </div> <p>It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Families gather, feast, celebrate and then get ready for a Black Friday shopping bonanza. The hottest deals mean the biggest crowds will be mobbing stores. With this celebration of conspicuous consumption putting huge pressure on holiday shoppers in a tough economy, how does one find the very best deals? Well, an iPhone loaded with the right apps can make things a lot easier. This week we look at our four favorites for saving time and money.</p> <p><strong>TGI Black Friday</strong></p> <p>Powered by two major shopping resources, <a href="http://TGIblackfriday.com">TGIblackfriday.com</a> and <a href="http://DealCatcher.com">DealCatcher.com</a>, <em>TGI Black Friday</em> is the go-to app for finding the best bargains from the biggest chains like Walmart, Kohls, Best Buy, Target, Old Navy and far too many more to list. The updates come fast and furious and users can see all the Black Friday deals well before they bulk up the morning paper. Push notifications alert shoppers to new deals, users can compare prices and share finds on Facebook and Twitter.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/335329737" title="TGI Black Friday"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/335/335329737/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/335329737" title="TGI Black Friday" /><h2>TGI Black Friday</h2><br /><b>iPhone App</b> - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/335329737/go" title="TGI Black Friday" target="_blank">FREE</a><br />Released: 2009-11-19 :: Category: News</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /></p> <p><strong>Red Laser</strong></p> <p>Finding good deals is awesome. Finding great ones is even better. One thing brick and mortar retailers are worried most about this year is what impact mobile devices will have, even in the check out line. Price-matching offers used to be taken up by only a few, but now with bar code scanners, shoppers can quickly scan the items unique product number and <em>Red Laser</em> will find them all the competing offers, many of which are online. That means while standing in a three-hour check-out queue one can just pop out an iPhone, find a better deal online and have it paid for and on its way before they move forward a single inch.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/474902001" title="RedLaser — Barcode and QR Code Scan"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/474/474902001/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/474902001" title="RedLaser — Barcode and QR Code Scan" /><h2>RedLaser — Barcode and QR Code Scan</h2><br /><b>iPhone App</b> - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/474902001/go" title="RedLaser — Barcode and QR Code Scan" target="_blank">FREE</a><br />Released: 2011-11-02 :: Category: Utilities</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /></p> <p><strong>Black Friday App</strong></p> <p><em>Black Friday App</em> provides the same basic features as <em>TGI Black Friday</em>, and many of the stores and deals are the same, but there are retailers one app carries that the other doesn’t.

It’s apps like <i>Cupple</i> that could go some way to ensuring that couples always feel close to each other.</p> <p><i>Cupple</i> is a private social networking app aimed specifically at two people in a relationship. It allows users to share various details just between the two of them such as galleries of photos, private messages and even locations so that each person knows where the other person is. In each case, images or notes can be added for the personal touch. </p> <p>The key thing is that it encourages intimacy. It’s the kind of app that’s particularly ideal for the couple who have to frequently travel for work but still want to keep in regular contact, even if it’s simply to say they saw something and thought of the other person.</p> <p><i>Cupple</i> is a free to download app and is available now.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/468123960" title="Cupple"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/468/468123960/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/468123960" title="Cupple" /><h2>Cupple</h2><br /><b>iPhone App</b> - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/468123960/go" title="Cupple" target="_blank">FREE</a><br />Released: 2011-11-08 :: Category: Social Networking</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /></p> <b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/468123960" target="_blank">Cupple</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/social-networking-couples-cupple/">Social Networking For Couples From Cupple</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/yG4UGNQxEUo" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Jennifer Allen <span title='Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:30:46 +0000'>24 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/social-networking-couples-cupple/">http://www.148apps.com/news/social-networking-couples-cupple/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-49332520845350618502011-11-23T09:17:00.001-08:002011-11-23T09:17:24.415-08:00Bag It!

Getting tons of groceries into a tiny paper bag may not seem like the best way to spend some free time, but <em>Bag It! HD</em> makes bagging food more fun than it has any right to be.</p> <p><em>Bag It! HD</em> takes the menial task of bagging groceries and turns it into an entertaining puzzle game where players must figure out how to fit different grocery items into a paper sack while limiting the amount of items that get crushed or broken. In each of the game’s levels, a different assortment of grocery items are brought to the player via a conveyer belt (much like in a real grocery store) and the player must fit these items into the bag in the same general order in which they appear. Sometimes the challenge comes from stacking the items so that they won’t break, other times the challenge is just to find a way to fit all of the items in the bag at all.</p> <p>Each item in the game has its own weight and stacking them accordingly will save players from needlessly crushing other items. Items can also be dropped from varying heights, so players must be conscious of dropping items from too high and having them break from the fall. Items can also be rotated and bagged in any orientation. Once the bag is packed the items needs to survive and few moments as they shift in the bad while the player tilts the device to help them all settle in. Add to all these options the crazy and unique combos that come from placing items close to one another and players will need to take a much more strategic approach to bagging groceries here than they might on a normal Saturday afternoon trip to the store.</p> <p>The animated grocery items are cute and the faces they make when they are happy, falling, or scared of getting crushed are great. The gameplay is varied, thanks to the many different types of items to bag and players will have a challenging time completing all the game’s levels. <em>Bag It! HD </em>is a nice, quirky little departure form the stacking puzzle norm.</p> <p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JA7ueowxmt8" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe></center></p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/470669340" title="Bag It!

