I’ve been using Iphone since they came out and I love apps; for they are cheaper, easy to download and start using. Games ? They cost fraction of price for other devices such as XBOX or PC or PSP 3000, you name it!

Once you keep on buying games, after your careful research such as reading  reviews, ratings etc, you will always find one thing in common for many of the Apps out there, and Apple proudly says something similar like this, “WE HAVE MORE APPS THAN ANYONE ELSE” – okay, that might  be the case, but how many makers are actually making the value of user’s hard earned money useful. Not much if you ask me. Many of the makers, simply wait for a year to pass by before they do anything with the old version of the game, although the old one could still be making money for them. It’s not a marketing practice to not provide update to older products, rather push selling new ones, but we can term this as “RIP OFF” – Give them something for cheap for now, and simply ignore them for the the rest of the year and when the year goes by, we will tweak this or that and perhaps bringout a new App and sell that one while still carrying the old Apps; simply to trap those who don’t do much research and find them self in the net of money-hungry app makers.

Let me put two big makers, so all those others can relax for a while. Electronic Arts, (EA) and Gameloft are two players in the App market for Iphone 4 and Ipod touch and also port their games for other phones run by Android Operating System. What these two companies do; ignore the old version, forget about it, even if old versions are used by many out there, simply ignore those people, for we will give them a new version and perhaps make it free outside and inside, put something like In App Purchase even just to play a game, take the Real Soccer 2012, the game is well better than earlier version, but here, gameloft has made a soccer game which could cost you as much as 100 dollar by the end of the year if you keep on buying in app purchase. It’s not only GAMELOFT here, FIFA 12 by EA does something similar too. At a look at the Manager mode here, they will have such a louzy IA, that you will want to buy coins (In App Purchase) even if you play very well at the level of Professional or Legend. Is App Store all about making sure that you get constant money from users, or give them a free App and put them in a hook ? Long time ago, Apps in Appstore rarely carried anything like in App Purchase, so when you paid for a game, you were done. You had nothing to worry about. Now, it seems, the only way Apple and it’s developers is to make money is to bombard users with this loop-hole, a tricky backdoor where a kid who is using dad’s iphone could actually make a dad bankrupt for a day if the kid knows how to purcahse In-app. If you think I am lying, there are In Apps for as much as one Hunred Dollar. Would that not be enough to buy two games for your XBOX or PLAYSTATION ?

If apple makes In-App Purchase as the only way to make more out of users, it might take users away from this market and you will probably see less and less apps in Iphone or Ipad. If you think  users won’t buy a good game for $10 and then they don’t have to pay nothing, you are wrong. Apple Needs to Remove what’s called “TOP GROSSING” Chart and replace it by “TOP MOST FREQUENT UPDATE”. Only pleasing developers, making them happy, earning lots of money from users who really don’t have to pay, is called a loop whole and those who haven’t protected their devices, Please be warned. It’s impossible to get any refunds and once you purchase In-Apps type, you are doomed.

Some makers like EA, sold bunches of the popular golf game Tiger Wood PGA 2012, for a cost. Now, it went free for a while. Inside the game, there is more screens for shopping this or that than actually giving users simulation. Did you find those crowds sleeping on the hill while you are waving at them ?

In-App Purchase is done for two reasons:

• Makers want to make sure they can drain the user’s bank account as much as they can
• Want to remain in the Top Grossing Chart
• Want to battle with another similar game who might be even better, but is not listed on the Top Grossing.

So, as a user, what should you do ? Simply ignore the top-grossing, and download games wisely. You can protect the ability to spend extra money by blocking In App Purchase on your device. Want to say that this is a Rip off or you love it ? Send your discussions to the Apple Forum. Here is the site, just type it :

https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone

Tips to help you get a game that won’t cost legs and arms :

• Check prices, as they used to say, “There is no Free thing in America”, It’s probably True. Read reviews and see if anyone has disliked it. Also read at the blogs or web about the App you are about to buy.
• Not all Paid Apps carry In-App Purchase, so check reviews to see which one does not.
• Don’t bother giving your hard earned money just to play a single match with your 0.99 every day. Can you add how much that would be by the end of a year ? With that much, you could actually get a brand new laptop.
• Don’t ever click “TOP Grossing Chart” – I find it ridiculous to see this chart. To user it means, the apps that are making more money. Many are free. So think of yourself ? Why would they be there ? Because there are probably bunches of coins hanging inside the App for you to click and sure, you will be spending–at times perhaps accidentally. Sorry, there are no refunds as I am told.

