Your Table Awaits at 888 Poker – Texas Holdem

November 19, 2016 by macjeff

888 Poker — Texas Holdem offers up an incredible virtual playing field for experienced and novice poker players alike.

With real money involved, this simulated Texas Holdem app lets you try your hand at the basics of poker with a relatively small investment.

Features:

If you’re wondering what’s so great about 888 Poker — Texas Holdem, by Cassava Enterprises (Gibraltar) Ltd, let’s start with its array of features.

This app is one created for the purpose of providing poker players with a virtual, easily accessible poker platform at any time they’re craving a game.

The games on 888 Poker are quick with options like the “fast fold” if that’s what you’re looking for.

The app also offers players an impressive selection of available poker games at any given time. Games do require a buy-in for a relatively small sum, and cashout is allowed after you’ve accumulated at least $10 in earnings.

Games are also offered at varying levels of expertise, allowing new players and experienced ones to enjoy both 888 Poker. Overall, this app definitely is a solid take on “virtual” poker.

Appearance and Layout:

This app is visually appealing sporting clean, easy to understand interfaces. While the graphics of 888 Poker definitely aren’t particularly impressive, they get the job done.

At the same time, however, a clean, simple poker table is really all you need for a virtual Texas Holdem game, and 888 Poker provides you with just that.

The game is easy to navigate; figuring out how to take advantage of the different in-app features is easily done.

The “need to know” within the app is always clearly displayed, leaving little room for confusion.

Value:

888 Poker — Texas Holdem is a free game to download.

First time players are automatically awarded a “starter” sum within their accounts to allow them to try out some of the features of the app for a limited period of time.

Further playing, however, does require buy-in fees of varying amounts. A minimum cashout value of $10 is required before you can actually withdraw your earnings from the app.

As a whole, I found the “starter” sum to be really appreciated; it’s enough to give you an idea of whether or not this app is one that you want to invest further in.

At the same time, while this virtual poker game provides players with a very non-threatening “environment” in which to play, many poker players would argue that the social aspect of poker is really an important part of the overall game.

888 Poker is a fun app for convenient “any time you want” poker playing, but it can’t provide the same kind of social experience that real, “in-life” poker will.  

888 Poker — Texas Holdem requires iOS 5.1.1 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Listen, Later, Firefox Focus, and other apps to check out this weekend

November 19, 2016 by macjeff

Looking for ways to pass the time before next week’s holiday mayhem? You’ve come to the right place. We’ve put together a great list of apps for you to check out this weekend including a service for anonymous communication, a quick and easy reminders app, and a new private web browser. And as always, we’ve also picked out some awesome games for you to try.

Listen

Listen provides you with a free phone number that you can call and text from—similar to Google Voice. And with the iPhone app, you are not only anonymous in your communication, but you can also take control of the conversation. So you can do things like disable voicemail, mute contacts, set auto-responses, and more. The UI looks kind of quirky, but still very clean, and early user reviews say the service is very reliable. If you like to sell things on Craigslist, or have any other reason to use an anonymous number, it seems like Listen is worth trying out. This app is available for free.

Later

In the market for a new reminder/todo list app? Check out Later. This app has a unique interface that allows you to quickly schedule reminders in a natural way by tapping on preset times like “this evening” or “next week.” Compare this to the typical app that wants you to manually input the date, time, etc.—essentially fill out a form—just to set a reminder. You can customize presets, snooze your reminders, and sync with the Later Mac app, but other than that there aren’t a ton of features here. Later is available for free.

Firefox Focus

The folks at Mozilla released a new app for iOS this week called Firefox Focus. It’s a fast, simple web browser with a focus on privacy. Focus offers users “next-level privacy” by automatically blocking a wide range of common web trackers and erasing your history—including passwords and cookies. You get all of this without have to mess with any settings, or enabling/disabling options. If you use the Private browsing feature in Chrome or Safari with any regularity, it’s probably worth checking out this app. Firefox Focus is available for free.

Neon Chrome

Neon Chrome is an infinite twin-stick top-down shooter with procedurally generated levels and destructible environment. Choose your character, enter the elevator and try to bring down the Overseer – again and again. We are talking about a high-end game here, filled with massive explosions, destructible environment, countless bullets and rich AI behavior. It’s playable with older devices, but for the best experience you’ll want to use a more recent iPhone or iPad. 50% limited-time launch sale. This game is available for $4.99.

