Accessible, Quirky Cartoon Puzzler to Rule the Roost on iPhone and iPod touch.
Renowned games publisher, Clickgamer, has announced the distinctive new action-puzzle game, Angry Birds, for iPhone and iPod touch. Developed by the award-winning Rovio Mobile, Angry Birds puts players in control of a flock of avian assassins. These angry birds are desperate to reclaim their eggs from some pesky thieving pigs.
At the beginning of each Angry Birds game scenario, players receive a number of birds to use as projectile weapons. The birds are fired from a catapult to smash into the pigs and blast through their fiendishly created hideouts. The smooth graphics engine with high-quality cartoon visuals and audio create a novel, addictive game for all.
“We think that iPhone and iPod touch users have needed an outlet to vent their frustration for some time,” said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. “Fortunately for them, these birds are not easily appeased. With Angry Birds you can look forward to hours of glorious bird mayhem!”
“Angry Birds uses intuitive touch controls to navigate around the playing field and aim the birds,” said Johnny Coghlan, Head of Publishing for Clickgamer. “The casual nature of the game is perfect for iPhone and iPod touch users seeking a quick hit of fun and action.”
A high amount of detail has been paid to the design of in-game characters and environments. Every avian attacker and porcine enemy is displayed as a cartoon caricature, while the scenery is accurately physically modelled to create an unlimited variety of explosive demolitions. Easy-to-learn controls combined with a steady difficulty progression rewards gamers possessing accuracy, skill and patience.
Angry Birds will release for iPhone and iPod touch on Apple’s iTunes App Store soon.

Escape from Zombies Game Preview December 8, 2009
Posted by iphonetech78 in Previews of Upcoming Games.Tags: CDE Limited, Darkest Fear, Escape from Zombies, graveyard, mazes
add a comment
This game is one of the latest offerings from Celestial Digital Entertainment Limited. This game is quite different from the previous CDE Games. The game features Tom who is a victim of a spoilt car parked just beside a graveyard. He have to find his way in the middle of the graveyard back to his home. Can you help him?
The mazes in this game cannot help but remind me of a similar game called Darkest Fear. But Darkest Fear focuses on mystery and things to find in the game. Escape from Zombies focuses on plain survival. You have to watch your step in guiding Tom on his way to the exit door. Basic survival items he has on hand is a map and an oil lamp. The fuel in the oil lamp will run out so you have to top-up the oil or your oil lamp will be extinguished. The map that Tom has on his hand is being picked up from some place in the graveyard.
Basically, once you step on the wrong squares, you will be attacked by the zombie that is buried under the square. There are a few warning signs that Tom is standing on top of a buried zombie.
First of all, you have to watch out for the sound of the heartbeat and the oil lamp flashes. The heartbeat sound will increase and the frequency of the oil lamp flashes will rise if you are near a zombie. The other indicator is the numeric counter at the bottom left hand corner of the game screen with a multiplier sign. This indicator will change when Tom steps on more zombies.
Depending on the move you guide Tom, this multiplier can increase or decrease Make the wrong moves and Tom dies!
The other notable features of this game are the presence of online statistics and the music shuffle options. You can submit your best timings for each level online to see how well you fare against the other online players. You also can turn off the game’s sounds when you are listening to your iPod’s music. You can even turn on shuffle so that the music will be shuffling when you listen.
It is certainly a great game with 50 beautiful crafted levels for the casual gamer on the bus or on the way to work. I got ripped by the zombies for a couple of times so I need to get back to my game now.
A new epic adventure unfolds in the World of Inotia. December 8, 2009
Posted by iphonetech78 in Press Releases of Apps and Games.Tags: 7.99, an average play time of 48 hours, and Templar, Com2US, five unique classes, Inotia: A Wanderer of Luone, Knight, Magician, over 200 single player quests, Priest, quests and dungeons, Thief
add a comment
After a year of success from The Chronicles of Inotia: Legened of Feanor, Com2uS has released a sequel to the successful role-playing game. With an onslaught of new features, quests, and first time ever RPG online Match up mode, Inotia: A Wanderer of Luone is expected to revolutionize role-playing games on the iPhone.
Inotia: A Wanderer of Luone is jam packed with over 200 single player quests and five unique classes to choose from. Players are given an option to play as one of the following classes: Knight, Magician, Priest, Thief, and Templar which offers a different experience for each player. Completing the main story line provides an average play time of 48 hours but with extra side quests and dungeons, play time can reach well over 100 hours in single player mode.
However, don’t think that you are restricted to play only one character throughout your adventure in the land of Inotia. With the new party system, players are allowed to add up to 2 mercenaries to your party system. Each party member can be controlled by the user at any time or left to their own devices with a customizable AI attack type.
Com2uS has also upgraded their graphics with 12 skills for each class and spectacular graphical effects for each skill. A new look system has also been integrated where each equipped armor or weapon changes the look and feel of your character. And the amount of equipment you can obtain is virtually endless with enchantment scrolls.
To appease gamers of all genres, Com2uS has also added two different types of controls. Touch Screen controls works the same way as A Wanderer of Luone’s predecessor where you can touch on the screen to attack monsters, pick up items, and talk to NPCs. Virtual Pad offers a more familiar approach with a directional pad and action buttons. Offering both types of controls allows this game to succeed where so many iPhone RPG games have failed.
With the launch of the game in December, this game is a “must buy” for the Christmas season.

