SpellCraft School Of Magic in Review – Hogwarts has some competition

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 08:54 PM PST

I've never been a fan of the freemium model employed by so many games on the App Store these days, but ever since I've had my iPad I've been hooked on two of them.  The first is Mystery Manor , which I reviewed just before Christmas, and the other is Appy Entertainment's latest release, SpellCraft School of Magic.  Like everything else in their portfolio it's different from anything else they've done, and it's also not quite like any other dungeon crawler I've played.  In addition to the combat you actually have to grow your own ingredients to cook your own spells, and you can even get a pet to care for that will help protect you in exchange.  This may be a dungeon crawler "lite" in some regards, but it offers enough to keep me coming back for more on a daily basis.

Senior Citizen Review of Ipod Touch, By Sanjosemom

I purchased my Ipod Touch 8G in January just for fun and to see what all the fuss was about. I use a laptop and have wireless connectivity in my home. But I don't store music on an Ipod and don't have "smart" cell phone. After using the Ipod Touch for a few months, all I can say is "WOW".

This device is like carrying a small computer in your pocket. I can connect to the internet wirelessly at home and anywhere I can find a public connection--library, cafe, etc. I check my email (read and compose), facebook, Meetups, Ravelry, take pictures and movies, and with the Skype App, can video call my kids. I have become hooked on the Angry Birds game, which is fun to do while waiting anywhere. I have also downloaded audio books from my library to take with me when I travel. I knit and have any pattern I am working on loaded on my Touch so I don't worry about losing it. All this in a 2x4 inch little device I can carry with me everywhere.

I considered getting a smart phone instead, but Verizon's additional mandatory monthly cost of $30/month turned me off. It would be nice to have internet access where ever I am, but I don't need it and don't want to pay $360/year for it. I like the fact that the Ipod Touch does not require any additional monthly costs.

I compared my Touch to my friends Ipad. It appears that my Touch does most everything the Ipad does, but the Touch is so much smaller.

My son has a Droid, which does what my Touch does plus it is his cell phone. But games wear his battery down quickly. I don't have to worry about that since my phone is separate from my Touch. And I think my screen is a little bigger and sharper.

If I needed to be connected to the internet at all times and have a cell phone too, I would probably stick with a smart phone and pay the extra $30/month. But if you want a very versatile tool in a small package to carry with you, I highly recommend the Ipod Touch.
So much fun!

Side-by-side comparison with the X-mini II and iM-237/227, By rpgboy00 (Florida)

I purchased this item not too long ago along with an X-mini II capsule speaker. I originally had the Altec Lansing iM-237 but then decided I wanted something in addition to it that was smaller and more convenient in terms of power (rechargeable). Upon arrival, I immediately checked both of the products' listed specs. They are VERY similar (spec-wise and physically) except for the following:
X-mini II / AYL
1) Weight: 83g / 63g
2) Height: 44mm closed / 45mm
3) Frequency: 100Hz-20kHz / 180Hz-20kHz

While the X-mini II has a built-in volume control, built-in audio-out plug/cord, and is expandable for bass boost, the AYL lacks these features. They both have the same battery capacity; the AYL does not list discharge stats so I can't completely vouch for battery life, but I suspect the same given their identical specs in terms of power consumption/output.

In terms of sound output, both the X-mini II (closed) and AYL gave more or less similar amounts. This is to be expected as both utilize 40mm drivers with the same shape. However, in terms of sound quality, I preferred the AYL a bit more to the X-mini II (closed). The AYL is not expandable so it cannot be configured to expose the resonator like the X-mini II. Therefore, one would think that lacking this versatility would automatically give X-mini II the upper hand. Not so fast. The AYL speakers actually produced a more noticeable amount of bass than the X-mini II closed. Aside from that, sound was more clear on the AYL, especially near the highs.
However, when the BXS resonator is exposed on the X-mini II, the bass is far more present than the AYL (you can actually feel it beating in you). The X-mini II's overall sound output decreases slightly, but gives a tremendous boost to the bass (use an equalizer, if possible, to balance the bass). Sound quality also improves in the treble parts. But the one main issue I had with the X-mini II was how it moved around in the expanded form; on a hard surface, the bottom of the X-mini II would tap and vibrate and produce unwanted sounds. Getting the bass boost is great, but the degree of unwanted sounds was too bothersome for me to keep the speaker in expanded form at max volume.

