123D Catch

Mel — Sat, 04 May 2013 13:00:32 +0000

123D Catch by Autodesk gives you the power to create 3D models of practically anything. Instead of sculpting or editing meshes, Catch takes a simpler approach. Simply take pictures of an object from various angles. Load these into the program and it will turn the images into a 3D object.

A video tutorial appears when you first start the app. You will then see some preloaded samples. The I symbol has four options: About, Help, Getting Started and Support. Before you take pictures, try the 3D samples first so you know how to move an object. You can pan, rotate and scale objects.

Clicking the New Capture Button will start a tutorial when you launch the app for the first time. Finish the tutorial. Take a picture by pressing the camera button. The app keeps track of how images you�ve taken. Press Finish Capture when you�re done.

The images will be sent to Autodesk�s servers where they will be transformed into 3D and then sent back to your iPad when modeling and rendering is complete. The time it takes depends on the number of photos you took.

This is really the app�s best feature. If you�re familiar with 3D software, you know how resource intensive the process can be. Rather than force your iPad to do the work, Autodesk servers will do it instead. Catch is free, but you must have an account of some sort. It can be an account in Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.

123D Catch is part of the 123D family. The other apps include Sculpt, Make and 123D.

Talking Ginger

Mel — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:00:28 +0000

Talking Ginger�from Out Fit 7 Ltd.�is a virtual pet app for the Android and iOS, and your objective here is to take care of Ginger the kitten. That means putting him to bed on time, talking to him and helping him with other tasks like shows, potty, brushing his teeth and so on. It�s really a cute app and while it�s aimed at kids, even adults will fall in love with this kitten.

After you download and install the game you have the option to get notifications from Ginger and whether to turn on Child or Regular Mode. It�s a good idea to turn the notifications on as you will get a free toothpaste. Once the game has been installed, you can teach Ginger potty training and don�t forget to give him a shower and then dry him off. You can talk to Ginger and you�ll hear him repeat your hellos in a cute small voice.

Teaching Ginger to brush his teeth isn�t that hard, but if you really want to keep things simple, turn on Child Mode. Remember, however, that you�re not limited to just caring for the kitten, though because the game has a bunch of extra features like videos, puzzles, many of which comes from other users.

One of the nice things about Ginger is that he mimics anything that he hears and it isn�t just limited to your voice, so don�t be surprised if you hear Ginger mimicking your keyboard and also make funny faces. In other words, Talking Ginger is a nice clean game for kids and the young at heart.

The Last Driver

Mel — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:00:10 +0000

The Last Driver is all about driving in a muscle car in an apocalyptic landscape, trying to rend off zombies, dinosaurs and a host of other terrors that has come up from the world. Created by Chillingo Ltd, you have no goal other than to survive. If you�re looking for a fun game that has plenty of action and speed, this is it.

As you drive through the landscape battling zombies, aliens and other creatures, you�ll have to accomplish other side missions along the way which increase in difficulty. Some of the most challenging ones will have you driving with a timer while trying to gather a specific amount of coins. While they don�t advance the storyline in Last Driver, the missions are a lot of fun and add another dimension to the game.

Apart from the gorgeous graphics all the levels are randomly generated and they dynamically change. As you drive you�ll see UFOs and dinosaurs smashing buildings and so on. As you see the buildings collapse, you can use them as ramps for you to cross, but you also need to avoid obstacles as you drive along.

The game isn�t complicated and that�s just right. Rather than figure out some difficult strategy, you just need to run over those zombies and make sure the T Rex doesn�t catch up to you.

Last Driver has been called a driving game, but that�s not entirely accurate as you can�t move away from the path, so it�s more like an endless runner. Call it what you will, it�s really a lot of fun and exhilarating, and it�s free too.

One Epic Knight

Mel — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:00:02 +0000

There are lots of endless runner games out there, and One Epic Knight is one of them. But this game from Simutronics is more than just a rip-off of other runners, as it brings something new to the table. In the game you play a knight who is going through a dungeon destroying orcs, smashing obstacles and collecting treasure all at the same time.

What makes One Epic Knight different from other runners is it has elements of combat built in – meaning you can grab swords and shields and slay enemies while getting multipliers. Shields won�t just protect you from enemies but you can use it to smash obstacles in your way.

Aside from running you also have to balance trying to use items for a score multiplier and saving them for use later. Because of this feature there�s more to the game than just trying to run needlessly and avoiding enemies.

As far as control systems and game mechanics go, One Epic Knight is very easy to use. Aside from running, you also have to do some strategizing, and make decisions, and the graphics are also pretty nice.

The graphics and sound are top notch, and there�s a fair amount of challenge here too. One of the things that separates it from other runners is that it uses swipe for lane switching rather than tilting, but you will get used to it in no time.

One Epic Knight has a more than a few in-app purchases, but they aren�t needed to complete the game. While gem packs can be bought, a lot of them can be collected to finish the game. If you like endless runners like Temple Run, you will love this one.

Where’s My Water? Free

Mel — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:00:08 +0000

Where�s My Water from Disney is an exciting physics based puzzle game. Your objective is to route water for an alligator named Swampy. The game is notable not just because Swampy is Disney�s first original character for mobile phones, but because it�s really good. Swampy the alligator hates being dirty, so you need to give him regular baths, but it�s easier said than done.

Giving Swampy a bath isn�t as easy as it seems, because another alligator, Cranky, messes up the waters flowing in the sewers where they live. Your goal is to dig up the dirt (by touching the screen) and making sure the water flows into Swampy�s tub.

In some cases you need to redirect the water and flow it into other pipes or other systems, so it can set a route for the inlet hooked up to Swampy�s tub. Once Swampy�s tub gets the required amount of water, you�ll move on to the next level.

Where�s My Water is also filled with lots of rubber ducks that are capable of absorbing water, plus there are numerous hidden items can be unlocked. If you find these, you�ll be able to play in the bonus levels.

Adding to the fun and challenge are the hazards in the game that you need to get rid of (i.e., algae, which is bad for water). Other contaminants like ooze, poison and mud must also be removed, adding a greater level of complexity to the game.

There is a paid version of Where�s My Water, but the free version has lot of levels that you can explore, plus you can unlock other hidden secret levels. This is a fun game, not just for kids but also for adults.
