A GAME WITH CHARACTER

Liven up the sport with 8 fun characters, fully modeled in 3D. Customize your golfer with a selection of gear and clothes you can unlock to improve your skills.

GOLF AROUND THE GLOBE

Discover 108 holes of golf across 6 varied locations like Mount Olympus Golf Club, Aztec Temple, a Winter Wonderland in Greenland, a tree-filled Bavaria, the spectacular English Countryside and even the wild Royal Safari in Kenya. Each spot has its own challenges to overcome that grow in difficulty.

SUPER-POWERED

Each character has their own unique super power that can give them an unexpected edge. Pull off unbelievable shots by stopping the ball at will, making it super-sticky or by even rewinding time.

PLAY A ROUND WITH FRIENDS

Grab a friend and play against each other in one of 3 different multiplayer modes: Online Wi-Fi, Local Wi-Fi & Bluetooth. You can also challenge the world by climbing the online leaderboard and unlocking achievements on Gameloft LIVE! for being one of the best golfers around.

A WHOLE NEW GAME

Spice up your game with new modes for a totally different way to play. Enjoy an in-depth Career mode and new challenges like Shoot Out where you eliminate 1 player after each hole, and Closest to Pin where players put it all on the line with a single shot.

Pros

1. Amazing graphics & gameplay!
2. Each player have their own “super power” like heroes
3. Simple & very user friendly interface
4. Feel like playing a consol game like Nintendo Wii

Cons

1. Online multiplayer need to register account, it’s not as seamless as using gamecenter to handle the online multiplayer match up
2. Is it possible to allow players to connect an iPhone or iPodtouch to their iPad via bluetooth and use them as the golf stick?
3. More golf course! More more more!

Overall, I find this game very addicting and want some “explosive force” golfing.

It’s slightly expensive on the appstore however it’s worth it’s value for gamers who love golf casual gaming.

Color Me!!!

COLOR ME !!! ONE OF THE BEST COLORING APPLICATION FOR iPHONE & iPOD TOUCH NOW AVAILABLE FOR iPAD !!!!

A coloring booklet for children at the age of 2-6 years. Diverse pictures and color palette will trigger the development of your child’s imagination and shape his/her senses.

A very friendly and intuitive application enables your child to easily create extraordinary pictures.

Only a touch of a finger and the selected element of the coloring will be filled with colors.

Shaking the iPad will cause the cleansing of the picture and therefore provides endless possibilities for coloring of the pictures.

It is also possible to save the masterpieces of your child in the image gallery. Then the child will be able to place them on the desktop of your device..

Allow your child to discover the world of colors by means of “Color Me!”

Pros

1. Very powerful yet simple user interface!
2. Makes most kids proud of their own painting!
3. Able to bring the creativity out of most kids

Cons

1. Can’t share the image via email, twitter but it’s not critical as you can do it after exporting to photo library
2. There’s no “Undo” option in the advance controls
3. You cannot import your own “uncolored” images
4. Cannot see your friends creations via gamecenter or other social network leaderboards

Overall, this app is one of the best coloring application I had seen on iOS appstore and yes I had seen some crappy ones.

This app really set the standard for coloring app for the future developers to meet but I hope this developer can further improve by adding more features.

Tiny Tower

Tiny Tower lets you build a tiny tower and manage the businesses and bitizens that inhabit it!



★ Make money to build new types of floors and attract bitizens to live and work inside.


★ Special events and VIP visitors will earn you special perks as you build your tower towards the clouds.


★ Customize the look and placement of each floor and the bitizens that live in them, and upgrade your elevator.


★ Game Center integration to let you see your friends towers, back up your game and earn awards.


★ See what is on your bitizens’ minds by peeking at the “BitBook” virtual social network for your tower!

Pros

1. Cute graphics & great user interface makes this a excellent freemium time management game!
2. You do not need to keep playing to earn money, just stock up enough items to sell in each businesses you get $ when you go back in!
3. Your kids will love this game and keep quiet in the car!