I've not mentioned the Altec Lansing iM-237 in the above comparison because in virtually all aspects of sound, the iM-237 blows away both the X-mini and AYL speakers. Although the same driver size, it's larger (more free) and consumes more power so of course, it wins. Where the X-mini II in expanded form had a FEEL type of bass, the iM-237 had both the FEEL and HEAR elements and offered a great balance with the treble output. It was much easier to hear/differentiate the actual pitches of the bass lines (various instruments) on the iM-237. The X-mini II has presence w/the bass but is overpowering w/bass-heavy vibrations that it makes it more difficult to do so. In terms of pure sound quality and output, I'd rate the speakers as the following (from 1-10):
Altec Lansing iM-237 - 10
X-mini II (expanded) - 8.0 (only if you minimize the movement on max volume)
AYL mini speakers - 7.3
X-mini II (closed) - 7.0

Overall, I would recommend the Altec Lansing iM-237 above any other if you have rechargeable batteries for it; being able to use spares for extended playback is a big plus for longer trips. However, some people may actually like the X-mini II (expanded) more than the iM-237 since balance-wise, the bass is stronger and more tangible for select tunes (on the border of being distorted). When deciding between the X-mini II and the AYL, a lot of it is preference in sound, but if you don't want to deal with the moving around of the X-mini II on max volume, then it would be better to get the AYL. The bass is more noticeable than the X-mini II closed and sound is a bit more clear; if you can deal with (or resolve - place the pouch under the speaker?) movement and like the versatility of exposing the resonator, then the X-mini II is the clear winner as the bass is much more significant and the treble sounds more free. I would have rated the AYL 5 stars, but the lack of volume control, built-in audio cable, and bass boost option in comparison to the X-mini II when considering that the two are basically the same price after shipping, gives the 5 to the X-mini II and a 4-4.5 for the AYL. Regardless, these are good speakers and any of them will give satisfying performance results.
*Note: apparently, the iM-237 is the same as the iM-227, just different in color and included accessories.

Reflections On A Year’s Worth Of App Watching – 2010 Edition

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 04:31 AM PST

AirAttack - Sublime Scrolling Shooter

As the year draws to a close I've started thinking about my time writing the weekly "10 Games To Watch" article, and I soon realized that I've been doing this since May of 2010.  As such I thought I'd take a few moments to reflect back on my first year's worth of articles and point out some of my biggest hits (and worst misses).  That way, if you're in need of a few extras games because of some new iTunes gift card burning a hole in your account, you'll have some idea of the ones you missed that are worth checking into again – or avoiding, as the case may be.(...)

Dwnld iTunes bdg V wht88x48 Bowling Wizards by Nextwave Multimedia

Nextwave Multimedia from Chennai, India, launches Bowling Wizards – a fun filled, exciting bowling game for all ages.

The story: The Wizard world is in crisis. Here the 'Bowlons' and the 'Pines' had lived harmoniously till the Evil Lord cast his spell on the ‘Pines’ who have taken over the land and enslaved the ‘Bowlons’.
Gamers play for the Bowlons against the Pines in the fight to break their shackle and liberate Wizard Land.
Game Play: Wizard Land comprises, for now of the 2 islands, Airea and Ruins (with 3 more islands to be added soon). The islands are divided into levels, each level having distinct environment, with different game play. In each level the gamer has to knock down all the Pines. Packed with concealed surprises and magic, the challenges are daunting. The Pines and Bowlons have a mind of their own; the bowling alleys are mysterious and misleading, sometime zigzagged, sometime curved…..So intelligent strategy and clever game play is obligatory to win.

Made using Blender 2.49 for the 3D models and Unity 3D game engine for the game development.

Launched on Nokia Store, AppStore for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch & iPads) Android Market, Mac AppStore, and Chrome store

iPhone case makes room for USB stick

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 12:18 PM PST

Korean accessories maker ego&company has unveiled what could be one of the more useful iPhone cases around. Dubbed the ego USB and part of the their “Hybrid Series”, this snap on iPhone 4/4S case has room for one ultraslim usb stick that slides in from the bottom. The sticks come in 5 colors and it appears the capacity is tied in with the actual color: skyblue (2GB), pink (4GB), red (8GB), yellow (16GB) and black (32GB). Pricing and availability info have yet to be released, but seeing how this clever combo could eliminate the need for carrying around an extra usb, we’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.

10 New App Store Games To Watch [Dec. 19 - 25]

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 07:40 AM PST

'Tis the season to be jolly, and also for iTunes Connect to shut down for a few days (this is the method developers use to submit games to the App Store).  Amazingly enough, though, a lot of developers were on the ball and got their games submitted so they could be reviewed and out in the first couple of days of the Christmas week.  Among those releases were Dungeon Hunter 3 and Zenonia 4, the next installments of 2 of the most popular hack 'n slash RPG series for iOS systems.  While it sounds like Zenonia 4 might be the best yet in the series, Dungeon Hunter 3 took a step away from its predecessors to provide a completely different type of game play experience.  If you're more into platform games you might give the retro inspired Terra Noctis a try, while strategy fans with attention issues should cling to Strange Adventures In Infinite Space.
