Enigmo Game Review for iPhone and iPod Touch

by manatee on July 27, 2008


Stuff.tv reviews Enigmo, a game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Currently, this is the #9 best seller in the iTunes App Store.  Enigmo is a puzzle game that uses the multi touch technology of the iPhone.  This means you can play the game more discreetly - compared to games where you might be waving your iPhone or iPod touch around due to games using the accelerometer.  In this game, you direct water around into little buckets, soak them up with a sponge, etc.  Well, that probably doesn’t make sense, so just watch the video for a better idea.  Enigmo is available for $9.99.

iPhone 3G First Impressions

by manatee on July 27, 2008

Well, I am finally “cool” as I am now the proud owner of an Apple iPhone 3G.  So far, without a doubt I can definitely say you should buy one of these - even if you’re still stuck in a contract with some cheesy old school cell phone.  I’ll explain how you can get out of that a little later.

I will admit that I’ve been in the stone age with my cell phone as I was using one of those Go Phones - a Nokia 6300 which I seem to have lost.  So… jumping from that kind of phone to the iPhone probably excites me more than the average person.

One of my favorite features is the use of GPS with Google Maps.  This is going to be so useful in so many situations.  You’re out on the town and you want to go out to eat.  Just open Google Maps, pinpoint where you’re at and search for the words “mexican” or “chinese” to find the nearest restaurant of that type.  You can also get turn by turn driving directions, showing your location in real time.

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Cart 3D Review

by manatee on July 24, 2008


Chris Pirillo reviews Crash Bandicoot Nitro Cart 3D for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This game costs $9.99 and was developed by Vivendi Games Mobile.  You can adjust the accelerometer sensitivity in case you are over steering.  This app can be played in multiple languages - English, French, Italian or German.  Right away this looks a bit like a clone of Nintendo’s Mario Kart.  The game still needs to be optimized a bit, but is still worth ten bucks.  Read his full review here.

Super Monkey Ball Review

by manatee on July 18, 2008


Juz1093 reviews Super Monkey Ball, a game available for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch running iPhone 2.0. Overall, this is a good game, but the camera angles can screw you up at times. You hold your iPhone or iPod Touch at a slight angle to be in the neutral position. To move, tilt iPhone forward. The graphics are good, but they need to spend more time improving the look of the monkey in the ball. This may be tough to play if you are riding on a bumpy bus or train.
