On fourth of September the Dinner Dash game – an economic strategy from PlayFirst Inc, was released at AppStore.
You must make a 5-stars restaurant out of the fast-food café, what you’ve got at the start of the game. All you need is to manage your restaurant personal in a way to serve all the clients as fast as possible. If your visitors enjoy the service and environment they will pay tips to you. The more clients are happy – the more tips you’ll get. You can use the money earned to buy additional service machines, hire musicians and additional personal.
On 50 unique levels of the game you’ll come across with 6 types of customers, and don’t think they’ll allow you just sit tight and watch the gameplay. There is a campaign and one alternative game mode included.
The only disadvantage of this exciting and perfect made game is it’s high cost. The $4.99 price could invite much more customers.
Price: $9.99

Some days ago there was a post about the Blue Skies game coming. And finally it’s available in AppStore and costs $9.99.
The controls are simple and intuitive – ypu should use an accelerometer and multitouch-scheme. Yor attack helicopter will engage numerous tanks, bunkers, aviation units… All of them should be melted with a storm of fire and steel, coming out of your gunship. That shouldn’t be an easy walk – 30 levels are long enough, the armor is not bullet-proof, and fuel tanks are getting empty just in the most heat!

Buy it or not – that would be the only your decision. But those who have bought it are storming the enemy horde at the moment. And why are you still here???

A new Kill-em-All game were published in AppStore. The gameplay is clear – don’t let the enemy travel from A-point to B-point. You must use different artillery to achieve the goal. Any structure you build you can upgrade for a small (ore huge) sum of money. To collect money you mast destroy as many enemies as possible.
I used to play flash-version of this game, and was really so excited with it, that a week of my life was thrown into a recycle bin.
Now we are able to enjoy the gameplay on our lovely iPhones. The game is saved when a player quits the application. Three difficulty levels, three types of disposition – what else do we need to fly away from this place called reality?
See the video of gaming process for more information.
Price: $0.99

A nice mod for weather forecasts managing. Download the archive, that contains the Moscow forecast settings. When the download will be finished unpack the archive. The WeatherWidget.theme folder should be put into our iPhone file system to /Library/Themes/ location. Enable the installed mod in the WinterBoard app and see the picture like it is on the screenshot.
SeaBreeze have just tested the GPRS-appetite of application and enjoyed the results – approximately 8 kilobytes per synchronization.
Those who wants to see a hometown forecast should read the following instruction.
First of all, you should find an upgraded text editor, Notepad++ for example. You can download it from the developers site absolutely free of charge.
Then, take a file configureMe.js from WeatherWidget.themr\Private\ and open it using your advanced text editor. Find a register parameter:
var locale = “Moscow, Russia”,
and sign in your city and country like it’s shown on the screenshot. Save the file, upload it to iPhone and begin watching your own town forecast.
Yes, don’t forget to change the var updateInterval parameter, that manages the forecast renewal time. If you would paste 1440 minutes there you’ll get a daily forecast on your iPhone.
Urgent! WinterBoard is not compatible with Kate.

While zerto describes us all the news in AppStore catalogue, our iPhones.ru author Evgeniy Shelenkov decides to begin a new review series. It’ll be about apps and games from “must-see” category.
The first one will be a Tap Tap Revenge named game, Evgeniy puts a 5 mark on it.
Tap Tap Revenge is a remake of original console Guitar Hero game. A player should tap notes, flying on the strings of guitar and sometimes shift his iPhone to catch a note he wants. That’s really interesting both playing the game and also watching the man playing it.
All the newbies can walk through the Tutorial to understand how to play the game. Here are the gameplay features in a nutshell. There can be two types of notes to play with. The first ones look like a circles, you are supposed to catch them tapping the border of the screen. The second ones look like an arrows. To catch them player must shift the iPhone in the direction of target arrow-type-note. The more notes you hit – the higher score you get. If you miss a note, you score decreases. There is bonus system in the game: you get higher scores if you successfully release a combo – hit a number of notes without any miss.
The previous version of the game (it was named Tap Tap Revolution) had a bug inside – you couldn’t load any new tracks. In Tap Tap Revenge you can upload the track using in-game interface. You can choose them by difficulty level - Easy Tracks, Medium Tracks, Hard Tracks, Extreme Tracks.
The last scene is highly exciting, but it’s really hard to get inside a Top Scores List. Now there are 37 tracks available, and one or two new are released every week.
The game is supposed to be played in single player mode. But you can share your iPhone screen with a mate to play together, that’s not that comfortable. It should be better to compete using Wi-Fi interface, but we think, the developers will enable this feature in the nearby future. And, don’t forget, that’s the only disadvantage of exciting an successful game.
“Must have”! Without any doubts!
Yes, and it’s totally free.
