Apps 4 Itouch

This week's choice was a bit more relaxed than last weeks' one, because an abundance of great apps were presented to the Appstore. This made my choice easier, I just had to pick the 5 Top Apps. OK... I'm going to stop talking & start reviewing this weeks Top 5 Apps. :-)


Here are this weeks Top 5 Apps for the Ipod Touch:

1). "Sniper Vs. Sniper: Online" is a great application which recently became free (One Day Only). Its' original price was $4.99, which I guess is OK, as a price. When this game launched back 1-2 Years ago it was clear that it had potential to becoming a huge sensation, & it turns out that it IS a huge sensation! The game consists of a "Single Mission" Mode (6 Maps, Campaign, 1 Vs. 1, & Special Missions.) & an "Online Play" Mode (1 Vs. 1 Online & Alliance Attack).

• Single Mission:
• This Mode consists of 6 Maps. Each Map contains a "Campaign", a "1 Vs. 1" (User Vs. CPU), & a "Special Mission" ( 5 of them.). Doing all of these of each of the 6 Maps can benefit you greatly, since you receive an abundance of practice before stepping into Online Play. By completing the "Special Mission(s)" you receive a small boost (Item) that benefits you in your online play. For example, "Increase Goggle View", or "Increase of Armour". This helps you extremely much when you're playing AGAINST others, or WITH others.

• Online Play:
• Once you click on Online Play it shows a Chat room & which "Channel" (Room) you're in at the moment. It gives you an option to play a 1 Vs. 1 Match,  or an Alliance Attack. Next to those it also shows your friend list with your friends you added through game play. The Top right corner displays your Rank & your Wins & Losses. ("Thumb up" = Wins, & "Thumbs down" = Losses).

• 1 Vs. 1 Match:
• This option allows the user to select another user in the same Channel (Room) to play against. Once you send the user (Your Opponent) an invitation (Including a map selection), he can either "Accept" or "Deny". If he accepts you, you will play on the selected map. You will have to find your opponent in a certain window of a large building (Forest, Castles, Etc... Whatever your Map you chose) & kill him with your Sniper Rifle before he does. Once you killed him a certain number of times, you win! This will bump you up in Rankings.

• Friends-list:
• The friends-list button allows the user to check if their friends are Online & more.

• Worldwide Ranking:
• This button allows the user to look at the World-wide Ranking for Sniper Vs. Sniper: Online. To get into the Worldwide Ranking database you should be winning an abundance of matches & Losing very few of them.

Conclusion:

• I advise you to go & download this game. This is the 1st Real Sniper game for the Ipod Touch, It did  cost money a few weeks ago, now it's FREE!!! If you like Online Multiplayer games & like the genre of shooting (Sniping), this is THE app for you! I rate this application 5/5.

2). "BounceBullet". This game is very similar to "Ricochet Kills: Players Pack" on Addicting-games. There are a few differences though. This application is called "BounceBullet", & It's only designed to be played on an Ipod Touch, Iphone, & Ipad. It features a variety of levels which makes the game even more enjoyable, since each level has its' own twist. :-) Once you start the Application, it will ask you for an "OpenFeint" Log-in, If you have one, enter it, if not... create an account. (Yes... It Is compatible with Open Feint.) Then, once you've completed these things, a home screen will appear, click either "New Game" or "Resume" to continue from the point you stopped at. Here's a little screen shot of the game:

Game-Play - (As you see the bullets bounce around!)

• Every level you have a certain amount of bullets to complete the level. In my opinion they give you too much bullets every level.... but HEY, It gets things done quicker & more efficiently. No need to become frustrated... :-) This is definitely worth checking out! I rate this application a 3.5/5!

3). "Live Poker 7K" is an extremely fun & enjoyable game! (If you know the rules of Poker ;-)) You have the choice of playing Poker in a Tournament or at regular Table, with either 5 or 9 Players. I'm not going to get into detail with the rules of Poker, but the aim of the game is to keep winning money by having better "Hands" than your opponent(s). The first time you launch the application everyday, you receive a certain amount of money. This is referred to as the "Daily Lottery". This application is also compatible with Facebook. You can see what rank your friends are & how much money they have. If you are a Poker fan, You'll definitely want to check out this App! I rate this Application 4.5/5!

 Tournament Mode - Table Size - 5 or 9 Players.

4). "Angry Birds Lite" is a great game that involves shooting "Angry Birds" at obstacles. It stems from the "Angry Birds" application which is the Full version. This game has 12 levels, each level gets surprisingly harder. As of right now, I'm on level 7, I just can't beat it! :-( But that's just me being unlucky! After you complete the 12 levels, you'll have to buy the Full version to keep playing.The full version costs $0.99 & is rated 5 Big Fat Stars! :-D Oh... I forgot one big detail... It's first in the Top Paid Apps Category!!!! Anyways, why am I talking about paid apps...? Isn't this Blog about reviewing FREE apps? OK, I advise you to go download this app, It's Fun! I rate this application 4/5!

Game-Play - Bird is about to smash the obstacle.

5). "Skype" is a World-Wide used program for Video Chat, Chat, And/Or, Voice Chat. Finally this has been put into an application form. Now you can download Skype onto your Ipod, Iphone, or even your Ipad & do tons of stuff with it. Skype is preferably used on the Iphone, because it has a built in Microphone. This Application requires you to have Wi-Fi, or 3G; Any type of connection towards the internet. Great App! Love It! I rate this application a 3.5/5!
