That means Ngmoco:) has now invested $40.6 million into their company with these outside purchases, such as when they previously acquired Miraphonic, creators of Epic Pet Wars, in November of last year. Ngmoco:) has a lot in-store for the App Store, with upcoming life/town simulation games "GodFinger" & "WeRule", but what are they gonna do with Freeverse? Well it has been revealed that they will not be disturbing previous Freeverse games (other than adding Plus+ Network Support where needed) and they will also not mess with Freeverse's two upcoming planned games ("Warpgate" & "Zombie Cannon Carnage"), but future Freeverse games will now support the "freemium" or otherwise known as "free-to-play" model that Ngmoco:) recently took up with Eliminate & Touch Pets Dogs in order to profit off In-App Purchases instead of having their apps with a set price be massively pirated. Ngmoco:) says they will be releasing at least 20 new games this year, and expect Freeverse to release just as many. As a lot of us here at the TDA Team predicted very early on, it definitely seems like Ngmoco:) is becoming a big competitor on the App Store and is trying to totally dominant it in a way. What else is in store for Ngmoco:)'s Freeverse? What company will Ngmoco:) buy out next? Only time will tell...</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><b>*UPDATED*:</b> Neil Young, the CEO of Ngmoco:) has now stated that they have also acquired the $.99 Plus+ Network Enabled Pictionary-Based Game "<i>Charadium</i>" by On5 and that they will be moving this game too to a "fremium" model. Charadium is honestly one of the most intuitive and fun games for the iPhone I've personally ever played, I don't think it needs an Update...Ever as it is practically PERFECT.

But unlike the PS3 version of Noby Noby Boy, the iPhone OS Version is not in 3D and is not an open world experience. Instead, you are given multiple tools in what appears to be some type of "toy box" that simulates an iPhone Springboard (Home Screen) like Experience except with your friend BOY hanging around all the time. The app takes advantage of the multiple features of the iPhone (isn't half as fun on an iTouch) to provide fun-like situations that help you manipulate your usage and boredom-filling time with BOY.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Noby Noby Boy for iPhone is really hard to judge. The only fair statement you can give about it is that "It's Weird" and that goes without question, but good weird? or bad weird?<br /><br />Well I've played Noby Noby Boy for PS3 which is essentially more of a cool concept idea than an actual game, but it is definitely different and definitely weird. There are things I like about it, and other things that I don't. But overall, it's pretty interesting to say the least.<br /><br />Noby Noby Boy for iPhone is also..."interesting". But it doesn't stay interesting for the amount of time the PS3 title does. And although it is not as frustrating as Noby Noby Boy for PS3 originally is, it feels very useless. Which would be fine...if it was constantly fun. The problem is even if you love the crazy concepts of Noby Noby Boy, the graphics are boring 2D and the features just simulate an iPhone springboard to act as a really strange toy box for some wacked up stuff. At first, some of these things can actually be cool to explore and play around with, like in Noby Noby Boy for PS3, but it gets very boring very fast and you realize it isn't an app you will play when you are bored, because it will only make you even more bored.<br /><br />Considering how different & unique the app's concept is, it definitely peaks interest in people at first and is interesting to explore, but once you see all of what it can do, that's about it and you probably won't touch the app too many more times other than to show people "this crazy/cool app you got". Honestly, it would be a lot more enjoyable if it was 3D and more like the PS3 version. And to even appreciate it from the beginning, you really have to be open-minded and understand the quirkiness of this series. So unfortunately, for the general public, I'd have to say you should probably pass this app, but for </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">$1.99</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">, we'll label it: </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Take A BET </span></span></b><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">OR</span></span></b></i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> DON'T</span></span></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">3 STARS</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">☆☆☆</span></span></b></span></span></span></span></span></b></span></div></div>TapDatApphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039660493705947477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569999824272529010.post-76508448766682892372010-02-11T19:21:00.004-05:002010-02-11T20:24:37.461-05:00Appload™ #7 - Riddim Ribbon, Hook Champ, Alley Gator, & MORE!!!<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://prayingtodarwin.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/18_sexy_iphone_apps_headline2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://prayingtodarwin.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/18_sexy_iphone_apps_headline2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>Presenting: Tap Dat App</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b>™ Appload™ #7</b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:medium;"><b>Riddim Ribbon</b> is the long anticipated new release from Tapulous, creators of the extremely popular Tap Tap Revenge series.

