    I just finished a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' style game called Fighting Fantasy: City of Thieves. Any battles you encounter are played with dice rolls. It was really fun.

    And it turns out that there is an entire line of Fighting Fantasy games that are getting ported to iphone/ipad. I think there are four now- I just started Warlock of Firetop Mountain and it seems just as fun so far. :)

    Saw this app recommended on another forum and everyone seems really impressed by it. I don't have an iphone 4, and it doesn't work on my 3g. Not sure about the 3gs. If anyone wants to try it out:

    Weather Channel App is very useful especially with all the rain. How is it holding up in LA? I bet the traffic is just insane from the rain. I just saw on the news its like record rainfall for some parts of LA. Its not too bad down here in SD.

    I've been doing a weekly app write-up on the Houston Press site. The one this week is on six movie apps.

    My favorite apps lately are Evernote (Mac & iPhone), GroupMe and RDM+ Lite. Honestly, I don't know where I've been without Evernote. Once I added it to my laptop, I was sold. The phone app only didn't make much sense, but the combination of the two is killer.

    GroupMe is handy for texting between groups of people and RDM+ Lite is a great remote desktop app that really works.

    I think I'm going to try out DriveSafe.ly for next week. It supposedly provides voice support for reading texts and emails while driving - or any other time I imagine.

    Capcom's Street Fighters IV for Iphone and IPod is $0.99 now.

    Bought the game the day before yesterday but can never start a fight at all! I was using IPod Touch. Anyone got the same problem?

    Yeah I just played a few games.

    It's pretty much the complete new game that just came out on the consoles. Has tons of unlockables of teams players, etc. Presentation is very slick, music is the same, everything.

    The description says vs only over Bluetooth, buy I haven't had a chance to try that yet.

    D-pad touchscreen controls are hit and miss so far, will take some getting used to. Button setup is nice though; the way it works is if you are hitting the turbo button you slide over to the other one to do things like shove and block.

    I think I can adjust to the controls well enough. I think that with a bigger area (like say the iPad) it would work even better.

    So far, I don't regret the 5 bucks.

    NBA JAM is sooo awesome. Dont hesitate to buy it at $5 if you liked the old school arcade version.
