Nude Runner Girl Edition Streaks To The #1 Overall FREE App
Last summer, French video game studio, Piky Team, released their first iPhone game … Nude Runner. It’s a simple application in which you control a naked guy (yes, you actually have to touch the naked guy to move him – ewww) … avoiding security guards from tackling you by the ball sack. The longer you dodge authorities, the higher your score.
Nude Runner has done fairly well in terms of downloads … approximately 150,000 in the first 3 month, while peaking to the #68 overall free app.
But Piky Team was not satisfied with their mild success. They were determined to kick ass like Angry Birds and released a pinker, more feminine version of their nudie game … Nude Runner – Girl Edition.
In the process of swapping out penis for vagina, Piky Team learned a valuable lesson … naked girls rule, naked boys drool. It only took Nude Runner – Girl Edition FOUR DAYS to reach 200,000 downloads and become the #1 overall free application in the entire App Store. Congratulations Piky Team!
All You Zombies, Show Your Faces [Zombie Escape Review]
(written by guest author Tim Giron. follow Tim on Twitter @timgiron)
Developed by Viqua Games and released by Chillingo a few months ago, Zombie Escape [iTunes $0.99] is a line-drawing game with enough additional plot elements to keep it interesting for a short time. The premise is simple and well established: guide the humans to the helicopters before they become lunch for the undead horde that mills about, ravenous with an ever-present hunger.
The first few levels are extremely easy, with each one introducing something new: a new weapon, a new type of zombie, a new rule, etc. By level 7, things start to get tricky, since you have to call in the helicopters yourself. After level 8, you will also unlock a survival mode.
For weapons you have access to snipers, bombs and meat. Yes, it appears the zombies are partial to sirloin and can be effectively distracted by a nice prime rib or filet mignon. Hey, where to I sign up to be a zombie and get some of the primo grub?
You earn money by completing the levels with flair: kill extra zombies, don’t lose any humans, you get the picture. Between levels, you use your loot to upgrade your weapons and believe me, you’re going to need the extra firepower in the higher levels.
A quick check of the iTunes reviews for the game reveals some disgruntled users, mainly due to crashing. Playing on my lowly 3G, I found that I needed to start the game with a freshly rebooted device to have a satisfactory experience. The game utilizes the Crystal system for online scoring.
Even if it’s not top shelf in the graphics or sound departments, the game is certainly worth the 99 cents you will shell out. Sure, there are better line-drawing games and better zombie games out there, but it will take some doing to complete the later levels.

Minutes ago, Doodle Jump creators Igor and Marko Pusenjak of Lima Sky released some freaking sweet iOS 4 iPhone 4 Doodle Jump wallpapers … based on their latest Halloween update.

Danger! Dodgeball, Will Robinson [App Review]
(written by guest author Tim Giron. follow Tim on Twitter @timgiron)
I haven’t played dodgeball since gradeschool, but I still remember the feeling when those red rubber missiles strike. I am happy to report that Danger! Dodgeball for iPhone/iPod Touch [iTunes $0.99] and Danger! Dodgeball HD for iPad [iTunes $1.99] appear to leave no welts.
The game has one of the better "training" modes that I have seen, taking you through all of the skills necessary to do well in the survival mode. And this ain’t no walk in the park, er playground. Your opponent is one tough schoolyard bully. He’s quick, he’s accurate and he’s not your friend.
The controls are simple and intuitive. Tilt left and right to move and dodge. Tilt forward to throw the ball. As you tilt forward, you can also affect the flight of the ball by adding a little side motion. It feels a little clunkier at first on the iPad, but once you find the range of tilt necessary to make the moves, it gets easier.
There are a set of powerups available to give you either health or special shots: "giant ball" is just that, a huge ball to throw for extra points; "shotgun" gives you three balls to throw at once; "multiball" allows you to throw a succession of balls rapidly for maximum striking opportunities. The "shotgun" is also handy for hitting both the opponent and the occasionally appearing graffiti artist as he marks up the back wall.
Not to be outdone, the bully gets some special shots of his own, including a fantastic to watch "matrix style" set of slow-motion balls that are particularly hard to dodge. The HD iPad version sports some additional power ups including a wicked curve ball and the ultimate defense, a force field.
The game is integrated with OpenFeint for global leaderboards. The game sports both music and sound effects that can be independently turned on or off. The authentic "poonk" sound when two balls collide in midair is especially hilarious.
At 99 cents for the iPhone version [iTunes] and $1.99 for the iPad version [iTunes], you get more than your money’s worth. It’s a great action game to just pick up and play whenever the mood strikes you to relive childhood activities.

