The Gamer Lounge

I’ve made it home and share with you my thoughts on Rock Band and Hero of Sparta!  There’s even a sneak peek of a future blog post.  :-O

These “Luke’s Ramblings” have really been a blast for me to make, so expect more of them in the future.  I’m planning on having at least one a week, and a maximum of three.

One quick other note:  I’ve changed the RSS feed to a feedburner feed just so it’s easier for everyone if I ever switch where I host my audio.  This puppy will be in iTunes soon!

(New) RSS FEED

(Woops, that link was broken for a couple days.  It’s fixed now.)

I just recently purchased a new pair of earphones for my iPod Touch which includes a microphone.  This handy little addition will allow me to tell you my thoughts and going abouts quite easy!  This little section mentions vacation, and a couple games I want to play.  Check it out below!

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.

After playing the Xbox 360 version of the title, I was quite please to see this sitting on the featured page of the mobile app store.  At $4.99 this thing is a steal, and I recommend you try it out.  I made a little audio review I though I would share with you:

My sister and I temporarily take the reigns on this episode and talk about the new iPods, Chuck, Fracture, Warhammer Online, House, CSI Miami, and Larry Bear.   Also, a new hard drive, Apple microphone and how iTunes makes me an honest man.
