Bounce The Bullet 1.0

IMG_6015

Once in a while, we will come across a game that is mindless violence. Here, for example, is one of it. The best thing is I was actually introduced to this game by someone who thought it was a great game for people who are under lots of stress. The game makes use of the OpenFeint system which means if you have an account there, you can post your high score to the website to show off. *bitching*

Mocha Remote Desktop 1.0

 IMG_5013

This is the software that most techies will end up searching and installing on any smart phone. The Remote Desktop will allow you to connect to any Terminal Server / Remote Services machines out there. It’s great if you’re on the road and suddenly you want to connect back to your office server to perform some diagnostic check.

Quake 3 for iPhone

IMG_5001

Well well well … looks like they actually managed to port over Quake 3 to the iPhone. Since the game is technically more graphic intensive, I would suggest trying this on the iPhone 3GS.

Zen Bound 1.2.2

IMG_4078

Here’s a complete new take on games on the iPhone. This is Zen Bound (from Secret Exit) which is a game that has been described as “A calm and meditative game of wrapping rope around wooden sculptures”. Well, that actually summarises the entire game into a single sentence.

Terminal – Prevent your iPhone from worms

Alright. You now have jailbroken your iPhone and everything seems fine. Then all the sudden some hero decided to write a worm which infects jailbroken iPhones. BUMMER! What can you do? For those who don’t know, iPhone runs on a modified Mac OS core. This is loosely based on a UNIX-like environment. Once you have installed OpenSSH on your phone, you would open a SSH connection to your iPhone with a default root password of “alpine”. This is what those worm writers are riding on to get into your iPhone.

Need For Speed Shift 1.0.0

Another great release in the Need For Speed range. As usual, this has been brought to you by the good fellas at EA Games. NFS:Shift concentrates more on keeping on the best racing line rather than mindless driving and taking out the cops (like in NFS:Undercover).

Daily Mugshot 1.0.1

Here’s a fun app that anyone can download and enjoy with their iPhone. It’s not really a useful app, but heck it can be entertaining (and challenging) to keep a daily log of yourself. Maybe if you try hard enough, you can see yourself turning old :D

This application requires internet connection (3G, EDGE, WIFI) to work.

LockInfo 1.1.14

Coming from a Symbian and Windows Mobile background, I really miss the ability to see all my upcoming appointments, SMS and e-mails the moment I turn on the phone. However, I then found this really cool application (jailbreak iPhone is required as you need to install it from Cydia) which allows you to do just that. It will show you a summary of information on the Lock Screen of your iPhone.

Avatar 1.0.6

Another game from the famous Gameloft developers (same folks that brought to you GTA look-a-like Gangstar, ,Diablo’s clone Dungeon Hunter and Mortal kick-some-ass Blades of Fury). Most of their games incorporate the standard on-screen joystick controls which has its own pros and cons.

DoodleJump 1.13.2

My first iPhone review. Let’s try to keep a standard template so that we can reuse the format for all future reviews (used for games and applications).

Graphics

The graphics are still the same old DoodleJump with lots of new features. It is still having that look & feel of hand drawn thing-a-magic.
