Stumbling upon an iPhone app that one previously never would have thought to exist is always fun. Deadmau5 Remix is indeed one of those apps.

For those not familiar with the electronic music artist, Deadmau5 (pronounced “Dead Mouse”), Deadmau 5 Remix is an app that lets users create their very own mixes using clips from popular tracks by the artist.

Using a fairly intuitive interface, budding beat-masters can choose from a total of 72 different beats, songs and other effects – all pulled from actual Deadmau5 songs – and mix them together however they like. Essentially, Deadmau 5 Remix lets users step into the shoes of the iconic DJ himself, producing their very own take on his music.

As with any mixing app like this, players can save all their mixes and even upload them to Facebook, allowing them to share their creations with the Internet itself. There are also ongoing competitions hosted by Future Audio Workshop, the company responsible for the app (check out the website for more information on that). And they can check out the top-voted mixes by other users on Future Audio Workshop’s website too, which is kind of cool, as there are some impressive uploads on there.

There are a lot of apps on the iTunes App Store that let you DJ, but the appeal of Deadmau 5 Remix is that it lets users mix beats using sound effects and clips from well-known songs by the electronica artist. In this sense, Deadmau 5 Remix immediately stands out in an overcrowded sea of DJ mixing app clones. What’s more, the interface is very intuitive, and learning how to mix using the software is a straightforward process that shouldn’t take anyone too long.

All in all, Deadmau5 Remix is a fun – though somewhat expensive app at $2.99 – iOS creation. For iOS users at all into mixing, they’ll be able to have fun with this one.

Faqden Labs are introducing the newest app in their line of IntelliVocab apps: IntelliVocab for Business. This app, designed by MIT students, is designed to help people get acclimated to advanced vocabulary and verbiage often used in business.

The app tests users with multiple choice questions, and pronounces the words so users can get a feel for actually using them. Words will also appear in different forms, like as adjectives and adverbs, so actually learning them and how to use them properly becomes the goal instead of just rote memorization. The app also tracks stats over time, ranking users after each practice session so they can track their improvement or forbid, their decline! IntelliVocab for Business is available as a free download for the rest of June, before it goes back to its normal price of $0.99.

ESPN Radio Review

Our Rating: ★★★★☆ :: HEY! LISTEN!
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

ESPN Radio provides streaming access to a variety of local ESPN Radio affiliates as well as streaming of dozens of ESPN podcasts.

 

Developer: ESPN
Price: $2.99
Version Reviewed: 3.2.113
Device Reviewed On: iPod touch 4

ESPN Radio is an official ESPN app designed for listening to a variety of ESPN Radio content and stations. It provides access to dozens of ESPN Radio affiliates nationwide, playing ESPN talk radio content, local sports talk, and live sports broadcasts both local and national; I found a minor league baseball broadcast on one station while browsing.

The app provides for access to a ton of ESPN content; to my surprise, even MLB games were available through the app, though local blackouts do apply. There is also a wide variety of prerecorded content available, from the latest broadcasts of both national radio shows, but also some local shows on ESPN Radio stations. As well, there’s the ability to stream podcasts from ESPN, from Bill Simmons’ BS Report to audio-only versions of shows Pardon the Interruption and Around the Horn. The app also supports iOS multitasking and headset controls, so leaving the app while still listening to a station or podcast is easy.

The challenge is finding stations; the only displays are by a list of favorites or by location, which shows the closest stations. However, this tends to make the lists of stations that appear quite random. For example, finding the MLB on ESPN station took 3 presses of the “Find More Stations” button despite a game going on at the time of searching for it. The currently playing description on each station is occasionally inaccurate, or not exactly descriptive; yes, I presume that this ESPN Radio station is playing “ESPN Radio content” when I see it in the list of stations! While this is a paid app, ads still display, although they can be easily closed out.

ESPN Radio provides a treasure trove of ESPN and sports content for only $2.99, although the interface makes discovering this content more difficult than it should be. For sports fans and especially fans of ESPN content, this app provides great mobile access to a wide variety of content.

