Words of Wisdom

If you don't risk much, You risk even more

Apps - Coin Keeper ( Free ) ( ios ) ( android )

Coin Keeper is a great app to keep track of your money. It offers a really simple and easy to use design. The app contains four parts: Income source, Account, Expenses and Goals. For example in Income source you put job, parents. Account - Bank, wallet, piggy bank. Expenses - Car, food, rent, clothes and in Goals - New car, new pc. You can chose whatever you want and custumize it with different logos and currencies. The app tracks your statistics and tells you if you are spending money to quickly. You can save all your data to cloud storage and if you want to be safe you can even add a password to the app. The app is free on android and it costs 5.99$ on ios. It might seem much for Apple guys, but the app is forth your buck, because it is one of the simpliest and eye appealing budget apps on the market, off course if you are lazy, the app might be to much work for you to write every expense you make in every day.

I'll give Coin Keeper 8/10 for some missing features and a high price tag on ios.

Rating 8/10

The only person that can stop you is yourself

Games - The Last of Us ( Ps3 )

The Last of Us is definitely a game of the year for me. With amazing story and fantastic high quality world it's a must for everyone that owns a Ps3. In short The Last of Us is a zombie survival game the highest quality one I've ever seen with a story that I haven't seen better in any other games or even movies that have something to do with zombies. Yet another masterpiesce from the team of naughty dog exclusively for Ps3.



Artstyle - O O O O O
Business Model - O O O O O
Gameplay - O O O O O
Controls - O O O O O
Story - O O O O O
Sound - O O O O O

Total - 10/10

Artstyle - One of the best looking Ps3 games of all time. With high quality world and incredibly realistic human faces and their emotions.

Business Model - It's what you would expect from a AAA product like this, a 60$ price tag.

Gameplay - It's amazing, starting from how your character react to the environment to all the movement and level design. And to really push that survival aspect to the game, you are most of the time low on bullets and half of the zombies without proper gear can kill you instantly. All the fighting and shooting is much enjoyable.

Controls - You get simple yet really easy to use controls. There aren't any button combinations to remember so that is good.

Story - Oh don't get me started on this one, I can repeat myself that this game has the best story that has to do something with zombies I ever seen in games and movies. To summarize it without giving spoilers, at the beginning you get like an intro which happens at the start of the apocalypse and after playing that short intro, bam you wake up 20 years later and what that means in this case that there are fewer zombies left because of all the bombing and killing and that there are survival camps and bandits running around. So in a lot of cases zombies aren't your biggest enemy.

Sound - Well the voice acting in this is game is fantastic as well as all the zombie and world sounds.

 

Music - Evil Needle - Falling Leaves ( Majestic )

Something calm and nature like.

Apps - Whemsy ( Free ) ( ios )

Whemsy a great app to improve your life. Basically it helps you to create and evolve healthy habits in a fun and exiting way. First you create an account then go trough the tutorial that teaches you how to use the app, and trust me Whemsy is super easy to use. After you have learned the basics you are let to chose the habits you want to evolve or create new ones or even chose the ones that other people created. Habits may vary from doing breathing exercises or pushups to drinking water, planing your day or even smiling more often. The great thing is that Whemsy does a great job explaining the benefits of those habits and giving tips and tricks. And there isn't a better feeling to see all the progress you have done and what you forget to do. And the felling when you complete something and get points for doing it is really enjoyable, almost like playing a video game. And if that wasn't enough you can post your progress and compete with other people or friends, or even get inspired by other people, by their reactions and comments on how better they feel when they learned that habit.

Whemsy gets 10/10 for its simplicity and the self accomplished feeling it delivers. Tho there are place to expand, some small minuses are hardly noticeable and the app is still underdevelopment with constant updates fixing all the mistakes.

Rating 10/10

Games - Dead Ahead ( Free ) ( ios android )

Dead Ahead a fantastic game to a bored out title of endless. There might have been to much endless games as this title seem to be so dull. But Dead Ahead seams to be a good quality product that brings you back to this never ending zombie killing wheel. The game should be avaliable on both ios and android but the android version seems to still be underdevelopment.



Artstyle - O O O O O
Business Model - O O O
Gameplay - O O O O
Controls - O O O O
Story - O O O O
Sound - O O O O O

Total - 8/10

Artstyle - An amazing intro and some like cute design of the zombies and vehicles definitely gives this game 5/5.

Business Model - Probably the weakest point of the game. Tho the game is free and that is really great, but you wont be able to earn much coins in game to buy better guns and vehicles. The first couple guns and vehicles seem buyable, but after that the prices just explode. And forget about those powerups cause those will eat your coins. And the worst thing is that if you want to level up and unlock new levels and missions some of those missions are impossible to complete without those expensive guns. Of course if you are willing to leave some money, then it might not be so bad.

GamePlay - The gameplay is what you would expect from an endless game, the artstyle definitely makes it more interesting but the level design gets repetitive over time. 

Controls - Controls are nothing special and not bad, you get two choices to steer the vehicles either sliding the finger up or down or touching the screen in the upper or bottom screen.

Story - Apart from the cool intro that gives you some idea on what is happening, there is nothing more to the story. But you can't expect more from an endless game. Tho there are some comics about the games story in creators facebook page. 

Sound - Sound is another great thing that this game has to offer, the guns and vehicles sound great and the music in the background as well. And the zombies, well they sound like zombies.
