Most gamers will have their own favorite Breakout clone, be it Arkanoid or even Brick Breaker on the BlackBerry.  For me though, it will always be Batty, a bat-and-ball game on the ZX Spectrum in the late 80s, and the reason for this is simple; the co-operative two-player mode was enormous fun.  iPad brick destroyer

We weren’t totally convinced and suggested that pinches of salt were needed at the time, and now thanks to a commenter on our original post plus an article over at The Next Web, iPad owners should be able to sleep happy in the knowledge that Apple won’t be holding their hand out when it comes

Twilight? Vampires? Werewolves?  Really? Come on. They’re good for scaring and maybe titillating teenage girls — but Zombies are real. At the beach last month, I read  Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and  World War Z ; I drank zombies; I listened to Rob Zombie; I rented  Shaun of the Dead ; And of course I played zombie apps. If, like me, you think the only thing tastier than a fresh brain is a fresh zombie app, read on! Plants vs. Zombies , $2.99, Rating 8/10 For those that haven’t played the  desktop version of PvZ , Plants vs. Zombies is a cute and irreverent addition to the zombie genre—the graphics are cartoon-like, not ghoulish. The app is a casual tower defense game — simplified down to its essence — where you use an arsenal of plants to fight off 26 different types of zombies. PvZ is playable but not especially challenging. The fun in this game is in seeing what the next level will bring—new “bio-weapons,” imaginative obstacles, or some as-yet unknown cannibalistic cuteness. Also check out Plants vs Zombies for the iPad , $9.99, with a few extra games and crisp High-Definition graphics. Zombie Attack: Second Wave XL , $3.99, Rating: 9/10 The ZA franchise is legendary in pocket zombie circles, and the IUGO guys have outdone themselves in this all-device offering. ZA2 is a tower defense zombie-blaster extraordinaire, and the iPad app lets you share the mayhem in co-op mode. Whichever device you use, you have access to your iPod music throughout the game, plus scads of weapons, turrets, zombie types, and costumes.

Using a budget calculator is probably a regular entry on New Year’s resolution lists, but if you’re anything like me, such a well-intentioned promise goes right out the window the minute you hit the sales.  Besides, updating a program like this on a desktop machine takes too much time/may intrude on those precious moments logging

Toast Shooter HD turns your iPad into a shooting gallery with the object of taking down the most formidable of enemies: toast. It is a great game that is especially enjoyable on the iPad’s larger screen. Play begins with a toaster popping up and then launching multiple pieces of toast into the air. In order to earn points you must blast them out of the sky with your jelly cannon; aka your finger. For every miss a jelly meter at the top of the screen drops. If the meter goes empty then the game is over. However, you can’t just whack away at every flying slice in Toast Shooter HD . Burnt toast is sometimes launched, which will further drain the jelly meter if hit. Also the longer you keep going the more toasters appear on screen, which will soon have bread flying all over the place.
