Save Betsy is Like Doodle Jump on the Farm

Save Betsy is another version of the accelerometer-based jumping game that has become so popular for iPhone. It is akin to Doodle Jump , but unlike Doodle Jump, the leader of all such games where iTunes rankings are concerned, Save Betsy, has a seriously twisted vegan (or anti-vegan) theme, but don’t worry, no cows were harmed in the making. Save Betsy stars Betsy the cow, who is trying to avoid the grills and meat grinders that will turn her into steak....

Stream Video from PC to iPhone with JumiCam

JumiCam is an application that allows you to view webcam footage streaming from your home PC to your iPhone. It works with the Jumi Controller, which you have to install on your PC (not available for Mac yet). I was skeptical over trying JumiCam because many times apps that work with your computer over Wi-Fi fail miserably or at least require a major song and dance to get it working properly. To my amazement JumiCam was a relatively pleasant surprise. (…)...

Dreamscape is a Bubble Arcade Set against Dreamy Backgrounds

Bubble popping games have been a part of iPhone culture since the beginning. In fact, there’s probably not a user out there who hasn’t stolen at least a few moments absentmindedly popping virtual bubbles between calls or emails. Typically, these types of apps are free and intended as pointless observations of finger dexterity and speed. Dreamscape , which is Barefoot Explorers’ rendition of the infamous bubble game is a bit different than the vast majority... 

Pinball Reviews: Hi-Def Apps Sure Play a Mean Pinball

Pinball Review — Geezer alert: I remember real pinball . I know you can still find a freestanding machine here or there in a turnpike rest-stop or an arcade. But I remember row after row of tables lining our arcades, bowling alleys, and other dens of iniquity, before the Galaga and Donkey Kong consoles stole their thunder. Over time gamers migrated to couches and desk chairs, where you could not bump, grind, and shake like an epileptic in mid-coitus. Pinball...

Enjoy Continuous Shooting Fun with Fotomecha

Fotomecha — Photography apps for iPhone are abundant and range from kid-friendly to technologically endowed.