The first video covers the game’s visuals with commentary from ChAIR staff on how the game’s visuals aren’t just designed to look stunning, but also to help create the atmosphere of the world. The second video covers the story elements of <em>Infinity Blade 2</em>, and what the developers, along with the author of the interquel novella <em>Infinity Blade: Awakening</em>, Brandon Sanderson, wanted to do to help expand the universe with this game.

Four Wizards, each with the power to control an element of nature, protect a vast kingdom ruled by a King and Queen, bringing about peace and prosperity. As well as protectors to the kingdom, they also watch over the Princess, keeping her out of harm's way. </p> <p>Alas, tragedy strikes and the Queen is killed while dabbling in magic. Distraught, the King forbids any further use of magic, and locks the Wizards away. However, as time passes the situation in the kingdom worsens, and the Wizards are now needed once again to battle the Mad Maker and stop him from kidnapping the princess.</p> <p><em>Wizard Ops</em> sees the player control the Fire Wizard throughout the duration of the game. Rather than follow the 'left to right' shoot'em up level template used in games such as Metal Slug, <em>Wizard Ops</em> uses a system similar to <em>Space Harrier</em>, which sees the Wizard shoot into the screen.</p> <p>The controls couldn't be simpler. The screen has a designated area at the bottom, and to move the Wizard left and right all the player has to do is swipe their finger in the corresponding direction. Doing this also triggers off weapons, which auto-fire, and to control the targeting reticule all the player has to do is swipe up or down. It's very responsive.</p> <p>The Wizard can equip two weapons at a time from a choice of 18. These can be purchased from the shop using coins dropped by enemies, although with some the player first needs to find their plans scattered about levels. There's some good variety on offer, bearing in mind the fire nature of the character, allowing for some short range/long range strategies.</p> <p><a href="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WizardOps_01.jpg" rel="lightbox[100496]"><img title="" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-100511" src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/WizardOps_01-223x300.jpg" height="300" alt="" width="223" style="float: right; display: block; padding-left: 10px;" /></a>Graphically <em>Wizard Ops</em> looks great, chucking about a lot of characters on-screen at any one time. The downside is that occasionally the frame-rate dips and stutters, although not to the point where it ruins the game. Michael Winslow (of Police Academy fame) was also brought on board to do the sound effects. </p> <p>The main downside of <em>Wizard Ops</em> is just how easy it is. I blasted through the six levels in not much over half an hour, and there wasn't much incentive to return as the game is very generous with coins, therefore I could afford all the weapons I wanted to purchase. It's been made very clear this is just the first episode, but a bit more challenge would have been good.</p> <p>Overall <em>Wizard Ops</em> is an enjoyable experience, with a solid control scheme. Here's hoping the next installment offers a bit more of a challenge.</p> <p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Egw-k_orQlE" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe></center></p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/479706646" title="Wizard Ops"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/479/479706646/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/479706646" title="Wizard Ops" /><h2>Wizard Ops</h2><br /><b>Universal App</b> - Designed for iPhone and iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/479706646/go" title="Wizard Ops" target="_blank">$0.99</a><br /><div style="text-decoration: none;"><span><b>Our Rating:</b> <img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/blankstar.png" border="0" alt="☆" /> :: HE'S ON FIRE<br /><a href="http://148apps.com/?p=100496" target="_blank">Read Our Full Review >></a></span></div>Released: 2011-11-21 :: Category: Games</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/479706646" target="_blank">Wizard Ops</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/wizard-ops-review/">Wizard Ops Review</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/s6bwQrrd8Ks" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Dan Lee <span title='Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:04:08 +0000'>24 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/wizard-ops-review/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/wizard-ops-review/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-4413158975817930572011-11-23T07:48:00.001-08:002011-11-23T07:48:40.197-08:00Digits Make Any Gloves Usable with iOS Devices<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

Well, that’s what the news reports say anyway – being here in south Texas, I haven’t had to wear a jacket at all yet. But I was in Chicago last January, during sub-freezing temperatures. I had to wear gloves! Now, the problem is that wearing gloves makes it hard to use the capacative screens that the iPhone and most other touchscreen devices boast. Whenever I wanted to take a picture or check my phone, I had to take off my gloves, and risk my hands suffering instant frostbite, because I have lived in Texas my whole life and am not even used to snow, much less the 10-degree-Fahrenheit temperatures I experienced the day I was out and about downtown Chicago. Well, not using my phone was not an option! If only I had some sort of way to use my phone with my gloves!</p> <p>I am not alone in my problem. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/11/south-korean-iphone-users-turn-to-sausages-as-a-cold-weather-me/">South Koreans used sausages</a>, and <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/miscellaneous/e797/">conductive gloves do exist</a>. But what if I have a pair of gloves that I really like, and want to use my phone with? Is there not a compromise that exists? Oh, but there is! Meet a handy little accessory called Digits.</p> <p><img title="digits_06" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-100491" src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/digits_06-300x171.jpg" height="171" alt="" width="300" style="float: right; display: block; padding-left: 10px;" />Digits consists of 4 dots that attach to any normal pair of gloves, and serve as conductive pins. By putting them on the thumbs and index fingers of a pair of gloves, they can allow any pair of gloves to control a capacitive touchscreen device. How wonderful! Now, texts and emails can actually be sent while the temperature outside feels like some kind of negative number! Or, enjoy the Avalanche mode of <em><a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/super-quickhook/" title="Super QuickHook Review">Super QuickHook</a></em> while in an actual avalanche! (Disclaimer: 148Apps is not responsible for the safety of anyone who attempts to use their touchscreen device during an avalanche)</p> <p>Digits are available now in a pack of 4 for $11.99. <a href="http://www.quirky.com/products/37-Digits-Conductive-Glove-Pins">They are available from Quirky’s website</a>, or from outlets like <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/e76e/">ThinkGeek</a>. While they might not be of much use in areas that consider snow to be nothing but a wild fairy tale, in colder climates, these may be extremely useful for those who can’t bear to keep their phones in their pockets at any point!</p> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/digits-gloves-usable-ios-devices/">Digits Make Any Gloves Usable with iOS Devices</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/-Z9W1kehpks" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Carter Dotson <span title='Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:30:45 +0000'>23 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/digits-gloves-usable-ios-devices/">http://www.148apps.com/news/digits-gloves-usable-ios-devices/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-27759946892155734592011-11-23T07:05:00.000-08:002011-11-23T07:06:01.933-08:00Nutty Sam Review<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

