Jet Ball Review:

A game where the main aim is to deflect and guide the ball using your pad. Very similar to blockbuster there are lots of levels and features
The three difficulties are:
Slow
Normal
Fast

Star Rating: ***

Verdict: A good time filler but personally that is all. The three difficulties are a nice touch and the online leaderboards are good. Currently free on the UK app store it's worth a download however there are plenty of apps already out there that do the same thing. Well executed but nothing original!

Bumpy road

Bumpy road is a cartoon app. Which is all about two people in a car and throughout the journey you have to collect gems to keep the car running.some gems are high and some are low that's why you control the ground.the further you get in the level more obstacles appear eg water (which you have to jump over)
Here are some snap shots ...

Star rating - **

Verdict : It's is a good app but it is quite hard to control and doesn't really keep you entertained when u play.personally it's not my favourite but I'm not very good at this sort of game anyway but I do think you should try it if it sounds like your sort of game.

Fruit ninja









fruit ninja is a juicy action game enjoyed by millions all over the world, with squishy, splatting and satisfying fruit carnage.become the ultimate player with every slash. fruit ninja is a great quality app as there are many different levels involved and you are always unlocking new things.you can simply slice one fruit or get massive combos.

there are four ways you can play this game...
1) classic - where you slice as many fruits as you can, but if you let three fruits go off the screen before you slice them your game is over.also never hit a bomb it will end your game in one slash!
2)zen mode - you slice as many fruits as you can in 1.30 mins then your game is over so it doesn't matter how many fruits go off the screen you still play on
3)arcade -  you have 60 seconds to slash as many fruits as you can but there are more bombs to distract you!
4)multiplayer - this is great to play against your friends or family with but you do have to sign into game center to play this.

when you start playing this app you get a dojo where you can unlock different blades or backgrounds for when you play. eg - slice 50 bananas in 2 mins

here are some of the snap shots from this app...

Star rating - ****

Verdict: fruit ninja is one of them apps which everyone wants or has on their Ipods.the graphics are amazing as the fruit is so realistic when it gets sliced. i think its good how you can unlock things through out the game as it gives you something to aim for.But the only down fall on this game for me is that once you have unlocked everything and you get more skilled the levels become quite easy but i still enjoy playing this in my space time.

Star Rating:****


Verdict: I have never been a big fan of football games on Iphone/Ipods as the controls frustrate me but EA have done a marvelous job with this version. The players look like the real players and manager mode is even better.
It is pretty hefty in price at £3.99 which seems quite expensive so I advise waiting for a slae which occur if sales are low!