Elevator Zombies Review

Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: RETRO FUN
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

Gun down walking corpses, escape high rise buildings and explore lots and lots of doors in this surprisingly addictive homage to an old classic.

 

Developer: Triniti Interactive
Price: Free
Version: 1.2
App Reviewed on: iPhone 3GS
Graphics / Sound Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
User Interface Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Twenty some odd years ago all I had was a Nintendo Entertainment System, and since I was too young to get a job most of the games I played were rentals. I would try to vary my selections every now and then but more often than not I would rent the same few games repeatedly because I knew I enjoyed them. One such game was Taito’s love-letter to spies, Elevator Action. I would spend an entire weekend shooting out hall lights, crushing enemy agents and recovering classified documents. I still could.

Elevator Zombies is pretty much the same idea, only it features the living dead instead of black-clad spies and various power-ups and objective-based objects as opposed to top secret files. There are also a few other additions such as ammo counters, a machine gun, explosives, zombies of various makes and models, varied environments (i.e. same doors, different graphics) and a few special scenarios that almost steal the show. But more than anything it’s the objectives that keep the experience feeling like a bit more than a simple copy/paste of the Taito classic.

There’s a lot to enjoy in Elevator Zombies, although the core gameplay will probably forever be the biggest draw. Still, it looks good with its vibrant colors and mostly well done animations. It’s also pretty tough to put down. Especially when some levels cut the power and reduce visibility to a small area, then things get interesting. Unfortunately the “blackout” concept isn’t utilized nearly enough, resulting in most stages following the basic “opening doors” guideline with little to no variation. Some levels will use survivors while others use files or supplies, but it all boils down to pressing up in front of the right door. It doesn’t make it any easier to stop, but it can get repetitive after a bit.

However, failure to live up to its potential isn’t the worst of Elevator Zombies‘ transgressions. That honor goes to the controls. They aren’t awful, but they do tread dangerously close to pretty bad. The movement buttons don’t always respond right away, most likely due to their size and placement. Jumping is a thing that exists but aside from avoiding trapdoors that are usually never spotted in time in the first place it serves absolutely no purpose. Although if I could simply use it to jump across an open elevator shaft I’d have nothing bad to say about it. Seriously though, if the controls were cleaned up this would be perfect. Or at least as close to it as possible.

Despite the problematic controls that occasionally get in the way, Elevator Zombies is still a lot of fun. Having a bit more diversity to the buildings (i.e. special level conditions specific to each theme) would have been cool and seems like a missed opportunity, but there’s still plenty of old-school goodness to appease fans of the long-dead franchise. Now if only someone would revitalize the original… HINT-HINT.

SGN And MindJolt Release Mini Cafe

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!

Those who like to keep track of such things might remember that back in April, social gaming developer SGN was acquired by MindJolt Games. MindJolt games is one of MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe’s current projects. It’s been a little while since we heard of new projects from the popular developer but finally the first iOS release since the acquisition has been unveiled. It’s a social restaurant management freemium title by the name of Mini Cafe.

The clue is in the name with Mini Cafe. Players start out by cooking in a small cafe and working their way up to the heady heights of a full blown restaurant. Players get the opportunity to decorate their cafe just how they like, thus adding their own style to things. A cafe requires interesting meal ideas so, within Mini Cafe, players can cook all manners of cuisines from Italian and Mexican to French or Japanese. Bonus coins are provided for successfully matching the decor and appearance of the restaurant to the dishes served up.

As is often the way with such titles, social networking integration plays an important role with the ability to find friends via the iOS device’s phonebook, Facebook and Twitter. Building up a faithful following is important business with players needing to keep others happy by serving up their favorite dishes. Once this has been achieved, the player can then earn a photo to go in their cafe’s Wall of Fame to show off. Reputation also plays a handy role as more customers are encouraged to visit which in turn allows for new items to be unlocked and used within the building.

SGN promises numerous updates in the future for Mini Cafe including new dishes, decor and themes which should ensure that the game has staying power.

Mini Cafe is out now and it’s a free universal app with in-app purchases available.