Zombies Ate My Baby – We Bought This App Solely Based On Its Name
Rarely do we purchase an app solely based on its name … actually, we lie … we never have (although we were close to pulling the trigger on the Lesbian Videos application). Well that all came to an end the other day when we discovered Zombies Ate My Baby [iTunes $0.99] … this iPhone game had us at “hello”.
With a name like Zombies Ate My Baby, we’ll refrain from an in-depth, comprehensive review … pretty much all you need to know is that the game features a hot chick (Cheyenne) and she shoots zombies = WINNER!
Zombies Ate My Baby (love writing that) is well made, polished, contains killer graphics and is totally entertaining. Gameplay is simple – yet highly addictive. There’s OpenFeint integration (achievements and leaderboards), various game modes and cool comics which guide you through the entire experience. For 99 cents, the app provides tons of zombie blasting fun … this we like!
But besides the kick ass features described above, Zombies Ate My Baby has yet another bonus … an original theme song. This tune is so epic that it is now the official ringtone of our iPhone 4 … a real head-turner when our device starts belting out the lyrics – “Zombies, Zombies, Zombies … Ate My Baby!” … hear it for yourself by clicking the promo video below.
All Aboard! for First Class Fun [Train Conductor 2 iPhone Game Review]
(written by guest author Tim Giron. follow Tim on Twitter @timgiron)
Train Conductor 2: USA [iTunes $0.99] by The Voxel Agents has quickly become one of my favorite games, offering a pitch-perfect blend of sights, sounds and silky smooth gameplay all wrapped up in a universal app package. The brief tutorial that starts things off introduces the game mechanics: numbered trains enter from either side of the screen and you have to create a temporary switch to guide them to their correct track while avoiding collisions (you really don’t want an NTSB investigation clouding your resume). Once you’ve got the hang of things, you’re off to Miami to take control of a beachside monorail system. These are relatively slow moving trains, giving the player the a chance to improve their switching skills. As the round progresses, faster moving express trains appear, keeping this location challenging.
Once you’ve safely delivered a certain number of trains, the next location on the map is opened up. Nashville and it’s apparently haunted by the ghosts of long forgotten musicians. I found this location to be the easiest for high scoring. Since they are incorporeal, there are no collisions, but the red demon trains must be delivered to the correct track. And these ghost trains move very fast. Playing this level on the iPad, I found the multi-touch to be extremely responsive as I switched trains with both hands.
After scoring another hundred trains delivered, it’s time to visit the Big Apple where you are put in charge of 5 subway lines. This was by far the most challenging location for me to play since you have to route the trains around pillars and the tracks are labeled with both numbers and letters. This level requires an extreme amount of focus to navigate successfully. The attention to detail that the developers have put into this game is really apparent in this level since the subway lines are authentically color-coded.
Once you’ve passed the 300 trains mark, it’s time for another trip into the ghost world for the next location: Las Vegas. Here, the gameplay changes up a little bit since you aren’t switching the trains between the tracks. Instead, you have to work a little pick-n-flick to save the ghosts before they fall into the traps set up at the center of the screen. The entire game, and particularly this level, really gives your hand-eye coordination a workout. It’s a great way to hyper-focus your noodle during a busy day!
At the 600 trains delivered mark, you get to visit my home state, Arizona, for a trip to the Grand Canyon, where you have to keep the steam trains from plunging into the gorge below (talk about pressure). I should mention that you can revisit any of the locations that you have unlocked as well. Since each level plays like it’s own game, it’s fun to pick and choose. My daughters both love the game, but they each like different locations best.
I haven’t yet reached the score to unlock the Roswell, New Mexico location which was recently added, but I’m sure there are aliens involved. Also planned for a future update is a Seattle trainyard. The replay value of this game is very high and at 99 cents, this universal app is a steal. I am quite surprised that the game isn’t in the top charts, since it is definitely in my top ten.
