Probably one of the most important top on the App Store, in the Games category, is the "What we are playing" top. You can certainly the most played games by users. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, a few are free, and the rest include a price tag. At the end of the day, whether a game is good or not, worthy of its price tag or not is strictly up to you, the final user and customer.

On October 04, 2009, INTERSOG LLC released the first version of "Bar Rush", a great game which will certainly deliver a rush experience. You can currently find this application on App Store, under the Games category, available for purchasing and downloading for $0.99 price tag. Even more, "Bar Rush" was developed strictly for the third generation operating system for the iPhone mobile platform (or higher then strictly 3.0).

You can play this game on either iPod touch second generation and iPhone 3G. However, for a full game experience you should probably buy either third generation iPod touch or iPhone 3GS. The story line is catchy. You are a bartender and you have to serve certain kind of drinks to different characters within a time frame. Your mission is to become a Master Mixologist (only if you successfully collect enough tips). The game play is straight forward, just mix all sort of drinks, shake and serve them without missing any specific time frame. In order to play this game without getting fired, you need some management skills onboard, to keep a close eye on the time, customer, and the drinks orders. If you ever played "Diner Dash" or "Sally's Spa" then you certainly know what to do within this game.


The graphics are really good, with nice details, and colorful environment. However, this is natural to be so, since "Bar Rush" doesn't involve to complex animation, or motion fluidity. The sounds are nice. However, you are able to choose to listen to your very own iTunes Music Library (within the next upgrade). A nice feature is the lifestyle learning which will actually teach you drink recipes and what they are made out, from basic recipes to complex drinks.

Therefore, this game is also about learning, not math, or science, but drinks recipes. This game will provide you with about 50 ingredients, which combined will allow you to create about 80 different drinks, within six different level of difficulty (increase difficulty that comes when the game evolves). Beside the nice graphics and good sound effects, the developer also included funny dialog, and excellent, intuitive controls.


Overall, "Bar Rush" is an attractive fun game, with pre defined elements from reality. The game play seems very real, for anyone who actually worked as a bartender. The game also provides you with a training mode, since it is not extremely easy to get used to from beginning. After passing the training mode, you can get started with the real game, mixing ingredients; making great drinks within a specific time and earn tips.

Also, you can use your iPod touch or iPhone's accelerometer sensor to mix your ingredients. Also, the faster you serve the drinks the better the tips will get. You can post online your highest score, for a general ranking. For only $0.99, "Bar Rush" is an excellent game, with high replay able value including searchable lead board. If you want a fun game anchored in reality then "Bar Rush" is for you.

Are you looking for that perfect simple game to keep you entertained in the small coffee breaks or maybe on your way to work or from work after a long day? You are probably going to be thrilled to know that you can find on App Store under the Games category a funny, simple game which may remind you of spider-man.

On September 18, 2009, seller Robert Szeleney released the first version of "Rope'n'Fly 2", the successor of the "Rope'n'Fly" which had to be discontinued due to legal issues regarding the characters appearance. Even so, this might not be a bad thing since the sequel is pretty good, maybe even better than the original game. Even more, if you chose to buy this game within the first available version you should rest assured that the next versions will be added as free updates.

The 1.0 version is now for sale on App Store for only $0.99 price tag. This game is developed for both iPod touch and iPhone running the second or third generation operating system for the iPhone mobile platform. The game play is quite simple, you just have to use the ropes to swing from one building to another (spider-man anyone?). The main purpose is to do that as long as you can without falling. The graphics are simple, but fluid not needing the most advanced processors from the latest iPhone 3GS or iPod touch 3^rd generation. In the graphic department I should also remind the ragdoll effect of your character, the "3D" buildings which don't look like 3D elements but the depth added makes them 3D, real time changing weather, new game models, and new buildings.


The controls are not necessary intuitive but they are easy to use once you get the bigger picture. Just on a tower to throw your rope, the second touch will release the restrain, and you should be able to use the acceleration to simply fly, and when you are close enough to the next building just touch on it to through your rope onto it. To offer a complete package, the developer added some nice sound effects. But in case you might want to listen to something else you should know the game enables the possibility of listening to your own playlists. Play as much as you can to obtain unlock able achievements. Even more, this game features the Open Feint integration, and the multi user support.


Believe it or not, "Rope'n'Fly 2" developer has two versions submitted to Apple. Until now neither the 1.0.1 nor the 1.1 was released on the App Store. The first version, 1.0.1, improves the sound settings, and improves several issues and user interface. The next version, that should be released until October 30, 2009, will bring a new game play mode, with the first released city, Vienna. Overall, "Rope'n'Fly 2" delivers a fun, stress free game for a small price tag of $0.99. This game is either lovable or hate able, and the only one's opinion that matters is the potential buyer's opinion.

On February 04, 2009, seller John Kooistra released the latest version of "Blue Attack!" one of the best dual stick shooter games available. You can find "Blue Attack!" on App Store under the Games category with the latest available version, 1.1, downloadable for $1.99 price tag. This game is compatible not only with iPhone but also with iPod touch running the second or third generation operating system for the iPhone mobile platform. The game's title is quiet straight forward. Your goal is to attack the Red planet.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
The war between the Blue planet and Red planet seems to last forever. Your mission is not only to attack Red planet, but also to win the war, by building your armada. In order to create as much units as you can, you must collect the Red's ship wrecks and rebuild them into Blue units. The story line is simple but catchy, while the game play is really fun, improving the game experience to the max. However, the graphics are not a work of art, but it will do, since it brings up a unique vibe while playing the game. Even more, it is better that this game has simpler graphics, since it makes easier to play it on the first and second generation of iPod touch and iPhone 3G.

Also, the graphics work smoothly and the image rendition is above average. To complete the user experience, the developer included excellent sound effects, and a semi soundtrack. Even with all the music features embedded, you can choose to listen to your own playlists in case you would like to. By adding to all this equation the high replay ability feature, you get the excellent user package. Your ships are fully customizable, not only in design but mostly within the weapon department and the capabilities department.


Also, play until you will get the highest game score possible and record it into the Global high score feature. Also, you don't need to worry about getting a call while playing since "Blue Attack!" will auto save in time, before the in-call will end the game. Hopefully, this mistake of lacking the iPod touch and iPhone of multitasking will be corrected in the future with a proper 4.0 operating system. The controls are also excellent.


You can either touch to control or tilt your ships. All the controls are intuitive. A somewhat bad element is the oversized icons on both left and right side of the display. Otherwise, you won't get any reason to complain, just touch the screen in any place you want to send your ships, use the action icons to either shoot, or lock, or launch missiles. With the "Blue Attacks!" you are getting into a different world, where the black is only compensated by red color and blue color.

Fight with the blue color for the supremacy in the solar system. This game will provide sufficient action, combined with fun and will help you relax and not stress yourself with the complicated action. Overall, "Blue Attacks!" is an excellent game, which not only worth the $1.99 price tag, but also worth your time when playing it.
