Tower Defense: Lost Earth for iPhone

This is one of the most popular paid apps available in iTunes right now, and for the extremely low price at which its being offered its surprising more people haven’t downloaded it yet. This game has many different levels to play, multiple maps, and hours of game time. Many people may be turned off by this after playing the demo, which can be easily beaten, but that is their mistake. The full version of the game proves to be much more challenging than the demo and has a full range of weapons for you to use instead of a select few. While some may argue that this game requires little or no strategy, there are five times as many who have listed this as one of their favorites, earning it the title of Best Tower Defense game currently available.

Virtual City iPhone app Review

Description:

In the Virtual City iPhone app you will be able to create your very own paradise for residential areas or even a thriving business industry; it’s totally up to you.  You will be able to make all kinds of products and transport them to all of your citizens through parks, movie theaters, and sport stadiums.  You can also add to the value of the city by recycling your garbage and adding hospitals and stuff.  You can plan trees and do things that will help the environment.
Features:

• In this little city building app you will be able to play in over 50 different levels that have five main settings that they are located in.  You will be able to build cities in New York, Montana, Colorado, California, and even Michigan
• As you play the game you will get to go through a bunch of different scenarios for missions.  There are 18 different scenarios that you will be able to play in.
• There are a ton of different kinds of buildings that you can build as you are creating your cities.  You will be able to build over 50 different types of buildings and this brings a lot of variety to the game

Conclusion:

This app is a whole lot like Sim City where you will actually get to create your very own city as well as an industrial and business center.  It is more interactive in a lot of ways because you will be able to create a thriving business industry by producing certain types of goods and then selling them to the shopping malls for distribution.  You can fix up any kind of city you want and make it into whatever kind of paradise you’ve always dreamed of.  You will have to do deal with all kinds of problems (just like Sim City), such as natural disasters, population issues, and economic problems.  Overall, not a bad game, just not super original is all.

This app has been given a rating of 4 1/2 stars out of 5 stars by a few different iPhone app users that chose to review the game on the iTunes website.  The app can also be downloaded onto your iPhone for only $2.99.
