Anybody who, like myself, wears eyeglasses or sunglasses on a regular basis knows the problems of finding the right pair at the right price. It’s probably the hardest piece of fashion-wear to choose precisely because, in many cases, they have to suit every outfit and look for a reasonably long time.

EyeTrends sets to make this search a little easier. It’s an app that features tens of thousands of different styles, from hundreds of designer brands. The user can then browse and ‘try-on’ such items virtually to see how it suits them. Once the right set of frames is picked out, a simple tap takes the user to information as to where is geographically nearest to them. Even discounts are possible with coupons added and updated regularly within the app.

It’s a neat idea and solely for the ability to try eyeglasses on within the app, a very worthy tool to check out.

EyeTrends is out now for all iOS devices and it’s a free download.

Pretty much anyone who’s seen a ninja throwing star has probably wanted to try and fling one of those stars as hard as they can and stick it into a wall. While Ninja Throw won’t have players actually learning how to throw a throwing star, it will give them the satisfaction of sticking that star into a target. Ninja Throw is a puzzle game in which players must help a ninja train in the art of throwing stars precisely into targets.

Ninja Throw is split up into tons of levels in which players must point the ninja in the right direction so that his throwing star will find its way into the target. Using their finger, the player sets the angle at which the ninja will throw the star. Once the angle is set, the player taps on the ninja and he throws the star in a straight line. The throwing star will continue in a straight line following the angle until it either hits an obstacle, the target, or its trajectory is changed by some other element.

There are several different ways in which the trajectory of the throwing star can be changed. There are wind blowing clouds that will send the star off in a new straight line, and little shrines that exert a gravitational pull on the stars and send them in new looping paths. Using these and other variations, players can puzzle out how to get the star to the waiting target.

The gameplay is more procedural than physics based. The star doesn’t have any real weight in the world and will travel straight and true unless otherwise effected by some element in the level. While this means that the player wont have to fight against any unpredictable physics, it also means that the levels are all fairly straightforward and only take some trail and error to eventually figure out.

While this game is clever and has some very entertaining elements it is a fairly simple game. Players looking for a simple puzzle game will enjoy it, but they may get through it quickly.

If you are satisfied with your free trial, please sign-up today. Subscriptions without a plan would soon be removed. Thank you!

We’ve all seen countless check in type apps like FourSquare and Facebook‘s built in functionality but that doesn’t stop developers devising new ways of adding extra features to such a simple concept. This is precisely what’s happened with Clingle.

Clingle offers all the check in functionality anyone would expect but on top of that, it offers the ability to take photos, add video footage and even discover great deals and discounts in the local area. Users can leave surprise messages for friends to receive when they reach the relevant position. The chance to earn real life goodies in the form of the Clingle store is also available soon for those in India and USA.

While some of it might sound a lot like Foursquare, it’s the interactivity such as adding video and iTunes audio that makes all the difference. Who can resist leaving a video message for friends, after all?

Give Clingle a shot today. It’s free for all iOS devices.

Mafia Wars Shakedown Review

By Rob Rich on November 15th, 2011
Our Rating: :: DRESSED-UP
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

It ultimately amounts to little more than a fresh coat of paint, but Mafia Wars Shakedown is every bit as habit-forming as its forbears.

 

Developer: Zynga
Price: Free
Version: 1.0.4
App Reviewed on: iPhone 3GS

Graphics / Sound Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Gameplay Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Playtime Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Replay Value Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I think most iOS users are familiar with the free-to-play multiplayer style game made popular by Zynga and their original homage to all things organized crime. It’s a solid formula: expend energy (of a sort) on various tasks, earning money and experience with each completion. Then use cash to buy new gear (a.k.a make attack or defense values go up) and increase energy, defense or attack with each level gained. Complete jobs (i.e. ones that use more energy) to unlock tougher ones with better rewards, buy more gear, level up, etc. And let’s not forget taking pot-shots at random players for potential monetary gains in the interim.

There have been some changes to the concept that make Mafia Wars Shakedown more than a mere re-skinning. Although one of them is, in fact, a re-skinning. The game has been given new cartoon-ified visuals, with colorful characters sporting exaggerated features in profile portraits and mission screens. It’s not a game-changer, but it’s distinct. Then there’s the inclusion of Collections that players can amass. These items can be earned randomly through jobs or flat-out stolen from other players. Combat is pretty much the same as it was in the original, only now players can “bet” a number of offensive goons (a.k.a attack power, not goons who are jerks) against an opponent to boost their odds. Likewise, defenders can do the same with their protective goons (a.k.a defense power, not goons who don’t give people room to breathe). To the winner goes the spoils, and it’s up to them to protect their earnings by planting bombs (which are a limited resource).

The oddball cartoon style is actually fairly pleasing. There’s just something about seeing super-cute criminals performing PG-rated acts of near-violence that tickles me. I also like the inclusion of collections as it adds some variety to a genre that’s starting to feel redundant. Similarly, the way attack power is gambled in PvP fights is a clever idea as it balances out what was previously just a game of “Attack. Attack. Attack. Wait a few hours to recharge. Attack.” To an extent, anyway.

The downside to all this is that it’s essentially Mafia Wars: The Expansion. Anyone who’s spent a good deal of time with the original, or the myriad of other games that use similar mechanics, will no doubt feel like it’s more of the same. Another unfortunate necessity is the required-at-all-times network connection. No subway play for us commuters. *tear*

Ultimately it’s up to the individual to decide if Mafia Wars Shakedown is for them. Someone who’s played the original (or something like it) for a long time probably won’t find this one all that interesting. However, that’s not to say that anyone who’s been away for a while (or never played at all) won’t suddenly find themselves up at 3am checking on their criminal empire.

If you are satisfied with your free trial, please sign-up today. Subscriptions without a plan would soon be removed. Thank you!

Three more app deals for you here today. We tried to find a nice cross selection of awesome apps to share with you, helping you avoid the slog through Price Drop Lists, though you’re welcome to go take a look at those as well. Here’s what we have today:


2X2=4 – Was $1.99, now FREE
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, everyone needs to rote learn the times tables. Here’s a cute pirate themed game to help the young ones learn their multiplication facts, with some nice extras, like division, variable difficulty levels, and a choice of how complex the multiplication is. Try it out for free – I grabbed it for my 3rd grader.


Crazy John – Was $1.99, now FREE
Here’s a dual stick shooter with plenty of charm and personality by the developers behind the Call of Mini Series, Triniti Interactive. Play the titular title character and mow down wave after wave of zombies.


Snuggle Truck – Was $1.99, now FREE
Here’s the app with the controversy that no one remembers, our reviewer had this to say: “Snuggle Truck may be ridiculous, but it's fun. The gameplay requires a balance between careful driving and speed that you must learn to master in order to succeed at the game. Snuggle Truck's artwork is great – the backgrounds were designed by Bill Tiller, former LucasArts artist, who's worked on such games like the Monkey Island series, and the influence shows.”
