| 34 | VideoGay Sex Positions iPhone Review | We didn't want to review this app but Conrad insisted. This app is terrible, no explicit content just poorly drawn blue blobs. Waste of $1. | 30 5 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 35 | VideoBlur PC Video Gameplay Review | Ryan from http://taptostart.com has snuck off by himself to review blur for the PC. Jo and Conrad are going to be so angry. Ryan is a bad little monkey, but it is totally worth it. This game is awesome and not shitty at all like the new wii mario kart. | 28 5 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 39 | Video10 Pin Shuffle iPad Review | We take a quick look at 10 pin shuffle for the ipad, the game where you bowl on a shuffle board in hopes of getting a full house, sans the Olsen twins. It's fun but it kind of takes away some of the best parts of each sport. Shuffle board is awesome because you try to get your puck to stop short. No spins on the ball for bowling mean you just throw it straight down the lane each time, and as for the poker part, you aren't even guaranteed a full hand if you suck at bowling. The feeling of throwing the puck down the isle is fun but it only lasts a short while. I still havent been able to make it through an entire game, I get distracted easily though so maybe oooh whats this video.. | 25 5 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 40 | VideoAngry Birds iPhone iPad Review and Shoot U for Android | Everyone loves angry birds. Everyone except Ryan, we don't know what is wrong with him. We also take a look at Shoot U for the Droid, a shitty version of angry birds without the birds and with only half of the anger. | 24 5 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 41 | VideoMr Cond iPhone Review, a Game About Sperm | Ryan takes a quick look at this terrible game for the iphone. The only reason it has as many downloads as it does is because it has p***ses and sperm and condoms in it. And you're in a v****a. mmmm v****a. | 23 5 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 42 | VideoFruit Ninja iPhone Review | Ryan takes a quick look at fruit ninja for the iphone. This game is extremely satisfying, for only $.99 you're missing out if you don't go buy it right now. | 23 5 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 43 | VideoRemoteDroid Android Review | Conrad from taptostart takes a quick look at remotedroid. RemoteDroid turns your phone into a wireless keyboard and mouse with touchpad, using your own wireless network.

| 46 | VideoBenefits of a Jailbroken iPhone | Not all the benefits of a jailbroken phone are legal, and as a dev myself some of them make me weep. Some of the benefits are better UI, start screen, multitasking, better notifications, and of course pirating software. It is easier to pirate things on the iphone than almost any other system I?ve seen. Should I stop making games now? | 19 5 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 47 | VideoIt's Too Easy to Jailbrake an iPhone | Ryan takes a quick look at how simple it is to jailbrake an iphone. Apple sure hasn't done a very good job with keeping the system locked down, this is just way too easy. | 18 5 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 65 | VideoChromixa - An Amazing and Free iPhone App | Chromixa was an iphone game we found by browsing through the app store. We had never tried it until this video, and what we found was that we liked it. Very much. | 29 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 66 | VideoSleepy Jo | Reviewing apps is hard. After spending almost 4 minutes reviewing an iphone game, Jo?s previous sugar high crashes down around him. | 29 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 67 | VideoThe Pinball | Oh man I love pinball. I will buy every pinball game for every platform I own. So far this is the best pinball game out for the ipad, but it really isn?t a very good pinball game. The graphics are nice but the camera following the ball is distracting and terrible and the game boards are simple and boring. The menu navigation is terrible and long loading, the restarting option takes too long and the voice effects are awful. It?s worth the $2 but don?t expect anything revolutionary. This game used to be called The Pinball HD, but was just renamed Pinball HD. We recorded the video the day before the update :) | 29 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 68 | VideoAuiditorium - Free iPhone Game Review | Auditorium from Cipher Prime and Electronic Arts is a pretty fun little puzzle game that is now the low low price of zero dollars USD. I have been having a lot of fun with this little game and I?m sure I?ll spend the $.99 for additional level packs once I finish all of the 25+ levels that come with the full free version. Check out my video quick look and go give it a try. | 27 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 69 | VideoCalculator XL - iPad Spectacularity in it?s finest form | Calculator XL is a simple yet elegant calculator for the iPad. It?s simplistic, yet powerful, design is the perfect combination of function and style for your new iPad. The large size buttons feel nothing short of amazing across your fingers and you touch each button in your mathematical