Seek 'n Spell

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Gee, I wish there was some sort of game that combines Wurdle and good old fashion tag"? Well, your prayers have been answered. Seek 'n Spell is a fun game that uses your actual GPS location to plant letters throughout your area that you then have to run to while holding your phone so that you can collect letters then spell things with your letters to gain points. And the best part? You can play with any other iPhone owner who has the app. Vince and I tried this out at a park a few weeks ago, and to be honest, while it was fun, it was also difficult because the GPS was not quite as quick as we were, so we were constantly running in the wrong direction before we realized where the letter actually was. But once you get the hang of it, this game can be loads of fun. My plan is to get a bunch of iPhone owners together to play a massive (dare I call it epic) game of Seek 'n Spell. $2.99 seems like a really steep price until you realize how impressive this app is. It uses your actual GPS location!!! Am I the only one who thinks that this is the coolest thing ever??? The AppStore could really use more apps like this; Apps that use more of the iPhone's special extras to make for a really awesome experience. That's why we all bought these phones to begin with, right?

Word Fu

Who doesn't love a word-based iPhone game? I know I sure do. For the longest time, I was addicted to Wurdle (a really awesome app!), but then I cam across WordFu. This is one of my most used apps. It's made by the same people who made Rolando, NGMoco, so you know it has to be good! All you have to do is tap the dice with letters on them to spell words and then shake the phone to enter your word. If that sounds too basic, don't worry because it also has bonuses such as a fire round where all your words you enter are doubled and an ice round where it freezes the clock so you can have more time to make words. It is a fast paced game that doesn't get boring. It's $.99 price tag makes it all the more awesome when compared to Wurdle's $1.99 price.
