App Review No. 29 Moto Heroz

Strong Points:

Great graphics

Variety of levels

Good amount of level packs/cars (11 in total)

Nice physics

Unique level design

Leaderboards are all right and don't seem completely out of reach

Weak Points:

Hard to get coins except for just completing levels

Massive difficulty spikes

Power ups are difficult to control sometimes

Upgrades are unoriginal

App Review No. 28 Tiny Tower

Strong Points:

Lots of floors

A variety of floors

Things aren't too expensive

You don't have to restock the tower daily as some things don't run out for a long time

Lots of different jobs

Bitbook is a nice addition

Bit bucks are easy to come by

Addictive

Weak Points: 

All to soon your tower reaches the sky and you can no longer compare its size to anything else

VIP's are a bit useless

Elevators can be ignored as you can rent rooms with bit bucks

Trying to find someone that looks very similar to everyone else in a tower that is 100 floors high can be very boring

Challenges are boring and more or less useless

App Review No. 27 Stickman Downhill

Strong Points:
Addictive
Brilliant graphics
Good physics
Challenging
Lots of bikes
Lots of levels
League Cups (Europe etc.) are great

Weak Points:
Some difficulty spikes are too big
Frustrating
Some bikes require you to have accounts on other things e.g Facebook which some people may be too young to have.
Repetitive after a while

App Review No. 26 Fruit Ninja

Strong Points:
Great and innovative gameplay
All three modes are good fun
Lots of achievements
Lots of unlockable blades and stages
Premise of a Fruit Ninja is original
Lots of levels
Addictive
Competitive
Minigames and tournaments add more variety to the game (removed as of version 2.3.3)

Weak Points:
Blades/stages are only unlocked by spending the in games currency of starfruit (as of version 2.0 and removed as of version 2.3.3 - now unlocked by leveling up)

Besides graphically the blades and swords don't affect gameplay at all (no longer an issue as of version 2.0)
There aren't enough types of fruit!

App Review No. 25 NinJump Rooftops

Strong Points:
A good, solid endless runner
Good use of the enemy powerups from the last game
Good pick up powerups
Upgrades aren't ridiculously expensive
Multiple planes of view make it different from other endless runners
Addictive!

Weak Points:
Missions are basically useless except as a coin bonus due to there being no levelling system and therefore no competitiveness with missions
Some enemies (ninja, squirrel and bird) are really common and others (bee and panda) are less common but their power doesn't increase
Not enough upgrades (it would be nice if you could upgrade the enemy powerups as well)

Video Game Character of the Month - November 2013 - Red the Bird - Angry Birds

Video Game Character of the Month

November 2013

Red the Bird

Overview
Don't you think that the character of Red is a bit strange, I mean he's the leader of the Flock and yet he has no power? This might just be me but if I were Red, I would at least try to become a bit more powerful. But anyway, a little bit of info on Red:
