Farkle Addict
01 year ago
Description
I’ll admit I never heard of this game before, but apparently it is HUGE all over the world so I figured I would give it a try. Farkle Addict, created by Robert Suh, is a dice game where you try and outscore your opponent by taking turns rolling the dice to accumulate points. You gain points by making certain combinations of “hands” such as 3 of a kind, straight, etc. However, if you roll and there are no combinations left…FARKLE! (you lose all your points from that round). The first player reaching 10,000 points or more wins!
This game is very simple but, as the title suggests, very, very addictive. The gameplay is easy to pick up and the customizable rules allow for multiple variations of the game to be played. There is also multiplayer enabled so that you can try Pass-N-Play against a person next to you or play online against someone across the world. The only issue we had with this game is that the pop-ups can get quite annoying, especially the ones that are ads for completely random apps. With that being said, this game is still one that you will want to check out, especially as it is FREE to download. You will be glad you did.
Presentation
Nice display with your scorecard on the left and the dice being shown on the right.
Sound
There is no background music in this game and some of the sound effects are quite unique, to say the least.

Well, the developers at Ludia have now given us that opportunity with their new FREE app, Family Feud & Friends! Challenge your Facebook friends in this classic game based on the tv show, with more than a thousand questions to be answered.
For those not familiar with the rules, Family Feud is a gameshow that includes questions that were answered by one hundred people. Your job is to correctly guess the top answers that were given. The player that scores the highest after three rounds wins the game and advances on to the Fast Money Round. The Fast Money Round is where you will have to answer five questions in 60 seconds for bonus points to be added to your score. Check out the daily high score rankings and follow your friends as they progress through the levels. Now if they could just include commentary from the host Steve Harvey, this game would be perfect.

Nitro Nation Drag Racing
01 year ago
Description
Creative Mobile really nailed this game to perfection with it’s depth and realism. Probably the best drag racing simulation out there for devices so far, Nitro Nation Drag Racing is played by over 60 million players and counting. This FREE game has grown to be so popular that there is even a forum website dedicated to all things dealing with the game, and can be viewed here.
To say that this game is filled with depth is an understatement. With over 50 name brand cars, tune options, customizable features, and performance upgrades, this game gives you that real feel of tuning up your own car for a straightaway drag race to the finish. Nitro Nation Drag Racing gives you the ability to customize almost everything, as well as test out your launch and shift timing to give your car the best performance possible. The career mode features 10 stages where you can go up against different cars with a difficult boss opponent at the end of every level. If you are looking for a quick match, you can face computer opponents of different skill levels or challenge your friends (or the world!) with the online multiplayer feature. Be sure to scoop this one up…and leave your opponents in the dust…
Presentation
The cars in this game are actually name brand and can be recognized just by their look. The side by side racing view works perfectly for drag racing because there is no turning involved.
Sound
The realistic sounds the cars make, from the revving of the engine at the starting line to the cool hissing noise when you shift or use your Nos tank, will get you pumped up for every race.
Controls
The controls are simple and very responsive. The shift knobs are placed on either side of the screen, as well as a Nos button if added to your ride.
Replay Value
High – Multiple cars to own, tune, and race against opponents within the game as well as online will keep you busy.

The Game of Life
01 year ago
Description
Turning the classic board games that we have all cherished and enjoyed growing up into apps for our devices is always a good idea. One of the benefits of having board games on your mobile device is that you no longer have to worry about losing game pieces or cards, as everything is right there in the palm of your hand. Thankfully, big time developer Electronic Arts has been able to bring back that same nostalgic excitement we have all enjoyed with The Game of Life.
The objective of the game is to accumulate the most money out of all of the players before retirement. Throughout the game, you will be faced with tough life decisions to be made such as whether to attend college, which career path to take, which house to buy, as well as many others. While there is no on-line multiplayer, The Game of Life offers “Pass ‘N Play” where you can play with up to three friends or against the computer. Whether you decide to settle down and pursue the safer route to success or decide to make the risky decisions in life, this classic game will keep you busy striving for that millionaire status!
Presentation
The 3D environment that is shown while your game piece moves around the board is impressive. Along with a map available, you are able to zoom in and out by pinching the screen in order to view the upcoming spaces.
Sound
Tired of the in-game song that gets repeated over and over? Take control by playing your music from your iTunes instead!
Controls
The most controlling you will do in this game is rotating a spinner. Hard to grade that.
Replay Value
Medium – While there is no real incentive such as achievements or a ranking system to play the game over and over, the fact that this game is tons of fun to play with others is enough.
