<p>Version Reviewed: 1.1.119<br />
Developer: LogMeIn Inc. [<a title="LogMeIn Inc. Developer on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=299616804" target="_blank">iTunes Link</a>]<br />
Price as of Review: $29.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 4.5/5<br />
Size: 2.2MB</p>
<p><a title="LogMeIn Ignition iPhone Screenshot" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3513/3890894014_f63988d1a1.jpg" rel="lightbox[1168]"><img class="alignright" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="LogMeIn Ignition iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3513/3890894014_f63988d1a1.jpg" alt="LogMeIn Ignition iPhone Screenshot" width="288" height="192" /></a>LogMeIn is a utility that allows the iPhone or iPod Touch to control your PC, Mac or Linux (I believe) computer.  There are already similar applications in the app store (<a title="Mocha VNC on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284981670&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">Mocha VNC</a>, <a title="Jaadu VNC on iTunes" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=286470485&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">Jaadu VNC</a>) but LogMeIn Ignition provides a welcomed new experience.  Controlling the computer is as simple as signing up for an account and installing the Java applet.  You then just log in to your account from your iPhone/iPod Touch and select the computer you wish to control.  Like any remote/<a title="VNC on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNC" target="_blank">VNC</a> connection you should have a high speed internet connection and be prepared to sacrifice some extra features here and there on your computer.  One great thing about LogMeIn is the ability to highly customize speed optimization.</p>
<p><a title="LogMeIn Ignition iPhone Screenshot" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2428/3890892454_0cd27734bd.jpg" rel="lightbox[1168]"><img class="alignleft" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="LogMeIn Ignition iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2428/3890892454_0cd27734bd.jpg" alt="LogMeIn Ignition iPhone Screenshot" width="192" height="288" /></a>LogMeIn takes care of all the ports, IP addresses and other network jib-jab the average computer use won&#8217;t understand.  This allows you to easily access your computer from anywhere on the Internet as long as it&#8217;s turned on.  This app has excellent support for many concepts that make your computer, a computer.  A feature I&#8217;ve loved is the great support for multiple monitors.  I always run my computer setup with a widescreen and external monitor, LogMeIn allows me to view and scroll around both.</p>
<p>The interface treats your computer like an editable picture, you can pan with one finger, tap to click, and even pinch your fingers to zoom in or out.  You can choose two control methods where sliding your finger either moves the screen with a static positioned mouse, or it moves the cursor on a static position screen.  Either way you can view the entire screen in detail, as well as portrait or landscape mode (accelerometer controlled).</p>
<p>All in all LogMeIn Ignition is an amazing app that provides easy remote control to users of any technical skill.  The app has a few glitches, mainly those caused by too many attempts at optimizing speed (screen blankouts, temporary freezing).  This app is perfect for anybody who needs to quickly edit an image in Photoshop, manipulate on an FTP client, or anything else.  I&#8217;ve found lots of use for LogMeIn and I&#8217;m a very satisfied customer.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Usefulness: 9.8/10 &#8211; Accessing your computer from anywhere is something everyone wants to do.</p>
<p>User Interface: 8.7/10 &#8211; LogMeIn has a great interface with only a few glitches.  Navigating around the computer&#8217;s display is very simple.</p>
<p>Price: 6/10 &#8211; It&#8217;s competitors are cheaper but for the ease of use compared to VNC, LogMeIn has a reasonable fee.  Nonetheless $30 dollars is still expensive for an iPhone app.</p>
<p>Technology: 9.8/10 &#8211; This rating was to be expected, this app uses all the technology at hand.</p>
<p>Execution of Concept: 9.1/10 &#8211; Some additional features could be added here and there, some more optimization.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.7/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Speed optimization</li>
<li>Easy copy and paste sync (between device and computer)</li>
<li>Misc. glitch fixes</li>