The controls are a little hard at first, but they aren't that hard to get used to...Also, the game actually only comes with 3 free songs (all by the Black Eyed Peas) as of right now, with 3 more songs (by other artists) available as In-App Purchases for $.99 each.

Although I have to honestly say it seems much more like a larger iPhone/iPod Touch than an actual computer, the device will most definitely revolutionize personal computing and entertainment systems. But how does this affect the App Store & the World of iDevices as we know it so far? With HD Capabilities, "iBook" Reading, the Ability to Download & Use Any Already Existing iPhone/iPod Touch App and Display It Much Larger + Exclusive iPad Apps, the system is definitely a huge step forward in the subject our whole website revolves around. The iPad means adding more personal experiences to the Apps we already know & love! Plus exploring new ones on a 9.7 inch LED-backlit touch screen with a 1024-by-768-pixel resolution. Basically, we expect that the iPad will for the most part give iDevices new meaning & some new purposes and not to mention a more in-depth way of using App Store Applications. With two models (WiFi/WiFi & 3G), the iPad comes in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB versions starting at a surprisingly low price of just $499. In a way, you could somewhat compare the new Apple iPad (which starts shipping in Late March/April) to the Nintendo DSi, which also gave new purpose to its original device and making it an even more useful and casual everyday piece of technology. The computer functions of the device may still need to be expanded on though as from what we know from the information that has already been announced/revealed, it gives off the feeling of essentially being a Giant, Fancier iPod Touch than a real cross between an iPhone & a Mac. But who's to say this isn't a good start? It's already giving the eBook Reader, "Kindle" a run for its money. So Here's to the Advancement & Future of the App Store & the 3 iDevices...HOORAY!</span></span></div>TapDatApphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039660493705947477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569999824272529010.post-5576406179572496602010-01-23T22:47:00.009-05:002010-01-23T23:38:58.166-05:00Appload™ #6 - N.O.V.A., James Cameron's AVATAR, Gangstar: West Coast Hustle, & MORE!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://blogs.essence.com/theblackberrybride/iphone-apps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://blogs.essence.com/theblackberrybride/iphone-apps.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Hola...It's Time for Tap Dat Ap</span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">p</span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">™ </span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Appload #6!</span></span></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><ul><li><span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">James Cameron's Avatar</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"> by Gameloft is a game based off the hit movie.

It just brings a lot to the table and you should definitely check it out.

For one, it isn't free unlike the two previous Tap Tap games, but it also has a lot of things the other two didn't. You can make an account, gain coins for points you score, use those coins to buy backgrounds and various clothing for your account's avatar, etc. The game also includes a really nice menu & layout that is totally fresh to the series. Unfortunately, not much gameplay or theme-wise has changed about the game. Not to mention the fact that even though you already paid </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">$.99</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> to get the app in the first place, you still have to purchase some songs through DLC artist packs. There is at least 1 new free song almost every Thursday so this does make up for it slightly and there are (I believe) over 100 free songs to download from the start, although more than half of them aren't anything that great...Still, if you want to stay updated with the Tap Tap Revenge series and don't feel like paying $9.99 for EA's Rock Band app - </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">GET</span></span></b></li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Scarecrow</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> is a really fun new game by Ezone.com - </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The object of it is to 'Touch the screen to trigger an explosive and send Scarecrow skyward.

