Boost app review





Boost is all about speed, this game is set in a tunnel and you have to try and dodge the boxes and other moving objects without hitting a thing! Throughout your play you might land on boost pads where your game will begin to speed up you can get many of these in a row but begins to get hard to control.if you are on a boost and you hit something don't worry you wont of ended you play you can carry on but you lose your speed, if you hit a box when your not on a boost you will of ended your play.
You can get many different ways of playing this game such as...

Time Trial- This is where you have one minute to get as far as you can through the level so you need speed boosts to help you.but if you hit something you will lose seconds but you can gain seconds by gaining boosts.
Survival-where you don't get boosts its just seeing how long you can last but there are more obstacles to watch out for.
Classic- this is just the normal mode where the rules are the same

Star rating: ****

Verdict:The graphics are great quality and is a very addictive game.the further you get through the levels the harder it gets so it is a challenging game.this has got to be one of my favorite games at the moment, because it doesn't matter how many times you have played on it it never gets boring.the only improvement i think it needs is  that you should have a difficulty setting because it has the classic but I think it should have easy medium and hard. this would let you improve in the game and give you something to work for.

Quell App Review

1 million+ downloads of Quell so far, hitting No. 1 in several countries!






A charming zen puzzler that is sure to test your brain and capture your heart!

Quell has been critically-acclaimed for its 80+ levels of ingenious gameplay, gorgeous art style, and haunting soundtrack.

The objective is simple: slide a droplet around a layout of obstacles, traps and pathways, until you have collected all the pearls. Underneath this simple gameplay lies a world of intricacy!

Quell's appeal lies in its gentle, soothing mood, which makes it a great way to unwind.



Personally this is one of the best puzzle games on the App Store at the current moment! Here are some of its best features:


Features:
* Game Center Achievements and Leaderboards
* Universal support for iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad
* HD and Retina support
* Over 80 levels of cunningly crafted puzzles
* Gorgeous hand-painted art style
* Custom soundtrack by renowned composer Steven Cravis
* Perfectly balanced difficulty curve





Star Rating: *****


Verdict: I have given this app 5 stars as the creators of the game have been extremely generous and creative with the game. They give you over 80 levels to crack and it's not one of those puzzle games which is easily completed. A well executed app in the current market and a great time filler to take your mind off things. You could play it for hours!


Currently FREE on the ITunes App Store

Fat booth

Review
Making your friend into a fatter version of themselves and then sharing the resulting hilarious picture with all your other mates on Facebook or Twitter is incredibly childish. It is also side-splittingly funny and a hell of a lot of fun.


If your android phone or Ipod touch device has a camera then this is a must have app.The idea behind the app is that you can take a picture of someone else (aligning eyes,mouth and chin for full effect)after waiting for the results to generate you definitely wont be disappointed!




There are a number of similar apps from Pivi & co:
1) Geek booth
2) Ginger booth
3) Bald booth
4) Aging booth 
5) Zombie booth 


Star rating: ***


Verdict: This is a hilarious app which you can really repeat over and over again but still be funny. Personally I think some of the similar apps aren't as good as they don't even look real also the picture doesn't come out as well as the demo says it will. Just be careful on android if you download it; it will be fine and work well at the beginning but after a couple of days it does begin to crash and can become jammed. It is quite hard to remove but it is worth taking the risk as it is a very clever and funny app.you can download it on iPod touches even if you don't have a camera but you can only play around with the demo faces not your own which isn't really worth it but if you can take pictures you definitely need this app.


Currently this app is valued at 69p which is worth it but just make sure you have a camera before you buy.

Angry birds App






Review
Angry Birds is one of the best selling applications across the world as it is highly addictive. It's basically a puzzle game in which players use a slingshot to launch Angry Birds at pigs who apparently stole their eggs. Pigs are protected in different castles and players can use unique destructive powers of the Angry Birds to destroy the pigs. Angry Birds features 120 levels, each level require challenging physics-based structure demolition, logic, skills and bird force to destroy the enemy.


There are 5 different types of angry birds which are used throughout these levels.








*You have the black angry bird which you can catapult into the tower,as soon as it touches something it will blow up and knock down half of the level if you aim it right.
*The yellow triangle angry bird works well in wood levels as it bursts through wood or hard surfaces quickly,because once you have flung this bird it will rapidly speed up to get through harder surfaces.
*the small blue bird which works best with glass, during its flight through the air it splits itself into three smaller birds so your aim is bigger,this helps because it can knock down more of the level in just one go.
*the classic red angry bird just stays itself it doesn't have any extra features, simple but useful
*the white egg shaped bird will fly over the level and drop a bomb , but your aim has to be right otherwise it can miss quite easily.
*the green angry bird is used as a boomerang, you fling it from the catapult and once it has passed the target you touch your device and the bird acts as a boomerang.


Star Rating:****


Verdict: its a classic game and it has great graphics (Hd retina) its does get really addictive but at least its a good game to play day after day. only downside of it is that the levels can get quite repetitive after a while and they are quite similar to past levels.But a bonus to the game is that the updates are very generous as they come with loads of new features.




This game is currently 2nd on the Apple App store and is currently priced at 69p which is really good value!
