Name of App: Super Monkey Ball

Price: $9.99

Compatibility to iPhone/iPod Touch: Both

Your own personal description of this App: An adventure game where you guide the monkey ball to its goal !

Pros:

One of the amazing game which has the most beautiful and stunning graphics. By comparing to Crash Kart, Asphalt, Cro-Mag Rally and many other games' graphics, this game's graphics is way better. As Sega had said they actually had to scale up the graphics in order to match the iPhone's graphics capability.

It looks very simple to manage the Monkey Ball but its actually very challenging. It takes some time for users to cope up with its sensitivity which cannot be configured according to users' preferences. Having 110 stages in the it,iIt is good when you find that a $9.99 game wont be so easy to be completed in a short time but you'll get annoyed when you find the last level very difficult to complete.

Cons:

A challenging game but doesnt last long. After completing the game, you will find it meaningless to play all the way back from the beginning.

It saves your game only when you complete one mode(easy/hard mode of 5 worlds) which consists of 10 stages. As if you reach the 9th stage and failed to proceed to the last stage in that mode, you need to play all the way back from the 1st stage of that particular mode when you play next time.

Lack of playing iPod while running Super Monkey Ball, but I personally think that this isnt a big deal.

Personal User Rating: 8.5/10

Conclusion:

I would like to say that this game is worth the $9.99. Super Monkey Ball is indeed a great game to kill time, while it also has amazing graphics to entertain you as well. Undoubtedly it is a game which I highly recommend. As I mention above, although it isnt a perfect game that matches everyone's needs, it is still a wonderful game that will bring joy to everyone. I hope those who have purchased and those who will purchase enjoy Super Monkey Ball.

Screenshots:









The last two images is the last level of Super Monkey Ball. When you reach this level, it is believed that you have already get used to the game's controls. But there is still some difficulty for you to complete this stage, as there are narrow slopes as well as funny curves for you to get to the opposite side.

Good luck to everyone who purchase Super Monkey Ball

Name of App: Critter Crunch

Price: $7.99

Compatibility to iPhone/iPod Touch: Both

Your own personal description of this App: A beautiful puzzle game for all iPhone users ! Xp

Pros:

It is said as one of the best launch games in the App Store. It is actually a game which is very similar to Tetris and Bejeweled 2. It comprises of 4 playing modes, which are the Adventure Mode, Puzzle Mode, Time Trial Mode and Survival Mode, which is a tremendous amount of content for all iPhone users to enjoy ! You'll get addicted to it once you start playing this game. With its beautiful graphics (better than Crash Kart, less zig zag pixels) and a super easy gaming way, it is definitely a must buy game for everyone.

It has 40 levels in the adventure mode and you'll get to unlock the other 3 later on. This is a game where you feed smaller critters into larger ones and watch them pop. The longer your chain and the greater your bonus, the larger jewel you get. It is an extremely amazing game with intuitive controls with cute critters !

It consists of 4 modes, which has a long lasting game for iPhone users to enjoy. In addition to that, the puzzle mode is pretty challenging, and also helps users in training their mind as well ! You can go back and play over and over again even after you finish completing it. Worth it right ?

Cons:

The inability to play iPod while running the game. No big deal tho.

It used to be a little unstable in its initial version, as it crashes once you have a long time playing it. But this has been fixed in latest version of Critter Crunch. No longer a con ehhh ?

Personal User Rating: 9/10

Conclusion:

A must buy game for every iPhone users ! LOL
Go and grab it fast and you cant stop playing ! Wuuuuuuuhah

Name of App: Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D

Price: $9.99

Compatibility to iPhone/iPod Touch: Both

Your own personal description of this App: An animation racing game for everyone !

Pros:

A game which has been released a long time ago on the Nintendo platform. There are story mode and cup mode for you to enjoy. While racing, you can get items to shoot your leading opponents and beat them. The game is pretty easy and can be completed in hours.

Cons:

Crash Kart is regarded as a wonderful game before many other nice games were released. Its graphics are pretty amazing, but it no longer looks outstanding if compared to other better quality games such as Monkey Ball, Critter Crunch, Spore, Texas Hold'em, etc. I can say that the screenshots looks slightly better than the real graphics displayed on the iPhone. It is quite obvious that there are many zig zags hence the graphics cannot be rated as one the game that has the best graphics in the App Store.

Although it is pretty good in releasing memory, I personally think that this game is kinda unstable, as in-game crashes always occur. Otherwise, it lags a little and the player's movement and controls dont seem to be as responsive as usual. Hopefully this doesnt not happen to every user who purchases Crash Kart, or Vivendi really need to fix this issue in the distant future.

Personal User Rating: 6/10

Conclusion:

Crash Kart s one of the many options among the few racing games. It is also a fun game for users to enjoy but it is not a game that could last long. After completing it, you wont go back to play it again. At least I personally, think so. Hopefully those who love this game dont feel offended.

You lahh.

I'll post many more reviews soon,

as long as I find any nice apps or games.

Your own personal description of this App: A simple and amazing to do app.

Pros:

A very useful app in managing your to do list. With its simple and easy to use interface, you will find it extremely easy to jot down all of your upcoming tasks in this app. As you can see in the screenshot, there are several categories in organizing your to do lists. In your new to do list, you will be able to write down some notes and set a due date as a reminder as well. Apart from that, you can also move your task to different categories according to your preferences on the fly. It is just as easy as jotting down some stuff in your notes application.

The latest version gives you the ability to enable icon badge. You can still go back and recall your tasks which has already been completed in your logbook. This may not be necessary and may not be useful for everyone, but it is a good thing if you really cant recall something that you want to. Once you task is completed, it will automatically move the completed task to your logbook.

Cons:

Although you can set due dates for your task, alarm feature is not implemented in the app as it mentioned in their homepage that this feature is not currently existing in Apple SDK.

It turns out to be a little laggy for that <1 second when you have too many details in the particular task.
No big deal, isnt it ?

Slightly high price, but I think its worth since its a forever app to be used.
Moreover, updates will get this app better and better.


Personal User Rating: 9/10

Conclusion:

Always forgetting your upcoming task ? Need an app to help you in organizing your to-do lists in life?
Get your hands on this app asap !
