Even Gods Like Achievements

There are thousands of apps on the app store, but few (if any) have as many consistent and fun updates as Pocket God does.  What was simply a random purchase for me, ended up becoming one of my favorite apps.  As much as I love Pandora, I could care less when it updates.  But Pocket God?  That I must download as fast as possible!  :-)

As I’ve mentioned on the podcast a few times, achievements are starting to grow on me more and more everyday.  They make you try things you normally wouldn’t in a game, and give you a reason to keep playing long after you beat it.  Granted, Pocket God isn’t necessarily something you’ll sit down and play for an hour straight, but it does keep you occupied for a few minutes which is what should be the goal of all mobile games.  This new addition of achievements just adds a little bit more fun and incentive to play.  Long line at the grocery store?  Pull out your iPod/iPhone and try to get more than 5 shark snaps!

Now I know the T-Rex battle was not added on this update, but, oh, is it fun! I have tons of apps on my iPod Touch now, but I often just don’t have the time some of them require to get some fun out of them.  A quick 30 second battle with a T-Rex is, however, always a fast and easy way to past time.

I leave you with this.  Pocket God only costs $.99, and it’s probably the best buck you’ll ever spend.

The iPhone 3GS!

Apple’s WWDC conference just recently ended, and the iPhone 3GS was announced!  This is new hardware people!  The thing that really stood out to me was the fact that it finally has a video camera in it, and the included camera has been bumped up to 3 megapixels.

Now if only AT&T would expand their coverage to my part of Nebraska…

Check out the full feature list HERE and a comparison to the old 3G HERE.

#17 – Gamer Lounge Episode – E3 and More!

It has been FOREVER since we’ve put out a new episode, but now we finally did.  Considering the fact that tonight’s episode went so well, the chances of us staying consistent are really good now.  Since we had 6 months worth of stuff to cover, this was an extra long show. Topics included E3, UP, and pretty much everything else that’s in the below mountain of tags. At a little over an hour and a half, the show should keep you busy until next Sunday!  :-)
