Dungeonism iPhone Game For Game Lovers
The dungeons iPhone game is a very nifty that it would seem wants you to be of a particular age to enjoy. The graphics while crunchy seem to induce an Atari style which likely would not fly if you have been playing the 3D games most of your time.
Although, if you are sentimental for the Gauntlet of other RPGs action where working for the upcoming level up is the only aim you have, this could be right up your alley. That does confine the availability of this nifty game to a narrow audience, but it helps that the audience delightfully.
You generate and name your character and continue via levels collecting potions, arrows, gold and of course precious XP.
The Dungeonism manages to divide its knowledge into bite sized hunks which fits the iPhone perfectly. This is the type of design choice that many non~casual developers on the iOS seem to forget.
Every game does not need to be 2:00 minute score spell, but it is good to have something that you can informally play on in the line without annoying about the upcoming save point.
The dungeons iPhone game captures the arcade without disposability, you get determined characters. As you play you can renovate equipment for character, and do the type of customization left for the complex RPGs.
What’s Good: An awesome take on the arcade actions RPG which seems concentrated on the quick sessions. Art style has also a great retro feel.
What Sucks: Does not have broad appeal, focused squarely a particular audience.
Buy it: if you love Gauntlet or its ilk, then you should get this game. Dungeonism is only for $1.99 from the App Store.

Apple iWatch Releases in 2014?
You might have heard lots of rumors related to the Apple iWatch release date as it has got the public interest greatly. Many experts have said that it may be a great project of Apple company if they launch it at the right time as other competitors of the Apple are also showing interest in iWatch idea and some of them have also started work on it.
Apple is antagonistically hiring employees to work on its iWatch project, that is set to release in late 2014. Apple wants to make it more sophisticated so that it can get public linking widely and that’s why the Apple is making delay in the release of iWatch.
The Financial Times states that the Apple wants to get in some fresh expertise to contract with a number of design glitches. It is a big challenge for the engineers as they have to produce some unique design that should be eye-catching.
Sources familiar with the Apple’s strategies told about the publication that the firm’s engineers have got some problems that they have not been able to fix. They added that the signing of new employees advocates the Apple iWatch won’t be ready for the release until the latter part of the 2014.
Rumors of Apple making wearable technology began at the beginning of the year.
In June, the Apple was revealed that the company had filed a trademark for the name of iWatch with the Russian Federal Service for the Intellectual Property. After some days later, reports advocated that the iWatch had been trademarked in Japan, Mexico,Taiwan and Turkey.
The wearable technology is projected to be a communicator device for the iPad, iPhone and iPod.
Apple’s iPhone 5S Production Starts This Month
Apple seems to start the production of iPhone 5S this month with the aim of launching it in the late September or the early October, Jefferies analyst the Peter Misek wrote in a specific note to the investors this morning.
In addition to the Apple’s iPhone 5S, Apple also past month started assembly of the much~rumored lower~cost iPhone, that’ll be priced at about $300 to $ 400, he added.
Misek thinks that the Apple will set in orders for twenty five to thirty million iPhone units during the fall quarter, then ramp up fifty to fifty five million units during the holiday period. For the quarter starting in the December, Apple plans to construct about five million iPhone 4S handsets, twenty million low~cost iPhones, and twenty five million iPhone 5S handsets. He did not mention the iPhone 5 ($605.00 at amazon).
‘’ though the big construct plan shows Apple’s sureness in the upcoming product releases, we remain alert as our checks show mostly incremental feature promotions for the Apple’s iPhone 5S,’’ report notes.’’ The Galaxy S4 (599.99 at amazon) continues to get share and the Apple’s iPhone 5S will have to compete with the Google’s Moto X phone.’’
So if you were expecting the Apple’s iPhone 5S would look comprehensively different than its forerunners. You better not hold your heartbeat.
We should observe that the Misek’s previous predictions have not always been entirely accurate. The analyst earlier predicted that the Apple’s iPhone 5S production would start in the March for a June or July launch. Moreover, last year he wrongly forecasted that the release of an Apple~branded television set was near.
His newest prediction does, although, follow the reports that contract production giant Foxconn has been hiring workers to construct an Apple’s next iPhone. The Foxconn recruiting push is being directed ‘’ particularly for the production of an upcoming iPhone model,’’ according to a DigiTimes report. So, we will have to see and wait what Apple has in store.

