Unlimited iPhone Downloads Of Music, Movies, Videos, TV Shows And Games

With the release of the iPhone has come a brand new market. IPhone applications have become the frontier of the free enterprise world with Apple resembling a syndicate with a quasi-monopoly over the entire phone application world. With this new market has come the ever-popular art of reviewing things, and iPhone app reviews have become popular on many mediums.

For good reason, more and more people are making iPhone app reviews on the Internet. Being a new market, it raises many questions from consumers who are interested in finding out more about what they are about to purchase. This is why everyone and their grandmother is reviewing applications on the iPhone. These people come from anywhere, whether it be a company, or simply someone in their room late at night. Whatever the case, there – more than likely – is not an application for the iPhone without a review, and the majority of these applications being reviewed are games.

There are many different types of applications on the iPhone, the most popular of which (for reviewing purposes) are games. There are applications that tell you what song you are listening to. There are applications that tell you show times for movies in your area. There are applications for using your phone as a flashlight. And then there are games, games, games galore.

The game market has gained size at an exponential rate, paralleled only by that of the Playstation 2 upon its release. The major difference here is that there are not cartridges, memory cards or discs involved. It is a touch screen interface and the games are stored entirely in the iPhone memory banks. The games are on the go and the graphics are dependent only on the skills of the developer.

While many games are produced by independent developers – remember, this is a free enterprise market, moderated by Apple – there are also many major game developers putting out major games for the iPhone. Generally speaking, the only differences in the games are quality and smoothness of graphics and gameplay.

Not all games are action and graphic based, though. There are many successful word games and number games that are being offered that get great reviews and make a good amount of money. In fact, most of these games are highly addicting, and their most valuable qualities are how smoothly they run without bugging.

The majority of games with advertisements, therefore, are lite versions of the game, meaning they are usually demos that tend to have advertisements, unless of course they are first person shooter type games. For this reason, many people tend to buy full versions of games, because they will not have to deal with advertisements.

Get ready for your next match-three app purchase. Are we serious? Aren’t there enough (too many) match-three games in the app store? While it is arguable that iTunes needs another match-three style game looking to ride the Bejeweled bandwagon, Groovin’ Blocks is not your common match-up app. As the name implies, Groovin’ Blocks has been placed by Zoo Games as more of a jam session experience than a traditional puzzler. And rather than riding the wave of me-toos in the App Store, Groovin’ Blocks rides off it’s own previous success in the Wiiware download store.

Spending some time with Groovin’ Blocks is like hittin’ up your favorite clubbin’ scene. OK, enough with the apostrophes. Seriously, if you’re a fan of techno beats and pulsating lights you’ll probably like this app. Yet, if rhythm is its soul, puzzling is its heart. Laid out in a Tetris-like format, players are made to arrange stacks of colored blocks within an empty room. Matching touching colors of three or more eliminates those blocks, freeing up space for those jiving on down from above. Building off this idea, Groovin’ Blocks introduces multipliers and powerups into the mix. Multipliers are obtained by hitting the down arrow simultaneous to a beat vibe scrolling in from both sides of the screen. When a multiplier is activated, it remains active as long as the player continues to nail beats when dropping block into place. Powerups are awarded as blocks with special power symbols on them are place with a beat. Some powerups increase the value of nearby blocks while others explode blocks around the powerup holder.

50 levels are included in the game, all being arranged by songs. The goal to open locked levels is to reach certain scoring achievements through matches, powerups and multipliers. When entering the playing arena, the choice of difficulty is presented — either Casual, Experienced, or Hard. Each song is noticeably different from the last and all seem to have a happy, yet trippy, Nintendo feel to them. The UI is easy enough to navigate but we would like to see more flushed-out text box graphics. They seem too default gray looking. No online scoring system is available as of yet but we think Zoo Games will probably add one soon enough.