Somehow he is half Chameleon, half Blowfish and he’s also a tad obsessed about nuts. So begins an adventure all about collecting as many golden nuts as possible.</p> <p><img title="mzl.kyggmgmt.320x480-75" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-100512" src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mzl.kyggmgmt.320x480-75-300x200.jpg" height="200" alt="" width="300" style="float: right; display: block; padding-left: 10px;" /><i>Nutty Sam</i> is a concept that we’ve seen before: a physics based puzzle game but familarity doesn’t breed contempt here. The player must guide Sam around each level in orer to collect all the golden nuts. This is done by using Sam’s blowfish ability to inflate himself and propel upwards and around. Wind plays an important factor here, affecting Sam’s trajectory. There’s also the prospect of slingslots and even launch pads and switches that affect Sam’s progression. </p> <p>In the free version, <i>Nutty Sam</i> supplies 20 levels to get to grips with. It’s an appropriate amount of time to appreciate what’s involved, although I did find it wasn’t until the last few levels that I was actually challenged by the game’s design. </p> <p>Controls are simple to get to grips with. Holding a finger to the screen inflates Sam while releasing causes him to fall. A careful balance of the two while also using the wind to navigate makes <i>Nutty Sam</i> simple enough for all the family to play. It does require some careful finger taps to collect up all of the nuts but like many games of this genre, it’s not essential to collect all pieces in order to progress. Extending longevity in this way and encouraging players to go back to perfect a stage is further enhanced with the par moves gauge offering more points. </p> <p>It won’t take long to complete the 20 levels available here but for a small fee of $0.99, another 40 levels can be unlocked. It’s a keen way of using freemium pricing, essentially offering up 20 levels as an extended demo and providing enough of a hook to pay out for the full package. For the physics puzzle fan, <i>Nutty Sam</i> is an ideal game to check out. </p> <p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/k3Llq6OGOT0" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe></center><br /> </p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/477991449" title="Nutty Sam: Swing, Slide & Soar to Survive"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/477/477991449/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/477991449" title="Nutty Sam: Swing, Slide & Soar to Survive" /><h2>Nutty Sam: Swing, Slide & Soar to Survive</h2><br /><b>Universal App</b> - Designed for iPhone and iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/477991449/go" title="Nutty Sam: Swing, Slide & Soar to Survive" target="_blank">FREE</a><br /><div style="text-decoration: none;"><span><b>Our Rating:</b> <img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/blankstar.png" border="0" alt="☆" /> :: FREE FUN<br /><a href="http://148apps.com/?p=100507" target="_blank">Read Our Full Review >></a></span></div>Released: 2011-11-22 :: Category: Games</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/477991449" target="_blank">Nutty Sam: Swing, Slide & Soar to Survive</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/nutty-sam-review/">Nutty Sam Review</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/N0xr9kxvNf4" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Jennifer Allen <span title='Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:04:07 +0000'>23 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/nutty-sam-review/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/nutty-sam-review/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-5171649709555810442011-11-23T06:47:00.001-08:002011-11-23T06:47:25.416-08:00The Portable Podcast, Episode 112<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