Elf -An Extremely Addictive Game Review December 7, 2009

add a comment
In this Elf game, you have to guide your elf by tilting your iPhone or iPod Touch left and right to grab bonus boosts and dodge the harmful thistles to obtain a high score.
Right now, you can challenge your friends via email to obtain your high score by email or you can boast your high scores by Facebook Connect. You can also pause, save and resume your current game in the event your iPhone rings.
This game works like Doodle Jump except that it has really nice graphics and jiggling sounds when your elf obtains the power-ups. But when your elf fail to obtain those power-up, he will drop down from the sky yelling “ahhhhh”non-stop. I do wish strangely that when the elf drop down from the sky, he will wish me good afternoon or good evening depending on the current time my iPhone has. There are some background birds flying around but you cannot use them to your advantage. The birds do not harm you too. I hope in the next updates, I can use the birds to gain to the greater heights and obtain higher scores in the game. The below picture shows the type of bonus power-ups and harmful obstacles to avoid in the game.
For now, I just feel this game is great for casual gaming. Get this game if you are a fan of Doodle Jump and Hopple type of games. Now I need to get back to Elf simply because the graphics are pretty cute and adorable. You can also get this game for your niece or nephews. I am sure they will love this game as well!
Graphics: 3/5
Sound/Music: 4/5
Fun: 4/5
Addictiveness: 4/5
Value for money: 5/5
Overall 4 /5

Scanner Pro v1.2 delivers the most advanced iPhone scanning app along with unique new functionality. December 4, 2009

Readdle’s latest version of Scanner Pro now enables users to upload scans to Dropbox, and seamlessly integrates with EuroSmartz Print n Share app to enable printing of scanned documents from an iPhone or iPod Touch
Odessa, Ukraine – December 3, 2009 – Today Readdle announced the release of Scanner Pro 1.2, the latest version of popular iPhone application which transforms the device into portable scanner. Scanner Pro 1.2 introduces integration with Print n Share from EuroSmartz, the all round iPhone printing app. This integration will enable owners of the both apps to seamlessly scan and then print documents to any USB, WIFI, Bluetooth or network printer via a Mac or PC. Another highly anticipated addition of the new version is the ability to upload scanned documents to Dropbox cloud storage.
“Scanner Pro is designed to scan multi page documents and transform them into industry standard PDF files, while Print n Share enables people to print documents from their iPhones. Integration between those two apps was inevitable,” says Igor Zhadanov, Readdle CEO. “Now you can really do everything you need with your scans: send them by email, upload to web and now print!”
Prior to this type of integration iPhone developers were trying to implement all functions their users might need individually, resulting in long development cycles and highly complex applications. Co-operation between Readdle and EuroSmartz is an example of the new trend in the App Store, where established iPhone developers combine their efforts to add more functionality to their applications.
“Print n Share has become the default printing app for the iPhone and we are very pleased to be working with Readdle on this integration to enable Scanner Pro customers to print documents they have scanned onto their iPhone” says Ian Schenkel, Eurosmartz CEO. “We feel this sort of integration and co-operation will ensure iPhone users are able to achieve everything they need for their business requirements now and in the future.
Support of the Dropbox cloud storage service is another very important enhancement implemented in Scanner Pro 1.2. Now, both free and paid Dropbox users can upload documents to their accounts directly from Scanner Pro. It makes Scanner Pro first third-party iPhone application that works with Dropbox.
Pricing and Availability: Scanner Pro 1.2 is available on Apple App Store at $6.99 to the new customers and as a free upgrade for existing users: http://itunes.com/app/scannerpro Print n Share is available on Apple App Store at $6.99: http://itunes.com/app/printnshare
Both applications are compatible with iPhones running iPhone OS 2.2.1 and later.