Certainly, Groovin’ Blocks is no off-the-shelf match three puzzle title. It truly has Tetris on the brain, but pulls off enough originality to set itself apart from the crowd. At its current selling price of $1.99, we highly recommend Groovin’ Blocks for anyone who wants to bust a move while solving a few puzzles along the way.

Rock Band, the wildly popular music game that has been causing a stir across the nation for some time now, has been released by Electronic Arts into the app store. With its near-console quality graphics, varied song selection, and spot-on controls, Rock Band cranks the fun dial to 11.

Rock Band offers three game modes: Quick Play, with 15 songs initially available; World Tour, where you play 5-song sets in several different venues with the ability to unlock 5 more songs; and Multiplayer, where you can join with friends online or over Bluetooth to rock out in true band fashion. The songs themselves are broken down by difficulty, allowing you to choose songs that are fairly simple to songs that are near impossible. After choosing a song, you’ll need to select an instrument from bass, guitar, drums, or vocals. A difficulty setting (easy, medium, or hard) can be selected for each song, offering increasingly more difficult tapping requirements. World Tour allows you to embark on a solo tour from Boston to New York to Seattle to Paris to Moscow. Only Boston is unlocked at the start. You can also Play Online and check out the Leaderboards, both of which require a Facebook connection. When playing online, you play through a song and a friend plays through the same song using a different instrument. Your scores will be combined to form your final score. Bluetooth multiplayer occurs in real time, which is a lot more fun. There is also an achievement system and statistics that are maintained and accessible through the World Tour menu. Your success on tour can gain you many fans along the way.

Graphically, the game is very impressive, even on the small screen of the iDevice. Bass and guitar require you to tap on pick-shaped spots at the bottom of the screen as notes stream vertically down a fretboard. Band animations play in the upper part of the screen. Tapping as the “notes” cross the target mark will earn you points and keep the song in tune. If you miss notes, the instrument sound will drop out and you’ll hear pick scratching noises. Long streaks of successful notes earn multipliers and greater points. Flicking the iDevice at the appropriate time puts you into overdrive. When using drums, you’ll still see notes streaming down a fretboard, but you’ll be tapping objects that resemble drums at the screen bottom. Missing notes on drums results in drumstick sounds. Vocals are a bit different. You’re still required to tap, but the notes stream horizontally across the screen. If you miss enough notes, the song will stop completely and indicate that you’ve failed.

In the audio department, Rock Band shines as much as it does visually. Included are 20 CD-quality songs from the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joan Jett, Smashing Pumpkins, Blink’2, Foo Fighters, Motorhead, All-American Rejects, and more. In-app purchases are present with the ability to buy more songs in pairs for $0.99. All the controls worked perfectly as expected in our experience with the game.

Replayability is very high, as it can be quite difficult to play through a song without missing a single note. It’s also a flat out fun game to play. There are some similar games in the app store, most notably the Tap Tap Revenge series and the Guitar Rock Tour series. However, neither have the full package that Rock Band offers, and both feel a bit more forgiving than Rock Band. For the fullest, most demanding music tapping experience on the iDevice, Rock Band is top dog. Priced at $9.99, it will cost significantly more to own this game than its competitors, but die hard fans will find that it’s worth it. Rock Band shreds a 5-star solo in the palm of your hand.

Want to know the formula for great gameplay? Throw in a deserted mansion, 27 riddle filled rooms, and a robot that’s all heart and you’ll have Mystery Mania, a new game from EA. First offered on EA’s mobile site, Mystery Mania is now available for iPhone and iPod touch. This little gem should last you a few hours of mysterious finger tapping.

Supporting the entire game is its hero F8. Awaking from a deep sleep, F8 realizes he’s lost his memory. So it’s up to you to help F8 discover his past by exploring the mansion that is his world. Every room has a secret that must be unlocked. Clues can be pieced together is a certain order to unlock the mystery. Some rooms have multiple exits that must be discovered in order to progress to other rooms. Mystery Mania truly grants an endearing experience. We found ourselves falling in love with F8. He’s up for anything and will obey your every command. Sometimes, this leads him to a sudden electrocution or dog bite, but F8’s always ready for more action.

