Reported on this little free gem back in the BrainBlenders days...and it still holds up well today in spite of the overwhelming number of cool gsmes I have on my iPhone. enjoy
Games in flash on the net....ahhh the 2000's. Like Atari in the early 80's.
If you don't own an iPhone, I understand, but I have officially found your reason to buy one if you want too.
Here's what you do: ladies and gentlemen put your current cell phone on the floor, go put some boots on (or clogging shoes), jump with all your might, land directly on top of your current cellular and destroy it. Make up whatever excuse you need to in order to convince anyone concerned regarding a financial decision of this caliber, because you just had aford bring the TRUTH about your new phone.
And the truth is: forget the touch-screen! Old news. Don't worry about the visual voice-mail, it's for hags. The clean lines and seamless integration with iTunes - who cares? Hottest little ditty on the cool kids wish-list? Pfffft! The reason to buy a new iPhone, two words - Cannon Challenge. Link to App Store.
This little baby is the end-all-be-all for video games. Not too hard, not that thought consuming. It is the modern day Tetris for mobile gaming enthusiasts. Bold statement for me to make? HELL YES it is.
But, I've got experience, reason, and a variable of believability going for me.
Experience - been gaming on a handheld since Coleco Head to Head Football.
Reason - it's free and from Discovery Channel, they make educational crap you know!
Believability - I walked into the software programmers offices today touting my love for this game was given confirmation that it was in fact the greatest app ever on the iPhone and reason to celebrate. As a matter of fact, I owe Scott a great thanks for the picture of his "Winning Score" that I have posted above. And in doing so, found the only glitch on the game so far - that upon his final winning shot Cannon Challenge could not take being beaten and told him via his perfect score that he had the won - and subsequently also lost.
Small price to pay for the greatest game yet, enjoy your cannon!!
I have gone back and forth about buying one console or another, having owned a couple in my lifetime, and been through every hand held known to man, but have never broken down and purchased a PS3 or XBox 360. Now I have too, because I have to play Grand Theft Auto IV. That's right, I don't just want to play GTA IV, I really NEED to play this game.
Truth be told, I really don't want to even play the game (you know, missions and such), I just want to steal some cars, run over some pedestrians and drive around explore. That's the best thing about the GTA series, it let's you just look around. Go damn near anywhere and see what they built. The amount of detail and space in the game itself is extraordinary. It is better than any other video game I have played that doesn't have to be interrupted by people who play it all the time, and will kill you. Sure, the MMO's have lot's of space and plenty of options for running around. But, can you steal a car in WOW? How about a bike in second life? Buy some Uzi's and shoot at authorities in a Sim's game?
I think not, and that's why I gotta...
