I now turn my attention to honorariums of the Star Wars franchise. And by that I mean apps that try to rip off the iconic images and themes that George Lucas used in his original trilogy. Even the name logo of the app shamelessly steals from Lucas’ movies.
Star Words is a marvellous way of simulating the "scrolling text" beginnings of all the Star Wars movies without actually paying George Lucas any money. Naturally, since no license fees are paid, the text and backg…Read More
Cat Juggling is one of those apps that was offered free for a day in the App Store from a special promotion. I got it on the basis of its name alone, thinking of a sketch from Steve Martin in the movie ‘The Jerk’.
The app itself is cute. You are a juggler and the objective is to swipe the juggler’s hands under the cats as they fall from the top of the screen. When that is done, the cats will catapult (pun intended) back upwards. The more cats you keep from falling to the ground, t…Read More
From the makers of Reel Director comes the app that could be called the Hipstamatic of video photography. While it doesn’t work as smoothly as I would prefer, it is a handy app for creating a variety of different styles of video.
Basically, the app allows you to take video either from the camera or the library and alter it to different styles and colors. It’s a bit like changing the camera type and lens after you have already filmed. You can apply multiple lenses and effects simultaneou…Read More
iKitt used to be offered for free, but no longer. Glen Larson or someone must have gotten wind of it and now for the honor of having William Daniels as the voice of your car, it will cost you a buck.
If you’re a Knight Rider fan, the app is very cute and definitely worth the buck. If you’ve never heard of Knight Rider or couldn’t care less, there are probably other purchases you could make.
For those who are fans, you can even mess with people’s heads and put it on your dashboard acti…Read More
What do you get when you take your basic top down shooter arcade game, get rid of the entire level except the boss, and then multiply the bullets on the screen, and give your ship a giant laser? Well, you would then have cult classic rRootage. This action game, released by Kenta Cho of ABA games, charmed the hearts of gamers on the Mac and PC, and is now available for the iPhone from Fraglab.
To be honest, this game has been ported once to the iphone during the early days of the app store. This official…Read More
Your race has been run, and your soul is finally ready to shuffle off this mortal coil. In the deviant minds at Kydos Studio, death is just the beginning with their indie game Soul. This game has made quite a splash in the xbox live realm and now is is poised to win the hearts of the iPhone gaming public. With hand drawn artwork and horrifiying style, this is one title you wont want to play in the dark.
The game takes place in a building that looks like it would fit as a scene in the movie Saw. You exit…Read More
Zombies are still popular — the craze that everybody wants to be a part of. The latest example of this is Zombie Duck.
Zombie duck is a hunting game—using the accelerometer, you tilt your iPhone to put the cross hairs over a duck that’s flying across the screen. When the crosshairs are firmly over the duck, press the ‘gun’ button to fire and shoot. If you don’t kill him fast enough, he turns into a zombie (IE: a red duck). If you don’t kill th…Read More
TripTik is AAA’s entry into the navigation / GPS app market.
In terms of routing it’s pretty straight forward. You enter your starting point (which can be either your current location or an address) and an ending point. TripTik then find the path to your destination. Generating your path is accurate and fast.
As you start your trip, the complete directions are announced. While traveling along the path, your current location, as you’d expect, is updated. When it comes tim…Read More
Just one last "Geek Week" review for the celebration of the San Diego Comic Con. We will now turn our attention on an app based on the British science fiction program "Doctor Who". This app doesn’t appear to be officially licensed, so if you’re a fan you may want to download this one as soon as possible.
The app emulates the Sonic Screwdriver device handled by the main character of that program. He is called the Doctor and he is an alien time traveler. Anytime…Read More
POW is one of those apps that you download on a whim on those days when you’re perusing the App Store for weird, free stuff. Taking a page from the Batman TV show from the 60’s, the app makes a punching noise when you hold it in your hand and move your arm forwards and back, pretending to hit someone or something. It can be adjusted between right-handed and left-handed people.
The app is somewhat tricky to use and the sounds don’t always occur when you make the motion (perhaps the app is…Read More
