Worms

Worms is definitely one of, if not the biggest AppStore release this month. It is a port of the Classic Worms game done by Team 17. The port is done expertly and excellently making it a fun, addictive game on the AppStore.

The game offers hours of fun with its 6 different environments and infinity amount of random battlefields meaning no two games will ever be in the same place.  The environments include a lava land, snow land, on an iceberg plus 3 more. (continue reading…)

The Dev Team have released version 0.9 of their iPhone unlocker Ultrasn0w clearly to spite GeoHot for his Purplesn0w unlock that he released a few days. GeoHot claimed this unlock was much for cleaner and small than the Dev Team’s version and the Dev Team have announced that there new version is  ‘nearly 7000 times smaller than it’s nearest competition (Purplesn0w)’ and they say that GeoHot should ‘ stop dicking around and look at the bootrom instead kthx. =P’. It seems like a real war has started betweeen the two! (continue reading…)

Since the beginning I have never used SSH because originally I could never get it to work. So I search and searched around for an equivalent and I found one that it not really known by a lot of people. I think everyone should use it because it is more reliable that SSH because simply, it uses USB cable rather than over the air. Plus it has worked with every firmware I have been on from 1.1.1 to 3.0. It’s called Total Commander. (continue reading…)

Yesterday after installing the RotationInhibitor app on my iPhone, I got my first SWOD (spinning wheel of death) on 3.0. However this time it was different. The spinning wheel would only spin for 5 seconds and then my iPhone would reboot. After maybe 6 reboots, it finally launched itself into Safe Mode. (continue reading…)

Apple have seeded the second beta to the 3.1 firmware update for the iPhone and iPod Touch. No major features have been noticed in the firmware EXCEPT the fake that Apple have found a way to disable unauthorized tethering which we actually posted a guide showing people on AT&T how to enable MMS and tethering early.

A new edited version of the slim.tiff file used in the ChickHEN exploit for PSP 2000s and 3000s now makes it works 99.99% of the time. It used to be a big problem and would take a few tries to get it to work (for me it never worked). (continue reading…)

Here is DrummingJock13’s second video review. This one is about an app called iBadge made by the folks over at Pixdeo.

Without furthur ado, here is the review:

A new type of app has sprung up onto the AppStore which only works for the iPhone 3GS. It is a metal detector app that only works on the iPhone 3GS.

It uses the electronic compass within the device to detect ferocious metals such as iron and steel. (continue reading…)

According to Czech iPhone developer PoweryBase, Apple are starting to block push notifications on iPhone’s which have been unlocked with 3rd party unlockers such as Purplesn0w and Ultrasn0w and are using carrier that normally wouldn’t be allowed.

The battle between the Dev Team and George Hotz (GeoHot) continues with GeoHot releasing his second program in the ‘purple‘ series, Purplesn0w. This is an iPhone 3GS unlock much like the updated version of Dev Team’s Yellowsn0w, Ultrasn0w.

This app only works with the iPhone 3GS and on legit-activate iPhone 3GS. (continue reading…)

Looks like I must have missed this little gem that was posted on BigBoss’s repo. It is called Scrobbl and is an update to TonyHoyle’s Scrobble application on 2.X.

This is actually really big news for all Last.fm users (like me) because they can now SCROBBLE LIVE on their devices which are on OS 3.0. (continue reading…)

To celebrate Apple’s AppStore turning 1 year old a few days ago, I have decided to share with you guys my top 5 apps on the AppStore. Out of the 56,000 applications that have been released, these are the 5 that stuck out the most to me.

Number 5: Labyrinth

When I ever I lend my iPhone to my friends, it is almost always this app or iCoptor (which doesn’t make my top 5) which they go for first. This is a game where you need to guide a little silver ball through a maze without falling through holes until you get to the finish using your iPhone/iPod Touch’s accelerometer.

This game was inspired from a real-life game called the same name where it was the exact same concept but you guided the ball using two knobs which you spun to tilt the platform to move the ball.

This app has both a Lite version and a proper version which costs $2.99. (continue reading…)

This is probably one of the most awaited games out there. Worms, by Team17, has finally been completed and has passed Apple tests to be released on to the AppStore. It is only $4.99 and comes with 6 different environments, 50 different challenges to play and custom music support.

Worms is also compatible with 2.2.1 so all the people slow with updating their iPhones/iPod Touchs can still play the game. (continue reading…)