This app is designed to be a replacement for the native contacts app. It has many features that the native app does not have, however there are still a few minor bugs that need to be worked out.</p> <p>The main reason I was interested in this app was I wanted to be able to send group SMS and email messages. It integrates with the native contacts app and automatically imports contacts without any sync time. Contacts can be edited, deleted and added to contact groups. There are also many more display options available in <em>ContactsTap</em> than in the native app, including contact pictures that can be viewed from the main contact list. <em>ContactsTap</em> also doubles as a calendar app. Calendar events can be created and edited within the app and will sync with the native calendar app. </p> <p>The interface of <em>ContactsTap</em> is very easy to use. I was able to navigate and set up contact groups without any trouble. I will say that it takes some time to figure out every little function since there are so many options available. </p> <p>There are a few bugs that I found that I think need to be remedied and the developer is already aware of most of them. Currently the ability to send group SMS messages seems to only work if iMessage, MMS and Group Messages are turned off in iOS 5. Also, I sometimes noticed that not all my contacts within a contact group get added to a group SMS message. A few get left out. I'm betting these bugs will be fixed in a future update.</p> <p>Overall this is a very useful little app. Despite its quirks it has the ability to send group messages and it gives more user options than the native contacts app. There are some other similar apps out there, but I feel that <em>ContactsTap</em> competes with them well. The app is fairly priced at $1.99 and it has the potential to be a complete contacts app replacement as soon as these key bugs are resolved.</p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/314869828" title="ContactsTap - Contacts Manager, Groups Text & Email"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/314/314869828/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/314869828" title="ContactsTap - Contacts Manager, Groups Text & Email" /><h2>ContactsTap - Contacts Manager, Groups Text & Email</h2><br /><b>iPhone App</b> - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/314869828/go" title="ContactsTap - Contacts Manager, Groups Text & Email" target="_blank">$1.99</a><br /><div style="text-decoration: none;"><span><b>Our Rating:</b> <img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/halfstar.png" border="0" alt="½" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/blankstar.png" border="0" alt="☆" /> :: GROUP SMS!<br /><a href="http://148apps.com/?p=100433" target="_blank">Read Our Full Review >></a></span></div>Released: 2009-05-10 :: Category: Utilities</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/314869828" target="_blank">ContactsTap - Contacts Manager, Groups Text & Email</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/contactstap-review/">ContactsTap Review</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/jv3AOjVAoSw" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Michael Halloran <span title='Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:04:59 +0000'>23 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/contactstap-review/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/contactstap-review/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-272885998276594162011-11-22T11:05:00.000-08:002011-11-22T11:06:01.966-08:00Songineer – Instant Composer Review<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

Amateurs such as myself have programs with exceedingly simple interfaces (and very few options) to futz with, and professionals have soundboards and synthesizers and such, but what about people who want to move from push-button tunes to legitimate song construction?</p> <p><em>Songineer</em> is the very thing those people need: a kind of “missing link” in compositional evolution. It’s interface encourages play and exploration, but allows for much more involved projects. It’s audio output options are vast, but aren’t necessary to delve into until after users are more familiar with the app. Tracks can be arranged, layered, copied and pasted. Tempo and pitch can be adjusted, then readjusted as needed. It’s not going to replace a recording studio or that super-expensive audio software, but it helps to ease users from the simple to the mind-bogglingly complex.</p> <p>As I’ve mentioned, there’s quite a bit of depth to <em>Songineer</em>‘s toolset if one is willing to dive into it. At least, lots of depth when compared to those toy-like music generators. Sure, a good deal of it involves jumping into a menu or two and tweaking settings, but a lot can also be done on-the-fly, so to speak. The entire track can be selected with a couple of taps and the pitch or tempo can be changed with one or two more. Individual notes can be fiddled with in a similar fashion. It’s all surprisingly intuitive, despite seeming a bit overwhelming at first.</p> <p><img title="songineer04" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-100416" src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/songineer04-300x200.jpg" height="200" alt="" width="300" style="float: right; display: block; padding-left: 10px;" />Which is the one major pitfall of <em>Songineer</em>: it’s initial complexity. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nowhere near as scary as the “professional” stuff, but it <strong>is</strong> a big step up from randomly tapping on squares in a grid to make something that resembles music. There are a lot of menus and options to play around with, and most of them can have a major impact on a work in progress. There’s a built-in help document of sorts that explains a lot of it, as well as some online video tutorials, but dabblers like me will no doubt be inclined to simply jump in and see what does what. And that won’t necessarily yield positive results.</p> <p><em>Songineer</em> might be too much to handle for those content to treat musical compositions as a form of play. It also might seem a bit too simple for experienced song-smiths looking to craft their tunes on the go. However, I think it’s ideal for the in-betweenies.

The idea behind the app is to record the user's eating and drinking habits by taking photos of the things that they consume. By doing so, users will become more conscious of their nutrition choices. <i>The Eatery</i> serves a modern take on a similar system in which dieters write down their daily consumption of food and drink. </p> <p>The app features a clean interface that is as equally intuitive as it is slick. Users tap on the "snap" tab to photograph their meal, which the app uploads to <i>The Eatery</i> community. There, other users rate how healthy each meal is. Users can then browse through their uploaded meal photographs, getting feedback from other dieters on their diet choices. <i>The Eatery</i> even provides trend information on user's eating habits, helping them keep track of whether they're eating better or worse lately. The hope is the social pressure from other users will encourage users to eat more healthily.</p> <p>Of course, <i>The Eatery</i> is only as helpful as users are honest when they use it. Personally, as someone who has a weakness for unhealthy eating, I have a difficult enough time privately keeping track of my daily food choices by writing it all down. But sharing with the Internet that I dined upon a California Burrito for dinner — and including a photograph of my debauchery to boot? Truthfully, I'm not exactly jumping at the opportunity. That said, it's this social pressure that – if users are willing to play <i>The Eatery</i>'s game honestly – will likely make it a successful diet tool.</p> <p>Users can also rate other's meal choices, so it's not just all about having one's own diet judged by the collective conscious of the Internet. And there's also Facebook integration, which makes the experience even more personal. For more timid users, though, they can use <i>The Eatery</i> anonymously.</p> <p>All around, this is a modernized version of an old popular diet regimen – one that may in fact work even better than the original. Plus, it's free, so kudos to Massive Health Inc. for that. </p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/468299990" title="The Eatery"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/468/468299990/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/468299990" title="The Eatery" /><h2>The Eatery</h2><br /><b>iPhone App</b> - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/468299990/go" title="The Eatery" target="_blank">FREE</a><br /><div style="text-decoration: none;"><span><b>Our Rating:</b> <img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/blankstar.png" border="0" alt="☆" /> :: GET HEALTHY<br /><a href="http://148apps.com/?p=100396" target="_blank">Read Our Full Review >></a></span></div>Released: 2011-11-01 :: Category: Healthcare & Fitness</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/468299990" target="_blank">The Eatery</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/eatery/">The Eatery</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/uXZBBkAd_Dc" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Phillip Levin <span title='Tue, 22 Nov 2011 18:04:31 +0000'>23 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/eatery/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/eatery/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-91968008167744251492011-11-22T09:31:00.000-08:002011-11-22T09:32:02.339-08:00Alchemy Meets Collectible Cards in Fullmetal Battle, by Funimation<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

