Flesh and Games

IDracula is a arcade type of game for the Iphone/Ipod touch. In this game you play a vampire hunter killing vampires, warewolves, witches, dracula, and some weird looking animals. There are four different playable modes; survival, super survival, rush, and wave attack; with only three different playable maps (all available from the begining, there is not much to unlock). 8 Different weapons from pistols to gernade launchers to flame throwers. It makes it a little better with a perk system so you can upgrade your health, speed, range of weapons, and other special abilities. In this game they use the wheel controls which sometimes gets a little annoying. This game gets a little repetitive at times with only 3 types of game modes and a lack of CO-OP and leaderboards. Right now its set at .99 cents, its worth it check it out. 75%

Lets Golf is a golf game (obviously) for the Iphone/Ipod touch. This game has ok graphics for the Iphone, but I’ve seen better. There is multiplayer but only on one devise or LAN (via wifi). There is a tournament mode that only consists of four different islands. There is four different characters to choose from; each character you can customize (outfit, hair, and golf ball). Each character has different attributes with power, accuracy, recovery, and putting. The gameplay is very simple you tap the screen to start your swing and then there is a meter bar telling you how much power you are giving the swing. There are a wide variety of clubs including drivers, wedges, and putters (i know nothing about golf). For people who are fans of golf or golf video games I think you should pick this up especially with the .99 cents sale but for people who are not fans of golf I would watch out this is a little frustrating (well for me). but for the price it is pretty good. 75%

OK, lets get the worst things about Kroll out of the way first. Its a bit repetitive and a hair difficult. That’s it. This game is probably one of the BEST action games in the App Store to date.

When you start up Kroll you have the choice to delve into the story by turning the pages of a book or you can just jump into the game. There are 3 difficulties-Normal, Hard, and Insane. The latter is unlockable. Kroll is a side-scrolling hack-n-slash game. You have 2 arrows to press (left and right) and 2 different attacks-A quick, weak, pushback attack and A slow, strong, knockback attack. Tapping the stronger attack “area” will get you a chain combo. Even on the “Normal” difficulty it is pretty hard. There are 2 meters to charge by using killing enemies and not dying. They will get you a special attack, triggered by shaking your device. There are a few chapters and within each chapter there are 3 levels. After the 3 levels is a Boss Fight. Witch is basically an impressive Quicktime-Event. The levels are very entertaining and the Boss Fights are very impressive to watch.

The BEST part of Kroll is it’s killer visuals. This game is the most visually impressive game on the App Store I’ve seen.
Kroll is great. Its a bit difficult, but it looks great and its fun to play (and look at). I don’t know if its worth $7.99 but, its AT LEAST worth the $.99 sale price now. Go buy it. Now. 95%

iHunt is in the App Store to let you unleash your inner Red-neck. This game is probably the best hunting experience on the iPhone. iHunt is a very boring game, like hunting.

There are 2 modes to play-Quick Hunt and Full Hunt. In both modes you are limited to a perch in the middle of a field with random, varying environments. In “Full Hunt” you start out with the bare essentials to hunting, a rifle and 3 clips of ammo. As you shoot down your prey you gain cash which in turn lets you buy a shotgun, bow, ammo, camo, scent eliminator, adjustable scope, and the majorly expensive radar. There are about 2 different animals you can hunt-Deer and Birds.Once you take out a deer, it’ll take about 1 minute for another to appear. Hence it is hard to get cash, therefore it takes much dedication to be getting the more expensive items from the store. In “Quick Hunt” you already have an adjustable scope and unlimited ammo. The better mechanic with this mode you can choose the environment (because some are eye melting to look at).

iHunt 3D is a game with a lot of content in some areas and the true(st) hunting experience on the iPhone. But the game is SO boring and requires a lot of dedication to hit the (awful) stride of the game. You can spend your $.99 on a better game in the App Store 75% (like Kroll(which is on sale)

Star Defense is not your normal tower dense game. Star Defense is a tower defense set on multiple planets/stars. There are 7 different stars in the campaign and 2 challenge stars. In the campaign you have to defend your base on that star from waves of enemies. So far i saw only 4 different enemies…..very disappointing. Their are facebook connect and twitter connectivities so you can challenge all your Iphone gaming buddies. The Iphone game developers ngmoco have made a social network on their games called plus+ that i have only seen in Star Defense. This game is priced at 5.99 right now. This is a great game for an ok price I really recommend it. 80%

There are a few crossword games in the iPhone App Store. One of them that stand out is a game called “wurdle”. In “wurdle” you are given a grid of letters-4×4 to 8×8 and the ability to change the play time to 1 minute to 5 minutes to unlimited. What you actually do to play is dragging your finger across letters of the grid to make words, longer the words, the more points get. If you are dissatisfied with the Dictionary wurdle is using, they have 2 to switch from. If you cannot find any words in the grid, just shake to shuffle the letters. Also, change the minimum word length(3 letters is set by default). You can make an account and set Local and Global Highscores. You can change Wallpaper and Tile images(not with your own pics sadly.). There is no incentive to keep playing this game after a few playthroughs, except it’s sheer addictivity. Overall wurdle is a great game with little replay value, but for the price of $2.99 and a good amount of addictivity, its a great game. 85%
