Spanish Armada – iPhone App Review
Spanish Armada ($1.99) Version –1.1 REVIEW – “A great old classic brought to life!” I remember when I was little playing battleship with my brothers and sisters. The game has been a classic board game for decades. It was even more exciting when they released electronic games that had sound effects and that kept track of hits and misses! Well today I’m happy to be giving away a promo code for a battleship-like game called Spanish Armada by Orient Maple! So stick around for the end of this review where I’ll be giving you information on how you can enter to win! If you’ve never played a game like this before the basic concept is that each player hides 5 ships somewhere on their grid? Once both players have hidden all their ships you then take turns selecting squares on your opponents grid to attack! This game breaks up the action with a couple of different ways to play as well. In the options menu you’ll find the option to select “Volley Shot” or “Salvo Shot” mode. In volley shot you take turns shooting until you miss. What this means is if you strike on of your opponents ships then you get to go again until you miss! While on the other hand, salvo shot gives each player the same amount of shots that they have ships left.
Full StoryiOverTheNet – iPhone App Review
iOverTheNet ($1.99) Version – 1.1.1 REVIEW – “Fast paced volleyball action on your mobile device!” There are tons of apps available in Apple’s App Store, but unfortunately it’s not always that easy to find a game that feels new and is a lot of fun, but this game does just that! While there have been lots of sports games in the App Store, there have been very few volleyball games. This game takes you right into the action as you travel the world competing in beach volleyball! The game loads quickly and takes you to a main menu screen. The background music here is descent, typical upbeat sports music. It does get a little old after a while, but is also easy to turn off by either putting your device on vibrate or by turning it off in the “Setup” menu. There are a couple of other options available here like the ability to change the camera view and your player name. One thing that I think a lot of people will notice quickly is that there is only one difficulty setting. The reason that I think people will notice it is that this game is very difficult when you first start playing it. I would highly recommend that everyone check out the tutorial video that is available because it does a good job of visually illustrating how the controls work. Without the video it is definitely not easy to figure out. Once you are ready to get started there are two modes of play. “Single Game,” and “World Tour.” In the single game mode you get to choose a city to play in and your opponent, while in the world tour you will play several games, moving from place to place and playing different opponents. You’ll notice that there are quite a few teams to choose from and even more destinations to play at.
Full StoryCryptoPix – iPhone App Review
CryptoPix ($0.99) Version – 1.0 REVIEW – “Have fun sending cool messages to your friends!” I love cryptograms and so when I saw this app I knew it was one that I needed to try out! CryptoPix is an app that will take any text that you type and create a cryptogram from it. What is a cryptogram? A cryptogram is a series of pictures, math references and letters that spell out a phrase. Sometimes you have to think out of the box to figure out what they’re saying though! Whether you’re wanting to send a cheesy love message, or just funny messages to friends this app can be a lot of fun! I’ll say this up front, while you are able to text these messages directly to friends, the pictures will not show up in the actual text message. Instead it will send them a link to go to where they will find their message! This is just fine if the person you are sending them to has a smartphone and can check it out right there, but a lot of people just have regular cell phones so this won’t do them any good unless they’re sitting in front of a computer. With that said this app is a lot of fun, and you can also choose to send the messages just to their email! When you open up CryptoPix the main screen has a text box at the top where you will type the message you want to send. If you’re not very creative they’ve also supplied some “Sample Messages” to choose from using a select box below the message box.

Full StoryZombieHunter [7DA] – iPhone App Review
ZombieHunter 7DA ($0.99) Version – 2.1.2 REVIEW – “Nonstop action and excitement with zombies!” There are a lot of big developers out there releasing high quality 3D content inside iPhone and iPod Touch apps and games. Well ZombieHunter 7DA is an excellent 3D game created by a small company and the result is amazing! Not only are the graphics inscredible, the game play is creative, fast-paced and deep! When you open up ZombieHunter the first thing you see is a short little movie and then an opening splash screen. Once you touch the screen you’ll be taken directly to the main menu. The menu is very visually pleasing and is extremely simple. There are four different buttons that allow you to start a game in “History” mode or in “Survival” mode, as well as an Options button and a High score list. Once you are ready to play all you have to do is select which game mode to start. In “History” mode you’ll have various different objectives and a storyline as you kill zombies. In “Survival” mode the basic idea is that you see how long you can last before the zombies can overtake you! It is important before you get started that you head to the “Options” menu though and set everything up the way that you want it. Something that I would definitely recommend is that you start this game on the “Easy” difficulty setting the first time. The controls take a little getting used to. I know what you’re thinking, “aren’t the controls kind of a make or break deal?” Well usually that would be the case, but in this situation it’s just a different case! The reason is that the controls are only a little difficult because it uses a kind of “dual-stick” method that I’ve not ever see in any other iPhone/iPod Touch games to this point.
