REVIEWS!
Scott:
Title: Fore (golf Game) – 2.99
Concept: Top down golf game.
Graphics & Sound: Graphics and sound are just fine! Music is horrible.
Control & Interface: HORRIBLE controls. Never really know how things are going to go. They should patch.
Gameplay: Great golf idea, great perspective, great concept for a quick pick up game, terrible controls.
Extras: With local Peer-to-Peer multi-player you can also enjoy the thrill of real time competition with your friends. Plus+ enabled, add friends, access leader boards, earn Plus+ awards.
Score: 2.5 stars
Title: Shoutcast Radio – Free
Concept: Streaming of thousands of Shoutcast audio servers.
Sound: Same quality as using a PC for this or whatever. Various streams with various speeds.
Control & Interface: Basic, nothing fancy, gets the job done. Favorites, popular picks, search-able, etc.
Gameplay: NA
Extras: NA
Score: 3.5 stars
Eric:
Title: Eliminate Pro – Free
Concept: FPS
Graphics & Sound: Good graphics, fast and fluid
Control & Interface: Takes a bit to get use to, but once you get a hang of it…it’s pretty tight. Only complaint is getting stuck in certain places- like overhangs
Gameplay: Quick online matches with strangers and/or friends. Shoot em up, pick-up credits along with power-ups, earn credits to upgrade and buy new armor and weapons.
Extras: Uses the + Plus system to track achievement.
Cons: Can only earn credits if you have energy, you can use up your energy after 4 or so matches, then have to wait about 2 hours for Refill…but can spend real money to refill energy bar. Is a level cap on upgrades for weapons and armor so you have to actually play and level to get the best out of your gear.
Score 4 stars
Title: Fling .99¢
Concept: Puzzle
Graphics & Sound: Good graphics, fast and fluid
Control & Interface: Simple controls, just have to flick furry balls
Gameplay: Object of the game is to flick all the balls off the board so you only have one ball remaining, knock other balls off the board by “Flinging” other balls at them…you can only fling up, down, left and right. Can’t fling a ball unless it hits another ball. Gets tricky after awhile.
Extras: Has online leader board and 2 modes Arcade and Challenge.
Score 4 stars