Hope this much helps. Buy games knowing what it has inside. Tell Apple that when you have bought a game, and later if it goes free as an update or something, you should be able to get your money back. Also, just because everyone is going crazy, doesn’t mean there aren’t other markets. In fact, you might love Google’s Android Market. Have a look at it there.

Apple might be the most selling or having Apps, but not all Apps are worth downloading, you and I know that, but often we forget.

Hope Apple puts  a limit on In-App Purchase so consumers are benefited, otherwise, the history of In-App might hurt Apple all together.

Well, what should I know more, Forget about me.
There should not be a limit on how much a user can spend. I think future apps in App Store might have In App Purchase as much as a thousand dollar – I don’t think I am dreaming while typing this.

Thoughts be RIP for now and when will we see In-App Purchase as much as $1000 Dollar ? Very soon. Have your money ready.

I played, had a weeks of gaming enjoyment. The only thing I kept playing more was Temple Run although I used to keep myself busy with FIFA 12, NFL 12 as my gaming tends to towards sports and simulation type. Sure enough I kept playing X-Plane-4g-HDEF  or something like that which is a flight simulator that just blows your mind a way with realistic physics and tons of areas to fly and planes to chose.

I deleted the Temple Run then I reinstalled and I am again hooked. I deleted because a friend of mine told me I was kid. I thought the game was for kids and it proved me wrong when I tried the next time. It actually taught me that being happy and enjoying your life, perhaps sometime you need to be a kid. If your grandma or grandpa is playing this game, there is a reason why ? It’s fun – it makes you giggle. Are you stressed? It can actually give you relief at times. Enough said. There are probably thousands of pages out there with great reviews about this game.

Temple Run, has remained in Apple’s AppStore’s chart as #1 free game for 3 months now. It is not only because the game is simply and addictive, but it’s because of well over 400K reviews and ratings from everyone around the world who have enjoyed this game. Do I need to mention, how many downloads are there? OMG!

I know a game wins many hearts if controls are easy, objectives are simple yet challenging and repetitive game doesn’t mean it will be boring. Temple Run Rules because it’s simple in design and simple in game play. I bet you have already played and it perhaps landed here thinking if this post could offer anything useful. So, let’s get right to the point.

Help me, I want to upgrade the top 5 power-ups any idea which sequence would give me more coins ?

First–If you love the game, and you are not broke, in app purchase of $9.99 will give you enough coins to upgrade many of the top five power-ups and as you play you will enjoy the thought of “Bread and Butter For Developers who created your game, which is free for everyone and proving to us that a game could be for all ages yet highly addictive, fun, simple and it could be with us for a very long time. It will not matter if these are mine or your words, “did you already drive so far?”, for we know the driver is gonna take his or her turn when we arrive at home and I am telling my friend as I am playing this game. Time seems to fly by; with many games this is true, but with Temple Run, it’s 100% true. So, if you are wanting to play without spending a single dollar, here is how you can get more coins:

• Upgrade the COIN VALUES BAR FULLY
• Upgrade the BOOST halfway while upgrading MEGA COIN
• For other power ups, upgrade as you please, but keep in mind, more coins are on your path so go as far as you can – and even coins value triple is you can go beyond 2000M. Upgrade INVISIBILITY AND MAGNET power-ups  as you like because both have their advantage.

• Another tip? Well, Play the game as it was suppose to be played–You will want to play as it was designed at times, how far can you go and can you finish all the achievement called No Hungry for Money or something similar for going the distance 1000M ? Game gives you coin so much, that you tend to collect them all the time. For me, going 5000M was easier than actually going the distance 1000M without collecting a single coin. When you have enough coins, don’t  be afraid to try other characters, although they cost money, but since you have already upgraded all top five power-ups, money will come your way. Say if you have gone to a distance 3000 or 4000M, and a mega coin here and there showed up and you got it, you already have earned well over a thousand in coins in one single run !