In Mystery Mania, you won’t find much in the way of tutorials or instructions. But that is part of the game’s charm. The sole method to help F8 solve each riddle is simply by using logic. Items are placed around each level. Use some objects in certain sequences to activate others. For instance, a candle on the wall can light a burner on a table. Chemicals can then, and only then, be combined in a vessel atop the burner. Make F8 drink the resulting potion and watch what happens. The process of solving the mini mysteries can be tricky at times. But we found ourselves solving them after a few attempts. The key is to be observant. Study the room to recognize some hints EA has thrown in.

In the way of graphics, Mystery Mania will remind you of an online flash game. Vivid color look great, but the sets feel a little flat. The visual department isn’t much to write your friends about. No spoken audio is included. Therefore, F8 interacts with his surrounding acquaintances by way of dialogue boards. Eerie music has bee provided by EA. It fits the whole mood of the game. If a phone call comes in while you’re playing, Mystery Mania will solve your progress so that you can return later.

If you’re the type that enjoys being stumped, surprised, and gratified, Mystery Mania will tickle your pallet. It has all the ingredients of a classic who-done-it rolled into a clever iPhone game playable at any time, for any length of time. EA’s presently offering the game on the App Store for $3.99. We only wish the story of F8 wasn’t unraveled so quickly. Hopefully, we’ll see EA adding levels in an update or sequel soon. Time will tell. But that is a mystery we’re eagerly waiting to unfold.

There’s really very little chance for you to get bored when you have a phone like the iPhone in your hand. So what happens when you want to play a game but you’re on your own? There are loads of games in iTunes which are meant for solitary play and although these might not be as fun as group games using the iPhone, they still cut the mustard.

Who Said That?

If movie is your thing and dialogues you can remember like your old nursery rhymes then you can have loads of fun playing this fast paced game. There’s a pretty good chance that you won’t know all the answers and you can then figure out how good or bad you really are! There’s also a bonus round in this game where you can select the number of movies you think you will get right.

Analyze Handwriting

It’s always fascinating to analyse handwriting; the thought of figuring a person out with just their handwriting is intriguing. You can now see if all the fuss about handwriting analyses is true or not by downloading the Analyze Handwriting app and use it by entering words or sentences that they ask you to, by using your finger or an appropriate stylus.

Free Letter Bug

Even those who proclaim that they cannot stand word games will be transformed when they play this game. It’s great fun and helps to improve your vocabulary as well as spelling ability. Letters are scattered on the screen in layers, and the top most one is the active layer from which you have to choose the letters and make words, spelling them correctly. More points for long letters and the faster you do, the better your score will be. You can also shake the screen to scramble the letters.

Oh my word!

Is this game cool or what! And what’s better is that it’s not even half as gory as some of the hangman games that you’ll find on the iTunes store. It may be far easier on the eyes, but this game is definitely not easier to play. Here, you get two words and a blank word in between, what you need to do is guess the blank word with help of the two words given and also whether it comes before or after either of these words. You need plenty of logic and lateral thinking for this game, have fun!

The good thing about iTunes is that there are plenty of free games which you can download for your iPhone and enjoy them without worrying about the amount of money you seem to be spending these days. These free games come under all categories and there’s plenty to choose from. Here’s a look at some of these free iPhone Games.

Chess Free

For incurable chess addicts, this game is right up your alley, and since it’s created just for your iPhone, viewing and playing it becomes nothing short of a true pleasure. This cool game has a two player option and so there’s nothing it doesn’t have really; and to top that there’s a number of exciting features on it, packed with some neat graphics and topped of with enticing sound effects, this game is a total riot!

Airport Madness

It’s everyone’s nightmare. Losing their luggage at the airport. Relive those tension filled moments with this game where you become an airport suitcase packager. You have to stay alert so that you don’t lose the luggage and make sure that your reflexes are sharp. You can also check scores of other people across the world and compare how you have done.

