Lemonade Tycoon
The Tycoon series is one that is beloved by people around the world – or at least, was one as the series has found itself outshone by games that can take full advantage of next generation graphics and the like. Fortunately, this generation of gamers doesn’t have to be full of people who’ve never had the joy of a Tycoon game and it’s available on the iPhone to boot – the game is Lemonade Tycoon and it brings to the twenty-first century gameplay that remains fresh today.
Conceptually, it remains similar to its aged brethren. In Lemonade Tycoon, your task is to carve out a Lemonade based empire – not realistic, but it’s still a lot of fun. You start out the way most tycoons portrayed in the sixties do, with a simple lemonade stand by the roadside. From this meager and humble little stand you can begin to shape your empire through various upgrades, from your location to your equipment and even things like salesmen and advertising campaigns.
Advertising campaigns. That’s a surprising amount of depth for something that sits in your hand but it is one that launches the games playability and re-playability into the stratosphere.
If anything, the worst complaint brought on by the original Tycoon games is the way it tends to drive your through the days whether or not you’re ready or prepared. Lemonade Tycoon lets that pressure rest in favor of controlled turns that stop at the end of each hectic day.
Another addition to this iPhone port is that you can use your personal playlist as the game’s background. The music in Lemonade Tycoon for the iPhone is done well enough, but if you want the latest band to play a rock anthem to your rise to power, the option is there. The graphics of the game are rock solid – very slick, very polished and gives the impression of quality. It definitely lives up to its shine with intuitive controls and gameplay
All in all, Lemonade Tycoon stands at the forefront of a long legacy of Tycoon games and delivers exactly what it promises – the ability to make a virtual fortune with a simple glass of lemonade through a wide variety of methods. Casual and somewhat more serious players can appreciate the depth that the game can offer to either kind and thus, is definitely a good option for people who want a change of pace from the many action games littering the gaming landscape.
It speaks for the activity’s fun when a person is glad that the video game is almost nothing like it and that’s what Flick Fishing for the iPhone makes one think. It distills all the tangled lines and worms and the like and leaves you with the heart of the fishing experience – the line, the reel and the beauty of nation. If you want some fishing on the road, you may want to take a glance at Flick
Epic Pet Wars
Epic Pet Wars goes against everything our parents ever taught us. We’re not supposed to like it when any living thing gets hurt. We’re not supposed to make animals fight each other, but lo, have times changed, especially on a digital level. Thanks to Pokemon, it makes perfect sense to some people to hurl trained animals into battle against each other and Epic Pet Wars continues this tradition.
It’s an iPhone based App that also works through Facebook. [...] Continue Reading…

Terminator Salvation
The problem with movie to video game adaptations is that they’re rarely good. In fact, it’s unsettlingly difficult to think of a good one. It gets worse when you try to bring it to a mobile platform and Terminator Salvation for the iPhone continues the horrendous legacy of bad adaptations. The console version was horrendous and got boring really fast, which is good in the worst possible way as the game s far too short.
While fulfilling the [...] Continue Reading…