As far as anime goes, it’s kind of a big-name series. And unlike <strong>other</strong> popular series (*cough* <em>Dragon Ball Z</em> *cough*) it’s actually <strong>good</strong>. The story of the Elric brothers has seen a number of adaptations and spin-offs, so it was only a matter of time before one of those spin-offs got its own game.</p> <p><em><a href="http://www.facebook.com/fullmetalbattle" target="_blank">FMA Battle</a></em> is a relatively new collectible card game based on the “less old” <em>Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood</em> series. Calling it a spin-off, however, isn’t entirely accurate. The original show followed the manga (a.k.a the source material) up until about the halfway mark, then went off and did its own thing. <em>Brotherhood</em> sticks to the script, so to speak. So technically, the <strong>original</strong> anime series was actually a spin-off. Confusing, no?</p> <p>Getting away from semantics and back to the game at-hand, <em>FMA Battle</em> is a free-to-play CCG set in the <em>FMA</em> universe. Players will construct their deck and customize a team of three alchemists while continually dueling with others online. Cards/characters will gain experience as they’re used, earning new abilities as they get incrementally stronger. Of course, this <strong>is</strong> a freemium game, so deck expansion is limited unless players are willing to pony up some actual cash to buy new cards.</p> <p>Free online multiplayer. Collectible cards. <em>Fullmetal Alchemist</em>. I think it’s safe to assume this will find its niche pretty fast. If it sounds interesting, then why not check it out? It’s currently on the App Store, and as I’ve previously stated (repeatedly) it’s free.</p> <p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4-3io-iuLPs" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe></center><br /> <br /> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/466307748" title="FMA Battle"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/466/466307748/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/466307748" title="FMA Battle" /><h2>FMA Battle</h2><br /><b>iPhone App</b> - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/466307748/go" title="FMA Battle" target="_blank">FREE</a><br />Released: 2011-10-21 :: Category: Games</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /> </p> <b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/466307748" target="_blank">FMA Battle</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/alchemy-meets-collectible-cards-fullmetal-battle-funimation/">Alchemy Meets Collectible Cards in Fullmetal Battle, by Funimation</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/62gZQst99pk" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Rob Rich <span title='Tue, 22 Nov 2011 17:30:54 +0000'>23 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/alchemy-meets-collectible-cards-fullmetal-battle-funimation/">http://www.148apps.com/news/alchemy-meets-collectible-cards-fullmetal-battle-funimation/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-82926049272396613832011-11-22T09:15:00.000-08:002011-11-22T09:16:05.028-08:00Pocket Informant HD Review<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

Years and plenty of technology later and it’s the iPad and iPhone that helps people remember what they’re meant to be doing next. One such way is through the use of <i>Pocket Informant HD</i>, an app that has the look of a physical personal organizer but with the ease of touch screen controls.</p> <p><img title="mzl.byzhvmtw.480x480-75" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-100356" src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mzl.byzhvmtw.480x480-75-300x219.jpg" height="219" alt="" width="300" style="float: right; display: block; padding-left: 10px;" />Upon loading <i>Pocket Informant HD</i>, the app offers the choice of watching a video tutorial but it’s not really needed. Everything is laid out in a very simple and intuitive way. Tabs reside on the side of the screen just like with a real diary. One section focuses on today keeping track of what events are occuring and what tasks must be completed that day. Each event can be linked to a contact on the iPad making it easy to contact them or just keep track of who else will be where. Event location mapping is also possible saving some effort. </p> <p>A separate tab can be used solely to keep track of ongoing tasks while a third tab provides a calendar interface for quick consultation of what’s happening on which day. </p> <p>In each case, <i>Pocket Informant HD</i> is very easy to use. All the buttons available do exactly what they suggest making the app an ideal tool to keep track of everything from business appointments to family plans or just what life improvement tasks need to be made and when. Tasks can be priotized according to the user’s needs. It’s very flexible. </p> <p>Filtering goes some way to improving that so that it’s easy to mix and match different types of tasks either according to type or color coding. There’s even a Timebar system to show how much free time the user has at a glance which can be either very useful or very disheartening depending on how busy a time it is!</p> <p>Syncing via Google Calendar ensures that everything is safely stored elsewhere with the option to store with Outlook for Windows Sync. </p> <p><i>Pocket Informant HD</i> is a little pricey at first glance but as an app that does everything anyone in need of controlling their life could want, it’s an appropriate price. Used correctly, <i>Pocket Informant HD</i> could go some way to improving efficiency and timekeeping. It’s hard to put a price on somthing like that.<br /> </p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/380732176" title="Pocket Informant HD (Calendar & Tasks)"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/380/380732176/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/380732176" title="Pocket Informant HD (Calendar & Tasks)" /><h2>Pocket Informant HD (Calendar & Tasks)</h2><br /><b>iPad Only App</b> - Designed for the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/380732176/go" title="Pocket Informant HD (Calendar & Tasks)" target="_blank">$14.99</a><br />Released: 2010-07-22 :: Category: Productivity</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/380732176" target="_blank">Pocket Informant HD (Calendar & Tasks)</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/pocket-informant-hd-review/">Pocket Informant HD Review</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/znhOFIOY7bU" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Jennifer Allen <span title='Tue, 22 Nov 2011 17:04:28 +0000'>23 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/pocket-informant-hd-review/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/pocket-informant-hd-review/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-43757577530877663032011-11-22T08:32:00.001-08:002011-11-22T08:32:16.431-08:00Get Experienced With Jimi Hendrix<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

