Post #8 : Crazy Cow app

Crazy cow app. One of the new apps I downloaded from the App Store just recently. It was on the top 50′s list so I guess most people already knows about it. But for those who don’t and are looking for new games to kill time, I think this app might just suit you.

The game requires you to bump into smaller cows and grow to become the “prime cow” or basically, the biggest cow. If you don’t want to stick with just a cow, you can work your way to unlock many other animals such as pigs, chickens, dogs etc. by earning more stars to unlock the following levels.

Right now, I’m pretty sure that you’re thinking about how boring it is seeing as we just have to bump into smaller cows, but rest assured, once you start you may not stop. The game uses tilt control and allows you to position your iDevice at 45, 80 and 120 degrees.

With power-ups, this makes the game more fun. Items that pop up not necessarily mean a power-up and I’m pretty sure first-timers will fall for the power-ups that slow you down or reduces your life.

As the level increases, more cows (or animals) will appear and will attempt to reduce your life or block you from the smaller cows (or animals). It’s amazingly addictive and it is fun.

Like I said before, this game would probably be one of the best ways to kill time while waiting for a friend or when you’re bored. Even for those who don’t seem interested, I’d suggest you give it a shot. =)

 

Post #7 : Books Vs. e-Books

Books,

Something we’ve all used at least once in our lifetime.

eBooks,

Something new that technology developed.

Books vs. eBooks which do you prefer?

Honestly, even as the use of eBooks are actually over-ruling the use of normal paper back books, I would prefer the use of normal paper back books.

eBooks are now found in almost any electronic devices such as iPad, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy Tab and so many others. It is definitely one handy thing that is a must-have for people. But for those who have problems with very sharp graphics, eBooks may not be the one for you.

As technology progresses, inventions of many kinds include many high definition graphics (HD) and sometimes, these features may not benefit some people. The high definition fonts and graphics found in eBooks may cause some problems for those who cannot sit in front of a computer screen for too long.

I, myself have tried reading books via an eBook app on the iPad and it wasn’t a good experience as my eyes started to feel tired causing me to stop reading. Definitely eBooks have their benefits, seeing as they are more convenient to bring anywhere as you go.

For books lovers and collectors who has the same problem, normal paper back books should be enough to fill their reading needs. A normal book can still be fit into a bag and can also be brought anywhere. Best of all, you will not have tired eyes after reading for a long period of time. =)

Definitely, everyone should use what they think is best for their own convenience but if you were to listen to my opinion, I would say that books will be much much more simple to handle and people should still own at least one book just so normal paper back books wouldn’t go into extinction. =)

Which would you prefer? Books or eBooks?

Leave a comment! Any feedbacks or comments or opinions will be very much appreciated. =)

Post #4 : Super Junior Shake app

Super Junior Shake. An app I just downloaded and found out that it has just been released on the app store. I think. But for the Super Junior fans out there, I think you’ll probably love it. Eventhough I’ve just downloaded it, I’m pretty much enjoying myself. ;)

It’s a game almost like Tap Tap Revenge except that the songs are Super Junior songs (of course) and you can choose between the tap or shake modes in the game.

Tap mode is the same as tap tap revenge except that there’s a little twist in the long taps. To fully understand how unique it is, I recommend that you try it yourself. ;)

Shake mode on the other hand lets you have a feel of being a DJ. With the record disc. You either slide it left or right according to the beat of the music.

And of course what would the game be without some shaking? :D You’ve got to be careful when you shake your iPhone or iDevice though. But either way it’s still fun!

You will start off with two songs, and from there, you’ve got to collect virtual cards to unlock more songs in the game. As to obtaining the cards, you will have to create notes or to make it short, create your own tap or shake beat. ;)

Definitely the cards will be of Super Junior and for diehard fans, I’m sure it’ll suit your tastes. xD

For those whose iDevices are usually not connected to the internet, you might have a slight problem with it as it requires an internet connection to play the game, but either way, I’d be happy if you give it a shot. =)
