Flick Fishing is a great fishing game. For only 99 cents(right now) you can get a fishing game that has some of the most realistic qualities of actually fishing. When you open up the app, there’s 3 options, photo album, help and options or new game. The photo album shows you your trophys achievements and biggest fish of each species. The help and options allows you to change different settings, and new game allows you to either go fishing for fun, go into a tounament to catch the most weight, or go into a tournament to catch the biggest fish. You then pick what lake you want to fish at. Each lake has a target fish, and a difficulty level rating from no stars to five. To me, the harder levels just take more patience to catch a fish. After you pick a lake you choose who you want to go against, another human(I love this feature) the computer, or against someone on your network. Once you start playing you cast by flicking your iPhone, just as in any other fishing game, but you don’t have to touch anything. After that, you reel clockwise on the reel to pull the lure in, it tells you your distance of the line out at the top. You can move your iPhone, and the rod acts as a real rod would. Once you got a fish, it makes a noise, and you have to either start reeling to hook it(in case you’re in a crowd=]) or you could do the actual action of hooking a fish. Once the fish is on, you have to watch the line tension when you reel it in. If it gets too high, the line will snap, too low, and the fish will escape. The bar underneath that tells you the fish’s strength. Once you get it in you tap throw back and go back to fishing. Before you cast, you can choose the lure you want by tapping the little tackle box tab in the bottom right of the screen. Also, at anytime you can tap pause, and it pauses the game. If you get a phone call or a must read text/email, you can leave the game and then resume it later. The next time you open the app there will be an option to resume game under the new game option.A quick tip, I always cast out and then reel a little bit, if I hook a fish, then I reel it in, if I don’t in the first couple seconds I recast. Also, another way to tell if a fish is on is if you’re reel starts reeling backwards or you’re bobber goes down into the water. The backgrounds of the lakes are very cool, there’s a stormy one, a river, a lake, the ocean, and a dock type one.

Pros and Cons

-Pros
Very realistic
Quite fun
Fishing
Great quality
Uses accelerometer
I love the photo album, it’s like local highscores

-Cons
It takes up a lot of RAM, so I ussually end up having to restart after playing for like a half hour to an hour.

Overall 4.5 out of 5

Live Poker is a free online poker app. It plays only texas holdem, but you can use your facebook or myspace account to connect to friends. Everyday you play you get 1000 dollars (not real money =]). You could go out and buy the version that atomatically gives you 40,000 dollars, but that’s ten dollars. And, if you’re a good enough poker player, it’s pretty easy to get up to 40 grand from 1 grand.

Pros and Cons

-Pros

Free Poker

Stable Servers

Simple interface

Texas Hold ‘em

No bugs I’ve found

-Cons

Only has Texas Hold ‘em

Overall a 4.7 out of 5, a most definite buy!, now go get it!

Zombie Attack, the much-anticipated game that was previewed a couple of posts is here. For only 99 cents you get a somewhat of a tower defense game. You are a man who is building different towers to kill the zombies, keeping them from attacking the house in the top right corner. You move the man with the accelerometer, and there is a setting that sets the relative tilt angle. Overall it is a pretty fun game. It takes the idea of fieldrunners where you build your own pathway, which I like better than having a dictated pathway. When the circle under the man is green, which means you can build something there, when it’s red you can’t, and when it’s yellow you can upgrade a tower. There are 4 types of towers, all which can be upgraded, gun, fire, axe and cannon. The green bars tell you how much health things have. Another added difficulty is that the builder can die. But, after a little bit he re spawns, just hope the zombies don’t destroy the house by then =].

-Pros and Cons

Pros

Tower Defense Game

Build your own pathway

4 upgradeable towers

Accelerometer use of movement

Cons

Sometimes hard to control the guy

Other wise it’s pretty good. Overall it’s 3.9 out of 5. I just like fieldrunners graphics better.

Tap n Slide, only 99 cents, is a nice fun little app. The point of the game is to either tap or slide, hence the name. It uses the ability of the touchscreen to have you either tap, double tap, slide to the right, slide to the left, slide up, slide down or slide in a circle. There’s some limitations though, if you get out of the shape, you lose, also you have to do it in a certain amount of time. There’s local highscores, and pretty good music. There’s an option to turn the music off, but I like to keep it on.

Pros and Cons

-Pros
Addicting
Fast-Paced
Good use of the touch screen
-Cons
I think there should be more ways of sliding and tapping

Overall it’s a 3.5 out of 5

Apper, 99 cents, by the owner of the site theapper.wordpress.com, is an app that has a couple of what he thought were the best app reviewing sites. My site, Zym Blog is included in this list. Although at the moment the app is a little dry, all there is, is the title of a site, then when you go into it it shows like the last five posts. There’s a resync button for just the one site your looking at or all the posts. When you tap on a post in opens the post in safari, so it’s not really too integrated. I’ve contacted the developer on the app, but I think he’s going to integrate the posts. Also, Arron, the creator of RazorianFly created the icon. I don’t think the icon is the best it could be so I created my own version and asked the developer if he wanted that as the icon, Ill add the icon at the bottom of the post.

-Pros
You get some nice sites including ours:)
A nice clean interface, nothing fancy.
2.0 is going to make the app much better
-Cons
Posts aren’t integrated
Can’t add your own sites

Overall I say 4.5 out of 5

I say you should all go get it. I get none of the fund, but I use it for the other sites.
