Fight the forces of evil to unlock a BRAND NEW, EXCLUSIVE song by Linkin Park!

Many years ago, the world existed in 8-bit harmony…until PixxelKorp arrived. Now technological advancement dominates, and evil reigns supreme. A mass-brainwashing campaign has taken over and is turning the world into a high-res nightmare. A rebellion is rising, and Linkin Park is calling on YOU to lead the fight against PixxelKorp.

The long anticipated massively multiplayer online game is the first official application of Linkin Park on the iPhone, iPod touch & iPad.

Created by Linkin Park and Artificial Life, Inc., Linkin Park 8-BIT REBELLION!, players embark on a rebellious adventure where they can explore the city center and 6 specific districts each featured with the distinctive style of a band member. The master goal after all is to retrieve the band’s stolen music track – Blackbirds, a BRAND NEW, UNRELEASED Linkin Park song, exclusively for the game.

Screen Saver Pro~ App Review

24 Apr

IMG_0012

We usually use screen savers for our desktop PCs or Macs but do we need a screen saver app for our iPhone or iPod Touch? I happen to come across this app called Screen Saver Pro~. It is available for 99 cents on the iTunes App Store.

IMG_0020

The app is very simple and easy to use. Once you tap on the app’s icon, it goes into screen saver mode. I figured this is useful when you are charging your iPhone or iPod Touch. To change the theme or screensaver, you just need to tap on the exclamation button located on the right.

IMG_0013

You can change the background image of the screen saver or add some music from your iPhone or iPod music library.

IMG_0021

IMG_0014

IMG_0018

IMG_0019

There are 24 themes to choose from in the Application. I tested some of the themes and some of my favorites are Fancy Snow, Dreams, Butterfly and Star Shower. There are a few nice themes but I have not tried them all. Each of the themes support multi-touch effects. Once you tap on each surface of your iPhone or iPod Touch, the effects begin from your area of touch. This is one beautiful app that shows you the dazzle of screen savers without burning a hole in your pocket.

You can add the beauty of the screen saver by changing the wallpapers. However, I feel the developer can let users like us add themes ourselves by making a themes editor, so that we can further customize or create our own themes.

Functionality: 4 /5
Ease of Use: 5 /5
Value for Money: 5 / 5
Type of users Catered for: Normal users
Overall: 4.5 /5

Destroy the obstacles in the surrounding area to enable the sheep to achieve their objective, to land on land, in total safety. Increasingly complex structures and special blocks (indestructible, explosive, etc.) coming in a variety of shapes and with different actions will make your missions harder.

First Fully-featured MMORPG on your iPhone/iPod Touch released by Com2uS

17 Apr

image

Com2uS has just released the highly anticipated MMORPG, IMO: The World of Magic on the App Store.

IMO_01

IMO is a virtual world that combines the strategy of role-playing games with the competitiveness of social networking games.

image

You can choose from one of three classes: Fighter, Ranger, and Wizard and decide your character’s realms: Lanos Kingdom or Sirus Empire.

image

You will be able to set your character’s gender, name, hair style, and color. Your character will then be placed in a virtual online world with thousands of players from around the world. When you fight, your character will gain exp which will help you build skills that can be used in combat.

image

Real-time network play with your friends
Unlike the slew of single player role-playing games out there, the best part of IMO is that you can play with your friends and/or family online in real-time.

image

Each character can create a party with up to 4 members which allows each member to gain exp at a higher rate. If you are looking for something a
little more casual, you can create a guild which allows up to 40 members and offers special chatting channels. Multiple chatting modes such as speak, shout, whisper, guild chat, and party chat, you can target your messages to a desired group of people in the virtual world.

IMO_04

However, one of the most addicting features of IMO is the player vs. player arenas. This allows players from one realm to attack players from another realm. As seen on other MMO games, this adds an element of collaboration and strategy from each realm to launch attacks against other players.
IMO is FREE!

Com2uS has released the game as a FREE game where users can play without any restrictions.However, for users who want an extra boost to their gameplay, specific items are purchasable via In-App purchases.

IMO_02

These items do not break the balance between users but instead, adds features that make certain aspects more convenient. For example, there is a scroll that allows the user to summon a friend to the location of your character. This item is not a necessity in the game but bypasses the inconvenience of travelling across the virtual world to meet a friend. Therefore, a user can play the entire game without needing to purchase a single item.