Cons

1. There is only one copy of save game in the game center which makes it inconvenient if you have multiple devices playing the same game by different people.
2. If you mess with the date of the device, it will screw up the game
3. If the game crash, you do get to load the save copy of the game…but you can’t really control when that copy was saved!
4. When you get to higher levels, it takes longer to build a new levels without using the “Tower Bux”

Tips & Tricks

1. Always stock up the 3rd items first, the 3rd item takes longer time to run out then the first 2 hence you can time it to have all three items stocked up at the same time if you never use “tower bux”.
2. Always keep good employees & evict the bad ones, higher relevant skills will make the business cheaper to buy stocks to sell hence make more money
3. If you have time, help bitizens up the elevator to earn some coins or even get some occasional “tower bux” tips!
4. VIP visitors will help you plenty hence keep an eye on the VIP icon when you are in game.
5. Find missing person mini game is a quick way to earn “tower bux”, keep a look out for them too!
6. Put your bitizen in their dream job will make them happy! Hmm
7. BBook seems to be a virtual facebook for bitizen to express their virtual opinions in the game but too bad it’s not by real people

Overall, I find the developer had created an addictive platform similar to other free time management games. The only things I can think to improve on it is to make a real in-app chat between friends of game center…but this need Apple to wake up and give the developers an API for that.

Game Center is so similar to other leader board that needs some additional feature which like multiple save games & in-app chat posting (like twitter) with reply options & Direct private messages.

This game is free & universal which makes it a must have for all!

FIFA 11 by EA SPORTS™

FIFA Now’s 11! NOW WITH LOCAL MULTIPLAYER & “SUPERFAST” GRAPHICS FOR iPAD 2, this is the biggest and best soccer game on the App Store! The larger Multi-Touch screen on iPad delivers an incredible measure of visual excellence, and the graphic performance on iPad 2 makes for a truly scintillating experience. Featuring authentic teams, superstar players, precision controls, and more friendly play, FIFA 11 on iPad really kicks it to the next level!

VISUALIZE THE GAME IN VIVID DETAIL ON iPAD

HD-quality graphics make every detail on the field spring to life. Team colors are ultra vibrant. The green of the grass is even more glorious. Capture the passion and power of the world’s favorite sport with an unprecedented level of visual clarity that you can only get with iPad.

REAL PLAYERS, TEAMS, AND LEAGUES – UPDATED FOR THIS SEASON

Take the field with superstars like Real Madrid’s Kaka and more! Match up more than 500 teams from real leagues around the world and march into action in 35 authentic stadiums. The world of soccer is truly in your hands.

BETTER TOUCH CONTROLS LET YOU PLAY WITH PANACHE

The new D-pad and button layout options provide more gameplay sophistication for veterans and simplicity for casual players. Control the ball and the action with 360° player movement and gesture-driven skill moves. Swipe a player to make an attacking run! Pull off defense-splitting passes, rifling shots, penalty kicks, and pro-style tricks! Control of the action is even more precise and responsive on iPad.

TAKE THE FIELD WITH A FRIEND VIA LOCAL WIFI OR BLUETOOTH

Create your own friendly matches and match skills with your most personal opponents on iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch via Local WiFi or Bluetooth Multiplayer.

PLAY AS ANY TEAM YOU CHOOSE IN MULTIPLE MODES

Make your squad the team to beat in the Premier League, La Liga, MSL, and more. Play in Season Mode, Tournament Mode, and Quick Match (if you prefer to kick it in more casual style).

Cons

1. The movement control need to get use to it as it’s not like real joystick but it’s manageable
2. The tapping or dragging on players can give extra “controls” or “tricks” but it’s too far away from my thumb on the iPad making it tough to execute it properly.
3. The spectators are 2D graphics that does not give the impression of a lively stadium, no crowd wave or chants?
4. Why can’t we trade players, I know it’s not a management game but it will be nice to have a custom super star team of our own hehe and play the highest difficulty hehe.
5. The commentators repeats too much of their conversations, hope to have voice packs to better randomize their conversations 
6. The iPhone version sometime crashes on the 3rd gen 8GB iTouch running iOS 4.2.1.

Overall, this game is worth it’s value and it’s a must have for soccer fans! It’s addictive & fun and this game completes the iOS platform to make it really a gaming device.