<li>Audio sync! (iPhone will not play the computer&#8217;s audio)</li>
<li>Peripheral sycn (use iPhone&#8217;s camera or microphone as an audio/video source on computer)</li>
</ul>

<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2608/3872373276_5a10692548.jpg" rel="lightbox[1092]"><img class="alignright" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="X2 Football 2009 iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2608/3872373276_5a10692548.jpg" alt="X2 Football 2009 iPhone Screenshot" width="288" height="192" /></a>X2 Football 2009 is the kind of game you&#8217;d see on a system like the Playstation Portable, it&#8217;s completely 3D with amazing graphics and an excellent control scheme.  This app is a full board sports app which allows you to play soccer (or football for our British readers out there) against a computer opponent.  You&#8217;ll start by learning the controls and strategies in a training area with many different options and scenarios such as free kick and left corner.  When done you can quit training and launch tournament mode or penalty shootout.  You can also just go ahead and play a quick match with teams of your choice!</p>
<p>When creating matches you can choose starting positions and other team management abilities.  Afterwords you&#8217;ll be thrown into the playing field in a fully 3D environment.  For control there&#8217;s three side buttons for passing, sliding, shooting and other actions.  You then have a very responsive touch joystick for movement of the player.  The artificial intelligence is excellent &#8211; the computer opponents are challenging and even details such as red/yellow cards have been added.  You can tackle <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2489/3872373000_19c160eaf2.jpg" rel="lightbox[1092]"><img class="alignleft" style="border:8px solid #dddddd;" title="X2 Football 2009 iPhone Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2489/3872373000_19c160eaf2.jpg" alt="X2 Football 2009 iPhone Screenshot" width="288" height="192" /></a>other players and steal the possession of the ball.  Not to mention you have in-game replay&#8217;s which are saved and can get zoomed in, panned and rotated around and played and multiple speeds.</p>
<p>The graphics are absolutely stunning for an iPhone app and the game runs them with perfect stability.  The field is clear and all the player&#8217;s animations are perfect.  The sound effects include dynamic commentary &#8211; roaring crowds and even the swift sound of that soccer ball hitting the net.  Unfortunately there&#8217;s no accelerometer controls, nonetheless the touch control scheme is amazing, X2 Games has done an excellent job.</p>
<p>All in all X2 Football 2009 is an amazing sports game app for any fan of immersing gameplay and detailed 3D graphics.  Definitely seven bucks well spent.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 9.4/10 &#8211; It&#8217;s a complete soccer game!</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9/10 &#8211; Awesome to see something like this being so well executed on the iPhone.</p>
<p>Graphics: 9.7/10 &#8211; Probably the best in-game graphics I&#8217;ve seen.</p>
<p>Sound: 9/10 &#8211; Stunning, love the commentary.</p>
<p>Technology: 9/10 &#8211; Have I said wow yet?</p>
<p>Replay Value: 7/10 &#8211; This is the only part of our review that is not simply excellent.  Without a full tournament mode, unless you simply love soccer, you won&#8217;t play games a lot.</p>
<p>Final Rating: 8.9/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Full tournament modes</li>
<li>Multiplayer Mode</li>
</ul>

<p>Version Reviewed: 1.2<br />
Developer: Sports Director Ltd. [<a title="Sports Director Ltd. iTunes Link" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=312516267">iTunes Link</a>]<br />
Price as of Review: $5.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 3/5</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2573/3856728909_9f21fd311d.jpg" rel="lightbox[1008]"><img class="alignright" title="Manage Your Football Club Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2573/3856728909_9f21fd311d.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="288" /></a>There was a lot of hype about Manage Your Football Club when it came out &#8211; and rightly so.  This is the ultimate team managing experience for football (soccer in North America but I&#8217;ll abide by British terms) fans.  In MYFC the goal is to lead your chosen football club to victory and financial glory.  You won&#8217;t find this game is like a joystick controlled soccer game, but more so a fantasy football style theme.  The interface is huge and you&#8217;ll have to figure out how to control your team (you can control pretty much <strong>anything</strong>).</p>
