Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
Today is a great day for iPhone gamers with the release of Cube on the App Store. Cube is a first person shooter for desktops, and now it’s been ported to the iPhone. The best news of all is that it drops at a very attractive price…free.
But, as you might suspect, it’s not perfect. This version of the game has frame rate, texture and memory issues. But, it’s still free.
Cube is actually a rather ambitious project. Porting an entire 3D desktop game is no trivial matter. Here are the details from the developer:
What’s crazy about the game is that all the features of the desktop version are present in the iPhone version.
Right now, it’s really more of a demo than anything else, but it’s worth a download. Jumping is a little awkward, but overall, the controls are surprisingly good. Sadly, the frame rate issues are enough to make the current version hard to play with for more than a few minutes. Also, multiplayer doesn’t yet work, but it’s definitely possible in future updates.
Speaking of updates, the developer is putting the final touches on version 1.2, which fixes a bunch of issues present in the current game. There’s even talk of Sauerbraten (Cube 2) being ported to the iPhone. Who’s excited?
