Last month we launched Apps of the Month a series dedicated to profiling iPhone apps that you should actually buy instead of the ones that simply got the most hype This is a tough task given the 100000 apps on the store and the fact that discovery is an absurdly difficult task even for those who spend as much time as we do playing with iPhone apps Of course we scoured our inboxes and the App Store in search of fun interesting and useful Some will tickle your fancy and others wont be your cup of tea but regardless its better to have some than none Enjoy Best Apps of November is our second edition of this series Admittedly we still dont have as many indie apps as we would like so were going to provide every developer with a way to get on the list To submit an app for our Apps of the Month list send details of your app and preferably a review code to and Ill check them out To be fairto you I promise to download and test every app I get In the meantime hit the jump to check out this months list Eliminate Pro iTunes Link Free This is my iPhone Game of the Month Perhaps the biggest launch of the month was Eliminate Pro by ngmoco a major iPhone game publisher funded by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers iFund Within just 2 days Eliminate Pro was downloaded 500000 times which is absolutely absurd The game is in many ways it is one of the biggest free apps ever released on the iPhone A major publisher ngmoco has bet on inapp purchases for free games just months after Apple announced the feature Finally the game is addictive and an impressive feat of technology for the iPhone It is a online multiplayer shooter The controls are intuitive and fairly precise Overall its a fantastic value on the iPhone and proves yet again how powerful this device can be The downside issimple though the app is free you can only play for a limited amount of time You start off with enough energy to play roughly 4 games for the first hour and then it takes another 3 hours before you can play the game again Personally this didnt bother me since I usually play iPhone games for short bursts However there was a torrent of criticism regarding this on the App Store in fact 15000 out of 50000 ratings are for 1 star And the reason is clear there are hundreds of reviews on the store like this They really nickle and dime you for this Obviously many App Store customers are not quite ready for the paytoplay model Asphalt 5 iTunes Link 699 Ive said this before but the iPhone is the perfect device for racing games especially with controls and powerful graphics Gamelofts Asphalt 5 takes full advantage and brings a powerful racer to the iPhone With slick 3D graphics and this racing game will undoubtedly leave you satisfied with your purchase The game features a vast array of cars from the to Corvettes to Ducati There are also a variety of game modes including time trial cop chase where you try to force as many opponents as possible to crash and traditional races Add the fact that you can race in Las Vegas San Francisco Hawaii and Rio de Janeiro and youve got a handheld bucket of racing goodness Judgment Day War iTunes link 099 Judgment Day War by G5 is like a realtime version of Risk the classic board game where you try to dominate the world In Judgment Day you control an army of either tanks helicopters or both and your goal is to destroy the enemys troops It is extremely simple when you play it you get a certain number of troops on each of your and your opponent has the same there are blank territories with unaligned troops that youcan conquer More territories means your troops replenish faster and certain territories have stronger defenses to fend off enemies I picked this game up and didnt stop playing it until I was done Took me a short 2 days which is definitely the only downside to the game But when the worst part of a 1 game is that you wish they made more levels you know its more worthy of your Washington than a McDouble TouchPets Dogs iTunes Link Free Another virtual game from ngmoco Touch Pets Dogs is like a modern Tamagotchi It is a handheld virtual pet you choose from one of many varieties of dogs and you name dress feed and bathe the pet Honestly Im not much of a virtual pet person I had a Tamagatchi when I was younger but that was more to be like the other kids in school than it was out of personal interest That said this app is extremely well done and I definitely think its perfect for girls acommenter on last months Apps of the Month requested more apps for women You can do pretty much anything to your pet including playing ball or fetch giving it a bath feeding it dressing it etc The only time you pay is if you want your pet to live in which case youll have to buy food to feed it Fantasy Warrior Good Evil iTunes Link 099 Fantasy Warrior Good Evil is kind of an iPhone version of Zelda Its an RPG but with graphics that still look like theyre from the Gameboy days Naturally I was skeptical of the game and honestly it was hit or miss from me in the beginning That said it is extremely deep and for 1 it is a great buy for RPG fans or people who are just bored and want a cheap long game to dig their heels into Made by Digital Chocolate Fantasy Warrior doesnt have the flair of a Gameloft or ngmoco game The fight scenes are a joke you move in 2D and slash your sword at theenemy with awkward battle mechanics However the RPG nature really keeps you hooked the game is challenging enough that it keeps you involved and easy enough that you dont find yourself trying to beat a boss more than three times before succeeding Zosh iTunes link 299 This app simply isnt for everyone but for those of us who need to sign or edit documents regularly its a clear winner Zosh is an app that lets you take PDFs only format supported for now and sign them or write on them via your iPhone If you get a form for work or from a that you need to sign you forward the email to and then bring up the app on your iPhone Zosh downloads the document for you and you can tap anywhere on the document to sign or write on it If you want to sign it uses the iPhone in landscape mode and lets you sign as the screen moves You have to try it to really understand but essentially yousign your name on your iPhone while the paper youre writing on moves so you can fit your entire signature on the small iPhone screen Anyways its extremely well done and this app provides solid utility for anyone whos on the go often or simply doesnt want to physically print and sign documents Rogue Planet iTunes link 499 I got two realtime strategy games in my inbox this month Command and Conquer Red Alert iTunes Link by EA and The Settlers iTunes Link by Gameloft Both were impressive and I enjoyed my time with them but neither made the list Perhaps it was because I think the control scheme for a RealTime Strategy game on the iPhone has yet to be mastered Or maybe its just because Rogue Planet a TurnBased Strategy developed by Agharta Studios was far more compelling Published by Gameloft Rogue Planet is a sweet mix of hot graphics and addictive gameplay It is a solid buy for fans