<p>A single game of Manage Your Football Club can be huge, the app of course saves your progress on exit and loading it is easy.  The climax of the app is the oh-so-sweet point where you get to schedule your matches against other teams and then play them out.  The computer mostly generates the matches results by itself but you can choose formations and players as you go.  It&#8217;s a very unique, very immersing experience.  All the different options can leave you exploring the app for weeks.</p>
<p>The user interface is spectacular, without doubt the best interface I&#8217;ve seen on an iPhone game &#8211; the menus are easily navigated and everything just looks beautiful.  It adds a click sound to every button (something I&#8217;ve always thought the iPhone should have everywhere) and the new pages load fast.  So many different user interface elements have been added and customized to fit the theme.</p>
<p>All in all, Manage Your Football Club is a great app for any football/soccer fan.  The only frustrating thing about it is the lack of a tutorial &#8211; although there&#8217;s a small info button for each new page.  With the amount of time that you&#8217;ll be playing, $5.99 is a great price, this is truly an development gem.  We extend a huge tip of our hats to Sports Director Ltd. for this great app.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 9.8/10 &#8211; There&#8217;s so much to do, it&#8217;s really quite insane.  The ultimate &#8220;fantasy football,&#8221; type experience.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 8.2/10 &#8211; Once you&#8217;ve figured everything out you&#8217;ll enjoy it quite a bit, unfortunately it can take a bit of time to get to that point.</p>
<p>Graphics: 9.2/10 &#8211; One of the best user interfaces I&#8217;ve ever seen &#8211; without doubt the best one I&#8217;ve seen on a game.  All the graphics are excellently rendered.</p>
<p>Sound: 7/10 &#8211; Unfortunately there aren&#8217;t many sound effects.</p>
<p>Technology: 9/10 &#8211; The touch controls are very responsive, stability is great, and they&#8217;ve taken the iPhone user interface to the extreme.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 9.2/10 &#8211; There&#8217;s so much to do and a single game could last for weeks.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.8/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>A tutorial is <em>needed</em></li>
<li>Bluetooth or wi-fi multiplayer would be awesome.</li>
</ul>

<p>Version Reviewed: 1.00.00<br />
Developer: Handmark Inc<br />
Price as of Review: $4.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 3.5/5<br />
Lite Version: [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=319964712&amp;mt=8">iTunes Link</a>]</p>
<p><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3520/3853419782_cc7bddee2b.jpg" rel="lightbox[994]"><img class="alignright" title="Phaze Screenshots" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3520/3853419782_cc7bddee2b.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Phaze is [*sigh* yes, another one] racing game, yet probably one of the most addicting ones I&#8217;ve ever played on the iPhone.  The setting is different than most, we take a step into the future, racing with jet powered hover cars going at high speeds.  The game requires great reflex skills as all the tracks have bends and turns &#8211; failure to dodge these will result in loss of health.  Once you run out of health your vehicle will explode and you&#8217;ll definitely fall behind.</p>
<p>Phaze has several different maps and tons of vehicles &#8211; each with their own statistics, unfortunately you aren&#8217;t able to customize or buy additional parts for any of them.  Either way though there&#8217;s so many new things to unlock, you can play this game for days (trust me, it&#8217;s pretty darn addicting).  You can play in quick play mode to practice and beat your lap times or you can test your skills (and unlock new vehicles/maps) by playing Championship mode.  On four different difficulty levels the competition can get fierce, always dropping bombs and launching missiles.</p>
