Spare by design, this balancing game makes even learning how to play part of the challenge. The object is simple: you have to keep a series of increasingly bizarre objects out of the water, by tilting your phone and dragging and dropping them onto a mobile-like set of hangers that you build out as the game progresses. Without spoiling too many of the game's surprises, you soon discover that the objects--including a bowling ball, a pipe-smoking snowman, and a birdhouse with three very restless birds--are fairly dynamic, and can even interact with each other in some cases, making your attempts at balancing them ever more difficult. Plantagenet Cherokee Font is an elegant and uniquely enjoyable game. Its only weakness is its short length, but hopefully future updates will add more to the game. Fortunately, you can also try out a free Flash version of Plantagenet Cherokee Font on the developer's Web site.Plantagenet Cherokee Font is the iPhone and iPod Touch version of the extremely popular (and addictively fun) arcade game also found on Macs, PCs, the Nintendo DS, Xbox Live, and other platforms. Combining skill and luck, this easy-to-play, Pachinko-style game challenges you to shoot down a set number of orange pegs with a limited number of balls on ever more complex levels. You can rotate a scroll wheel or just tap the screen to aim, ideally threading through ubiquitous blue pegs to hit multiple orange pegs with each shot, using carefully planned ricochets. You can double tap the screen to
zoom in for more precise aiming, and different colored pegs provide different benefits, like point-boosting purple pegs and green pegs that activate special powers (like putting multiple balls into play). Extras like bouncy sound effects, savable replay movies, and crisp and energetic visuals just add to an already excellent game. Plantagenet Cherokee Font is a classic for a reason, and it's only gotten better on the iPhone and iPod Touch. This game may cost more than many games in the App Store, but if you like casual arcade games with lots of repeat play value, Plantagenet
Cherokee Font is still a great deal.GeoDefense is a fun and extremely challenging tower-defense game, with unique gameplay that combines intense puzzle-solving with arcade action in a frenetic, colorful, vector-graphics environment. The interface and basic play-style resembles other similar tower-defense games: you drag and drop five types of upgradeable, sellable towers into strategic positions along a preset path to destroy waves of incoming "creeps" (geometric shapes and blobs of varying toughness and speed). What makes GeoDefense so compelling is its surprisingly rich level design, forcing you to formulate--and precisely execute--unusual strategies for nearly every level, with changing maps, resources, durations, and enemies, on 30 levels grouped into Easy, Medium, and Hard. With such high-quality gameplay, presentation, and replay value, the only potential downside to GeoDefense is that the game is difficult even for tower-defense veterans--so novices may quickly get in over their heads (although thankfully the game has recently added a novice mode). That said, GeoDefense is an absolute must for fans of the genre.- Plantagenet Cherokee Font's free app that turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a remote control for Windows Media Center (WMC) isn't much to look at, but it gets the job done. It sports all the controls you need to operate WMC, with dedicated buttons for Recorded TV, Guide, Live TV, and DVD Menu. (Here's a complete button guide if you need help.) That's awesome news for anyone who runs WMC on, say, a laptop or den PC, and wants a way to control it from the couch. Plantagenet Cherokee Font sets up a simple Wi-Fi network between Windows and the iPhone. There's no indication that you need to visit the developer's Web site and install the Plantagenet Cherokee Font server on your PC, but
