Review: AlcoDroid

AlcoDroid I can tell you right now, is an incredible tool. Available for free on the Android Marketplace I cannot imagine any sane, Alcohol abusing socialite could live without this app.
This amazing little gadget tracks your Blood Alcohol Percentage based on your input (No, you do not blow into the device). During a drinking session you simply enter in the Name and alcohol percentage of the beverage you are indulging in and this device will calculate what your BAC may be. Taking into account what you entered for body weight and sex. AlcoDroid lets you enter in and customize extra drink options that can vary in percentage and volume to help get the most accurate reading of you inebriation. The results are progressively shown on a graph that is tracked continuously even long after your night (or morning!) has ended. Handy if you're driving and want to be safe the following day, handier if you need something to blame all your mistakes on.

Review: What's Her Bra Size

What's Her Bra Size, Is a revolutionary game available for free on the Android Marketplace. This game is obviously for learning purposes and I do believe can increase the cognitive capacity for spacial awareness when played every day.

The premise of this game is beyond simple. You are shown a picture of somebody who would normally be found wearing a bra. You are given three choices as to what size of bra this person would normally wear. Weather right or wrong you cycle through over 100 samples while your right answers are tallied up. I got 101/100 which isn't surprising since I spent 3 years studying for my Bachelors Degree in Object Size Approximation but I would expect anyone with an interest in developing their skills in this field to download this app and give it a try yourselves.

Review: Tiny Tower

Tiny Tower is a great and addicting little game available for free on the android marketplace. If you're the kind of person who enjoys building something up from scratch or watching your creations overtake those of your friends then this game is for you. 

The basic idea behind this game is to add floors to your building, weather they be apartments for tenants or paint-ball arenas for recreation. Adding floors costs money, which you can make by adding tenants who will pay rent, building shop and business floors that will pull in consumer money, or by trading in rare dollars for large sums. Eventually you will have enough floors that you will be managing the restocking of floors and evicting / placing of tenants on a real life schedule. Some people have gotten to the point of having 100 floors which compared to my pathetic 30, is unreal! Although, the thought of scrolling through each floor to restock sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Initially though this game is great looking and functions well.

Review: TripleTown

TripleTown is a game available for free for both Android and iOS. I downloaded this game as it was featured on the homepage of the android marketplace which turned out to be a great decision. This game is great! It's a very simple puzzle game that has you handling everything from grass, to houses, to bears. 
The game sets up a 6x6 grid initially filled with random items, mainly grass and trees. This is your city and it is up to you to improve it given the items that become available. You as the player are given an item to place on this grid each turn. The aim is to place 3 of the same type of item next to each other in order to combine them into one better item, worth more points. As the game progresses and you combine more and more, while also scavenging to free up space, you will find that a score display is tracking the value of the items you have in your city. The value of the items basically goes by how much has been combined to get to that item, For example 3 squares of grass makes a bush, 3 bushes make a tree, 3 trees make a house, 3 houses make a bigger house etc. The game makes this more interesting by introducing bears as placeable items (which you must eventually place) which tend to get in the way when you are stuck for space. Fortunately if you manage to trap or place three bears or more in a location that they can no longer make moves, they will give up on life and die, creating a tombstone in their wake. These tombstones in the same vein as all the other items can be combined to make churches and so the mechanics continue. That is a simple summary of how this game works and hopefully by the description you can tell that it really does. The only thing stopping me from constantly playing it is the move limit. A ploy by developers to get you to spend cash to unlock unlimited moves. But to be honest I find this to be a great feature for forcing you to stop wasting your time playing this addictive little game, while at the same time welcoming you back once the move counter has risen again after a couple of hours. Overall this game is a complete positive in my book.