• Highly addictive and insanely fun and easy to play! Be warned that your ratings and reviews will surely add more challenges and who knows what’s ahead if this App is to remain at the top chart for a long time,

• More Temple Maps, and I would love to see those monkey eat a banana or a banana trees somewhere, and more monkey eating banana somewhere and perhaps they throw some of the banna on the road so you actually slip to be caught by monkey behind you! I have not seen a single update, because the game as it is enough to please so many users, as of this date of writing, Temple Run has well over 400K ratings and reviews. Head to your App Store, Download and give it a try.
• Play game as it was designed to be played; go the distance; how far can you go ? — this actually helps you get a better score as your final score is related to coins collected and the distance you have ran.
• Try to beat other scores in global arena.
• Once all upgrades are done. Don’t think of yourself. Ok. I am done with this game. What should I do? The answer is – you are never done. Try using Single use power-ups such as boost to 2500M with your coin or resurrect with only 250 coins as single use power-ups. Remember the resurrect is 30 second; meaning if you double tap it and you have the wings that of an angel, you got 30 seconds for another life. The only reason you would want to use this is to practice, but for, best results, go as far as you can and when you know turning right and left is going to bring a death, then double tap it so you can be sure, you can be resurredcted and perhaps bit everyone else ? who knows ?
• A teenager about 15 years old, gives his phone to a friend to let him play. I thought this was a great idea. Suppose you are busy with your homework, give to your sister to play. She will be collecting coins for you, how about that?
• Before hitting that upgrade power-ups, see how much money you have. It’s our human nature to see low when coins suddenly drop to zero. I recommend that you can still have about two to three thousand coins even after hitting the top five upgrades, that way you will always feel like you still have coins and a few run would be enough to upgrade more. Motivating yourself this way can help.

Some serious questions but funny answers:

• On average, how long will it take me to finish all top five power-ups? : The answer is how you have done your upgrade and luck of the Mega Coins and how good you have become going the distance – are you able to reach 3000M ? You are probably not even reading this article. Try to keep your finger as close to the screen as possible and focus not on the character, but what’s ahead and swipe right or left to turn. The common mistake beginners make is to tilt their phone right or left hoping the character would move into that direction. Swipe is needed for this although, during run, you can move from the center to right or left on a single path just by titling your phone. Play for a week for about 2 hours a day, you will have enough coins to upgrade all top power-ups. That’s it.
• I am done with this game- should I delete it – you can if you want to, but how could you call yourself done ? Did you feel like a kid but still enjoying playing it ? This game is for everyone, period. Run, collect coins, go further, and unlock other characters and if you are the fan, you can also download wallpapers right on your device such as iPhone under the photo gallery.
• Help, I am collecting coins and doing power-ups but I keep on losing money and I don’t seem to be able to upgrade top power-ups : Well, did you read the word “Single Use” listed below some of the power-ups under the category “Utilities” ? Those are for one time use. I recommend that you finish upgrading the top five before doing anything else if you want a lot of coins to follow your way.
• I have never visited Temples, but why do monkey’s chase ? : Well in many Temples be it Hindus or Buddhist Temples or any other religions, offering of fruits is common during pray and monkeys love fruits specially banana. The idea behind the game is why not add a little bit of something to drag you, some character, if you stumble or hit an object or you started running slow ? For a temple, monkey fits perfectly and you are running away from these hungry banana. Although, I have no clue why they are chasing you, but I think you probably didn’t feed them well or you are hungry and you have a banana in your back pocket ! If you throw it, more monkeys will chase you. Just kidding. While visiting a temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, a women who had carried a bunches of fruits in one of her bag was crying and waiting for the monkey who took everything and could be seen up in a roof of a house. The monkey had carried her entire bag which contained purpose with some money. The locals did everything they could, there was a huge crowd all trying to help but in stall. Suddenly when the monkey ate one of the banana from the bag, he threw the entire content, purse, bags and other fruits as well and the lady walked home happy. So there is the answer to your question, why are monkey chasing people in a temple ? Well, they do it for fun sometime – for we humans have actually destroyed many of  the forests and they are finding it harder and harder to make their living and what better place to stay than in a temple area where you don’t even have to climb a banana tree ? Just snatch it from someone who has it only for himself. If you do share, be careful, lay it down somewhere a bit further away and they will take the banana and walk away.
• Help me, I am playing this game every day, every minutes. I just can’t put it down. Answer : well, well, well, I guess you are hooked, this is what’s called the drug game; highly addictive. Forgive me for the word drug there, but if you love to run and take part in the challenge of becoming the world’s fastest runner, there is no other better app. My answer to you is : Ok, so you can’t put it down. Rest for a while with other games than. There are games which are slightly similar in nature so give them a try and here they are : (a) Lane Splitter (b) Doodle Jump (c) Jump Pack (d) Fruit Ninja (e)  Ninja Fishing and for more, use the category feature of Games as found in your AppStore Browser. Still having problem putting it down, then Hit that SAFARI Internet browser Icon from Iphone or Ipad, then, type “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and before that, please check all the homework being done!

