What's on my phone? Game Centre games.

Ok time to start the fun stuff. Apps are what everyone associates with the new breed of smart phones. Gone are the days of "Ping Pong" and the likes. For the Iphone series and most likely the Android based smart phones are in the region of 250,000,000 apps (applications).

With the recent firmware upgrade (4.01) , Iphone users now get the Game Centre.














Once signed up it provides the user with a unique gaming name and various options which include, looking up high scores, finding friends to challenge online etc. In this blog I will concentrate on 3 Game Center games I currently play. You never know we might be playing vs each other very soon!

1. Angry Birds. 59p from Itunes.













A simple game where you shoot a variety of birds from a catapult with the intention of killing comic pigs!  This is a pick up and play type game with beautiful graphics and funny sounds. I find it very addictive with the "just one more go" factor there in heaps.

2. Cut the rope. 59p from Itunes.



The object of this game is to feed the sweet to the monster by cutting the ropes attached to the sweet. The actual process of feeding the monster is easy but becomes very tricky when you try to intercept the various stars located on the screen.
Again a very absorbing game, the sweet and ropes perform exactly as you would expect if it were real life!

Last but by no means least

3. Fruit Ninja. 59p from Itunes.



Another simple game idea that is totally engrossing. The idea is to slice the fruit pieces by swiping your finger across the touch screen whilst trying to avoid the bombs. It is game over if you slice a bomb or let 3 bits of fruit fall to the bottom of the screen!
Again this has gorgeous graphics and sounds, maybe one day I will actually post a decent score!

So there are my 3 current favourites. At 59p you cannot go wrong and as all 3 are Game Centre based, not only can you play alone but also online and lets face it, getting one up on your mate is a good thing!

Well I hope you enjoyed the post. My Game Centre name is Keebsuk so chuck me an invite and take pleasure in beating me good and proper!