<p>The user interface is a simple menu, absolutely nothing fancy, just allows you to get into the game.  Although something like a cover flow mode to browse through available vehicles would be cool.  The controls are all based on the accelerometer, no touch controls are available.  Luckily you can calibrate and set the sensitivity of the accelerometer to your personal needs.  There are some unfortunate glitches and annoyances, in earlier versions even some stability issues.  Most have been fixed and you just need to figure out a comfortable spot to play.  The graphics set the perfect theme and don&#8217;t wear down the app&#8217;s performance; the sound is just as good.</p>
<p>All in all Phaze is a phenomenal racing game, probably the most addicting racing game I&#8217;ve played on the iPhone.  After getting past a few annoyances, $4.99 is a great price and all racing lovers should pick this one up.  Bravo, Handmark Inc.</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8.9/10 &#8211; Great racing Artificial Intelligence, power-ups during racing, and to top it off &#8211; unlockable vehicles and maps</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9.5/10 &#8211; Absolutely &#8211; could hardly put it down.</p>
<p>Graphics: 8/10  &#8211; Double S &#8211; Suitable and Satisfactory</p>
<p>Sound: 8.1/10 &#8211; Bursting sound effects that enhance the racing experience.</p>
<p>Technology: 6.5/10  &#8211; A lot of annoyances, able to set accelerometers sensitivity but the relative angle has some serious problems.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 9.8/10 &#8211; Seriously addicting and for bonuses you can go through all the championships on four difficulty levels.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.5/10</p>

<p>Version Reviewed: 1.2<br />
Developer: FDG Entertainment<br />
Price as of Review: $0.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 3.5/5<br />
Lite Version: [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=324287321&amp;mt=8">iTunes Link</a>]</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2659/3846439033_d4d5462d31.jpg" rel="lightbox[973]"><img class="alignright" title="Kryzer Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2659/3846439033_d4d5462d31.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Kryzer is a full blown 360 degree arcade game in which you control a spaceship fighting against enemy entities.  Although this isn&#8217;t a remake of any classic game, Kryzer really brings back the old arcade gaming experience.  The object of the game is to hunt down enemies by shooting at them, all you have to do is control your proximity to and from the inner circle.  Seem easy?  Bring it on; you&#8217;ll need some awesome reflexes to get in the high scores on this bad boy.  The game will continue to speed up (and change colour to notify you) and more enemies of different types will appear.  Every level you&#8217;ll also get a snake boss which can be a tricky thing to beat.</p>
<p>Due to the repetitiveness of the game, a few users might quickly forget about Kryzer and move on, the other 95% of it&#8217;s audience, will put it on the first page of their iPhone and be immensely addicted to it.   With it&#8217;s smooth and sleek graphics and very stable gameplay, you&#8217;ll be quite addicted.  I&#8217;ve found it to be the perfect pick up and play game, even though a game could very well last for hours (ok you&#8217;d have to be pretty good), the average game would be around 10 minutes, you can exit the app at any time and then pick it back up at any time with your progress saved.</p>
<p>The sound effects really move along our arcade paradigm we&#8217;ve got going here, they can get slightly annoying like most arcade game&#8217;s sound.  However the gameplay will really overcompensate and create a delightful ambiance for your addicted mind.  I really haven&#8217;t found anything I don&#8217;t like about this app.  Maybe a storyline or additions to the app throughout the game would be nice, and that&#8217;s really what stopping from getting this classic a 10/10.</p>
<p>So if you&#8217;re an arcade freak or just like a good addicting game, pick Kryzer up.  For a mere dollar this is one of the best values I&#8217;ve seen.  If you&#8217;re not sure about it, there is a lite version.  Enjoy!</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8.2/10 &#8211; Simple but immensely immersive.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9.5/10 &#8211; There was a point where this was definitely my favourite app.</p>
<p>Graphics: 8/10 &#8211; With any app, they could be better; I really like the style of Radial 50 with the cool background graphics.  Maybe Kryzer could implement this.</p>
<p>Sound: 7/10 &#8211; It&#8217;s an arcade game &#8211; not good not bad.  Really adds to the gameplay though.</p>
