There are a lot of zombie games in the App Store these days. With the success of certain TV shows and movies, it seems as if every major release has a zombie mode, and certain games are built with zombies in mind. Zombiewood is one such game, providing a unique, engaging, and often quite funny take on the classic zombie video game formula in a package that is perfect for the iPad.

Zombiewood pits you, a stuntman eager to prove his mettle, against a city filled with zombies. Each "scene" is a mission that has you kill zombies, … Read more

Those who are using Zoho, an online suite of office tools and applications, may be looking for a mobile app that lets them check their projects on the go. Zoho Projects is an application that is designed to enable the user to view projects online. While this program works quite well, its limited usefulness almost makes the app pointless.

While the installation goes smoothly, this application doesn't seem to offer many useful features. Users cannot change a meeting or edit a document. In fact, they can't change anything. Zoho Projects simply lets the user view a feed of … Read more

Many users watch their favorite TV shows on their mobile devices using apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Crackle. XFINITY TV Player, designed for use by Comcast subscribers, is the latest addition to the premium video-streaming genre. It makes a great attempt at being a valuable experience but lacks many key features that make both cable and mobile video great.

At 12MB the player is not excessively large for an application of its magnitude but nevertheless users should be cautioned if they are on a limited data plan and are not connected to Wi-Fi. The installation progresses smoothly and … Read more

App developers are finding more creative ways to share content on the iPhone with every passing year. From Instagram to Vine, the number of camera-oriented tools that refine the very idea of social sharing is constantly growing as the technology evolves. Photoblab looks poised to join the list of tools that tech-savvy, social individuals use to reach out to friends and family via Facebook, Twitter, and other social outlets.

Photoblab is a lot like the services mentioned above. You must register (though you can connect a Facebook account if you choose) and the home interface is a stream of content … Read more

The iPad has made it possible to create some very impressive pieces of music. It's hard to imagine something as complex and deeply intellectual as composition happening on a device used more often to play bird-tossing games, but there are some truly impressive compositions and even more impressive apps to create those works. One such app is Sketch-a-Song, providing a sleek, drag-and-drop interface to create songs with the tap of a button.

Sketch-a-Song starts by requiring you to register an account. You can choose to connect to Facebook, but Facebook integration is deep and the settings are not immediately … Read more

Slot machines have an oddly addictive quality. At any given time, you want to see just one more spin -- to know where it will land. The problem, of course, is that video slots are also immensely complex and the cost can add up fast. So an iPad version that doesn't cost real money to play is a perfect solution. Slotomania does a great job of translating that addictive quality to the small screen, but is it enough to warrant a download?

You start the game with 200 coins. These coins are then bet in each game on however … Read more

Surround Video is not an app in the sense that you can actually do anything with it. There are no buttons to create your own videos and no way to edit or add content to the existing videos. The content that is provided is almost entirely technical demos of what Surround Video can do, but it is still an interesting experience. As more of these videos are added it will be interesting to see what filmmakers choose to do with Surround Video.

When you open this app, you will find four technical demos of what Surround Video does. The technology … Read more

There are quite a few music apps for the iPhone - apps that allow you to play your music, create playlists or download music differently than you would in iTunes or the Music app. However, few of those apps offer anything unique or different from Apple's built-in tools. iTagPlayer manages to do so, albeit in a limited package. However, despite its limitations, iTagPlayer is worth checking out because of the unique way it presents your music.

When you turn on iTagPlayer for the first time, it starts scanning your music for tags related to the genres of that music. … Read more

Mad Man is the newest in a long line of apps channeling the faux retro arcade feel of the '70's when many games were about space, neon lights, and time limits. In this case, you are pitted against an opponent online and must move your light across the screen without it being hit by any of the obstacles, including your opponent. The result is quick and entertaining, though ultimately lacking due to some design decisions.

The interface is fun and easy to use. The game loads quickly, the music is suitably old-school, and the graphics are both bright and … Read more
