iPhone Game Review - Parachute Panic
I was poking around the iTunes AppStore this week and took a $.99 chance on a recently launched game from FDG Entertainment called Parachute Panic.
This fun casual game requires you to successfully land a host of parachutists into passing boats while trying to avoid obstacles such as helicopters, U.F.O´s, sharks and thunder clouds.
The game play is reminiscent of the vintage Nintendo Game & Watch handheld parachute game that I used to love to play back in the early 80's.
The game has very cool hand drawn graphics, smooth animations, catchy music and awesome sound effects. The game has been getting good reviews in the App Store and I have to agree - it is very well done and lots of fun.
Check out a video of the game here.
The only slightly negative comment I will make is that this game is not easy. It takes a little while to get used to the controls and even after mastering the techniques, the action picks up fast and furious. My 7 year old lost interest pretty quickly as it was too hard, but personally, I love the game, and for a buck it's well worth it. Click here to get it now.

Rugged phone Samsung Xcover has exceptionally long battery life
The Samsung Xcover (E2370) is a rugged mobile phone with exceptionally long battery life. Specified standby time for the Xcover is 66 days - over two months. Also the talk time is extensive; 22 hours. In real life, and especially in the wilderness, where the network signal is weak or non-existent, the phone will use more power than in an area where the signal is strong. It means that the battery will deplete sooner in remote areas. Nonetheless, the battery life in the Samsung Xcover is impressive. Designed for outdoors life, the Samsung Xcover is both dust and water resistant. It is compliant with IP54 standard. The phone is compatible with GSM networks. It also comes with torch, FM-radio, MP3 player, Bluetooth and 0.3 megapixel camera. The Xcover is available in black and red. The retail list price for the phone is 99 euros.