<p>Technology: 8/10 &#8211; Even though it just uses two touch buttons to control it, it&#8217;s the stability and sleek user interface that brings this rating up.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 9.7/10 &#8211; This is one of the most addicting apps I&#8217;ve played since Trism or Phaze.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.9<br />
Note the average rating is actually 8.4 but we&#8217;ve given it a half bonus point cause it deserves it.</p>
<p>Further Improvements: (Note to the developer!)</p>
<ul>
<li>Different sound effects</li>
<li>Better backgrounds then just the plain ones now</li>
<li>Storyline or some reward to get throughout the game</li>
</ul>

<p>Version Reviewed: 1.02<br />
Developer: Roundthird Interactive LLC<br />
Price as of Review: $1.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 4/5<br />
Size: 37.0MB<br />
Lite Version: [<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=318873570&amp;mt=8">iTunes Link</a>]</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2430/3842680343_d7a6cd943f.jpg" rel="lightbox[926]"><img class="alignright" style="border:3px solid #cccccc;" title="Radial 50 Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2430/3842680343_d7a6cd943f.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Radial 50 is a revolutionary breakout game with astounding gameplay and and an awesome theme.  The goal, like any breakout game, is to knock out as many bricks as possible without losing lives.  Radial 50 adds a spectacular twist, you&#8217;ll control your paddle in a circle, 360 degrees.  The graphics are spectacular, each level with a new and refreshing background; the rest of the area is very vibrant and the particle effects are superb.  Even the user interface looks smooth, Roundthird Interactive must&#8217;ve done some vigorous work on this app.</p>
<p>You start with five lives (which will regenerate slowly) throughout each level, make sure that if you lose one that you get your paddle over to the ball quickly.  Due to the 360 degree nature, and the very small amount of clearance between the bricks and rim, once you&#8217;ve missed once with the paddle, you&#8217;re likely to lose quite a few lives.  The way the game area is setup makes for a challenging play session.  However there&#8217;s multiple power-up&#8217;s (and down&#8217;s) to guide you along the way.  My tip for making major points?  Try and get the Particle Magnet and Explode Target power-up&#8217;s together.</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2488/3842680679_636019f97b.jpg" rel="lightbox[926]"><img class="alignleft" style="border:3px solid #cccccc;" title="Radial 50 Screenshot 2" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2488/3842680679_636019f97b.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>The touch control scheme very responsive except for a very high annoyance, even though the paddle goes around in a circle, you can only slide your finger vertically to control it, may people will try and slide their finger with a curve; this can cause some serious first-play problems.  Unfortunately no accelerometer controls (how about tilting your iPhone to move particles?).  Luckily Radial 50 makes up for that with awesome stability and little to no glitches.</p>
<p>All in all, Radial 50 is the best breakout game I&#8217;ve played on the iPhone, and probably in my top 25 favourite iPhone games. If you like breakout games, addicting &#8220;just-one-more-round,&#8221; or just love great games, $1.99 is a great price.  Enjoy!</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8.9/10 &#8211; Lots of different powerups and a really addicting, creative gameplay.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9.5/10 &#8211; Definitely o of my top 25 most enjoyed apps <img src='http://www.iphoneappreviewer.com/wp-content/plugins/tango-smileys-extended/tango/razz.png' alt='Razz' class='tse-smiley' /></p>
<p>Graphics: 9.2/10  &#8211; Extremely creative and awesome to play on, no level is boring with this.</p>
<p>Sound: 8.5/10 &#8211; Crystal clear sound effects, no trouble playing iPod music.</p>
<p>Technology: 9/10 &#8211; Quite a few settings, awesome stability, geotargeted global high score boards, ability to post score to Twitter and Facebook.  Just a few control annoyances that stop this from getting a perfect 10.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 9.5/10 &#8211; 50 different levels and even achievements, several different leaderboards; lots of motivation to play this.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 9.1/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Two player mode!</li>
<li>Difficulty settings</li>
<li>Accelerometer controls</li>