Besides the fact that it is Plus+ Network enabled, there is not much else we can say about this game besides the fact that it is only <b>$.99</b> and that you can try out the Lite version first to see if you like it or not - </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">GET</span></span></b></li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Shrek Kart </span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">is Gameloft's spin on the popular Shrek franchise through Go-Karts galore! It's easy to say that Shrek Kart is a lot like the Mario Kart series in many aspects. The graphics (even on just iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2nd Generation) are superb, the gameplay is fun although most of the power-ups and other small feature additions are repetitive and simplistic, and the character & stage choices are unlockable and variate (although we found most of the stages to lack a sense of good challenge, they are nicely detailed with art that is pleasurable to look at). Shrek Kart also has WiFi & Bluetooth Peer-to-Peer Races as an option, but no Global Online Racing option to be found. Overall, the game runs quite smoothly and provides hours of fun although it may eventually get boring or annoying due to the Menu Soundtrack...</span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">GET - **Current Sale: $.99 - Normal: $4.99**</span></span></b></li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Flying Pigs</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> by Sobits is a great game for the iPhone & iPod Touch where you control a UFO and tilt your iDevice trying to avoid running into miscellaneous obstacles such as flying pigs that can cost you the loss of a life. The longer you stay in the air, the higher you score. It's a fantastic pick-up-&-play app and we definitely recommend it! We've spoken to the developers quite a few times now through Twitter and we even won a $20 iTunes Giftcard from them by being the first to score 2000 points on the game!

You draw lines to connect globs, make them bigger & disappear, and avoid ones of opposing colors to cross paths. The game has been updated quite a few times now with multiple maps & various other 'aqua globs' added.

In this game, you destroy ants...almost anyway you want! With constant updates/episodes like Pocket God, many new features and various ways to kill ants have been added like flamethrower, freeze ray, lasers, magnifying glass, and more! There are lots of other aspects you can control in Ant Hill such as how many ants are on the screen, how many of each color there are (red and black), and how aggressive the ants are.

And it's FREE! Hoo-ray! And it really is something to get excited for. Being one of the first major online-enabled and FREE FPSes for the iPhone/iTouch, Eliminate seems to be the beginning of a brand new way to game on the iDevices while bringing a slightly familiar Halo-like essence to the App Store . Once we finally got to sit down and try it, we came to a unanimous conclusion that the game really is something special. The controls are pretty fantastic: You've got joystick like controls that help you move practically anywhere you want. Unfortunately, a couple things like tapping in the middle to zoom can get in the way, but no worries since features like these can be turned off in the options menu. Running on a 3G, the phone didn't seem like it could keep up with the game at certain points, but this too was fixed after we adjusted the Look Sensitivity Bar. You play when you have energy to earn credits which can be used to purchase upgraded armor, weapons, and miscellaneous abilities. If you run out of energy, you can either wait a couple hours to get some more and continue to play without earning credits, or purchase In-App DLC energy canisters for only $.99 - The app truly has a good sense of hardcore gameplay built-in with literally years of re-play value since every 4 player deathmatch will always be different from the last one...Plays exceptionally well over all internet connections like WiFi, 3G, or Edge - Offline practice mode also included.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">PREMIUM 5 STARS </span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">☆☆☆☆☆+</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">~~~~~TOUCH PETS DOGS~~~~~</span></span></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FOMD7J1DS_Y&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FOMD7J1DS_Y&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Since word first got out in February of this year, tons of hype has surrounded Ngmoco's "Touch Pets Dogs" as mentioned as far back as July of this Summer in our own blog. So now we finally got to sit down and take this charming Nintendogs resembling game for a spin! The fact that it is free is amazing. This app is of very high-quality and once you play it, it becomes obvious that much time & effort was put into the game's development. It's a great family-friendly game and provides a lot of simple & casual fun while still having some real in-depth features. The full game is FREE but your pet needs food so that it can have enough energy to play with you etc. You can wait every half an hour to receive more food bowls (if you even need some...) or you can buy one of the few other versions of Touch Pets Dogs available that are exactly the same as the free version but just come with more pet food from the start. In TP: D, you can unlock lots of cool clothes and toys for your pet, pick a dog out of several breeds, colors, personalities, and genders, get your dog a career/job, teach it tricks, host online playdates with friends' dogs on your Plus+ list, and sooo much more. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">PREMIUM 5 STARS </span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">☆☆☆☆☆+</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">----</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">This has been an Exclusive Pre-Global Release Look at Ngmoco's "Eliminate" & "Touch Pets Dogs" only on iPhone/iTouch by The Tap Dat App Team</span></span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">™.</span></span></i></b></span></div>TapDatApphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039660493705947477noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569999824272529010.post-66847144749462773702009-10-10T16:46:00.008-04:002009-10-10T18:38:56.853-04:00Appload™ #4 - Catcha Mouse 3, Ynth, Hi How Are You, & MORE!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Hola!

