Here’s an app that easily makes me ravenously hungry. It’s Hasbro’s Easy-Bake Cupcakes!. It’s a cute app that lets people make, bake, decorate, eat and share virtual cupcakes from their iOS device.

All the user needs to do is pick their Easy-Bake cupcake mix, fill the pan with cupcake batter and water then mix and slide the pan into the Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven to cook. A quick shake of the iOS device gets the cupcakes out of the pan (if only reality were that easy) then users can choose from a vast number of frostings and candy toppings to create their perfect cupcake.

9 different cupcake batters are available with 17 types of frosting, 15 types of decorations, 9 kinds of plates and 6 tablecloths. That’s a heck of a lot of choice.

As is quickly apparant, Easy-Bake Cupcakes! is an ideal app for kids. Adults may well be cynical enough to notice the corporate advertising within but will still no doubt quite like to eat cupcakes after messing around with the app. For kids though, this is a fun way of ‘creating’ cakes. They can even share their creations via email or Facebook afterwards.

It’s out now and it’s free.

Bop It!, the frantic reaction based game, is quite a hit here with my young cousins, much as it was when I was a kid. So it’s nice to see Bop It! offered in another format. Sure there was an iPhone version earlier this year but what child can resist an iPad version of Bop It!? Exactly.

Priced at $2.99, Bop It! HD offers everything we all know and love about the original Bop It! game. Fast reactions and careful listening are vital in order to succeed with the choice of playing alone or teaming up with friends in the new All Play mode, only available in this iPad incarnation.

Multi-touch controls and the accelerometer ensure that the only restriction here is the player’s ability to react in time. 4 different modes, Classic, Basic, Extreme and Blitz, keeps the action feeling fresh. Players can even unlock Bopjects as they progress.

All the fun with a cool modern twist. The ideal way to entertain the kid and at a mere $2.99. Check it out now.

Hasbro Announces 3D App Experience

If the late 2000′s/early 2010′s have brought us anything, it’s the undying corporate love for all things 3D. Even though consumers haven’t exactly come out in droves to buy into the technology, TVs, game systems, and movies have all gone 3D, and now the iPhone is now following suit.

Hasbro today has announced their foray into the 3D market with a device that is unlike any other in the app world. Instead of coming up with a 3D hologram gimmick, Hasbro, reportedly in collaboration with Apple, is releasing a fairly massive accessory called My3D. With the device, Hasbro, the toy making giant, is promising three dimensional gaming, realistic virtual travel, and seemingly tangible interactive entertainment.

The device itself looks like a fairly large pair of blue binoculars with a slot to hold an iPhone or iPod Touch. Interestingly, the device is planned to spur an entire 3D segment of the App Store, with some large developers already signed up to work with the device. Dreamworks Animation, with its new hit “Megamind,” has signed on, and 3D video content from Sony, the Discovery Channel, and IMAX will be coming shortly. Hasbro is also working with the Los Angeles Convention and Vistors Bureau to 3D travel experiences to the touristy places around LA.

“The idea of being able to be somewhere in Los Angeles, in this 360-degree environment, to be in the shark tank, to be able to swim with the fish and chase after the fish. These are really breakthrough immersive experiences,” said Brian Goldner, president and CEO of Hasbro.

No word yet on the release date, but with Apple’s support in the development process I’d expect for the My3D to be sitting on the shelves of Apple Store’s soon.

Here’s hoping that the My3D doesn’t go the way of the Virtual Boy… the last in-your-face consumer 3D product that I can remember.

Trivial Pursuit

Trivial Pursuit

iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad
Trivial Pursuit for the iPhone is a faithful recreation of the classic board game that sold ten kajillian copies. Fortunately for us, the difficulty has been ramped down a bit from the original, evil blue boxed version but is a bit harder than some of the more modern creations. With it's nice game balance, new gameplay options, and inviting animation, Trivial Pursuit is a real winner.

Scrabble's most recent update—the full-fledged integration of Facebook Connect—adds some competition to what was already a great word game. While the port does have plenty of flaws, it's still the same amazing game of strategy, luck, and knowledge that's been an incredible success for decades.