Slingshot Cowboy

Take that slingshot, aim and hit those cows! That’s what this game is all about, You need to aim and hit a cow and each level and have the cow return at the end of the level as an enraged nasty bull out to run you over! You’ve got to keep hitting them or risk being pulped or worst still killed! You’ll love the visual effects.

Boxed In

If logic games are what you’d rather spend your time on, then you need to try this one out. There’s a robot here that needs to be directed by you to push boxes off the floor; well no, it’s not that simple, if there are obstructions on the other side you cannot pull or push the boxes around. There are 50 different levels to play and you need to remember to push the boxes in the right order.

We love bringing you the most comprehensive iPhone game reviews, especially for games that you must not overlook. Finally arriving in the App Store is Aera, the side-scrolling flight simulator. An enjoyable experience is delivered by the beautiful graphics and awesome controls – no matter if you’re enjoying the scenery or battling other aircraft.

Four planes and three locations are available in Aera. Aerobatic/Solo, Dog Fight, Race, or Free Flight are the missions which you can choose from. Race against the clock in Aerobatic/Solo to collect a set number of objects. Skill is required as you need to avoid the mines and fly through rings in this challenge. Fight against another plane in Dog Fight mode. If the other plane shoots you down first, you lose. But don’t worry, you have guns with a never-ending supply of ammunition and a few rockets. A number of bonuses are awarded for destroying an enemy. Points and rockets are the most common bonus types. In Race mode, simply make it through a course while dodging mines as fast as you can. If you’re feeling lazy and just want to explore, Free Flight mode is where you’ll want to be. Both Campaign mode and Quick Play give you the options to choose Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty levels.

Even though the screen you’re playing on is 2D, a polished 3D feel is well delivered. Listen to the propeller and explosion sounds as these are nicely accurate sounding. Since Aera is more of a simulator than an arcade-style game, no background music is provided. One of our favorite features is the control mechanism. The majority are handled by the iPhone’s accelerometer, just tilt it to change the altitude. Shake it quickly to cause a 180 degree flip. Use any of the on-screen buttons to fire, speed up or slow down, boost, or change viewing cameras. All options are appropriately arranged in an uncluttered manner. An in-game walk-through and tutorial are offered to bring you a little experience before venturing out on your own.

[I:http://www.iphonedownloadsforyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/EricMeister3.png]

Aera sports some interesting features that make it standout. One is the “TimeBack” function, activated when you crash your rig into an object. This freezes time, rewinds several seconds, and allows you to continue from moments before the crash, correcting whatever misstep led to your plane’s demise. This is great, as you get to avoid returning to the start of the level and having to play through several minutes of gameplay to attempt a successful pass at the area in which you previously crashed. We found this extremely helpful. You can also check out a video replay of your mission upon completion, allowing you to evaluate you flight and find areas that need correcting for the next time. Local wi-fi multiplayer is the closest you’ll get to online play. You can either play Duel or Capture the Flag in this mode. The Config menu allows you to adjust sensitivities, as well as invert controls and turn on/off the Prediction line, a path of arrows that indicate your current trajectory based on your altitude and speed.

There may be other flight simulators, side scrollers, and arcade fliers available in the app store, but none that so nicely marries the three. Dog fighting is especially fun and the controls feel very intuitive. Solo can be a fun way to show off your skills while giving you a goal to achieve. It’s just a nice presentation all around. In fact, we can’t remember too many iPhone game reviews that we had so much fun writing. You can tell that a lot of work was put into making this game special. Replay value is high, as the fun, smooth gameplay alone will keep me coming back for more. There are also several Achievements to be earned during the course of gameplay. Unlocking crafts/locations and replaying previously unlocked areas will also increase the replay value. iChromo sends Aera flying into the app store with an attractive $0.99 price tag, a bargain for this terrific 4-star stunner.

With the iPhone and iPod touch gaining popularity by the day and the football season upon us, we thought it would be appropriate to review some NFL video games. As we put together this iPhone Football game roundup, we found three that could just be some of the best apps out there. Let’s take a look at EA’s Madden 10, Gameloft’s NFL2010, and Chillingo’s Super Shock Football.

For the past 20 years, Madden has been the king of football games. It is now available in the App Store by game production house EA. iPhone and iPod touch gamers now face a dilemma as to choose between Madden 10 and the earlier released NFL2010 by Gameloft.

Visually, Madden looks good, but maybe not up to our initial expectations. The graphics are similar to yesteryear’s console performance but don’t compare to what is available today. For the iPhone though, they are adequate. The famous helmet-to-helmet effects and John Madden comments are all present. Additionally, all your iPod library tracks are available to override the built-in music score. Madden 10’s controls all work well and all the options are quickly accessible.

We’re looking forward to multiplayer and roster updates coming in a future software update. As it is, replay ability is exceptional. This IS a Madden football game. Expect to be engulfed in it until the next one is released. Gameloft’s NFL2010 is right up there with Madden yet each offers a few things the other lacks. So, go ahead and buy both if you can pull it off. At $9.99, Madden enters the App Store at an expected price point and should stay there for the entire season. As anticipated, Madden 10 brings a 4-Star experience to the table and shoves its closest rival NFL2010 into OT.

Being released as the first full-featured football game for the iPhone, NFL2010 by Gameloft is designed to deliver. Of course, Madden 10 will be the title all comparisons are made by. Yet, in our reviewing NFL2010, we were excited to see it holds up and stands tall against its 20-year-old rival.

NFL2010 definitely sports a wow-factor in the graphics department. Actually, this is the closest to Madden we’ve experienced. We liked the sounds too. You’ll enjoy responsive controls and notice that they are all well honed. Some functionality does feel to be missing as we don’t quite feel we have total control over the plays. Sometimes, we get the feeling we are simply watching them happen as we have set them up. Kicking plays seemed to give the most feeling of control as they allow for dual controls of aiming and power. We liked this scheme the most.

For what it’s worth, NFL 2010 looks great and plays well for a first effort. We expect to play this one for some time. While a little pricey at $7.99, it seems downright cheap when you consider that any similar console version will likely start around $50. NFL 2010 is a solid 4-Dimple touchdown celebration of a game.

Super Shock Football, Chillingo’s new sports game based on the classic electric football game, has been released in the app store. Combining the random exhilaration of vibrating players with some exciting new additions, Super Shock Football won’t replace Madden or NFL2010, but it creates a whole new experience unto itself that many may find just as satisfying.

Graphically, the game looks terrific, with 2D men darting around in a 3D world. The view shifts back and forth between top down for setup and on field for close ups of the action during plays. Sounds are great, with the soft hum of vibrating players in the background and football sound effects (like crowd noise, whistles, etc.) in the foreground. Controls are simple touches and can be accomplished with a single finger. Game information (scores, time remaining, etc.) are in tiny print along the screen bottom. While these are a bit difficult to read, they won’t detract from the overall gameplay. Several options exist, including quarter length (up to 15 minutes each) and number of men per side (as many as 11, but you can play with far fewer).

Clearly, there are other games available for a more authentic football experience, but Super Shock Football is in a league of its own for nostalgia and humorous gameplay. If you don’t take this game too seriously, it is an absolute blast. Replay value is very high, as anything can happen and the eventual outcomes are so random that no two games will be anywhere close to the same. Chillingo has priced Super Shock Football at $1.99 for a limited time, a very fair price for an enjoyable experience. Super Shock Football is worthy of a 5-Dimple touchdown dance.

In just over a year, iPhone and iPod touch gaming has soared to new levels. As we planned these NFL video games for review, we had no idea they would all perform so well. Madden 10, NFL2010, and Super Shock Football all bring exceptional aspects to the table with the result being a major winner for mobile gamers the world over. These truly are some of the best apps we’ve come across.
