Epic Pet Wars: The ultimate MMO for the iPhone


A while ago, a free app called Epic Pet Wars came out. Since then the game has become increasingly popular, the Pokemon of the iPhone. The basic premise is that you're a trainer trying to train your Pets, cute or tough creatures that love to battle, and make them the strongest they can be. The pet screen is full of really cool stats and an interactive pic of your pet. There are a TON of pets to collect and some you can buy from the app store!A player's pet at the pet sc

One of my favorite features in EPW is the fact that you can battle other peoples' pets. The only downside is that the other person isn't controlling the pet... but that's the point! See, when you win a battle you get a bit of the other person's money. So, the idea is to train your pet up as much as possible to get it ready for those online fights so you don't lose your money! You can spend your hard-earned cash at the store on items like weapons such as swords, healing items such as "Lime candy", and stat-boosters.
To train up your pet, you go to the "Train" tab(duh) and you can select Workouts and Boss fights that will help gain experience for your creature. Be careful not to waste its energy though!

Overall, Epic Pet wars is an awesome game, one of the best MMO-code games availible on the app store, and it's free(!) so why not get it?

Cocoto Kart Racing is full of fun!


Have you ever heard of Cocoto? Yeah, me neither. But who cares? The new 99c(Price raising soon, so get it while it's cheap) iDevice racing game is full of so many amazing racing experiences!

This is NOT an average racing game. For starters, all the characters are hilariously animated and really random and funny. They also make all sorts of crazy sounds. Fans of Mario Kart will love this game!

The gameplay is simple - use the Accelerometer(or a virtual D-Pad, your choice) and the gas pedal button to navigate, race, and bump your way through a TON of exciting courses. There are a ton of funny items that you can collect and use against your opponent, such as a speed boost and even a flying fish that targets the person in front of you, causing them to spin out. There are all sorts of obstacles in the way of the goal, like jumps, ramps, vines, and of course, the enemy racers! there are 5 racers per course, including you.

But I haven't even brushed the surface. Ever played Mario Kart Wii, where you can use WiFi to battle, race, and befriend people all over the world? Then you'll love Cocoto Kart, because you can use WiFi to race against 4 other random racers from anywhere in the world! What I find funny are all the crazy names that people I'm racing against have. Of course, you can race offline with the computer(or iDevice, I should say) but the real fun is if you have WiFi!

Overall, I reccommend Cocoto Kart Racing with a rating of 5/5 stars!