Have fun and always remember your ratings, reviews help developers do better – so don’t be shy, rate and give your reviews and sure enough, request what you would like to see in Temple Run 2.0 — perhaps the version in many of dreams!

For now, Eat, play, learn, grow and have fun. Enjoy your life. Everyone says the Temple Run is highly addictive. So, play responsibly.

for now, I gotta finish my banana – bye bye monkeys. This ain’t any more left. But I will be seeing you tomorrow during my break or when there is time.

My final thoughts : I think, Temple Run will take over your life !

Were you here for some cheats and ways to get around ? Well, I have a few bullets for you!

First of all, with the new version 1.4.1 on Iphone 4, you are not going to bankrupt the developers, believe it. There are tons of blogs, forums and even videos telling you can you gain all the coins and upgrading what not and everything…. well, not so. I hate cyndia and any other methods to jailbreak a phone–for don’t see it legal in my prospective. If this is who all the mobile devices were to go, where would the App market go ? How about developers ? If you love cyndia, that’s your choice. But without that, you won’t be rubbing Temple Run. But for fun, here is one you can do that will get you nothing but just a laugh.

RUN baby RUN

• Turn the Tutorial On.
• As soon as the screen says swipe right as you are near the corner, swipe twice as fast as you can. If you miss it, don’t worry, there will be another corner ahead, do it as fast as you can; swipe swipe and if your swiping is sloppy, do it like three times, swipe,swipe,swipe……. walla. You got got yourself a long run.
• Wondering if you gonna get any coins or mega coins along the way? FORGET ABOUT IT. It’s just fun.
• Will your score be added to the highs score? FORGET about it.

Before ending again with the cheats, many have confirmed it works on this or that like ipad2 or jail broken phone etc, but there are equally those who say, it’s not worth it except having a good time. Good  time? You wanna run for nothing ? Come on now. Eat that bread and think of the bread for developers out there.

Peace out. Cheats will always be there for any games, but for this one, as of this date of writing, you can only DREAM ON ! You may ask me why? Because it’s a good game and cheating (if it were to work anyways) would make this a horrible game. So, Temple RUN Stands out firm – a good game. Will be with us for a very long time. Can’t wait to see Version 2.0 with mind blowing graphics. Is it a rumor or am I am just reading a forum that’s talking about cheats again ? — Wake me up!

EA isn’t to be blamed ? Come on now!

With so much improvements in a game that had version number as old as 09?

If your firewall is preventing you from playing games online, EA is wrong, you are right for you have given every single files that EA stores in your hard disk to  “Inbound” and “Outbound” FULL in in your firewall settings.  Aha. You just got the screen and you are ready to see if the search is going to bring anyone, oh no! it said, opponent found and all of a suddent it said connection to the opponent is dropped (which should be otherwise, connectiion from your opponent got dropped. To findout why ? I played this game on PC tweaking this and that and still get the same result and having seen online custom matches and how many users are online everyday and during peak hours and where they really are from your PC with signal strength; I have come to the conclusion that rarely FIFA is nothing in the U.S. but it’s a big business else where.

Where FIFA 12 is more popular than in the U.S NFL don’t be sad as both have bitter stories in this post.

