Those Birds May Be Angry, But These Trucks Are Evil [Trucks and Skulls Review]

(written by guest author Tim Giron. follow Tim on Twitter @timgiron)

I am enamored with the physics shooter puzzle type of game and Appy Entertainment has delivered a whole lotta love in spades with whipped cream on top for their recent releases of Trucks and Skulls [iTunes $0.99] / Trucks and Skulls HD [iTunes $1.99]. The premise is that the player is given a set of trucks to decimate the smirking skulls. Why? Why Not, I say. Each truck has a particular set of characteristics and using them to the best of their abilities is key to scoring big. Varying the power and angle of the delivery are the only controls to master.

Like most games these days, the player is given a few easy levels to get their sea legs, but the puzzles ramp up in difficulty after that. With each successive level, new concepts are added: some are new defenses for the skulls and some are new types of trucks to counteract those defenses.

At first, it makes sense to have the trucks flying through the air at the targets. About eight levels in I looked at the screen and thought it would make more sense for the truck to travel over the ground. Sure enough, I just pointed the launcher at it’s lowest possible angle and voila, the truck sped off as trucks often do. It was at this point that I was hooked. Appy has delivered a game that gets high marks in my book for originality and attention to detail.

OK, so what’s different between the iPhone and iPad versions? Plenty, as I soon found out. While the standard game is quite enjoyable on the iPhone, the HD version really shines on the iPad. View the game field big and bold, or pinch it down to get the full picture. And then there’s the level editor… Yes, you heard me correctly… a level editor. Build your own dastardly creations and share them with others.

This is the first game I’ve seen that has a screenshot button as well. When you take a screenshot this way, it gets a cool frame and you can share it with your friends. Of course, bold visuals need bold music and the screaming guitar soundtrack fits right in as you travel from Hell’s Highway to the Haunted Wasteland. At 99 cents [iTunes] for the iPhone and $1.99 [iTunes] for the iPad, these games are a screaming deal, firing on all cylinders.

Apple Approves Orgasm Radio – Streaming Live Sex & Live Orgasms

“We have decided to remove any
overtly sexual content from the App Store”

The above announcement appeared in an official Apple email last February … informing developers that their overtly sexual iPhone applications were being removed from sale due to a reversal of policy. Over 5,000 apps were banned over the course of one weekend.

“We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone. Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone.”

And that would be the famous Steve Jobs statement from last April.

And finally, the above would be Orgasm Radio … an application Apple approved just last week.

LMAO – nice to see Apple doing such a great job maintaining their “moral responsibility.” Want an app that is clearly overtly sexual, just check out Orgasm Radio’s description …

Launch Orgasm Radio and you’ll be treated to LIVE SEX and LIVE ORGASMS (yeah right)! Amazing how Apple deemed Orgasm Radio (advertised as “radio porn”) tame enough for their puritan App Store as the app reads like a marquee found on San Francisco’s red-light district Broadway Street. Perhaps Apple now feels porn is morally acceptable … just as long as you’re not watching it.

Brace yourselves … Apple’s new moral interpretation should certainly open the door for such “radio” applications as Doctor Drew’s Loveline, KOME and Playboy Radio … LOL!

Developer Slams Angry Birds & Doodle Jump To Help Promote App

Memo to developers … choose your words wisely. Slamming someone else’s application and customers within your app’s description makes you look like a TOTAL ASS …

LMAO …

This is not Doodle Jump or Angry Birds
but a serious app for success!

Ouch … boy those God’s-gift-to-earth ABuzz developers really know how to stick it to us childish loser gamers.

Previous Overtly Sexual App Returns As Wallpaper App – Hot Mug Shots Wallpaper

Back in the good old days, when Apple approved such crap as “Asian Bikini Fart”, “Epic Boobs” and “Girls In Hand Bras” … there was a certain overtly sexual application catering to rednecks. Simply put, Busted Hot featured mug shots of hot chicks.

Since then, Busted Hot has been removed in the Great App Store Cleanup conducted by Apple in January 2010 … or has it?

Under the guise of an iPhone wallpaper application, Busted Hot has reared its ugly head … Hot Mug Shots Wallpaper.

With Hot Mug Shots Wallpaper it’s basically … same shit, different day. Pictures of women taken from law enforcement databases … packaged into an iPhone application … and sold for profit. Joy!

Not sure what Apple is smoking these days … but if previously banned products can now return as wallpaper, we should shortly see an onslaught of Drunken Girls and Beautiful Boobs WALLPAPER applications.

Antoine Dodson Bed Intruder Song Now An iPhone Game [Video]

He’s climbin in your windows – He’s snatchin your people up …
Hide your kids, hide your wife – Hide your kids, hide your wife

We freaking love Antoine Dodson and the Bed Intruder Song. Headline reads – “Bed Intruder Singer Moves Family Into New And Safer Home” … hells yeah! Dude goes from living in the projects … preventing a rape … going off in a local news interview … getting auto-tuned … Internet fame … Billboard Hot 100 … all the way to a brand new home. Atta boy Antoine!

And as the world takes notice of Antoine … so do app developers. Shortly after Antoine’s rise to fame, Bed Intruder Song soundboards began appearing in the App Store. Currently there are about a dozen of these soundboard applications available for the iPhone … allowing users to enjoy their favorite lines from Antoine right in the palm of their hand.

Meh, soundboards are so last month … the first Bed Intruder Song iPhone game has appeared for sale, appropriately called … Bed Intruders.

Bed Intruders mirrors the events from last July, in Hunstville, Alabama … where an intruder climbed through a bedroom window and attempted to rape Antoine’s sister Kelly. Only this time, Antoine is standing over Kelly’s bed, armed with a baseball bat … beating the shit out of those bastard intruders.

The game has this 8-bit tower defense retro feel and is integrated with OpenFeint providing leaderboards and 14 hysterical achievements like … “Got Yo T-Shirt” – defeat 200 intruders in one game … “You So Dumb, So Dumb” – losing a game … and “Snatched Yo Wife”.

Since Bed Intruders is not an “officially endorsed” application, the natural in-game music of Bed Intruder Song has been omitted (thus avoiding copyright issues) … however the developer (Mighty Rabbit Studios) is attempting to contact Antoine’s peeps in efforts to collaborate and include the must-have soundtrack.

Which brings up an even better idea … the Bed Intruder Song franchise! Besides video games, we can see Antoine Dodson figurines, plush toys, cereal, comic books, candy bars, trading cards and of course the ultimate … a Hollywood Motion Picture called “Run And Tell That, Homeboy!”