challenge for this brilliant app. As your fingers dance across the screen, you will be astonished at the speed and accuracy of this superb app. fin. | 26 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 72 | VideoOpera Mini for the iPhone - It?s Terrible | I may not always agree with Jo on the apps that he hates, but I do agree with him on this one. Opera mini is a pretty terrible experience from the crazy font nonsense to the giant UI bars blocking everything. I think it?s pretty cool that Apple didn?t block the app, but I can?t ever see myself using it in its current state. | 22 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 73 | VideoAir Hockey Gold for the iPad | Oh air hockey. Remember when we were younger and you would take all my Peter Piper tokens? You were such a tease back then with your cool jets of air blowing over my sweaty preteen hands. What we had was special, and I will never forget it. | 21 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 74 | VideoHarbor Master HD for the iPad - Jo?s Favorite Game | Harbor Master HD is a game in the same vein as Flight Control, only Harbor Master is $0, where Flight Control HD is $5. Now personally I have never been a fan of Flight Control on the iphone. I only purchased it because Jo told me it was his favorite game and I was ?retarded if I didn?t buy it?. Harbor Master is a bit more challenging and I enjoy it more than I did Flight Control, the game still doesn?t hold my interest for very long. Conrad ended up playing Harbor Master for a few hours while Jo continued to rant in the background about how everyone was an idiot and Flight Control with its simpler gameplay was far superior. I believe he finally fell asleep while holding an old logitech flight stick with Microsoft Flight Simulator X chugging away on his computer. | 21 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 75 | VideoAndroid and Slideshow | Earlier today Conrad tried to review Slideshow, a neat little view extension that stores a set of visual elements that can be ?scrolled through? while displaying one element at a time. Jo and myself had recently gone through an entire case of Mountain Dew and were running around like a 3 year old trying to avoid his nightly shower. Unfortunately Conrad didn?t get through much of his review of the app, but you can see a quick glance at it and the pretty awesome Droid screen in this video. | 21 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 76 | VideoGodfinger iPad Quick Look | The iPad is still only weeks old and already there are thousands of games available for it. One of the first games released is Godfinger, a cute little sim type game by ngmoco:) The game is following the same type of model as farmville and mafia wars, where you get the game for free and everything is available to you at a slow pace. If you want to move the game along quicker you can purchase in game gold and points. So if you are impatient you can pay to cheat basically. It?s like the game genie back in the day I guess, only you don?t have to blow into it or enter weird codes that can cause all kinds of awesome glitches. I still have no idea how that magical device worked, after this I should head over to Wikipedia and do some serious internet research. Back on track. This is a cute little game by the makers of black and white. The PC game that almost no one played. No one that I know of anyway. Visually the game is pretty amazing and it runs well. I?ve had it crash a few times but nothing totally crazy, and right now every ipad game crashes. The level cap is set at 50 and I don?t know of anyone yet that has hit it. I?ve put in 3 hours and I just hit level 13. 3 hours may not seem like a lot if you put any time into real games, but for these small casual mobile games 3 hours is an eternity. I don?t know what else this game can possibly offer to hold my attention. It feels like I already have most of the buildings, the new ones are just more powerful versions of existing ones, and all they do is generate more gold that I don?t need. Games like this don?t hold my attention long because they don?t have a questing or rewards system. The reward in this game is just always more gold to buy more buildings that generate more gold. There is no story, there is no questing system, no system for fighting or taking things over, I can?t manipulate my friends worlds although I can see them. It?s odd because I have to be online to play, which allows me to see my friends planets, but I can?t do anything except enchant one of their little guys, which will give me a little gold. Which I don?t need. There is no crafting system or loot system or really anything that would get me more involved other than the ability to generate more gold. I guess the new buildings could be viewed as ?loot? but it is very shallow. To be fair the game has only been out a few weeks, and it is free, but it won?t hold my interest very much longer. It will be interesting to see where this game is in a few more months, although by then I will have probably forgotten all about it. On a side note, I do like the Arial Rounded MT font they used for the logo and text that was popular back in 2005. | 21 4 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