Well, I blame you first for loving your so called “more ads, more commercial, more breaks, more challenges, and more scores, more things to buy T-shirts and craps for a game that’s played once a year and cheering up for a team such as G-bay or X-bay who now lost, omg, i was watching all their games form 1st to the last. So there is no difference in NFL and FIFA, really! If you have good defense, you can actually win a superbowl. Amnd your defence could have a belly three times the size of their body weight. Such fat would help protect once also bounce the incoming runner. Do we see something similar in FIFA ? No, because the freaking game has any pause for you to make money such as 2 minutes warning, 2 minutess challenge during which you TV and all could enjoy watching nearly naked commercials from companies you don’t even love – go daddy! I love it becuase the name is so sweet…. go… go… gooo. better catch that ball and as for touch touch down, i thought you were suppose to be over when you get to the  field, there is way too many rules in NFL. Wonder why ? Gives brodcasters to push another commercials and for many grab another bear. Thinking of watching any FIFA games, you gotta be right on your toes. Yeah, scores are low. But they don’t come with huge belly defenders and nor can you use entire body like in NFL; even foot ?

I work as a waiter in a restaurant.

The guy having not known what my hat had written in front and also at the back, goes upto the restaurant TV and watches match with Denver vs Houston the latest NFL 2012, that’s like a week ago.

Sorry DEN won. Guy was not happy at all. But he was happy with my hat which was U.S. National Soccer Team Houston Dynamo. I think I confused him or he thinks I am really wearing a NFL hat ? God help him please

• If you say you love soccer, and you are a man, everyone tells you, right here in the U.S., you are a girl – or something like, for example, that’s a girl’s game. Don’t get offended, just tell them, U.S. team could go further, broadcasters would be more interested if had more seasons, more leages in this beautiful country, but youcan’t digest it can you? You love to speak of rights of Gay, Lesbo, but what about the rights of games themselves ?
• As for EA’s game FIFA 12, don’t be fooled, it wasn’t created for American users in mind. It was for the other 90% of the market. So if you are trying to play online, expect a lot of crash

I love both games, NFL and the American Soccer or football called by the world. But I hate it when I buy something from EA, I don’t think twice.

Will my online play work; at the moment virtually impossible or waiting hours to be connected with someone at the other end of the world ? If you live in UK or else where FIFA is for you.

Don’t get FIFA 13 if you love to play online and it when it comes out, US, Football/Soccer in U.S. Remains untouchable and those who are interested in this game are never called “Girls”

EA  – Update your game, give it free to all U.S. Users who are called “Girls” just because they love Soccer. And as for brave U.S.  women soccer teams, give them trophies for doing what lazy soccer players have yet to do – go beyond the expectation of many.

– ruben

p.s. online play of FIFA 12 might be okay one day, may go to bed saying bye bye I am sick, or you might not find even a single player in your area. If you have mobiel version, you might enjoy the IA vs you game just for 099 cents instead of this pricy game.

P E A C E   O U T !

Best of the Best Soccer Games for your Mobile Device. Although this article is written for Iphone 4, be sure to checkout your Android market to see if they are available for your mobile device that could be using Android Operating System. Most popular games are often ported so people having all kinds of mobile devices can use them.

Are you like me– football (soccer)  fanatic, who is spending hours afters hours on Iphone 4 or other mobile device? Welcome to the post friend. No ? Read on. May be you ought to try at least one and see if you will be hooked. Football called by the world is a game that is as addictive as the Football game of America.

Easy to play, touch controls for passing, shooting and even doing tricks makes this game really cool to play and kill time.

Here we’re going to make many hooked with a countable, yet quality soccer games for your mobile devices. Warning Though!
Once hooked with these games, you will not blame me nor the game makers. It’s your decision to play or not. Play wisely, says LIAE Blog.

If it works for Iphone, it should work for Ipad 2, or Ipod Touch as well. I’ve been told that if a game is designed as “Universal”, it should work on devices running Appl’es  OS 5 operating system.  As of this date of writing, the latest version of OS is is OS 5.0.1 by Apple.

If these games don’t run on your Iphone 4, it’s possible you have hijacked to run some other OS, making your Iphone feeling like it is inside a jail, hope it gets bailed out soon. If none of that makes sense, a popular Jailbreak App used by thousands if not by millions makes Iphone work or break Apps. Most games aren’t expensive for Iphone, some start at 0.99 cents before Tax and if its very expensive, it won’t cross 4.99 cents at the most.

