Space Path for the iPhone and iPod Touch Review

Let's start the week off easy with a look at a freebie for the iPhone and iPod Touch: Space Path. The idea behind Space Path is simple: navigate your spaceship from one end to the other while avoiding obstacles, and keeping your ship within the safe zone. The gameplay is frustrating, but in the fun kind of way, that makes you want to try again as soon as the game is over. 

Unfortunately in reviewing the game, we experienced graphics issues and screen flashing that required game restarts. Here's a look:

MileBug for iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

As a longtime freelancer, I know how important it is to track your mileage for billing clients, and for adding up those tax deductions at the end of the year. Knowing something's important, and doing it are two different things. Trying to keep a paper log has always proven to be a hassle, and easily forgotten for me and others.

Enter MileBug. Milebug for the iPhone and iPod Touch aims to simplify the mileage logging process, and it does thorough job. You can categorize by vehicle, business, etc, and best of all, generate reports that are then emailed to make tracking your miles a breeze.

AngryCat for the iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

Cats can get angry. And how will you react when cats get angry? Don't know? Sounds like you need an AngryCat simulator. Of course this particular cat isn't all that angry until you start poking at him and provoking him. So perhaps the moral to the story is, don't make cats angry. AngryCats claims to help you be prepared. Oh and Happy April Fool's Day. Enjoy:

Asphalt 4 For The iPod Clickwheel Review

It's been awhile since we reviewed a clickwheel game, but we're back on the wagon now with a look at Asphalt 4: Elite Racing. 

The game pickings for the clickwheel are quite thin, to say the least. And for some reason, creating a great racing game for the clickwheel seems to be a an impossible task.. A bag of hurt, if you will.

Asphalt 4 isn't a great game. And it's certainly not a $4.99 game. The steering controls are frustrating, and the graphics are mediocre. Could someone please make a great racing game for the clickwheel iPods?

Night Stand for iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

When is a pretty face more than just a pretty face? Or in this case, is a pretty face enough? Night Stand offers a classy assortment of alarm clock eye candy to replace the built-in alarm functionality. But is that enough to justify its $1.99 price point? Well, that's in the eye of the beholder, but for most, the answer is probably no. The look of these faces, especially the default blue LCD is great. And if you have a set of docking speakers, having Night Stand on your iPhone will help class up the joint. 

However, there are only four of those classy looks to choose from. Maybe we could cut them more slack on the price with more included alarm faces. Also kudos on the refreshing new alarm sounds as well. If you're a stylish sleeper, and $1.99 won't keep you up at night, then give it a shot.
