Updates Bonanza Including Updated Game Reviews

iTunes connect was down over the Holiday weekend, and as soon as it was back up, tons of updates went through the system. Many apps were updated, but a few were major stand-outs that were worth updating the reviews. Others are updates to games we already gave the highest rating to. Also there were updates to games we haven't reviewed. The updated reviews: iBlast Moki v1.2 Fieldrunners v1.3.0 Minigore v1.25 Coast Defense v1.1 The second most updated app in the App Store, Doodle Jump, got another one. With so many updates this is already an absolute must. This update brings a new Yetti boss that appears around 30,000, and you have to defeat it to advance upwards. Implode! was already updated again bringing the total number of level to 100. The new set of ten is nature themed. Now there are boulders and hills that change the fall of the structures. A solid update making this game even better. As weird as it sounds we don't have a review of Zombieville USA. Here's the update portion on the review if we had one.

After months developing OMG Pirates, Mika Mobile has come back to Zombieville and provided the 1.5 update. The main feature is you can play as one of seven characters. Each character has unique characteristics that change the rate of collecting, ammo, health, and money as well as differences in speed and the power of shooting and melee attacks. The characters include the standard survivor, plus a construction foreman, clown, doctor, cop, ninja, and John Gore (from minigore). The ninja for example moves quickly, and has a huge melee attack, but is worse on shooting. The cop is a shooting expert, but melee attack is lower, and each one has similar give and take type of attributes. Also included is a level select which in essence is a quick play mode. If you make it to level 22 and die, you can start your next game at level 20, or at lower levels 15, 10, and 5. Plus you begin with the appropriate weaponry as well. This is a really great update that breathes new life into the simple shooter by today’s standards. It was one of the the first zombie shooters, and still one of the best. The animations, as well as constant action make this game an must buy for a mere $1.99. Be sure to check it’s placement on the shooter game appguide. On another note there were some updates of games that we don't have reviews of. We will review a couple of these titles this week so stay tuned. Here are the details of the updates.
