Tower Defense Games are a Lot of Fun

If you're into tower defense games, then Tap Defense is definitely a game worth checking out. It's a really fun game that can provide hours of entertainment. The game requires strategic thinking and planning as you try to defend your area from enemies. However, what makes this game even better is that it often comes with additional free applications that can be downloaded in order to access new content. This can make the game feel like it's expanding and evolving over time.

Labyrinth 3D is another game that's worth mentioning. It's a 3D labyrinth game that uses the accelerometer to create a sense of movement and challenge. It's a fun game that can be played on the iPhone, and it's great for those who enjoy puzzle games. Pandora is also a popular app that allows users to listen to internet radio stations on their phone. With its wide range of stations to choose from, it's no wonder why Pandora has become so ubiquitous.

Remote Tap is another useful tool that can be used to control iTunes or other music libraries stored on a Mac over Wi-Fi. This can be really handy for those who want to access their music library without having to physically interact with their computer. Doom Resurrection is a first-person shooter game for the iPhone that's inspired by the classic Doom games of the past. It's a lot of fun, but it can be a bit hard to control with the iPhone's touch screen.

Sonic 1 is another classic game that's been adapted for the iPhone. It's a simple yet addictive game that requires players to run and jump their way through levels. However, some users have found it difficult to control with the iPhone's touch screen. Speed Test is a useful app that allows users to test their internet speeds using their Wi-Fi or 3G network. This can be really handy for those who are trying to troubleshoot internet connectivity issues.

Sudoku and Tetris are classic puzzle games that have been around for years. Tap Word is another word game that's similar to Boggle, where players try to make words from a grid of letters. Tris is a free version of the classic game Tetris, which requires players to rotate and arrange blocks in order to clear lines.

Urban Spoon is a great app for finding new restaurants and cafes in your area. It allows users to read reviews and ratings from other users, as well as discover new places to eat. Wolfenstein RPG is an action-adventure game that was purchased by the reviewer, but unfortunately they didn't enjoy it very much. The app is still listed on the App Store, although it may be worth checking out for fans of the Wolfenstein series.

Zillow is a real estate app that allows users to search for properties and condos in their area. It's a useful tool for those who are looking to buy or rent a new home. Police Radio is another interesting app that allows users to listen in on police radio frequencies. While it may not be as exciting as some other apps, it can be a fun way to stay informed about local events.

Red Laser is a barcode scanner app that's useful for shopping and other tasks. Family Guy: Stewie is a puzzle game that requires players to control Stewie from the TV show Family Guy. It's a simple yet addictive game that's great for fans of the show.

Other notable apps include Battery Magic, which provides battery diagnostics and maintenance tips; IQ Test, a free IQ test that's more for fun than accuracy; Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG), an app for Starwood Hotels loyalty program members; Cut Hut Bookmark, a bookmark that takes users directly to their Cut Hut web app; TM Wars, another tower defense game; Connect 4, a classic puzzle game with a new iPhone adaptation; Snood, a fun and addictive game that's become one of the reviewer's favorites; and Tap Sudoku, another version of the classic puzzle game.

If you're looking for new apps to add to your collection or just want to explore what's available on the App Store, this list is definitely worth checking out. Whether you're into games, productivity tools, or simply fun apps to pass the time, there's something here for everyone.
