http://www.livescore.com/iphone/

The link is to the sports scores web site (iPhone app section of the site). What is special about this particular web site? Well it had highly touted version of iPhone web app for a while now. Several days ago I noticed that Livescore.com app is now out as the native iPhone app (there used to be web version for a while now). Check out the web version at:
http://iphone.livescore.com/

and then download the native version at:
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/livescore/id356928178?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D6

After examining both you can be probably see for yourself difference between web version and native version of the app.

More for the same price. :)

So for example if you checkout our review of popular Paper Toss game (see our review at http://blog.bar-coders.com/2009/08/06/apps-“ilike”-–-paper-toss/ ) you will notice screenshots for few months back.  If you download the game now you will notice additional functionality on top of the one we reviewed originally.  I wish the beer was like iPhone free games: Always free and constantly improving….. Maybe in an alternate dimension. :)

Great graphics (tryly they hit the spot with graphics, and in-game zooms)

Quality audio (I have to admit that I liked pinball games more for their audio then for their graphics)

Challenging gameplay (All who have played easy pinballs know what I am talking about; pinball has to be challenging a bit or it will get boooring very soon)

I will not go into more detail about game itself.  I’ll just mention that it uses standard gameplay (tapping on left and right hand screens to hit the ball) and pulling down to launch the ball.  If you get the chance play this game (any true fan of pinball will appreciate it).

Note:  I just checked the Appstore and the Wild West Pinball is now .99 cents.  When I got it was free (I am attaching a proof it was free at the time)

7 Wild West Pinball, v1.1, Seller: OOO Gameprom (4+)

I have to admit this game is worth more than .99 cents…. Great job by developers I have to admit.