They say the app will evolve with new videos and features added regularly, but as it stands it's a pretty groovy package.</p> <p>It looks at Jimi’s studio works, albums, filmography and the "Experience", which references both the name of his band and the Voodoo Chile scene. That's not all, there’s a Venues section and one just on the Isle of Wight Festival with some goodies like a real-to-real tape player. The free app has AirPlay support, and social network integration.</p> <p><br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/477975150" title="Jimi Hendrix: The Complete Experience"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/477/477975150/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/477975150" title="Jimi Hendrix: The Complete Experience" /><h2>Jimi Hendrix: The Complete Experience</h2><br /><b>Universal App</b> - Designed for iPhone and iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/477975150/go" title="Jimi Hendrix: The Complete Experience" target="_blank">FREE</a><br />Released: 2011-11-17 :: Category: Music</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /></p> <b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/477975150" target="_blank">Jimi Hendrix: The Complete Experience</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/experienced-jimi-hendrix/">Get Experienced With Jimi Hendrix</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/XHLbtStyZOc" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Lisa Caplan <span title='Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:30:52 +0000'>23 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/experienced-jimi-hendrix/">http://www.148apps.com/news/experienced-jimi-hendrix/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-63523338618841974742011-11-22T08:05:00.001-08:002011-11-22T08:05:49.984-08:00Jurassic Park: The Game 1 HD Review<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

Aged 9, I’d been a huge dinosaur fan for 3 years previously. The film captured my imagination in a way that very few films have managed since. Sure, the park was dangerous but I’d have willingly gone to visit it nonetheless. </p> <p><img title="mzl.qyiqadlt.480x480-75" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-100350" src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/mzl.qyiqadlt.480x480-751-300x225.jpg" height="225" alt="" width="300" style="float: right; display: block; padding-left: 10px;" /><i>Jurassic Park: The Game 1</i> offers that chance to visit Isla Nublar although exploration is a little limited. Taking a different path to Telltale Games’ previous titles, <i>Jurassic Park: The Game 1</i> is essentially an interactive movie. Following the story of the first Jurassic Park film, the game looks at the experiences of Nima, a professional smuggler and also park veterinarian Gerry and his daughter. The change of perspective offers Telltale Games’ some creative license in how they approach the story, while still offering some insight to the land of Isla Nublar.</p> <p>The story should have the potential to be interesting but it fails to truly get going in this short time, as is often the problem with episodic content. The characters also fail to intrigue with Nima, in particular, feeling quite two dimensional. The gameplay used within it doesn’t fare so well either. Some scenes require some basic exploration and puzzle solving but it’s never challenging by any means. </p> <p>The bulk of the gameplay stems from the many Quick Time Events which are very reminiscient of PS3′s <i>Heavy Rain</i>. Some controls may require dragging a button to the left or right while others, such as dodging from a dinosaur, involves a quick swipe from side to side. It’s all fine and functional enough but far from challenging. In fact, failing a move only seems to affect the medal awarded at the end of the scene. </p> <p><i>Jurassic Park: The Game 1</i> does look quite impressive on the iPad 2 but it comes at a small price. Even after rebooting the device, I still had occassional moments of sluggishness and slow loading times which did get a little frustrating. </p> <p>Ultimately though, this is far from the biggest issue. <i>Jurassic Park: The Game 1</i> just isn’t very exciting despite the subject matter. The story and dialogue just isn’t up to the quality of past Telltale Games which is a great disappointment. I’ll be crossing my fingers in the hope that future episodes up the ante. On paper, this should have been great. </p> <p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gyUmniXSjdM" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe></center><br /> </p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/474011277" title="Jurassic Park: The Game 1 HD"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/474/474011277/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/474011277" title="Jurassic Park: The Game 1 HD" /><h2>Jurassic Park: The Game 1 HD</h2><br /><b>Universal App</b> - Designed for iPhone and iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/474011277/go" title="Jurassic Park: The Game 1 HD" target="_blank">$6.99</a><br />Released: 2011-11-15 :: Category: Games</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/474011277" target="_blank">Jurassic Park: The Game 1 HD</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/jurassic-park-game-1-hd-review/">Jurassic Park: The Game 1 HD Review</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/avutayMjo8o" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Jennifer Allen <span title='Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:04:27 +0000'>23 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/jurassic-park-game-1-hd-review/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/jurassic-park-game-1-hd-review/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-4192032618979706342011-11-22T07:31:00.000-08:002011-11-22T07:32:04.648-08:00Top 3 App Deals for 11/22/11<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