</ul>

<p><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3491/3841486408_8c3dbb3de2.jpg" rel="lightbox[903]"><img class="alignright" title="Metal Gear Solid Touch Screenshot" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3491/3841486408_8c3dbb3de2.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Yes, we were all excited when the game that was on pretty much all upscale platforms hit the iPhone and iPod Touch.  Hell, we still are; the people who&#8217;ve gotten their hands on this jewel have not been disappointed either.  For those of you who haven&#8217;t heard of it, Metal Gear Solid Touch is a railgun shooter where you control our hero Snake across battlefields (less across, more so hiding behind walls) shooting and sniping out enemies.  To continue fan warship, as you go about the 20 different missions you&#8217;ll unlock 50 wallpapers to put on your iPhone or iPod Touch.  Nothing says addict more than wallpapers.</p>
<p>The gameplay involves aiming and firing with your finger, tap to shoot, release to hide.  Snake will always &#8220;cower,&#8221; behind enemy gunfire on command (although who wouldn&#8217;t, he&#8217;s shooting at freaking armoured, walking, robots).  Failure to hide will result in a swift sniper shot or machine gun round to your face, even swifter are the rate of decreasing health.  Luckily you can take cover and gain health.  This may make the gameplay seem boring but trust me, after going through a few different missions, hiding only results in more enemies hiding &#8211; you have to take out a certain amount to complete the mission.  Once they&#8217;re all piled up for ya, just look up to shoot and watch your <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3435/3841486600_1ab259ef10.jpg" rel="lightbox[903]"><img class="alignleft" title="Metal Gear Solid Touch Screenshot 2" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3435/3841486600_1ab259ef10.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>back.  If there were blood effects, there would be a lot (hey! Konami!   Where&#8217;s the blood, surely Snake is human?).</p>
<p>About the graphics, oh man; absolutely stunning.  Nothing beats the crisp gunfire animations, and of course the satisfying sound of a bullet to the head.  The only thing that brings this game down is the lack of actual movement, if only Snake had controllable legs.  Even just horizontal movement to dodge bullets would be nice (ok maybe that&#8217;s too much, I mean Snake isn&#8217;t <em>Neo</em>).  Now that the iPhone 3.0 firmware has been released, it&#8217;d be nice to see a bluetooth multiplayer mode &#8211; that would be freaking awesome.  All in all &#8211; if you enjoy great graphics and addicting gameplay, and of course sniping bad guys, pick this up immediately.  $6.99 might be a little steep considering there&#8217;s no freeplay mode but maybe we&#8217;ll get some updates!</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 8.7/10 &#8211; A railshooter style FPS is generally limited but Konami does a great job.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9.5/10 &#8211; Loved it.</p>
<p>Graphics: 9.5/10 &#8211; Definitely some of the best I&#8217;ve seen on the iPhone.</p>
<p>Sound: 8.8/10 &#8211; Could be more of a variety of sound effects, but the one&#8217;s it has are pretty awesome.</p>
<p>Technology: 7.5/10 &#8211; Great stability but unfortunately only touch control.  FPS&#8217; should have some accelerometer action&#8230;</p>
<p>Replay Value: 8.2/10 &#8211; A great pick up and play style game, but only 20 missions.</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 8.7/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements: (Note to the developer!)</p>
<ul>
<li>Bluetooth/Wi-Fi multiplayer mode</li>
<li>Create an ambiance with sound!</li>
<li>More missions of course</li>
<li>Ability to buy weapons</li>
</ul>

<p>Our Rating: 9/10 &#8211; Thumbs Up! [<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iphoneappreviewer/tags/wackyworldsminigolf/">Screenshots</a>]</p>
<p>Version Reviewed: 1.0<br />
Developer: Glu Mobile Inc.<br />
Price as of Review: $2.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 4.5/5</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2637/3821836793_254e24fab7.jpg" rel="lightbox[807]"><img class="alignright" title="Wacky Worlds Mini Golf Screenshot by iPhone App Reviewer" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2637/3821836793_254e24fab7.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Okay, so Wacky Worlds Mini Golf. Intriguing game that takes your average mini golf to a whole new level. With stunning graphics (for an iPhone at least) that are eye catching and a control system that is simple and captivating this game will keep you entertained for hours on end without you even knowing it. The simple yet amazingly effective touch controls allow you to control every aspect of your putting, to a tee (lets see how many people will get the golf puns).</p>
