Transformers

chris @ 9:53 pm

I mean, I am generally favorably disposed to like science fiction movies and even admit to really liking Michael Bay-directed movies like Bad Boys (both I and II-what ever happened to Martin Lawrence!!?) and The Rock (Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage + Ed Harris and lots of blue side lighting and poisonous gas == good), but oh my gods I just watched Transformers on cable and that is the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Or maybe, conversely, as my friend Peter says, it is the best movie starring Optimus Prime ever made! Which is probably the same thing!

enigmo = awesome

chris @ 2:27 pm

Ok, Enigmo is awesome.  i downloaded (and purchased!) the mac os X version of Enigmo and also the sequel Enigmo 2.

I am embarassed to say it is so addictive I won all 50 levels on Enigmo last weekend.  It’s really an incredibly clever and fun game and better on the Mac (although still good on the iPhone).

I found Enigmo 2 interesting at first (the laser and magnets are neat) but the true 3d interface gets kind of tedious.  Instead I downloaded some user created levels for Enigmo 1, and continue to enjoy it (albeit in smaller, healthier doses!).

iphone apps- the good, bad, and mediocre

chris @ 1:08 pm

best game so far:  Enigmo - really addictive!

dissappointing games: monkey ball (too hard to control), cro-mag (ok mario kart clone),

need to play more to decide:  AquaForest

really fun to show off your iphone and cool technology:  shazam

what’s the point: nytimes (no better than website), AIM (can’t run in background)

seems like they have a lot of potential:  AOL Radio, Pandora

Useful if you live in NYC: CityTransit

Kind of useful no matter where you live:  BoxOffice

Silly free ones that are kind of fun:  World 9, phone saber, life game

don’t really get it and it seems overhyped: Loopt

UPDATE:  aquaforest isn’t good.   AIM would be good if you could run apps in the background on the iphone. actually the only iphone apps i’ve liked so far are labyrinth and enigmo.

i tried it and it’s true
