Top 5 Most Addicting iPhone/iPod Touch Games

Apple recently had a section on its App Store which included its most addicting games. I did agree with some of them, but I thought a couple should have definitely made the list. So I decided to do my own top 5 most Addicting iPhone/iPod Touch games that I have played.

5.             Fruit Ninja

I just bought this game not to long ago and I just can’t put it down. The object of the game is to slice up as much fruit as you can in either a specified amount of time (in Zen Mode) or as many as you can without missing three or hitting a bomb (Classic Mode). You would think that after awhile, doing the same thing over and over again would get repetitive, but somehow I just keep coming back.

4.             Skee-Ball

 

This game is simple, but holds caffeine like addiction power. Who doesn’t love a good game of Skee-Ball anyways? I have played the heck out of this game; so much that I had to take a break from it for a while. What you do is play skee-ball (obviously) and get tickets for how well you do. When you get tickets, you can then go to the prize store and get everything from a pack of gum to new skee-balls to use in-game. This is a great game that I would recommend for anyone with some time to kill.

My Favorite Band Friday #1 (Say Anything)

If you know me, then you know that I am somewhat obsessed with music in nearly every form. If you don't believe me, check out my last.fm account and find out(fill free to friend me as well). I've only had that thing since February. Anyway, since I have this obsession, I thought that it would be cool if I highlighted my favorite bands or musical person each week and make a short playlist of some of my favorite songs of theirs. So here it is, my first installment of My Favorite Band Friday.

 



A band that I have been listening to for awhile now, yet here lately have really started to play them more and more is Say Anything. The main reason they are getting played more than others on my iPod is because they still have a bit of edge in them that I think a lot of the new bands have lost. Their gritty attitudes and sarcastic lyrics really draw me into wanting to listen to them more and more.

Dante's Inferno: Great New Game

Dante's Inferno: The Game

Dante's Inferno is a great new game that has definitely made an impression on me. The game play is incredible and the graphics are just out of this world. EA has really step it up with this one and

Wednesday Quotes #3

While looking for interesting quotes, I came across this man Mr. Franz Kafka.When reading through things he said, I found that I agreed with a lot of his ideas. So, this week I decided to just do a whole post on my favorite quotes I came across of his.

Quotes

"Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy."

-Franz Kafka

"It is often safer to be in chains than to be free."

-Franz Kafka

"Not everyone can see the truth, but he can be it."

-Franz Kafka

Top Ten Beatles Song You've Never Heard

Ok, to say you've never heard these songs is a little much, but I am sure that if someone were to ask you to name Beatles songs, if your not some Beatles nerd, I'm almost positive that a lot of these songs wouldn't be the first ones out your mouth. On that note, lets get started.....

The List

10. Within You Without You  
     -Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

This song is extremely spacey yet still catchy. Because of this psychedelic feel and its obvious eastern influence, this song never really gets the credit. To be able to put together a piece of music with instruments which are not what they are use to playing and for it to come out this well is definitely an achievement worth noting which is why it is on this list.







9. I'm Looking Through You -Rubber Soul

The simplicity of this song is what  I think makes it great. For most of the song its just an acoustic in one ear and singing in the other. Its songs like this one that really shows what made The Beatles great. Even though the song sounds so simple and easily reproducible, its not. Great song on a great album that is growing on me with every listen.

8. She Said, She Said -Revolver

"She Said, She Said" just gets in your head. The heavily overdriven guitar really gives the song its personality and drives it forward through its catchy verses and chorus. A great song that has been lost in the vast catalog of music that is The Beatles.









7. I Me Mine -Let It Be


I just love this song. From its guitar solo and organ beginnings, to its message, to its driving chorus tempo change. Everything about this song is great. Out shadowed by another certain song on this album that will go unmentioned, this song still holds its own and deserves more than it gets.

6. You've Got To Hide Your Love Away -Help!

No vivider song paints such a visual in The Beatles collection of work than this one. "Here I stand, head in hand, turn my face to the wall." I mean come on, that's just ridiculous. Plus it has a great part in the chorus where the audience can sing-a-long. I first heard this song at a Pearl Jam concert when I was only 15 years old and Eddie Vedder came out on stage before the opening act and sang it to get everyone from walking around. I loved the song from then on out and hope that when you hear it you will too.

I'm Back

Hey internet world,

A few months back I tried this whole Blogging thing for a few weeks but had to hang it up due to the lack of free time for it all. Well, I have recently stumbled upon some well deserved free time, so I thought that I would give it a second try. I have a few new ideas of things I am wanting to do and I can't wait to see how they are received. This blog is going to be a place for me to put a smorgasbord of random things I find on the web, a small amount of my opinion on current relevant issues, my musical thoughts and opinions and the latest in video game and computer news. Well, I'll be posting soon. Stay tuned.

Sincerely,

Ben