<p>Lets talk fun here. This game is fun, for someone who loves golf or someone who doesn’t even play golf. It’s got awesome little animations that keep you intrigued and some very cool holes along the courses. The best part is after 9 awesome holes on some of the coolest and most captivating digital courses you’ve ever seen, you’ll just want more.</p>
<p>My one and only problem with this app, and trust me its not something to worry about, is that every time you start it up it asks you what language you want to play in. Now this is awesome for people who can speak any of the other languages offered (assuming that the majority of players will be speaking English), but for those who don’t, there should be an option to save your choice..</p>
<p><strong>How to shoot par next round: (Further Improvements)<br />
</strong></p>
<p>-Make it so you can save your language<br />
-When you choose just to play is defaults as the woman (and I&#8217;m not sexist) but the ability to choose or create your own character from there would be a cool idea</p>
<p>This apps to good to point out whats wrong with it&#8230;</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 9.5/10 – Total awesomesauce, addicting, fun, I love it</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9.9/10 – I still keep coming back, totally beats any game I’ve played</p>
<p>Graphics: 8.9/10 – Great graphics, simple, looks amazing</p>
<p>Sound: 9/10 – I can turn it off, I’m happy (not that the music is bad)</p>
<p>Technology: 6/10 – All touch based, but this doesn’t affect my over all rating</p>
<p>Replay Value: 9.9/10 – Love it, I play AT LEAST daily</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 9/10</p>
<p>That’s all from me for today,</p>

<p>Our Rating: 9.1/10 [<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iphoneappreviewer/tags/nfsu/">Screenshots</a>]</p>
<p>Version Reviewed: 1.2<br />
Developer: Electronic Arts<br />
Price as of Review: $6.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 4.5/5</p>
<p><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3526/3796521325_c952254d74.jpg" rel="lightbox[652]"><img class="alignright" title="Need for Speed Underground Review Screenshot" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3526/3796521325_c952254d74.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></a>Need for Speed Undercover is a racing game concocted by one of video gaming legend&#8217;s, Electronic Arts.  Although this is probably one of fifty racing games on the iPhone, iPhone App Reviewer could not resist reviewing it.  It&#8217;s outstanding graphics and gameplay make it shatter the competition.  With multiple gameplay modes and enough storyline and challenges to let you play for days, Need for Speed Underground is an addicting pleasure.  Not only are the graphics outstanding, but there&#8217;s tons of cars and maps to choose from, and all cars have a certain level of customization.</p>
<p>Although I could stop the review right here, there&#8217;s more to go.  The graphics are entirely 3D, even the menu has a 3D model car (your current tricked out ride) in the background.  Unfortunately the graphics and high detail considerably affect stability, specifically on loading the game.  Before version 1.2, you&#8217;d generally have to try quite a few times just to get the app started (even after fresh restart).</p>
<p>Once you get playing it shouldn&#8217;t be a problem, except for the unfortunate parts where you&#8217;re facing off against multiple cars at very high speeds.  Even with the customizable cars, the game lacks settings, I&#8217;ve yet to see a racing game with customizable environment settings such as friction, drift ease, wind resistance and so on.  Not to mention that there&#8217;s only a few basic car customizations.  After that, just appearance.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a single player racing game that will last for hours on end, look absolutely no further.  Unfortunately, iPhone App Reviewer has found a few down falls to an otherwise perfect racing game, just scraping it away from that perfect 10 rating.  Maybe later they&#8217;ll add more maps and multiplayer modes&#8230;perhaps&#8230; (EA has a history for not updating their games features much).</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Gameplay: 9.2/10  &#8211; Everyone loves a good racing game, Need for Speed Underground has multiple gameplay modes and an awesome amount of maps.</p>
