How to Turn Your iPhone Camera Into a Microscope

Honey Bee

I have never been big on high tech cameras that can do wonders for one’s photos. I am more of the point and shoot kind of person, and as long as the photos turn out decently – not blurry for the most part – I am usually satisfied. Recently, though, I have been having issues with the camera of the iPhone 4. Whenever I use the flash in a low light setting, the entire picture has this reddish cast all over. It’s like a red filter has been used! Speaking of the iPhone camera, I am pretty sure that there is a good number of people out there who see Read more »

Brawl: The Card-Based Boxing Game

Brawl: The Card-Based Boxing Game

There’s a new game out for iOS and it’s called Brawl. The game made it to my radar for two reasons — first because it was a free release and secondly, it was a card-based boxing game. I’m a huge fan of deck building games like Ascension, Dominion and 7 Wonders so albeit this one makes use of much simpler rules (yep it’s really simple), I find the genre of fast-paced card action rather interesting. The game itself isn’t very deep. Two boxers fight their way to victory and punches are thrown through cards. The winner is determined by whoever landed the most punches.

Bang! The Bullet gets EPIC update for iOS

Bang! The Bullet gets EPIC update for iOS

Many weeks ago we reviewed Bang! The Bullet. This app never made it to the top list of Apple apps for download but among a huge niche of board game geeks, Bang! is definite favorite. Recently, Palzoun & SpinVector released a much needed update that not only incudes the Dodge City Expansion set, it also put in the much needed online multiplayer that players from around the world were clamoring for. Previously, Bang! only had pass on play for some semblance of multiplayer but this turned out to be rather tedious and impractical. To sweeten the deal even further, the app now sells for only USD $3.99, a full dollar Read more »

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer has version for iOS

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer has version for iOS

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer is by far one of my favorite card games. It’s right up there with 7 Wonders and Bang! Board Game Geek has awarded Ascension: CotG 3.5 stars out of 5 and the good news is that they full game is now available on iOS for a mere USD $4.99. The physical game costs USD $27.99. Ascension: CotG is a deck building game for 2-4 players. The game was designed by a handful of Magic: The Gathering Pros and they wanted to build a fast-paced card game that didn’t rely on who had the better deck beforehand. Instead, players start off in equal footing and build Read more »