If you do a little web-searching, you can discover that Daniel Johnston is 48, grey-haired, diagnosed as Bipolar, and uncontrollably shakes. He has lived a somewhat tragic life and it is easy to see why he sadly will never be accepted by mainstream music. But I have found something very special about this game which led me to really liking Johnston's music too. The game is very trippy & definitely original. Although it is pretty easy to play-through, more levels will be added soon. I like the concept of it and the entire game just kinda moves me spiritually. Johnston's low-fi music and simple lyrics still seem to shine despite those factors. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but the music is relaxing, and thought-provoking. While playing the game, I just felt like I could tap out of reality for a little while and think about life in general. Hope I'm not sounding crazy, but if you play the game for yourself you will know what I'm talking about. Despite buying the game on the one and only day that occurred between the two $.99 sales and the fact that I had no idea who Daniel Johnston was before this app came out, I still decided to purchase the game and I really really recommend you do too. </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">GET</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"> - </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">**Current Sale: $.99 - Normal: $2.99**</span></span></b></span></li></ul><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Critter Defense! </span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">by Mojito is an innovative tower defense game where you must protect your structures from deadly bug creatures and keep your towers out of harm's way.

They have stated in interviews that they got inspiration for the game and its crazy characters from watching shows such as South Park. After the launch of Pocket God (which was not immediately a success), Allan & Dave chose a very smart marketing move by introducing new "episodes/updates", which added new features so that their customers could continue to constantly get more out of the game. Soon, Pocket God was being updated on a regular basis of every 2 weeks or so. The game started to attract a lot of attention and climbed its way up to the top of the Top 100 Paid Apps List. It reached a large peak of popularity around May during the Dinosaur Island Trilogy Updates (Episodes 15, 16, & 17). And during the summer season, it remained in the Top 10 for an extensive period of time. It was official: Pocket God was a huge hit!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">-------------------------------------------~NOW</span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">~</span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">-------------------------------------------------</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFIUOevzqErC6iy58aFJs4ve0xjuGOBfITkqWnIwgCEzXYLBYF7FDNtwS-aWaKH5SRorQijEC5F7U050YQKfVj38EVCu872DcxHkLBU7Lwn4USNdiv-L-Pa0qGyAoZi2mGlSoHbwpUKbgz/s226/icon25_zombie.png" /></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">As of September 25th, there has been 26 Episodes in total.

Shouldn't they just shut up and be grateful?...Well if you think about it, there's actually some pretty good reasons. 1. Although Bolt Creative probably receives hundreds to thousands of fan suggestions a day (whether through email, iTunes, etc.), there is a very large amount of them that are the same. Fans clearly want some of the missing basics, like clothing, genders, hut-structures or some type of house/home for the pygmy characters, etc. These requests have been made for a LONG TIME yet the duo continues to more or less do their own thing, which is good, just not necessarily what people are looking forward to seeing in the game. Not only are some fans just fed up with the fact that they aren't being listened to at all, some believe the app is actually now OVER crowded. This statement also has some validity to it, not only does Pocket God seem to take longer and longer to start-up with each update, the drop-down menu in the game is becoming pretty full and there is just too much to keep up with that simply results in slow-loading times, and other irritating results. And most importantly, a lot of people just don't feel like Pocket God is as fun as it used to be. For reasons hard to perfectly explain, some feel that the app has just lost its touch, and without regular-sim-type-life features such as clothes and homes, the game can get boring once you've had it for awhile because it doesn't seem as fun anymore to even attempt to make your pygmies tell a story or explore new combinations of deaths and gifts. Even with new episodes/updates (which has slowed down a lot to releases on a 3-4 week basis), after the new feature is played just once, the game goes back to being its regular old-self. Continuing to play the game just to achieve better scores in the mini-games isn't the same and isn't as fun because it's not really a unique experience each time. Most would agree that if Pocket God lacks anything right now, it's the fact that there is no unique experience. Since the game is done feature by feature, the way you play doesn't generate random experiences. Instead it just repeats simple actions over and over as you switch to find one that is entertaining enough. ...Pocket God now has dropped to the spot of Number 21 on the Top 100 Paid List and Number 71 on the Top 100 Grossing List, as it seems to basically continue to drop on a regular basis except for when a new update is released. So the real question is...what's next? Could this all be the beginning of the end of Pocket God? Well according to the developers, they have "about ten ideas for standalone Pocket God games." And that if any of these sequels are actually developed, the original Pocket God would still continue to receive updates...just at an EVEN SLOWER rate. Despite this all, Bolt Creative is still currently working on the next update which will be the second part of the zombie trilogy episodes and will be titled "</span></span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Good Will Haunting</span></span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">".</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';color:#000000;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">-------------------------------------------~CONCLUSION</span></span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">~</span></span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">-----------------------------------------</span></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFFFF;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">So for now, the future of Pocket God is really at an unpredictable state. For the first time in its history, we are seeing sale & popularity rates for the game go continuously down. It would seem as if Bolt Creative must now listen and reply to the fans' requests or they may not have any chance of a great recovery or revival. Future developments such as their in-construction plans to bring Pocket God to other platforms and create sequels separate from the game also seem to discourage any hope for a re-boost in original Pocket God popularity; for although these projects may seem cool, they will take away from some amount of future updates for the current available game. But knowing that Dave & Allan have proved themselves to be pretty creative people, it is still likely that they will figure out something! Not to mention that although this is the first-seen fall in Pocket God hype, the game has still done incredibly well in-total, selling literally millions of copies on the App Store and being really the first app ever to have such a huge impact on the app culture world.

