Super Stickman Golf
Super Stickman Golf is a 2D golf game that’s really easy to pick up and play, with tons of fantastical themed courses, interesting power-ups, and excellent physics-based gameplay.Rather than your standard 3D layout seen in many golf games, Super Stickman Golf offers up a 2D platform experience.The courses often have multiple levels you’ll need to reach and obstacles you’ll need to avoid to finally get on the green.Overall, with over 260 holes to play across several themed courses, unique obstacles, arcade elements, and local and online multiplayer, Super Stick Man Golf has plenty to offer any arcade golf fan.You play the game as the titular Super Stickman, with three course packs.Classic offers 16 beginner courses, Super includes eight intermediate courses, and Expansion sports five painfully advanced courses from which to choose.Each course includes nine holes.So right from the start, there’s a lot of gameplay packed into Super Stickman Golf.Only one course in each pack is unlocked at the start.You unlock additional courses by playing well; if you meet or beat par on the previous course, you unlock the next.Alternatively, you can spend your hard-earned cash on in-app purchases to unlock some or all of the other courses and bonuses, but that feels dirty to me.When you select a course—say, The Cliffs, par 47—you first choose whether you want to play all nine holes or practice just one of them.If you choose to play the full nine, you then get to load up your golfbag with power-ups.These include Mulligan, which lets you retry a laughably errant shot, or Sticky Ball, which lets your ball temporarily stick to walls.As with the courses, you’ll need to unlock the power-ups through various achievements.Once you’ve stocked your golf bag, you’re ready to play.You adjust your shot’s trajectory using large virtual buttons, and then tap the Go circle when you’re satisfied.That triggers the power meter control; you tap a second time to choose the level you’re after, and then it’s fire in the hole.Or, more preferably, your golf ball.The beauty of this game is in the simplicity it offers.The controls are all so easy that you can actually be pretty good at the game in a short amount of time.To me, the whole app experience seems like an old school Nintendo game: from the catchy, silly background music, to the extremely simple and “stick-like” graphics.Think of this as the Excitebike of apps.The game itself is really fun and addicting.There is something about its simple gameplay that keeps you coming back for more.It’s one of those games you will stay up playing at night- “just one more level” you’ll tell yourself- an hour later, you’re still playing.Do yourself a favor and get this game now.The amount of content you get for a mere dollar is amazing.

It also includes links to the 10most recently viewed businesses for easy access—a nice touch.You can map search results as you can on the Web site. However, the mapyou get is static; you can’t zoom or pan. Instead, you use left andright arrows to jump to different numbered results (or you can tap on anumber on the map).

TripIt – Travel Organizer

TripIt is an iPhone app which aims to help jet-setters, road-warriors, and occasional vacationers alike travel better—and smarter. Once you have a TripIt account, you simply forward copies of your travelitineraries to the service’s address—[email protected] You canconfigure TripIt’s Website to check your inbox automatically to skipeven this simple step. Either way, the service parses out all therelevant details from your e-mail, recording all the importantinformation you’ll need as you travel. First, the good stuff: I forwarded TripIt the confirmations for anupcoming flight to Florida, and the cruise we’ll be taking once we getthere. Within minutes, the Website—and thus the iPhone app—hadsuccessfully imported all the details of our travel. TripIt also successfully imported (and presented) all the details of mycruise, too—including each port of call and what time we arrive there,and even the cabin number. You can tap on any location see it on a map. And if your friends andloved ones use TripIt, they can share their itineraries with you, andyou’ll be able to view the details of those in the app’s Network tab.The app also sports a Share button, which lets you e-mail any contactsthe details of your trip.  Surprisingly, though, TripIt (the app) doesn’t provide all the detailthat TripIt (the Website) does. In fact, when you share a trip viae-mail from within the app, the automated message includes the historichigh and low temperatures for each locale on your itinerary; the appdisappointingly provides no way to see that data. It’s easy enough toget at the weather data, just by e-mailing yourself the details from theapp, but it certainly seems like an oversight. But nothing is perfect so we’ll just let this slide.
