Mana Chronicles is an Action Adventure RPG for the iPhone, it’s a game that has been very popular in China and has been translated for the U.S. There is a very definite Anime influence to the graphics which is a good thing. The soundtrack is good too!

Review: 7 Balls for iPhone

7 Balls for iPhone is a game that resembles pinball and pachinko.

Screenshot

The object is to maneuver a ball from the top to a slot that moves from left to right along the bottom edge.

Maneuvering the Ball can be tricky and requires some finesse. Being able to adjust the accelerometer’s sensitivity would be most helpful. Successfully get 7 Balls into the moving slot to Win.

Review: PinGoal for iPhone

What do you get when you combine Pinball and Soccer? The result is PinGoal for iPhone.

Screenshot

Like Pinball, You use your flippers for offense and defense and Like Soccer, you try to score points by getting the ball/marble through your opponent’s Goal. There are many bumpers/pins that make that harder to do.

There is a multiplayer mode where both players play the game on the same iPhone at the same time. This can get a bit intense given the screen size. It works but it might work better on an iPad with it’s larger screen.

If you enjoy games with a retro feel, you might want to give PinGoal a try.

Handball and Soccer Soundboards for iPhone are soundboards that include audience sounds, referee whistles and the like.

Both have similar sound sets so it’s really a matter of which one you prefer.

The samples sound good, especially the whistles. You get audience screams, drum banging, etc.
