Rock, Paper, Scissors, iPhone App Review

Today's app has a long name, so let's just get it out of the way right now: Ben's Somewhat Spiffy-looking but Ultimately Craptastic Rock-Paper-Scissors Game." (We'll call it Ben's RPS for the rest of the review) Sure it's a long name, but it might also be the most honest name for an iPhone app yet. That title tells you exactly what you're getting.

The graphics are nice (dare I say, spiffy) and the play is fine, but there really isn't much to do except pick rock, paper, or scissors (craptastic?). Then a grumpy old man insults you, regardless of your performance. There it is in a nutshell. Is the app worth 99 cents? Probably not, but given all the apps out there that promise a lot more than they deliver, we're happy to give Ben 99 cents if it leads to greater honesty in the app store.
