Horde of Orcs updated, Flick Bowling released by Freeverse


Two big updates from our friends at Freeverse in the past few days. First off, Horde of Orcs, their extra-shiny (and funny) version of Desktop Defense, has gotten a big update to 1.1.4, and now features an in-game news system, two new maps, more helpful in-game tips, and "major performance improvements." That last note is of most interest to us -- I had a little trouble getting the game running smoothly on my mini, and can't wait to try again and see how it runs now. You can pick up the full version of the game for $24.95 over on Freeverse's site, or try out a free demo there.

And even more exciting, Freeverse has released another iPhone game: Flick Bowling brings the iPhone's touchscreen interface to one of my favorite games (after all, I did grow up in the very city that hosts the International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame). With a bunch of different characters, locations, and even a choice of bowling balls to choose from, odds are that Flick Bowling is probably the best bowling game on the iPhone (though it may only one of a few, if not for long). The app is available in the App Store right now for $4.99. Once again this is a place where a demo would help us, but until Apple gets its App Store game back together, it's all or nothing. If you do decide to take the plunge, let us know how it is.

I really wish Freeverse would come out with an iPhone version of Horde of Orcs. Now that would be something... Not to mention the iPhone is lacking in the "defense" games department.

Not exactly stable - it keeps crashing as soon as I turned the sound on - so don't even know if it's any good : (

I've played it loads of times and it's not crashed once. When other apps have crashed though, i just do a reboot and it seems to fix things.

Would be more fun if it would be Wii style. Like iGolf. Just set the direction and roll the phone with speed.

I'd say iPhone devs should go on strike till Apple get their act together and stop being such bastards...

Drop the NDA for a start and be reasonable about which apps aren't accepted.

Easy for you to say. Would you go on strike if you made $31250 a week or had the potential of making that amount? :)
