Top 5 iPhone Casual Games
Many iPhone gamers are not hardcore like those you find on the Xbox 360 or PS3. I think that casual iPhone games are perfect because you are always carrying your iPhone right? And whenever you have time here and there, it's always fun to fire up a casual game and try to beat your high scores. Casual games are also very safe for children, excellent for kids, adults and even our Grandparents! Here are my top 5 casual games for the iPhone.
Angry Birds: One of the most popular games ever to hit the Appstore. In this game you will have a building or a structure that you must demolish in order to destroy a cute green-headed monster. You must launch different kinds of birds at the buildings to destroy it, while each bird will have different attacking abilities.
For example one bird will split up into smaller birds attacking multiple targets another will have a boomerang effect. Each bird will have a different strategy to use, and when mixed and matched gives each stage a challenging yet satisfying experience. $.99 at the Appstore here
This fun game features really easy controls with single tap game play. You must time your jumps correctly to get gold coins and ultimately, to stay jumping! Mistiming is forgiven initially, but as the pace picks up you have to have lightening fast reflexes and perfect timing to get it right.
There are 2 modes, Challenge and Time Attack mode that will keep you occupied for hours. Beautiful 3D moving backgrounds and fun animation makes this a fun game for only $.99 (50% Holiday Sale Price). They are having a contest at the moment with the 3 highest scores posted on their Facebook fanpage will win a $100, $50 or $10 US iTunes Gift Card. $.99 at the Appstore
Doodle Fit: One of the top rated and best selling Puzzle games in the AppStore. The objective of this game is really simple. You are given a large shape with many small pieces that when put together; fit the large shape on the screen.
Initially the game is incredibly easy, but as you move along you will be presented with more diverse shapes such as letters and insects. The game's Hint function will help out those who are stuck and a great casual game to pass the time. $.99 at the appstore
Veggie Samurai: Somewhat different from the Fruit Ninja game, you will be slicing vegetables instead of fruit. This game offers 6 exciting modes, similar yet different from the Fruit Ninja game. One nice feature allows you to cut vegetables into smaller pieces for combo points. This means you will be using 2-3 or even 4 fingers when cutting vegetables adding to its fun action.$.99 at the Appstore
iZones for iPad
iZones is a great app for those who are flying overseas for business or for many other purposes. This is an app that takes out the math and guesses for time zones when you are flying in other areas. One great thing about this app is that it automatically calculates the time of your destination which really is helpful especially when you have to plan meetings or events.
Also this app isn't always for flyers as those who are always need to have conference calls, seminars, etc with people in other countries. That way you can use this app without waking them up in the late or early owners!
There are 24 time zones, 16 are subdivided and it has 270 major cities programmed in. Also a great thing is you don't need to be connected to the internet to use this!

Fitness Builder Review
Fitness Builder is a app for those who need to get into shape like I do. It has a huge library of exercises that include pictures on how to do it correctly and videos as well. One great thing I love about this app is that it also has trackers and calculators to make sure that you are doing things in a effective manner to get rid of that beer gut, or in my case, get rid of my pizz agut!
One thing I wish they did was speed up to app, it takes 30 seconds for it to load! seriously is that normal for an app?
Anyways this app is great for those who are serious about working out, and I definitely recommend it.
Motionx GPS Review
MotionX GPS is a great app for those who travel frequently...OUTSIDE!! This is the app for those who like to travel outside or travel and it has many great things that you need like a compass and very useful tools. There are many maps that you can view such as satellite maps, terrain and street maps and you can also see your locations and the number 1 reason why I like this app is (if you have a 3G iPad), has a geocoding function that helps you in the case of being lost!
If you have a WiFi Version it is useful but those who travel around do not always have the luxury of WiFi so this app is better suited for 3G iPad users.
Pulse News Reader
Pulse News Reader is a RSS Reader that puts your favorite feeds and articles into a clean and and beautiful and really takes advantage of the ipad's beautiful screen. Articles are placed horizontal and are scrollable from left to right or right to left. You can view them in landscape view or in portrait view.
The new version of the allows you to get RSS Feeds related to the topics you search for and you can also add your own RSS Fields as well.
Fruit Ninja HD
Fruit Ninja HD was a popular iPhone game that they brought to the iPad. The basic gameplay returns where you slice and dice fruit that appear on the screen but the iPad version includes multiplayer. The multiplayer allows you to complete against your friends in a Zen Mode where you try to destroy as many fruits on the screen in 90 seconds as you can.
There is a dual classic mode where where the person with 3 strikes loses and that is for 60 seconds.
There are combo bonuses for slicing up fruits and things like that. One thing I didn't like is, i prefer more adult themes where I would be slicing and dicing creatures and evil zombies than actually fruit. But the fruit is still fun!
This game has constant action and I would recommend it to anyone.
Battle of PirateBay
The Battle of Pirate Bay HD is a line drawing strategy game where you have to defense your home from evil pirates. You have 3 ships and you must protect the ongoing siege of pirates. There are 3 different maps, Captain's Cove, Barrier Islands and Anchor Bay and you can unlock these extra maps when you complete level 5 of the previous maps.
This game focuses on strategy and you must always position your ships to defend against the pirate ships. Also you must be careful because ammunition can run out, and this game really presses you, it's a good game and I recommend it to line drawing and strategy fans!
Party Place - Marble Mixer
This is a multiplayer game where you must put the marbles into the other people's goals. It has 3 game modes, table tactics where you have score in the 3 scoring zones. You have to put your marbles into the 10,25 or 50 point holes to get the points respectively. They give you 10 marbles and you have the score as many points as you can.
The next mode is Monster Picnic where you put the marbles in a mouth of a monster that turns in a full cricle, and you have 60 seconds to get as many marbles in the mouth as possible. The last is Space Mania where its similar the Monster Picnic but in a space mode so it makes thigns alittle more difficult.
This game is for multiple players, so it would be quite boring to play by yourselves so play with your friends!
