wordsworthBookworm lovers, rejoice! There is finally a lookalike game for the iTouch in the name of Wordsworth. Although the visuals look different than that of Bookworm, its game play is mostly the same.

The tiles are displayed in a beehive like manner and you click on letters to form words in order to proceed to the next level. Play either in classic or timed mode.

If it is your first time to play Wordsworth, it is best to check out the help section to know what special tiles are part of the game and what they do. Compared to Bookworm’s flaming blocks, Wordsworth features tiles that contain a timer clock instead and you need to create a word that will include that tile or else …

Other special tiles include the blue tile which is considered a wildcard. Green and yellow tiles increase your score. You can tap the guy image on the lower left bottom of the iTouch screen if in case there will be no more words to be formed.

This games is one of the best there is and I am pretty happy that this game was created for the iTouch. Bookworm or not, Wordsworth is addicting as it is worth it.

towerbloxxThis game by Digital Chocolate is the latest game that has gotten me and my wife currently hooked. The game play is pretty simple. The game starts with a crane at the top of your iTouch screen holding on to a building block. Tap once anywhere and the block falls on the surface. Then the next building block appears. Tap again to try and have it land straight on the next building block. If you manage to do that, you will have a combo possible. The combo has a short timer for you to try and have the next building block land exactly on the same place. If you are not successful, nothing bad will happen. Except that your building will start to get a bit shaky and placing the next available building block will not be easy.

As simple as the game play may look, you might think that the game can get boring pretty soon. Actually, it offers a lot of modes for you to play Tower Bloxx. It has a 2 player mode where both of you could tap on the iTouch screen on seperate areas and try to be the first one to finish building the building. This is not a fun mode though because if one player would tap the iTouch screen, it can disrupt the other player especially if his hand is near the edge of the iTouch. The game also has a city building mode where you build buildings on a land area which helps prolong the game and keep you hooked playing it. New building structures are made available as you progress to more levels.

The game features good graphics and a reasonably fair price for a simple and straightforward but enjoyable game.

heavymachThis new game from Indiean is a tank shooter with a movement similar to that of Metal Slug. When I saw this game, I was impressed with its graphics in the site so I thought of trying it out. Another game to keep me interested. This game is an arcade type shoot ’em game where you guide your tank by tilting your iphone left and right to move forward and backward. Tapping it makes your tank shoot weapons. On its default weapon, you can just lay your finger on the iTouch screen and it will keep on firing automatically.

At first, I was frustrated while playing this game because I could not find a way how to make my tank evade the enemy’s fire. I tried to double tap it to see if the tank would jump or something. Turned out, a level on the lower left of the iTouch screen is the tool to make your tank jump. You can have it double jump too, similar to how Metal Slug’s tank jumps hahaha (that brings back memories). Each mission is divided into 5 levels. As you play each level and mission, sooner or later you will gain experience and you will choose which upgrade for your tank you wish to add. Either movement, defense or attack (see photo below). Movement will make your tank move faster. Defense will add armor to your tank and attack will increase the firing times of your weapon. Along the way, when you destroy enemy tanks and helicopters, you can also add more ammo and life to your tank.

The game is very enjoyable. My only complaint with this is that it is pretty hard to switch to between weapons while in battle especially with an enemy boss. Sometimes, instead of jumping, I accidentally get to tap the weapons selection (since they are located side by side). Still, for a pretty cheap price, this is an awesome game. This is one of my favorites!
