![]() ![]() Notice that I have two Freeze Bomb weapons and 16 seconds of the Sticky Tire power-up remaining. Here's a picture of me racing on the Glacier track: Other weapons (not shown) include homing pigeons, oil slicks, bones, and Roman candles. You can see that I have two weapons - bottle rockets I can fire at my opponents. And, I assure you that's just what happened shortly after the screen shot above was snapped. Of course it's only the first lap (each race is 3 laps), so there's still plenty of time for me to mess things up. Here's a picture of me in the lead (a rare occurrence) of a race on the Giza track! There are also indicators for how much longer the active power-up will last and how many weapons or power-ups you have in your inventory. On screen indicators show you your place in the race (1st, 2nd, 3d, or my usual place, 4th), what lap you're on, and a map showing all four vehicles on the track. You tilt your iPhone or iPod touch left or right to steer, and you touch the accelerator, brake, and thrower icons to go, stop, or throw a weapon. The interface is the model of simplicity. Once you tap your driver, the race is on! Now, just drive as fast as you can, run over as many power-ups and weapons as you can, and get ahead of the three other vehicles if you can. Next you choose one of the 11 available vehicles such as the Mammoth Mobile shown here:Īfter that you choose one of the 9 available tracks, such as the Jungle track shown here:įinally, you choose your driver, either Brog the caveman or Grag the cavewoman as shown here: ![]() To play, you begin by choosing one of the two race "modes." In the standard Race mode, the object is to beat three other cave people in a three lap race in the Gather mode, the object is to gather arrowheads by running over them (while you race three other cave people). It's a lot of fun, and at the "sale" price of $1.99 (see, "There is one last thing" at the end of this review for details), it's a bargain. And with 9 tracks, 11 vehicles, and a plethora of power-ups and prehistoric weapons, there's enough variety to keep you interested for a good long time. Massive Attack uses samples and keyboards in a very unique way, but not all the songs pack the same punch.Ĭro-Mag Rally is an enjoyable caveman/cavewoman-themed racing game for the iPhone or iPod touch. "Black Milk" knocks me off my feet in this collection of moody and eclectic songs. The Beatles are the artists that like to explore, evolve, and change styles. In the sprawling post-A&R rock and roll world, there are two camps: the Beatles and the Stones. With the new movie adaptation of H.G Wells' classic Sci Fi invasion tale, War of the Worlds, currently on theater screens everywhere, there's new interest in Jeff Wayne's rock opera version, and it is.Wow! Perhaps my 5-star rating is simply because the Redwalls are not only new and fresh (none of them older than 22!), or perhaps its because - despite their ages - they are able to totally capture.Remember, folks, this new version has been released as a beta, so please judge the game accordingly.It's hard to believe it's been more than a decade since Ministry founder and front man Al Jourgensen's side project Revolting Cocks released any new material. “The game is hard-wired at a refresh rate of 60hz, so be sure to select a resolution which you know your monitor can handle at 60hz,” said the documentation. The game has no networking support under Mac OS X at the moment Mac OS X users can’t reconfigure the controls or use an external game controller (Cro-Mag Rally doesn’t yet support HID Manager) the objects in the game may have a ’tiled’ look because of a minor bug in OpenGL users may notice flashing in between screens and levels and 640×480 may be the only screen resolution choice. There are also a few issues that Mac OS X users should be aware of. “So now, you can play wide-screen on the new PowerBooks or on the Cinema Display.” “This new version lets the user select any available video mode instead of just a few hard-coded ones as was in the previous versions of the game,” said Greenstone. The game also sports an improvement while running under Mac OS 9, reports Greenstone. “We wanted to release the beta now since so many people have been asking us when we’ll have the fully OS X compatible version and they seemed impatient,” said Greenstone.
