The Simpsons Arcade for iPhone
- 02 Nov 09
Ahhh when I was a lad I remember spending more than a few quid playing The Simpson in my local Arcade.
Well EA seem to of realised that this little bit of Arcade gold was crying out for an iPhone make over.
The game has changed a fair bit from it's original Arcade version, now you play only as Homer and the rest of the family act as cool special powers you can activate along the way.
Combat is the usual BeatEMup style side ways scrolling game play of old and the on screen joypad and action buttons work well with only occasional bit of air punching becoming a problem.
The graphics are very nice to look at with detailed animations and are in the usual Simpsons style, the frame rate holds up well but theirs not a lot here to stress your phone.
Special mention has to be made to the cut scenes and use of The Simpson's huge cast to create a really fun game and a great little Simpson's story.
You can get it now from the iTunes Store.

Tetris is now on your iPhone and just as addictive and fun as you remember it possibly a little more so now you can swipe your finger on the screen to interact with your game board.
A classic from the Gamboy era and now brought into full colour on your iPhone Tetris has stood the test of time as one of the first and greatest video games ever invented.

iPhone Earth Worm Jim
- 01 Dec 08
Oh yes you read that right Earth Worm Jim is back and now he's in your pocket, this 90's classic is remade for the iPhone with all new graphics and sound effects but that same insane brand of Worm humor.
Earth Worm Jim retains all it's charm and humor and a fair amount of it's difficulty but it's still a total blast to play.
You control Jim using an onscreen joypad most of you will be familiar with by now, three action buttons allow you to perform Earth Worm Jim's signature moves from using the hand blaster to the head whip (seriously head whip)
The controls work well better than some iPhone releases in recent memory well worth picking up if you fancy some nostalgia mixed with worm food :-)
Grab Earth Worm over at the iTunes store now.
TubeMap for iPhone
- 01 Aug 09
Not sure about you but I spend a fair bit of time on the London Tube system, so it's great to have an app on my iPhone that allows me to keep up to date on delays or cancellations and helps me get to those seldom visited tube stations outside the capital.
Enter TubeMap it's simple but very effective, allowing you to plot which tube stops you need to change at and alerts you to delays or cancellations on the network, a real time saver.
You can get TubeMap from the iTunes app store now.
