iPhone App Video Review: Flick Golf!

apps to the cartoon arcade-style. Whatever your preference, most people will agree that golf makes a fun video game. Flick Golf! is another golf app for the iPhone and iPod Touch that does away with buttons and instead encourages you to flick the ball into the hole.

At first, this seemed like a very inaccurate way to play, but then I realized why it worked. The game isnt a true golf game and instead acts more like an arcade target practice. You flick the ball and then swipe your finger to add different spins and hopefully land it close to the hole or in. This is surprisingly addicting but there was one problem, the game is near impossible to beat.

Even the first level was an insane challenge to pass and left me wondering what the harder levels would be like. Still, the game is a great casual app and definitely worth it if you have some cash to spend on a new game. Check it out.

Dead Space iOS dev: Future is mobile

of the year for the iPhone and iPad thus far.

A survival horror title, Dead Space is a gory, scare-filled trudge through a monster-infested space station. As a lone engineer, players use futuristic mining equipment to slice the limbs off deadly creatures, all the while stumbling through hallways littered with bodies and trying to escape with their lives.

Iron Monkey Studios, the developer behind the title thats published by EA Mobile, has worked very hard to make the experience as strong and frightening as possible. Theyve done a pretty great job: Dead Space has some amazing graphics and sound.

Its an intense experience, and I hate to say this, but its true -- its an intense experience especially for an iPhone game. Dead Space is one among very few titles that really hits the tone its going for and does it on the iPhone. Games on the platform are always improving, but this numbers among the few that comes off the same way as bigger video games on more traditional platforms.

Roll through beautiful environments in Iron Wars game

and Bluetooth.

SIMILAR APPS:

• Project Phoenix for iPad
• Robokill - Rescue Titan Prime

Iron Wars (99 cents) is not your ordinary top-down shooter. You do all your shooting while in command of a tiny sphere that rolls around the map with a variety of weapons at your disposal. While not the most exciting or impressive game, its value is what might be attractive.

The maps are quite beautiful, with a variety of environments, and different vertical levels to navigate around. The iron balls, on the other hand, are not as nice. They look like colored golf balls, and appear to have sunglasses on. They also sport some awesome flashing bulbs on the side. They don't look like fierce killing machines. However, their weapons do make up for the lack of intimidating looks. You can fire the standard rifle, rocket launcher and other cool weapons, picking up new ones as you roll along.

Take a pass on Scopy iPhone app’s confusing interface

to your photo, shows how many viewers have seen the photo, and allows me to comment on it, like or dislike it, and favorite it. It also has a scroll bar for recent pics I uploaded.

One of Scopy's competitors is Twitpic (free). To compare the two, I uploaded a pic through my iPhone via its email link, and it took almost 20 minutes to appear on my Twitter account, whereas Scopy was instantaneous. So much for free, eh? There are some nice photo effects you can apply to the photos you take such as: Vintage, Noir and Golden, to name a few.

Fresh iPhone Games for Jan. 28: Zombie Cafe, Stupid Zombies, Legendary Wars

to your customers.

One of the cooler aspects of the game has you scouting your nearby competition on a map and sending your zombie employees to massacre the patrons and owners -- stealing rival recipes, more crucial zombie toxins and above all, customers. When youre not on the warpath, youre spending your time growing your business, fixing it up with furniture and other accoutrements, and generally trying to be the top zombie-employing food service establishment in your immediate area. Zombie Cafe is free, but is one of those games that you cant play all the time unless you make in-app purchases, sort of like FarmVille.

In-app ads keep users happy inside apps, preventing accidental clicks

and its too easy to click accidentally, Lasker told paidContent. If you are a mobile marketer, why would you run a [cost-per-click] campaign? Steve Jobs was right: keep people in the app. The problem with the approach of a lot of mobile advertising is that the old online model has been transferred to the mobile device.

Kaplan said: The online surveyis yet another suggestion that clicks are not necessarily the best measurement of effectiveness, which is notable considering the relatively nascent stage of the app economy.

Brian Long, Pontiflex VP of Mobile, said, When a user signs into an in-app ad and shares their information, thats the ultimate opt-in and proof of engagement.

Apple (AAPL) founder Jobs isnt the only one who has noticed. Just the other day, Googles (GOOG) Android platform manager Eric Chu told the Inside Social Apps conference in San Francisco that Android will introduce an in-app payment system soon, following Apples success with this approach.

Trade in your AT&T iPhone when you switch to Verizon

their troops rallied to prepare for it.

Verizon has sent out emails stating that pre-orders for the iPhone on its network for existing customers will start at 3 a.m. Eastern time on Feb. 3. MacRumors is reporting that Verizon is telling customers to have their accounts registered and updated at myaccount.verizonwireless.com by Feb. 3.

To encourage AT&T customers to make the switch, Verizons official buyback and recycling partner, e-Cycle, is offering to buy back iPhones. According to Mashable, e-Cycle will be on-hand at MacWorld 2011 this weekend in San Francisco, buying back AT&T iPhones on the spot. If you cant get over to San Francisco right now, theres an online buyback option.

The buyback offers can be substantial. My 16GB iPhone 4 -- which has no technical issues and hasnt been dropped in a toilet or anything -- netted an offer of $280, which would cover the cost of a CDMA iPhone 4 from Verizon ($199) and probably my first months bill and activation fees. The credits e-Cycle is offering are as follows: $60 for iPhone 2G - 16GB; $105 for iPhone 3G - 16GB; $130 for iPhone 3GS 16GB; $160 for iPhone 3GS 32GB; $280 for iPhone 4 16GB; $360 for iPhone 4 32GB.

I should mention that before you go selling your perfectly good, working iPhone to e-Cycle (broken or damaged phones are another matter and will mean different offers), you might want to run it through eBay (EBAY) first, where prices are basically all over the place, both below and above e-Cycles offers.
