9 Awesome iPhone/iPad Role Playing Games

Image
A little while ago we’ve talked about the best RPGs (Role Playing Game) for Android users and now we are taking a look at some excellent RPGs for iOS devices, mainly the iPhone and the iPad. The App Store has hundreds of great RPGs and this list might not be to everyone’s liking, but this is how it goes with games: each player enjoys a certain aspect of the game. While for some the thrill is only in killing NPCs (non player character) or doing PVPs (player-versus-player), others are more interested in the story of the game or how it looks. iPhone/iPad RPGs offer a freedom that other games do not, and that is to explore a world and take part in an epic journey where the hero evolves as he completes quests. 9 awesome Role Playing Games for iOS And because RPGs come in different sizes and flavors  ranging from magic worlds to zombie infested streets, each of them having different features and different gameplay...

DailyApp: Temple Run 2 (iOS): Another Good Run!

Image
It speaks volumes of the fame achieved by the game that for many people, Temple Run is pretty much synonymous with gaming on handsets and tablets. It has been almost a year and a half since Imangi studios (and Keith Shepherd and Natalia Luckyanova in particular) unleashed a game in which you controlled a character whose only job was to run. And run. And run. Why? Well, because you had stolen an idol from an ancient temple and were being pursued by vengeful monkeys. Weird? Well, the world did not think so. The game has been downloaded more than a hundred million times on iOS and Android and spawned a whole genre of gaming called “endless running,” not to mention dozens of clones. And now it has a sequel. Temple Run 2, to its credit, does not mess with the formula that made the first game a massive success. You still end up running endlessly. You are still guilty of having grabbed an idol. And you are still being chased by monkeys – all right, just a single, but giganti...

Facebook for iPhone Now Allows Free Calling for Users in USA

Image
Facebook has decided to follow the steps of Skype and introduced a great new feature for iPhone owners within US. In order to gather even more percentages out of the whole Internet, Facebook has implemented a free-calling feature into the iOS Messaging application, which will allow owners to easily make calls from within the system. The new Facebook calling feature, available at the moment only for US-based iPhone owners, relies on the classic VoIP concept of delivering the message. The system works pretty neat and it takes users only a couple of steps to set up a live conversation. Facebook Free-Call System: A small piece of the puzzle In order to make a phone-call using the well-known social service and to avoid direct carrier charges, iPhone owners can simply launch the dedicated Facebook Messaging application, open a conversation with a partner, tap the “i” icon in the upper-right corner and go for a “”Free Call”. From point on, a pop-up message will arrive on t...

DailyApp: PIP Camera (iPhone and Android): Picture in Picture Magic!

Image
There was a time when cropping a photograph was considered the height of image editing on a handset. Then along came Instagram with its array of filters and suddenly everyone was editing every other picture they took by just a touch here and a tap there. Mind you, it DID begin to get monotonous after a while as similar apps came into play, all essentially doing the same thing, and differing only in the number of filters and effects offered. Which is why we love PIP Camera . For while it does continue Instagram’s tradition of letting you add effects to your images with minimum technological and financial (yup, it’s free) fuss, it also goes beyond the “shoot-it-filter-it-share-it” mania that has gripped most of the image tweaking apps out there. And it does so by adding a picture in picture effect to your images – the PIP stands for pic-in-pic, for all ye into abbreviations. The app is a 30.2 MB download, and once installed lets you place your photographs (eithe...

Daily App: Verticus (iOS) – Free fallin’ was Never this much Fun

Image
Trust Stan Lee to steer clear of convention. The superhero creating legend of the comic world (he gave us Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and many others, for those not too steeped in comic history) has stepped into casual gaming with Verticus – a $0.99 offering for iOS. And at a time when the world is going crazy into endless running games, he has decided to use the same concept. With a spin. Verticus, you see, is a game which is all about falling. The rationale is simple – an alien race called the Obliterators have found their way to the Earth’s core where they are building a machine that will destroy the world. There is only one way to save the day – don the suit of our fearless hero and fall towards the Earth, dodging mines and picking up coins, boosters and other articles the way, and then indeed tunnel to the very core of our planet and destroy the diabloical machine. Think of Verticus as Temple Run in reverse. You control the direction in which your charac...