Let’s Kick This Post’s Title without lingering, shall we ?

LIAE REVIEW’s SOCCER GAMES -

FIFA 12 by Electronic Arts

For Electronics Arts – (EA), FIFA is like a world cup, or rather blackfriday. If it can sell FIFA, a  Soccer game, EA believes that it has climbed Mt. Everest. Every year, around October, EA releases a new version of FIFA for all sorts of devices. So this year, it has the FIFA 12 for PC and now porting to PSP 3000, VITA, Play Station, and to your beautiful Iphone with awesome game play, touch controls and retina display with great graphics and animations such as rain, snow, etc. More features come with a file size well over 1 Giga. You can login for free with ORIGIN to take part on daily challenge. While Developers might be busy for making this game both local; play via bluetooth with your friend, or play directly over cellular data or WIFI with anyone online. To get started, I suggest you put the FIFA in Semi-Pro, practice, double tap on the screen and see what happens, and don’t break the screen. I gave my phone to a friend, he went crazy over the buttons while playing a manager mode, he kept playing as if this Iphone 4 is the real soccer playground. His thumbs were hitting the screen like his feet was kicking a ball. I was terrified….. Is the screen gonna break anytime ?

The only way to be best at is, play from low level to World Class, learn to pass, make corners and take free kicks and so on. Manager mode is probably the best option to go as you learn how hard it can be to become a manager. As you progress, remember to put some funds in all areas be it Medical Staff or Scouts and take some break from the manager mode, schedule the team go for a practice etc.  This really helps keep the team’s moral and you got nothing to lose, it’s just a practice — later it will have you become a great “World Cup” Manager. One thing you will love about FIFA 12 is the hint; are you making way too many goals, it will suggest you to increase the difficulty.  That’s a sign that you are doing really really well. Start from Beginner to Armature to Professional World Class. What you will hate; “commentary that say’s this is such a great moment to take free kick, this is dangerous, anything can happen”. I guess the programming got a bit smart here picking the commentary word without knowing where the free kick is about to take place; it’s at the other end  of the field and this free kick will be for your friend somewhere at the other end. Can you really score. Commentary goes, “Players like these are really good at taking shots from here. This is dangerous. No way!”

Yesterday I talked about In-App Purchase, remember? This one has too. You can spend money here in Manager mode if you run out. Now don’t just blame this game. How outragious can another soccer game be, you can spend as much $99 In App Purchase there, for what? Instead of doing the In App Purchase, you can earn simply by playing. $99 Dollar I am talking about here is from another cool soccer game listed below.

LIAE REVIEW’s SOCCER GAMES -

REAL SOCCER 12 by GAMELOFT

Gameloft sounds like makers of mobile game mainly in shooting, arcade and action genre. Did you finish your FPS (First Person Shooting Game) Modern Combat 3 : Fall Nation ? or Gangstar Rio–a game that seems like GTA 3?  Rio has it’s own unique place in App Store and comparing it to GTA 3 does not do justice for its great graphics and controls.

If there is no competition in soccer game, EA would be Microsoft to everyone. By having other companies involved, there is competition and this benefits users the most.

Why you will like Real Soccer 12 ?

• If you’ve played the earlier version Real Soccer 11, you will notice much has been improved here, IU, graphics, camera mode. I just got it a while back for I love every taste of Soccer dishes. So, please let me know if I need to eat another dish. Someone is surely cooking even as we speak.
• Although it’s a paid App, there is always one or two annoying Ad in this one just like the FIFA 12. Even after you have downloaded the game or used it. These days, to inform users, many paid Apps, push texts or Banner notifications right on the game screen -  simply a marketing technique to sell new or old game and also to inform users of their games which might be on sale and you wouldn’t know about it. So its’ good that they inform us. Like FIFA 12, this one also has commentary which is great. Graphics are stunning. There are lots of camera used here to show players in various potition. For example, just before game starts, there is bottom camera showing player holding the ball with one feet and next to him is his friend. Touch, pass and you are playing the game. Tap to switch to another player. When you don’t have the ball, press and hold the pass button for simple defense attack. Practice a lot here just like you would for FIFA 12 and later you will also be hooked with this one.
• Coming late into the field, Gameloft has made a huge improvement in totality. Love Soccer? Get it and play. There are times, one soccer game is never enough.
• Unlike FIFA and the one I am going to discuss below, Gameloft seems to use the game to make some money -  there are so many in-app purchase, I forgot. If you hate soccer, play the American Football (which by the way, has no In App Purchase, wonder why? May be FIFA is thinking of boosting the App to 1Gigabyte in file size from mere 200 to 300MB or a little more for Real Soccer 12.

