Here is an iPhone/iPod Touch APP review that I had written for KRAPPS. You can view this review here, at my blog, or at KRAPPS.com. If you go to KRAPPS.com, you have the opportunity to win a copy of the APP for free!

ae-logo2 Recently, I came across an app called Alternate Endings. This app has been available for awhile, but after playing it I thought that it was just so great I had to review it. Imagine watching a movie and being able to control what happens. In Alternate Endings, you can do just that!

Take the role of Russell Bingham. A security guard in a typical movie studio, however, after a big-time movie director is murdered, its up to Russell and his trusty taser to find the culprit. Follow Russell’s adventure and control his path in his one and only shot to become a real cop and maybe get a little extra.

During numerous parts of the game you will be prompted to make a decision. What you decide will be played in a movie-like style and based on your choices, you can actually change the outcome of the movie for better or worse. Try to solve the crime in the best way possible, but don’t get yourself or others killed in the process. If you don’t like the ending, play again and follow a different path in order to find a better and more rewarding finish.

Alternate Endings is simply an amazingly designed game and definitely one of my favorites. It is the world’s first murder-mystery-comedy interactive movie app that lets you solve the crime. It truly feels like you are watching a movie and directing it at the same time. It contains over an hour of recorded video with literally no flaws in this game. The acting is great, the script is superb, and the quality is amazing. Stuck and can’t decide what choice to make? Simply shake your iPhone (or iPod Touch) and a choice will randomly be selected. The app is fairly large in terms of storage, but that should not keep you from downloading.

Well, it hasn’t been long since the release of Tap Tap Revenge 2 but I am already going to review it. A short description you might ask? Try visually stunning. Tap Tap Revenge 2 keeps to the original Tap Tap Revenge while adding awesome new features, more songs and new amazing graphics.

Tap Tap Revenge 2 contains the same play style as the original, simply start up the APP, download a few songs for free, and start playing. However, unlike the original, there is a collection of new features such as multi-tap, visual indicators, a new career mode, and more. The onscreen visual indicators allow you to see statistics such as your current progress in the song and how close you are to earning more multipliers.

Career mode is a new section that allows you to track your progress through the game. It contains a collection of achievements. The achievements vary from extremely simple goals such as simply finishing a whole song all the way to lengthy or difficult ones such as playing 1,000 games or earning 100,000 points on a song.

The game includes a vast amount of improvements. One of the main and best improvements of the game are the graphics. Tap Tap Revenge 2 truly shows the amazing rendering capabilities of the iPhone or iPod Touch and surprisingly there is no loss of FPS or any lag. As you play the screen is filled with tons of amazing affects and the better you are at the game, the cooler looking everything becomes.

Along with the graphical improvements, another main improvement is the menus. The menus now display a variety of useful information. While looking through your collection of songs or downloading new ones, you can see the album artwork for the songs. Additionally, after finish playing a song, you can choose to go to the author’s website or download the song off of iTunes.

Unfortunately, such a great APP does have its down sides. Many times the APP crashed while either viewing my downloaded music library or trying to download more music. In fact, this happened a lot. I played this on an iPod Touch and had restarted it before playing like you should always do however this did not stop the problem. Although there were no crashes or any problems what so ever in game or at any other menus, this glitch made trying to find new music a frustrating task.

Overall, the Tap Tap Revenge 2 is purely amazing and is FREE on the iTunes App store so what are you waiting for, get it now!

Hello everyone!

I have finally finished my music podcast. Whenever I am bored and make a new song, I will upload it to my podcast and allow others to listen for free.
