Infinity Blade 2 ★★★★★ ($6.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is an epic sword fighting game with a touch of RPG. Sequels in movies are rarely as good as the first but in video games, their expected to be better - with Infinity Blade 2, it does that and so much more on an already perfect game. The graphics speak for themselves as its comparable to the PS3 or XBOX 360. The game play is outstanding and no other can match the intuitiveness of the touch-slash-sword methodology. The intriguing story follows from the first to a full featured and ultra cinematic presentation. The original Infinity Blade was the 2010 iOS game of the year and so will this. Infinity Blade 2 is without question the greatest game to come out to the iPhone or iPad, ever.
Superman ★★★☆☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is a 2D game that lets you take control of the Man of Steel. For such a powerful and classic character as Superman, you would figure there would be many well made video games. Well there are many iterations in history but none are any good. Oddly enough, this new iOS version is arguably the best Superman game yet. The game play is quite simple but intuitive and it just works. You get to roam around Metropolis as well as space doing what he does best, saving the day. There is an actual plot, told in comic book style. Although the game is a relatively short 18 missions, any Superman fan should pick this up for a mere .99 cents.
Pocket Body: Musculoskeletal ★★★★☆ ($29.99 / App Store) for the iPad is an interactive atlas of the human anatomy. This medical and reference app is an anatomically accurate human character with nine layers of musculoskeletal, neurovascular, and internal organ graphics in great visual quality along with details of each part. An exceptional buy if you’re a medical professional, student or just interested in the human body in a very specific and thorough way. Pocket Body: Musculoskeletal is the closest thing to a cadaver you can get without actually having a dead body, or the mess.
Call of Mini: Double Shot ★☆☆☆☆ ($1.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is a top down dual joystick co-op zombie shooter game. On the surface and at first glance this is a pretty nice game. But after a closer look you will realize this is a shallow, extremely repetitive and greedy game. The cute and nice graphics with a fairly robust upgrade system (of which will cost you real money to fully upgrade) is not enough to warrant a purchase on this game. The game play works great but each level is literally the same as the last with the only difference being more baddies. Even though this is a paid app, there are ads specifically placed in places by the navigation buttons so you can click it by accident and much of the game can not be completed without actually spending real money. This is one of the worst examples of a greedy developer. Shame on you Triniti.
Agenda ★★★★☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is a minimal and gesture heavy calendar app. Connected to the iOS’s built in calendar, Agenda is stripped of all unnecessary elements without losing functionality. The end result is a beautiful and highly accessible calendar with a very intuitive gesturing system maximize speed. Similar to Calvetica, this app focuses on minimalistic design, clean simplicity and ease of use with great results. If the built in calendar app is not good enough for you, Agenda is definitely one of the best ones in the App Store.
Lifelike Craigslist ★★★★★ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is the perfect Craigslist app. There is an enormous amount of Craigslist apps (free and paid) that range from crap to great, Lifelike Craigslist is exceptional. If your a frequent Craigslister, you must get this app. It is fully functional like the website but with even more features and usability. The app looks incredible on the iPhone and even better on the iPad. In fact its so good that you will dismiss the actual Craigslist website altogether.
