April Fools - We're Back to Normal

Posted by Jeff Scott on April 1st, 2011

In what must have been the least convincing April Fool's joke ever, we switched our site to 148Farts for a few hours early today. If you missed it, screenshots are below.

We pulled a quick joke this morning and announced we were changing the direction of the site into 148Farts. Changing the site design, logo, and even reviewing 6 fart apps and changing our familiar 5 star ratings to 5 fart clouds. We even created a Top 148 Fart Apps page. But now, we're back to normal. Though we'll keep the Top 148 Fart Apps list up, just for a little fun.

We had to do something for April Fools Day, and we went low brow, pulled a fart joke. We hope you enjoyed it, or at least indulged us, while it lasted. Ah, the smell of a good joke (damn, there we go again).

Thanks to my co-conspirators: Rob LeFebvre, and Carter Dotson.

Here are a few screen shots of the joke. An archive to our whimsy. Back to work, covering the very non-crappy apps and games on iOS.

Oregon Trail: Origins Announced

Posted by Bryan Barletta on April 1st, 2009

The Oregon Trail is one of my all time favorite games and gameloft did an amazing job of remaking the game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. If you haven't had a chance to check out the game yet, definitely check out our review.

While everyone is still excited about the apps recently launch, gameloft has decided to announce a prequel to their latest success entitled The Oregon Trail: Origins. Here's the quick write-up we've received from gameloft:

Gameloft Announces The Oregon Trail: Origins Featuring Cave Men Going West

Grab your sticks and stones, take your woman by hair, and pray that you make it out West!

Before there were settlers, there were cavemen. Often forgotten, largely ignored, they paved the treacherous roads of the Oregon Trail before there was an Oregon Trail.

Gameloft's newest title brings The Oregon Trail: Origins to all the wannabe Neanderthals of the 21st century. The game will be available for all platforms.

We're as excited as you are to check out this amazing new title and will keep you posted as more information breaks. We've got two great screenshots of the game after the break, so make sure to check them out!