This iPad iteration of the popular title, the most recent in the popular Mystery Case Files series, is creepy, but in the best possible way.</p> <p>Fans of the PC series may know this title is the sequel to <em>Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst</em> and picks up where it left off. Gamers play as a mysterious detective, just heading home from that case. On the way, a blizzard hits the English countryside and strands the hero outside a deserted and seemingly abandoned hotel. Of course, something is amiss; an abandoned car and some videotape reveal grad students in trouble. A scribbled note ominously warns that the old legends about the place are true.</p> <p>While the game nods its head in some asides to previous titles, this is a stand-alone game. And, what separates it from its ilk are not only the stunning graphics, but also the incorporation of real video footage that looks like it may have been left over from <em>The Blair Witch Project</em>.</p> <p>The goal, ultimately, is to find all the missing video-vignettes, which unveil the big secrets. To do so, players engage in standard point-and-click adventuring through the hotel, finding clues and objects to add to their inventory for use in solving future puzzles. Other vital objects are hidden in lush seek-and-find rooms.</p> <p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-100322" title="IMG_3869" src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/IMG_3869-300x225.jpg" height="225" alt="" style="float: left; display: block; padding-right: 10px;" width="300" />The game is far from linear, which means moving back and forth from environment to environment often, and keeping track of a lot of potentially useful bits of information. There is a hint button, one use per five minutes, for the hidden object puzzles and casebook which records all the random facts for gamers to refer to on their quest. For those in a rush to see the live action play out, there is also a complete strategy guide making this game ideal for veterans of the genre and newcomers alike.</p> <p>The graphics are gorgeous and the video adds a refreshing albeit eerie twist. The story, while perhaps pushing the boundaries of suspended disbelief, is nonetheless one players will stick around to see conclude. The puzzles themselves are standard offerings, not really bringing anything new to the genre, but the packaging will leave players hoping Big Fish ports the rest of the series or comes out with an iOS-friendly sequel soon.</p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d5bf1eN2h30" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe><br /> </p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/455305277" title="Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Collector's Edition HD"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/455/455305277/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/455305277" title="Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Collector's Edition HD" /><h2>Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Collector's Edition HD</h2><br /><b>iPad Only App</b> - Designed for the iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/455305277/go" title="Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Collector's Edition HD" target="_blank">$4.99</a><br /><div style="text-decoration: none;"><span><b>Our Rating:</b> <img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/star.png" border="0" alt="★" /><img src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/plugins/star-rating-for-reviews/images/blankstar.png" border="0" alt="☆" /> :: SCARY SOLVING<br /><a href="http://148apps.com/?p=100314" target="_blank">Read Our Full Review >></a></span></div>Released: 2011-11-17 :: Category: Games</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/455305277" target="_blank">Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Collector's Edition HD</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/mystery-case-files-dire-grove-collectors-edition-review/">Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove Collector's Edition Review</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/2rT5UQ9n_AY" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Lisa Caplan <span title='Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:04:26 +0000'>22 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/mystery-case-files-dire-grove-collectors-edition-review/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/mystery-case-files-dire-grove-collectors-edition-review/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-90065890427378373552011-11-22T06:32:00.000-08:002011-11-22T06:33:06.738-08:00Chrono Trigger Coming To iPhone Next Month<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

Whether it’s by releasing new games like <i><a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/chaos-rings-review/">Chaos Rings</a></i> or resurrecting old classics like <i><a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/final-fantasy/">Final Fantasy 1</a></i>, <i><a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/final-fantasy-ii/">2</a></i> and <i><a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/final-fantasy-iii-review/">3</a></i>, JRPG fans are guaranteed a good time. </p> <p>Why am I explaining all this? Because Square Enix has just announced that one of the greatest RPGs of all time, <i>Chrono Trigger</i>, is heading to the iPhone and iPod Touch sometime before the end of the year!</p> <p>For the uninformed, <i>Chrono Trigger</i> was a fantastic collaborative effort by the creator of <i>Final Fantasy</i>, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and creator of <i>Dragon Quest</i>, Yuji Horii. Originally released on the SNES, it’s a lengthy tale of time travel to all sorts of places from the Middle Ages to a post-apocalyptic future and boasts 15 different endings. </p> <p>No price details or exact release date have been announced just yet but we have got some pretty screenshots to stare at in preparation.</p> <p>For now, be very excited by the forthcoming release of <i>Chrono Trigger</i>. It’s a true classic of the genre. </p> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/chrono-trigger-coming-iphone-month/">Chrono Trigger Coming To iPhone Next Month</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/JItH26Cbqps" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Jennifer Allen <span title='Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:30:54 +0000'>22 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/news/chrono-trigger-coming-iphone-month/">http://www.148apps.com/news/chrono-trigger-coming-iphone-month/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-30048279121246506112011-11-22T06:05:00.000-08:002011-11-22T06:06:01.822-08:00Saving Yello Review<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

