DC Legends review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Campbell Bird on November 3rd, 2016
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: COLLECTIBLE COMICS
This collection-focused, turn-based strategy game follows a pretty bland format that is becoming ubiquitous on the App Store, but it manages to surface some interesting concepts along the way.

Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: WICKED IS GOOD

Rise of Lost Empires

Rise of Lost Empires

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad
By Bonnie Eisenman on June 29th, 2009
Our rating: starstarhalfstarblankstarblankstar :: DISAPPOINTING
Gameloft has handled the controls with an Orc's finesse, and Rise of Lost Empires is a bloated, lag-ridden game that falls far short of its promise.

Finishing up our interview with August, I ask him about what it is like being an iPhone developer in the lime-light, or Celebrity Developer. He talks about how much fun it has been to break out of the traditional role from time to time, and how it has really helped out his programming business.

I also get his opinions on Apple's filing to have jailbreaking iPhones judged illegal, what that means to the development community, and how jailbreaking is actually beneficial to the App Store and making the iPhone a popular development platform. August also tells us why he has avoided it.

Most importantly, August gives us the breaking story about the soon to be released app, YOWZA!!, and how it will change the way you shop and use your iPhone.

Listen to how August met Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman on Heroes) on Twitter, and joined forces with Rick Yaeger from MacMerc, to create a whole new business model for an iPhone app, and how they have tackled the problems of turning your iPhone into a money-saving shopping tool! And it's going to be FREE!

Here is a little taste from Greg himself.



Enjoy!