iPhone 6 Idea Looks Like Something From the Battlestar Galactica
There have been many rumors of both an iPhone 6 and an iPhone 5 coming out this summer, and while I do not hold out hope of that happening – it is too far out of the Apple’s reconginzed iPhone release rhythm~this iPhone 6 idea mockup is interesting, to say the least.
The people at designed by M, the manufacturer of the AL13 case, finally decided to place together this rather unique take on an estimated iPhone 6 design, with the cut~off corners of a piece of the paper straight out of the Battlestar Galactica.
They are calling it iPhone 6m, of course, classifying it with their design display. The team suggested the concept iPhone shriller angles to make it feel more futuristic and edgy.
Here is what they had said about the design:
The upcoming model is all about the touch. The 6m expels buttons from the handset’s design, substituting them with the touch sensor for power, volume and home. You want to turn up the new jay~Z track? Well, there is no feeling around for the buttons, then just touch the bottom corner of handset and sound thrills out of the dual~face speakers on the bottom and front of the phone. 4 speakers, bigger sound!! Sick right!
The front speaker and camera for your ear are enfolded around each other in the circle, keeping things sleek and smooth. It is slimmer than the iPhone 5 about 20%.

Apple’s iPhone 6S might have a Samsung A9 soul
Apple is said to be expending Samsung to form the A9 mobile chips for iPad and iPhone in 2015, another symbol that the company’s attempts to detach itself from its opponent’s production expertise are fighting. Though Apple had switched to the TSMC for it’s A~series chip construction starting in the 2014, according to the Korean economic daily, it’s Samsung’s skill in 14nm production that has won back the Apple’s business.
According to the site of korea, Apple and Samsung inked a contract on july 14, particularly for the Apple A9 chipset estimated to be in the 2015’s iPhone. The chip will utilize 14nm FinFER technology, its been said that if Apple’s ‘’S’’ nomenclature form continues, by that point we will likely be looking the iPhone 6S, although the Korean report advocates it’ll be the iPhone 7.
Samsung and Apple have had a unrestrained relationship over the past few years, consuming as much time in the courtroom struggling to remove huge damages payments and have their opponent’s devices banned from the sale, as they’ve negotiating components. Samsung has always been a particular supplier for the Apple – as well as CPUs, it supplies the flash memory and the other components – but the legal intensifications Apple has tried to broaden its supply chain and ignore giving so much money to the Korea foe.
The chipsets had been a bottleneck, in spite of the ongoing endeavors of TSMC, but the news of a deal over the next Apple A8 had been observed as a symbol that Samsung was being pressed out of its advantaged position.
Instead, the Samsung’s work on the 14nm working has paid dividends, giving something TSMC allegedly cannot. The 14nm chips are estimated to offer presentation modifications as well as the reduction in the power consumption, with the central silicon ‘’fin’’ running the distance of the ransistor.
The 1st devices to use A9 processors are not estimated to show up for some time yet, and their stipulations have not been confirmed. The existing iPhone 5 runs the Apple’s A6 chip, although the next refreshed version, estimated to be iPhone 5S – is likely to have the A6X (newer version). That is presently used in the 4rd gen full~sized iPad, although might be changed for the lower~power requirements of the upcoming iPhone.
2 Nifty iPhone Games July 2013
Get ready for 2 nifty iPhone games that come with innovative mechanics which take you outside your handset, enjoy the real action and entertainment that has been kept in these two games.
Greedy Dwarf
Crescent Moon Games is known to be best for their massive RPGs, Ravensword and Aralon, but it looks that they are very ambitious to try the new things as their latest game – Greedy Dwarf – is very crazy runner of sorts incorporating lots of gold.
In the new 32 levels, you will play as a greedy dwarf escaping from the dragon. You take his gold and he is none pleased about it. The game sets you in a mine cart and directs you hurtling via fascinatingly designed underground areas, where you will have to make sure that you are going to use one of two various control schemes to to keep the mine cart on the way, all while catching more coins.
The visuals are awesome, but what makes this game more captivating is the way that your viewpoint sometimes transfer from the familiar rear view to the side view that turns objects into a side scrolling race. This is very nice executed and keeps the new levels feeling exciting. Whether you are hanging, boosting upside~down or simply rocketing along via the caves, you will find the greedy dwarf to be full of awesome surprises.
Limbo
We have seen lots of monochromatic game demonstrations on the App Store in the last couple of years, and they are all been enjoying homage to the amazingly minimalistic horror platformer, Limbo. At last, the developer playdead has brought the Limbo itself to the iOS, where it remains to thrill.
Drooping under the weight of accolades and awards, Limbo barely needs introducing. The game is basically a love letter to the minimalism and proves a certain genius for creating a heavy atmosphere with the deft strokes of gray and black. It is eerie and quiet, and developments slowly enough to intact things tantalizing and accessible.
If you have somehow arranged to not play limbo yet, then you are in for an eerie treat. This is one of the best games across any type to be launched recently, and you owe it to make play and time through it… rather in a dark home with nice headphones!