The goal of this game is to launch poor mistreated goldfish Yello through various household levels, destroying objects in his way to get points. Fire, dynamite, and ice powerups can be picked up to help destroy certain objects easier throughout the game’s 45 levels.</p> <p>This feels a lot like a platformer as much as it does a physics puzzler; having to navigate levels as well as destroy objects makes the game feel somewhat fresh in a genre that is extremely crowded. Also welcome is the game’s universal binary; many physics puzzlers avoid doing this, and considering that many physics puzzlers work better on the iPad, I’m glad to see a game offering universal app support. Sadly, there’s no cloud saving yet, despite OpenFeint support, but I won’t be greedy.</p> <p><img title="Saving_Yello_screenshot6" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-100297" src="http://www.148apps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Saving_Yello_screenshot61-300x200.png" height="200" alt="" width="300" style="float: right; display: block; padding-left: 10px;" /><em>Saving Yello</em> is unfortunately quite short; the 45 levels can be burned through rather quickly. I think the format could be played with more – how about levels that allow for unlimited launches, but would reward speed as well as point collection? The slot machine-esque element of destroying multiple of the same type of item in a row feels more like luck, or at least an artificial element introduced by level design rather than gameplay design, as the only real difference between objects is where they are placed in a level. As well, while there’s a star system here, I have to take this time to ask: what’s our motivation for collecting stars? Are they merely there as a checklist to entice us to play more, rather than as an indicator of progress? What exactly possesses us to keep collecting stars? I don’t know. This is a comment/complaint that could be made by many games, but I just have to ask, why? </p> <p><em>Saving Yello</em> is a solid entry in yes, quite the crowded genre, and while it’s not essential, it does things differently enough to be worth a pickup for fans of the genre.</p> <p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/w7-mW0XQNrg" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe></center></p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/465065038" title="Saving Yello"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/465/465065038/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/465065038" title="Saving Yello" /><h2>Saving Yello</h2><br /><b>Universal App</b> - Designed for iPhone and iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/465065038/go" title="Saving Yello" target="_blank">$0.99</a><br />Released: 2011-11-17 :: Category: Games</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/465065038" target="_blank">Saving Yello</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/saving-yello-review/">Saving Yello Review</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/f4r8i1tZiyo" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Carter Dotson <span title='Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:04:25 +0000'>22 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/saving-yello-review/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/saving-yello-review/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1829624458618762351.post-84080172265466820202011-11-21T13:05:00.001-08:002011-11-21T13:05:55.961-08:00Bagatelle Pinball HD Review<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; background-color: #BB8888; color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #EECCCC; padding: 5px;"> Thank you for using <strong>rssforward.com</strong>!

The problem is, pinball games, and really all games, have long since evolved. <em>Bagatelle Pinball HD</em> might work as some sort of anachronistic novelty if only it were more fun to play.</p> <p>When one imagines “pinball,” chances are flippers and ramps come to mind. This game is actually closer to something like pachinko. Using the touch screen players, launch one of their ten balls onto the field and watch as it hits bumpers and other environmental objects for points before falling into the abyss.</p> <p>The key word is “watch” because outside of controlling how hard they launch the ball, players have virtually no control over what goes on. Supposedly shaking can effect the ball’s path but it’s subtle. Really though, players will spend most of their watching balls go through a random path, watching it fall, launching another one and repeating the process. When the ball starts bouncing like crazy it can be fun to watch and at a casino, this might’ve been a fun way to make money. However, as a game it can be rather boring.</p> <p>There are five boards with mildly different stuff for the ball to bounce off of but the change is not too noticeable. From a visual standpoint they seem to be pretty decent retro recreations of actual boards but incredibly detailed wood paneling is as exciting as it sounds. One possible standout is the ninja board. Something about slicing sounds and spinning shurikens is inherently cool. Pinballs hitting against things remains fun and the satisfying sounds are well represented here. Also more boards are coming soon – maybe the overall game will improve.</p> <p>Players can view their high score but there is no real way to share them so it adds little value. Some may perhaps find a kind of vague, mindless sort of fun in playing <em>Bagatelle Pinball HD</em>. Beyond that though, there are many more engaging games in the App Store.</p> <p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fmwXaJmHTBM" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" frameborder="0" width="600"> </iframe></center><br /> </p> <br clear="all" /><div style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ef4723;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/472761959" title="Bagatelle Pinball HD"><img src="http://img.148apps.com/images/itms/472/472761959/icon100x100.png" border="0" height="100" width="100" style="float: left; display: block; padding-bottom: 10px;" /></a><div style="padding-left: 120px; padding-top: 5px;"><a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/472761959" title="Bagatelle Pinball HD" /><h2>Bagatelle Pinball HD</h2><br /><b>Universal App</b> - Designed for iPhone and iPad<br /> <b>Buy Now:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/app/472761959/go" title="Bagatelle Pinball HD" target="_blank">$0.99</a><br />Released: 2011-10-17 :: Category: Games</div><div style="clear: both;"></div></div><br clear="all" /><b>Apps mentioned in this post:</b> <a href="http://148apps.com/app/472761959" target="_blank">Bagatelle Pinball HD</a><br /> <br clear="all" /><br /> <b>About:</b> <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/bagatelle-pinball-hd-review/">Bagatelle Pinball HD Review</a> is a post from <a href="http://www.148apps.com">148Apps</a><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/148apps/~4/rKKl0fwJmf0" height="1" width="1" /> <p /> <i>Jordan Minor <span title='Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:04:19 +0000'>22 Nov, 2011</span></i><br /> <p /> <br>--<br>Source: <a href="http://www.148apps.com/reviews/bagatelle-pinball-hd-review/">http://www.148apps.com/reviews/bagatelle-pinball-hd-review/</a><br>~<br><a href="http://rssforward.com/subscriptions/8dc5571233acd823b83bad846df672e0/edit">Manage subscription</a> | Powered by <a href="http://rssforward.com/?footer">rssforward.com</a>darwishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14913631626232516036noreply@blogger.com0
