If you are interested in art and culture, then check out the first app introduced by the Asia Society Museum. Already available under various headings in iTunes U, the Asia Society Museum, located in New York, promotes Asian and Asian American art. Their app, Asia Society Museum: Yoshitomo Nara was created specifically for one of their current exhibitions featuring Nara, the neo-pop artist whose work is inspired by punk-rock culture. This companion app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and features works from Yoshitomo Nara’s Nobody’s Fool collection. Users can view information about the artist, the exhibition, and of course, the art work. His work is organized by three thematic categories – isolation, rebellion, and music. With tons of information about the artist’s inspirations, the relationship of his work with each theme, and even further reading about the museum, even those who can’t attend the exhibition can still be part of it.(…) Read the rest of Asia Society Museum: Yoshitomo Nara All App Reviews © AppCraver.com, 2010. | Asia Society Museum: Yoshitomo Nara | Best iPad Apps | Best Free Apps

Brick-Breaking Competition Awaits with Splash Duel HD

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

Splash Duel HD is like a hybrid of  Breakout and air hockey. In many ways it combines the best of both games and creates a very addicting experience. Just like Breakout you must bounce balls off of bricks with a paddle. Splash Duel HD is set in an underwater world, so expect a coral background and the steady sound of the deep as background noise. It is fairly easily controlled, however from time to time it seemed like the paddle was not quite keeping up with finger movements. Instead of just racking up points by breaking bricks the ultimate goal is to get balls past your opponent to score points. When time expires the player (human or computer) with the most points wins the game. There are plenty of ways to up the action during a round. By breaking certain bricks fish with extra powers are released. Included are  extra balls, lasers to zap bricks, racket-widening and shields.  Not all the aquatic gifts are positive, however. Some will shrink the paddle or wreak other havoc on your gameplay. The game’s information section also displays manually activated bonuses, such as shields or other boosts to your skills.(…) Read the rest of Brick-Breaking Competition Awaits with Splash Duel HD All App Reviews © AppCraver.com, 2010. | Brick-Breaking Competition Awaits with Splash Duel HD | Best iPad Apps | Best Free Apps

ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection Vol.1 iPhone App Review – 8-Bit Fun!

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

The Sinclair Spectrum was the first home computer I owned, a snazzy – at the time – 128K +2 model with a built-in tape deck, and while it didn’t influence my future the way my Amiga did, it certainly saw me along the right road. Therefore, anything Speccy-related today is looked at through rose-tinted glasses, because
