A month or so ago, I reviewed Project MOS, a superb galaxy adventure game and walked away with the impression that a single-player version of such a game would be a best-seller on the AppStore. True enough, the moment I saw Galaxy Pirate Adventure I jumped out of my chair. The AppStore screenshots were delightful and the game play promised hours of fun. I immediately downloaded it and it’s been a joyride ever since.

The new iOS addition to the AppStore, released just last week, is a high quality full 3D space RPG in the true sense of the word. It’s a full-fledged adventure game that puts you in charge of a starship and lets you decide what your fate will be: a frigate-looting pirate or a commodity trader. This sounds a bit like EVE online, but it doesn’t reach that level of complexity. In Galaxy Pirate Adventure, you get to accept both missions that [...]

Whenever you feel like your classmates are putting you to shame with their math, physics and chemistry knowledge, you should check if they don’t have Formula MAX on their iPhones or iPads.

Formula MAX features a vast collection of over 1150 formulas, definitions and theorems from the realm of Math, Physics and Chemistry, with more formulas being added constantly. Despite the enormous database of formulas, the app is available entirely offline, so you can take advantage of its fountain of knowledge in the classroom as well as at home.

Obviously, the main concern for any app that relies on such a big database is organization. But the way information is structured, classified and organized in Formula MAX puts such concerns to rest. The first level of organization is by topic (math, physics or chemistry), and then every topic is carefully [...]

How much time do you waste talking to your friend about your schedule for the next week, struggling to arrange a get together?

But now, SUP is here to make it more easy for you to arrange a get together with your friends.

When you say autumn, you say school, chestnuts and trees shedding their brown leaves. And leaves aren’t the only things falling. Fruits are ripe, sweet and ready to be collected. But there’s no need to get your car out of the garage for a trip outside the city. You can collect fruits right from the comfort of your home with just one download of Fruit Collector from the AppStore.

Fruit Collector is an arcade game that tests your hand-eye coordination skills. There are four modes to play, that include collecting or slicing fruits. You can test how many fruits you can slice in a fixed or endless period of time and how much you can make it without leaving three fruits fall unsliced. Sounds simple? Well, it’s not.

Fruits are falling from the trees faster than you can react, and you can’t predict which fruit is going to fall next. And if it’s not as much of a [...]

Room 9 is Judgement and it is, by far, the hardest room you’ve been trapped in. As a heads up, you’ll have to go through more than 8 rooms to clear this level and you’re gonna need at least one item in every room to be able to resolve the mysteries in the following rooms. There are a lot of things to do, codes are getting harder and harder to crack and time is limited. I won’t separate this walkthrough into items you need to pick up and then all the puzzles, because each room needs items from the previous room to solve. Also, all the adjacent rooms in this level are basically rooms you’ve previously been in. That’s a neat way to keep things in perspective and keep in mind that the whole game is a puzzle, not just individual levels.

Due to the fact that this level is so big, for readability purposes, I’ve divided the walkthrough into two

Enter the Northwest room. Cut the wire on the West wall with the cutter from the previous room and enter a second room – Room 6 from before.

Pick up the tools from the blue tool box on the table and the screwdriver from the red toolbox. Optionally, get the Jigsaw 10 from the green drawer on the East wall. Use the screwdriver to make a crack in the floor, near the table, and grab the gold key.

Take the wooden board from the floor, near the door filled with lightbulbs on the South wall. Take a closer look at the lightbulbs. See how the flickering lights form a four digit code. As before, squint your eyes to get the numbers. Go to the previous room, insert the code to open the vault, and grab Memory Card B and injector. Insert the card in [...]

Vile monsters, magical portals that take you from one danger-filled land to another, and a conquest. Do you think you can handle it? There’s no need to turn on your computer to check out this action filled game. Just grab your iPad and download Melina’s Conquest.

Melina’s Conquest is an RPG for the iPad in which you play Melina, a medieval warrior, whose quest is to save her mentor from the hands of the biggest, baddest and ugliest monster the world has ever seen. Your job is to guide her from one portal to another, until she reaches this villain and saves her mentor.

With every level cleared, you go through the portal to the next level and enter a more dangerous land than the previous one. And if at first you only had to kill a couple of little monsters, wait until you get to the first true villain. That is Gilleon and it will [...]