LIAE REVIEW’s SOCCER GAMES -

Pro Evolution Soccer 12

• Did I hear you say, it’s so easy to make goals from the Corner with this game! You are right. It still remains the same. Graphics could have been improved here but still better than 11 version. Touch control gets jammed at times so instead of passing, you might get a red card, so don’t rush with buttons. Relax and enjoy this fine game by KONAMI.
• Without update for alternative camera view, and fixing control lags, this one falls short of Real Soccer 12 but the hardcore Pro Evolution Fans won’t settle for #1 position for their beloved game.
• During my time of installation, this soccer game was free. I activated leagues. I played and deleted this game to make some room. Worried how I would get my money back. I installed the free version, went to option and clicked the restore my purchase. It did everything. Back to what it was.
• Simple, fast passed, easy to play game, worth very cent. Get it while its cheap, well, get it if you are a Soccer Fanatic.

FLICK SOCCER by FULL FAT

• Do you find yourself loving just kicking and scoring points or let me put it this way, are you the world’s number free kick taker ? This is your game. Inspired from two great golf games Flick Golf and Flick Golf Extreme, Full Fat has given Soccer fans a chance to make as many goals as one can using their Finger.
• Simply slice the ball towards the net and count your points, goals.  Don’t think it’s going to be a piece of cake. At first, one or two players might be there to block your shot, but later, it will get crazy. How is your finger for a goal with five men in front all trying to block your goal.

Conclusion :

There is always going to be versions after version. We always ask ourselves, why don’t they update even a few tweaks here and there instead of releasing a new one with new price tag; since most updates are always free and developers don’t make money from updates. To keep users happy and grow your fans or the market, update of existing products are carried out. Question is Will we see some update of FIFA 12 or Real Soccer 12 or Pro Evolution Soccer 12, all are equally worth playing games. Real winner here is clearly FIFA 12, but don’t leave out the other two; huge update could be on their way to take them to the top.

I just could not help it, once I got FIFA, I had to get PES 12 – for I used to play football when I was a little boy and back then, in my town the only way to play was to fill a globe or sack with grains and hit them on the ground and no telling what ground it could be – full of broken glasses, trash etc. Forget about my life.

Let’s take a closer look.

PES 12, has things that FIFA 12 does. One wins over the other. If you are deciding which one to get, here is a quick skim down.

1. Are you new to football and would like Characters to be bigger on your screen , get PES 12

2. Do you love to make goals from corners very easily, get PES 12

3. Do you want the entire time to do either defense or offense role vs individual players, get PES 12

4. Do you not mind seeing any big players on flashing welcome screen etc, get PES 12

5. Are you among those living in the United States and need a boost to play a soccer for a lot of goals, get PES 12

For all other reasons, go for FIFA 12. But please, put your camera setting so you do not hurt your eyes, I have had tear drops playing FIFA 12 on my Iphone even at Tele or all sorts of settings with camera zoomed all the way. EA is probably working to give you a much closer look than what PES gives like Camera options, Near, Far etc.

Should you get both. If you can afford get them, you will surely enjoy both.

Hope those few tips was useful. And If you think I did not answer your question, like, hey, I am a pro, I know how to play football, then go for FIFA 12 on your PC mate, not your iphone 4 yet. Unless you are wearing specs that magnifies objects near you.

If you complain about controls, there is a little bit of glitch on both while holding the sprint or tackle button. At times even in FIFA 12 (iphone 4 version) player just won’t move even if you tried. If this happens in either of the game, try shooting the all and swipe the controls etc and that could help.

All we can say is, both games are in early stage, so expect some huge improvements by both the company; EA for FIFA and KONAMI for your yet another beautiful football game to enjoy.

Until Next Time.