<p>Enjoyment: 9.8/10 &#8211; Without doubt it&#8217;s in the top 10 games on iPhone App Reviewer&#8217;s list.</p>
<p>Graphics: 9.5/10 &#8211; Just at the level where it won&#8217;t slow down the game entirely, perfectly detailed and high res.  Just anti alias a little more.</p>
<p>Sound: 8.5/10 &#8211; Love the sound track, unfortunately it can be a bit distracting and not of a majority of the users taste.</p>
<p>Technology: 8.5/10 &#8211; Just improve performance a tad, luckily the 1.2 update fixed several errors&#8230;keep it up Electronic Arts.</p>
<p>Replay Value: 9/10 &#8211; A huge storyline mode that as mentioned above, will leave lots to play.</p>
<p>Final Rating: 9.1/10</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Multiplayer Mode</li>
<li>Environment Settings</li>
<li>Performance Enhancement</li>
</ul>

<p>Why does iPhone App Reviewer link to other reviewing sites?  Because if you&#8217;re not 100% satisfied with the quality of our review, then we encourage you to go elsewhere.  The point of iPhone App Reviewer is to give you an honest, open opinion of the application.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=288442887&amp;mt=8">Numerus: An amazing scientific calculator right on your iPhone</a></p>
<p>Version Reviewed: 1.0.1<br />
Developer: Balazs Faludi<br />
Price as of Review: $1.99<br />
Current iTunes Rating: 4.5/5</p>
<p><a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2348/3622974845_ffe2131112.jpg?v=0"><img class="alignright" title="Numerus Screenshot" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2348/3622974845_ffe2131112.jpg?v=0" alt="" width="192" height="288" /></a>Numerus is exactly the app we need on the iPhone, it&#8217;s the best utility application I have ever used (and I use it almost every day).  Although the iPhone has a calculator it&#8217;s features are limited and even in landscape mode it doesn&#8217;t compare to a real scientific calculator.  Numerus can handle advanced equations and packs a large variety of features and functions in it&#8217;s small package.  The app allows you to save all your previous calculations as well as email them.  You can store variable data and call them in all the mathematical functions it provides (just look at the screenshots <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/iphoneappreviewer/tags/numerus/">here</a>).  It&#8217;s highly stable and the calculations are always correct, I haven&#8217;t found a flaw in any of the functions, and have never had a crashing issue or glitches.</p>
<p>The user interface performs just like a real calculator, and there&#8217;s plenty of room to view your calculation, not to mention a great advantage of Numerus&#8217; view area is that you can compute large numbers (over 10 digits) with ease.  It provides a 2nd function button which unlocks a whole host of new abilities.  Unfortunately it cannot rotate into landscape mode, a lot of people I&#8217;ve demoed the app to have noted and disliked the lack of mulitple viewing angles.  Even if you&#8217;re not going to use advanced functions Numerus still beats the iPhone&#8217;s default calculator by far, it allows you do to long calculations with brackets, exponenents, and all standard operations (*/+-).</p>
<p>All in all Numerus is a great application to have on hand and should be on every student&#8217;s iPhone.  I won&#8217;t leave to school without it!</p>
<p>Final Ratings:</p>
<p>Usefulness: 9.6/10 &#8211; The perfect scientific calculator, a few more feautres like graphing and it could replace an entire set of non-iPhone mathematical tools.</p>
<p>User Interface: 8/10 &#8211; Flawless but unfortunately does not have a landscape mode!</p>
<p>Price: 8/10 &#8211; Absolutely cannot argue with the two dollar price, obviously beats a real scientific calculators cost too</p>
<p>Technology: 8.5/10 &#8211; I haven&#8217;t experienced a single glitch or mathematical flaw, again though, no landscape mode.</p>
<p>Execution of Concept: 9.8/10 &#8211; You couldn&#8217;t expect any more from the developer, it&#8217;s an absolute programming masterpiece</p>
<p>Overall Rating: 9.3/10 &#8211; Average is 8.8 but I&#8217;m giving a 0.5 bonus point!</p>
<p>Further Improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Landscape Mode</li>
<li>Quick access feature allowing simple quick equations</li>
<li>Expression/Equation simplyfing ability</li>
</ul>