Super Cat Tales

If you’d rather kick back with an easy-going platformer, check out Super Cat Tales. Its graphics may have drawn nostalgic inspiration from Super Mario World, but the game controls were designed for modern devices. You’ll be surprised how easy it is to climb, swim, jump and run—just use your 2 thumbs to tap on either the left or right side of the screen. The game features 6 cats with unique abilities, more than 50 fun levels to enjoy, lots of hidden secrets and achievements + leaderboards. Super Cat Tales is available for free.

Light Up the Nodes in These Puzzling Beams

November 18, 2016 by macjeff

Beams. ($0.99) by Appsolute Games LLC and Hellstorm Studios is a minimalistic puzzle game that will put your brain to work with a deceptively simple game concept. If you enjoyed games like Puzzlepops and Twisted Lines, then you will get a kick out of what Beams brings to the world of puzzle games.

Lately, there’s been a ton of great action games that have been out for iOS, like SteamWorld Heist, which I reviewed earlier this week. While these games are great in their own right, sometimes I just need to unwind and relax with a good puzzle game. While Appsolute games seems to have taken the publisher route now, it’s still exciting when news of upcoming games from them hit my inbox. Beams is one of those games, and since I love stimulating puzzles, it was a game I knew I had to check out for myself.

In terms of visuals, Beams features a super minimal aesthetic that will appeal to the big fans of minimalism. The game could not be any simpler: the beams are fairly thin lines of light, and there are circles of light that can pulsate and send signals to other nodes. Along the way, there are other basic geometric objects, like dashed lines, rectangles that block your path, and even special triangles. The game consists of just two colors — a solid black background with subtle moving lights and a blueish white for the beams themselves. I’m not kidding when this game is one of the simplest I’ve seen, but it’s also elegantly done. The animations are smooth and fluid, and the ambient, atmospheric soundtrack is soothing and fitting for the overall tone of the game. The sound effects are rather whimsical as well, so overall, it’s a nice visual and audio package from Hellstorm Studios, even if it looks rather uncomplicated at first.

Like all other puzzle games, Beams is level-based and features 60 stages so far. Players will have to go through them in chronological order, though, so you can’t freely play whatever level you’d like without completing the one you are currently on. The objective of the game is simple enough: send a signal from existing light nodes so that they travel through the connecting beams and light up the empty nodes that are along the path. However, there are obstacles like walls, disconnections that need to be adjusted prior to signals, dashed lines that can only guide a signal once, and more. As you get further along in the game, the puzzles become much more complex and challenging, making you put your thinking cap on.

Controls in Beams is intuitive and easy. To send the signal of light out, just tap on one of the larger nodes and watch the light travel along the beams, following any splits and forks along the way, until they reach other nodes. But watch out — these signals can also turn off existing nodes that are on, so you have to be careful and plan out your moves. Pulsating points in the beams can be toggled on and off so that they connect to the other beams, and you’ll have to pay attention to see if they are connected or not. Dashed lines mean that a signal can only pass through it once before it disappears, and the rectangular switches need power to go through them before they can be activated and moved to clear the path for you. Once all of the nodes are lit up with light, then you’ve successfully completed the stage. If a signal gets blocked somehow, or you make a critical error, then the level resets and you’ll have to try again.

While the game’s design and controls work out well, I do wish that there was an option to speed up the animation of the light signals traveling along the beams. Sometimes it just feels a bit too slow, and I want it to move along faster. Fortunately, the game does allow you to do other actions as the signals are moving along, so at least there’s that.

I’ve been playing Beams this morning and have been enjoying it in my downtime. The design is simple and clean, which is always a good thing in my book. The music is tranquil and relaxing, which is great for those times I need to de-stress. The controls are easy to follow and the game mechanics are introduced to you at a gradual pace, so it’s never overwhelming. I just wish for a way to fast forward the traveling speed a bit so that it feels faster and doesn’t drag itself out, but other than that, this is a solid puzzle game for fans of the genre.

I highly recommend giving Beams a try if you are looking for a challenging but relaxing puzzle game to check out over the upcoming holidays (many of us will need it). You can find Beams on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for just $1.99. There are no in-app purchases.