Unlike all the other apps similar to this one, SnapTell actually works. Haha but seriously, we tested it on multiple items and even took pictures of the covers from semi-faraway (you take a picture of the cover of the item with this app versus the bar code) and it was STILL able to recognize and search for the product online! Not only does it work accurately, but it also provides information links to places like YouTube & Wikipedia along with cheap prices from eBay, Barnes & Noble, etc. The app has even been featured by Apple in iPhone commercials (it can be seen on the phone, but isn't one of the apps pressed and detailed on...).

Okay, so first off let me mention that I held out on this one for a long time. For quite awhile now, it has been in the Top 25 Most Paid Apps or so, but it never really seemed worth it until the latest update. But I can now sincerely say, I am happy I bought this game. The questions are tricky, clever, and well-thought out. It's a lot of fun to figure out and is nicely accommodated by charming graphics and catchy music. It's a real BLAST to hand this thing around at family parties and see people get stumped when they don't think all of their moves through thoroughly. This being said, I still hope that we will continue to see more updates as to make this game more fun for people who have already completed it and have spent enough time trying to be their own high score... For some cheap fun, I do suggest you buy (but strictly if it's on sale for $.99) </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">The Moron Test - 4 Stars </span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">☆</span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">☆☆☆</span></span></b><blockquote></blockquote></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Pick up The Moron Test from the iTunes's App Section by clicking </span></span><i><a href="http://148apps.com/app/312343159/hide"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">HERE!</span></span></span></a></i></span></div>TapDatApphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08039660493705947477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569999824272529010.post-13662965852225774262009-07-04T15:32:00.003-04:002009-07-04T15:59:47.364-04:00MUST.EAT.BIRDS. - 5 Stars<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i39.tinypic.com/256sei1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 478px;" src="http://i39.tinypic.com/256sei1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://starscenesoftware.com/images/App_Store_badge.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 186px; height: 72px;" src="http://starscenesoftware.com/images/App_Store_badge.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Now we shall review “MUST.EAT.BIRDS.” - Check It Out:</span></b></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">MUST.EAT.BIRDS. was developed by <a href="http://www.mediatonic.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><b>Mediatonic</b></span></a> for the iPhone & iTouch. MUST.EAT.BIRDS. is a really fun and charming game. Although you may have played a game like this where you slingshot something into the air before, this game still brings some unique qualities to the table and is also the best of these types of games. The app’s music is purely adorable and really made all of us here at the Tap Dat App™ Team want to get up and have a Japanese Dance Party!!! All in all, this game seriously delivers for only $.99 – you have cute graphics, fun & innovative game play (with a lot of levels, features, and assorted extras), and just simply tons of nice eye candy. The game has a very STRONG lasting appeal as you will want to whip this thing out several times amongst friends and scream out in Japanese style “MAXIMUM BAKE!” as the game does the same.
