Having been big fans of Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, we’re pretty excited to announce that Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation is on its way to iOS devices this fall.

Not many details have been released yet but the key facts are as follows:

  • An intense 13-mission campaign with immersive cinematics and memorable moments.
  • A frantic multiplayer with up to 12 players, 6 maps and 6 different modes.
  • An addictive ranking system with more than 90 experience ranks.
  • High-tech modern weaponry with modifications and attachments.
  • Next-gen high quality visuals that will compete with the RAGE and UNREAL engines.

Visuals that promise to compete with the RAGE and UNREAL engines sound particularly exciting and looking at the two screenshots released so far and the trailer, high hopes are understandable.

For those yet to play Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, this is the ideal time as currently both iPhone and iPad versions are on sale at a very reasonable $0.99 each.

Roll on Fall for the third instalment!

Antiques Roadshow: Discovering America’s Hidden Treasures Review

Offering hidden object hunting that fails to be a cut above the rest.

Turning a show like Antiques Roadshow into a Hidden Object game is a mystery in itself. Some form of appraising game might have been fine and quite interesting, getting players to guess the value of items. A Hidden Object game feels like a larger leap however. Adding a storyline for instance is a little painful, not quite working within the concept. That’s not to say that Antiques Roadshow: Discovering America’s Hidden Treasures is bad. It’s just not really interesting enough to bump it up the list of other Hidden Object games available.

The loose storyline involves Julia, an antiques enthusiast who digs her way around various landscapes in order to find new treasures. It’s not quite as simple as that though and it’s not long before secret codes emerge and mini games start playing a role. The problem is it’s not that interesting a tale.

Much of the time is spent searching around typical landscape scenes such as in a shed or attic. Players have to collect up all the items on the list as is usually the way in such titles. There’s the addition of special items to mix things up slightly but the concept is the same. Tap too many times incorrectly and a cloud of dust gets in the way, requiring a swipe of a finger a few times to clear it. It’s a nice touch at first. The problem lies in that the game doesn’t feel overly sensitive to the touch. A few times, I’d tap an object and it wouldn’t respond until I hit just the right spot on the screen. If it was occasional, it wouldn’t be so bad but this happened frequently enough to be an irritant.

Besides the Hidden Object segments, there are a few mini games interspersed in which Julia must fix the antiques before submitting them for appraisal (don’t get excited: the appraisal part isn’t interactive). A classic example of ‘don’t try this at home’ as the antiques would be sure to be ruined by an amateur hand. Some of these mini games are ok; others are quite dull such as one that involves searching through buttons to match corresponding ones up.

Therein lies the problem with Antiques Roadshow: Discovering America’s Hidden Treasures. It’s just not compelling enough, instead feeling very by the books in terms of what’s required of a Hidden Object game. Throw in the fact that controls are a little unresponsive at times and it makes for an average game amongst a sea of other titles that are a more attractive bunch.

Find A Suitable Bar With DrinkedIn

Thank you for using rssforward.com! This service has been made possible by all our customers. In order to provide a sustainable, best of the breed RSS to Email experience, we've chosen to keep this as a paid subscription service. If you are satisfied with your free trial, please sign-up today. Subscriptions without a plan would soon be removed. Thank you!

Somewhat similar to Liquid Fare comes DrinkedIn, an app more focused on the drinking experience than meeting new people.

DrinkedIn offers a similar GPS based experience with users able to find bars dependent on their location, however it’s the addition of the bar or pub reviews that make it useful. Much like a Social Networking app, DrinkedIn gives its users the chance to post pictures of them and their friends at a bar or write up a blog entry about it. There’s even the potential for discussion with forums available within the app.

DrinkedIn already has listings of over 150,000 bars across the US, UK, Brazil, China and the rest of the world so there should be something for everyone. Future updates are promised which will include listings and reviews of different types of alcohol.

For those looking for a different kind of drinking experience, DrinkedIn could quickly become an essential app. It’s out now and it’s free.

Rally-X Rumble Review

By
on August 26th, 2011
Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: RALLYING
Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Rally-X Rumble is a new take on the arcade game Rally-X, with a new visual style and Game Center multiplayer modes.

 

Developer: Namco Mobile
Price: $0.99
Version Reviewed: 1.0.0
Device Reviewed On: iPod touch 4

Graphics / Sound Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Game Controls Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Gameplay Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Replay Value Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Overall Rating: 3.63 out of 5 stars

Namco has a vast trove of old-school arcade games that they can mine material from, even beyond just the typical Pac-Man and Galaga games. Digging a little deeper into the archives, Namco has pulled out an update to Rally-X and put it on iOS. Rally-X Rumble first features a neon-themed graphical style, though the actual designs are virtually identical to their 80′s arcade counterparts. The core gameplay is the same – players drive around mazes trying to pick up flags while avoiding other cars and hazards like rocks. This classic game mode is available in the game, along with three other game modes, including two designed for multiplayer play.

The two modes with multiplayer support, Paint the Town and Point Battle, present the greatest variations on the traditional Rally-X gameplay. Paint the Town has players capturing territory, with the ability to square off territory, and to steal other players’ territory. Point Battle has players trying to tag the leader, who is the only person who can pick up flags and score points. The game also keeps up Namco’s recent tradition of releasing primarily universal apps, which is a fantastic proposition for iPad and multiple device owners. While it’s not the default control scheme, the flick control scheme works perfectly with the game; I recommend switching to this one as soon as the app is opened up for the first time.

Of course, the game just doesn’t really innovate too heavily on the classic formula, and the two singleplayer-focused modes are basically the same as the old arcade game, just with a neon paint job. The problem with the online multiplayer is finding players to play with. This does mean that the multiplayer mode is something that will work better with friends that do have the game, but this is also partially Apple’s fault. By not offering some way to indicate that a player is ready to play a certain game but not actively playing it or sitting tirelessly at the matchmaking menu waiting for some other lost soul to join them, Apple is hurting the growth potential for games with live multiplayer, like this one.

While Rally-X Rumble won’t likely convert anyone who isn’t a fan of the game, those looking for a version of the game on iOS at last will enjoy this. For those who want to give the multiplayer on this game a test, my Game Center name is wondroushippo, and get in touch with me on my @wondroushippo Twitter account.

Roadshow Brings Offline Web Video Viewing to iPad

Mac users may recognize Fetch Softworks for its long-running series of file transfer apps but now the studio has made its debut on the iPad with Roadshow, “the first all-in-one iPad app for offline Web Video." Using Roadshow's custom browser, users can search for videos on sites like Vimeo, MSNBC and Funny or Die and save said videos for later offline viewing.

Roadshow users can also stream their content to their TV wirelessly via AirPlay on AppleTV, or through a wired HDMI connection. Unfortunately, due to Apple’s restrictions, Roadshow is unable to save YouTube videos. Still, response on the App Store seems mostly positive with users saying the app works as advertised. The biggest feature Fetch Softworks may want to look into adding in later versions is the ability to rename and better organize downloaded videos.

Users can download a free, ad-supported version of Roadshow that only stores up to 15 videos. For $4.99 users can then purchase the in-app Roadshow Unlimited Upgrade, removing the ads and lifting the video limit.
