Urinal Test

This isn't even fun. A bathroom and you pick what urinal to stand in front of. it could be fun if you had a challenge of new guys walking in and you have to move or something. This wasn't fun and if it was it would have been short live only 25 questions.

Urinal Test
verdict LOSE IT

papiMissile

Sunflat(the gang behind the papi games) aren't doing anything new but they always take a simple game and make it work better. It might be just because everyone loves that smiling papi. With that said PapiMissile is a lot of fun. I started playing it and was ready to dismiss it becaue I have played ScribattleLite which is basicly the same idea with three guys shooting at things falling from the sky. After a few rounds, I thought I was going to be ready to quit but I got hooked and kept trying to up my high score. Which is really the only fault with sunflat games is when you submit your high score you have to quite the game and it opens in safari brower. I like that they have the world rankings but I'm not a world ranker so I just want to have a record of my top score.

PapiMissile verdict KEEP IT

Banner Free

simple scrolling action. Too simple. need speed control it is too slow to even read if it scrolled faster then it would be much better. Ived used to to send messages across the room a few times. Pretty cool but I really needs a little bit of speed control.

Banner Free
verdict LOSE IT because it doesn't look like there an an update coming anytime soon

Whiteboard: collaborative Drawing

everyone remembers being a kid at a white board one marker for you and one for your friend then you start drawing in each others space and eventually end up drawing on each other. This was hopefully going to capture some of that fun, but doesn't. When ever I have tried there has never been anyone willing to join my drawing, I think they were all busy with a tic-tack-toe game. maybe in a room full of iphone you could have some fun with it.
Whiteboard left me bored.

Whiteboard: collaborative Drawing
verdict LOSE IT.
It has a decent rating in the app store so maybe I'm missing some of the fun

Zombie Attack! free

You must protect your house from zombies by setting up guns on your lawn. The zombies in classic fashion are slow moving and you think it will be easy but then before you know it there are several zombies wandering straight for your house your busy running around upgrading your weapons and they slipped by. Stay the course and plant a new gun and stay calm. You move your player with the tilt controls and plant/upgrade weapons by earning money (from killing zombies, I guess you pic-pocket them). You cant just plant guns anywhere each one needs a good radius to operate.
The game is simple and fun(and has a cool icon)


Zombie Attack! free
verdict KEEP IT

TanZen Lite

A puzzle game where you match your blocks to match the shapes. I had this on my phone for a while and never used it and once I solved the first puzzle I became addicted quickly. The controls are simple and almost fun to spin the pieces around. Good at making you think and will keep you busy for a few hours. The lite version has 36 puzzles and full version has 450. I haven't solved all the puzzles yet but a .99cent upgrade is reasonable.

TanZen lite verdict KEEP IT and play it

Comic Touch Lite

Take pictures or use picture library to create comic captions and send them in an email. This app a lot of good to talk about but stumbles in some areas. It is simple to add speech/thought bubbles and edit the text but a little harder to remove them but I was trying to cram a bunch of speech in there and couldn't touch the bubble without hitting the button to make a new one. I'm glad the developer allowed saving the comics and emailing them in the free version. I wish the email program used the native apple MAIL one we are used to. They do a good job with almost copying it and still have access to your contacts. The abilty to make" email favorites" is nice so you can make a group of 'family' who want to see you in a new apartment and a group for 'friends' who want to see you passed out at a party. Saving the comics doesn't show up in your photos you have to open the app to view the saved comics. I doubt these change in the full version.

Comic Touch Lite verdict KEEP IT it the hidden features aren't ones that you miss, still can email comics.
