Writepad Pro for iPhone/iPod Touch – Review

I wish I would have found this review before I spent the $10 on Writepad Pro. It looks like it could be a minature version of OneNote. I haven’t used all the features yet, and that may be a problem unto itself. I don’t think the app lives up to the pricetag and so far I have gained little if any benefit from it. It’s decent for taking notes and seeing a small preview of the topic, but the handwriting doesn’t do anything for me, it’s far too slow. I think there is a lot of potential here, but sadly this needs some more dev time. Hopefully a whole slew of updates are coming to round out the features and finish off what could really be a decent app. WritePad Pro bills itself as “the ultimate organizer for Notes, Events, Affairs, and Voice Notes for iPhone and iPod Touch,” and as that headline suggests, it covers-or tries to cover-a lot […]

The Deep Pinball $0.99 in the app store – iPhone and iPod Touch

I’m not a huge pinball fan, but I really like the way this game works. The graphics look great, the gameplay is simple and the camera angle as it follows the ball is easy to follow and very effective. I may not be a pinball wizard, but for $0.99 I saw no reason to get a copy and play a few times. You can get a really nice sense of the game in this clip from Toucharcade.

The Mummy’s Revenge $0.99 – iPhone/iPod Touch

Good graphics and easy upgrades to bigger and better weapons give this game a huge amount of potential. And with the upcoming update that should address the lag issues you have a low priced games that should give many hours of entertainment. A lot of people are comparing The Mummy’s Revenge with Zombieville, so I guess I will too. Indeed, the games are very similar; grab your weapon of choice, aim it at the undead and blast them all to hell! While Zombieville looks “cartoonish” (which gives it it’s charm), The Mummy has more rendered graphics. It’s neither a benefit or a hinderance, just a difference in how the two games look. But the gameplay is simple, but effective, shoot the mummy’s, duck into the tombs to find the scarabs, toss grenades at the evil doers who are chasing you, and then when it’s all over, go shopping for bigger and better weapons. Oh yeah, and don’t crack a smile, […]

New games for the weekend

Got some new games for the weekend. Wild Wild Trains was on sale so I grabbed that. Westbang also grabbed my attention. Finally I bought Baseball Slugger just for the heck of it. And just so I can say it’s not all about games, I downloaded the WordPress blogging tool. We’ll see how things work put with it. In fact I wrote this post with it.
