This game is set in the Star Wars universe, between Episode 3 and Episode 4. You play Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice. You start out the game hunting Jedi.
Star Wars The Force Unleashed (lite) (iTunes link) is a demo version. You can find the full game, here for US$5.99.
To be honest, I wasn’t impressed by the graphics. The Force Unleashed had better graphics on the PSP when I played it. It was too… boxy. Maybe the full version of the game would offer a better look.
So anyway, the game pretty much uses iPhone OS’s multitouch capabilities. Like for instance to lift items on the game you need to follow this:
There were other powers like Jedi Mindtricks that all use multitouch.
I was kind of bored with the game. I mean, the force powers are great don’t get me wrong. but i couldn’t get my character to rush enemies head on. I know, i know, expecting too much from a handheld game. This isn’t the PS3 mobile, just iPod. Still for the most part of the demo that I tried out. It was all multitouch.
At the end of the demo you are faced with a Jedi Master. Don’t expect to be slugging it out lightsaber to lightsaber with the guy. expect loads of repeated finger swinging to defeat the guy. Boring, I know!
I rate this 3 out 5. And to think I happen to be a huge Star Wars fan.
You got to check out Boxee Beta, which launched last January 7, 2010. It lets you watch videos from the internet and stored on your hard drives to your television.
The cool interface looks great! I imagined that it would be easy if you have a wireless keyboard and mouse combo. I mean, a wired keyboard and mouse, I have found to be too cumbersome to use when you are far away or in bed. So I decided to try the free Boxee remote app version 1.1.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch (iTunes link).
Once installed and running, the first thing you need to be sure is that Boxee on your computer is already running and your computer’s firewall is not blocking port 8800. This is very important or else boxee on ipod/iphone won’t be able to see your computer running boxee.
You will notice that Boxee for iPhone/iPod Touch automatically searches for the host (your computer running boxee). if not, you have the option to manually add or search for it, then that works too. As the screenshot to your left shows.
The Boxee remote app would give you a choice whether to use Gestures or Buttons. The Gesture interface would show the Boxee logo and a Back button. As you drag the logo across the screen it changes to a red color to highlight whatever option you want on the TV screen.
The Buttons interface, would give you 4 direction arrows (up, down, left, and right), OK button, Back button, Stop Button, Play / Pause Button and a Volume slider. Personally, I still prefer the Buttons interface because of more control I get plus the volume controls. I should add that since the Boxee can be used to access internet content on your TV screen such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, whenever you need to input text the default iPhone/iPod Touch keyboard would appear.
If you click on the Now Playing button on the top right, a thumbnail of the video you are watching will be displayed. The Settings button would open some control options. Under Settings, you can edit and delete your host you have already chosen. Additional hosts can also be added here. You can also find a Sensitivity slider bar to control the responsiveness of the remote. Hoping future versions of the app, would also show a list of the available content available, playlist on queue and the history.
NES is the Nintendo Emulator for iPhone.
NES emulates the hardware in a Nintendo entertainment system, allowing you to play games on your iPhone.
In order to use NES, you will need ROM images of games written for the Nintendo Entertainment System platform. ROM images are files containing the dumped instruction code from a physical cartridge, or compiled code from a public domain game.
When I play this game, I can really remember how I played this before on the real NES. Sounds are great (even better actually), graphics are really cool & we can even make use of the accelerator on the iPhone (total coolness!).
Here are some of my favorite games that I have in my NES application:
And here is my favorite NES game of all time!
You can get NES Emulator by Jonathan Zdziarski for free at Cydia.
You can get NES ROMs here. Take note this has 857 ROMs, eat your heart out 
To put the NES ROMs on your iPhone, you need to do the ff.:
- OpenSSH into your iPhone (tutorial here)
- Go to var/root/media
- Make folder called “ROMs”
- Inside that new folder ROMs, create another folder called “NES”
- Drop your downloaded ROMs into the NES folder
So in short, your NES ROMs are in this location: var/root/media/ROMs/NES
With this on your iPhone, who needs a PSP? 
WinterBoard extends the springboard capabilities. Giving us more like ability to choose themes, icons, animated wallpapers, sounds and many more.
Basically, it gives your iphone a graphical overhaul!
Let me share some before (stock) & after (using winterboard – Chromium Theme) looks:
I love this program, there are truly lots of themes out there to download. I most probably change themes everyday. I’ll post those themes I downloaded soon (by batch i guess).
This is definitely my favorite application and this is only available at Cydia for free.

This is a must-have application for your iPhone. It allows you to configure various tweaks & fixes related to unlocking, activating & other similar activities.
I mainly use this application to move fonts, ringtones & applications to the larger hard drive and set a link to it in order to free up space in the OS drive.
As a background, the iPhone has 2 disk partitions. The smaller is 500MB and is for OS Contents (including applications). The larger is for media and other (videos, music, photos, etc).
Since I don’t use my iphone as my main mp3 player, I don’t need that much space for music.. So I’d rather have lots of programs..
This is one app I can’t live without for my iphone. 
Made by BigBoss and available for free at Cydia.
This program generates either:
That’s basically it heheheheeh
Whenever you’re at a loss and don’t know what to do, you can just open this program and let it decide for you

If you are so addicted to Apple products (Specifically iMac & iPhone), then this is the application for you heheheh
It opens with Steve Jobs picture, there are 2 options:
- Listen iPhone (“It’s a revolutionary moment”)
- Listen Mac (“to introduce iMac, our consumer product”)
All you have to do is to tap the pictures to hear funny quotes from Steve Jobs.
This application is available at Cydia for free and made by ndmapple.
OK, I must admit this application is a lil disgusting. ehehe (In a fun way though).
It provides 10 different fart sounds yeah yeah, it’s gross haaha
Anyway, while you’re making sounds using your iPhone and it seems like you’ve been caught. All you need to do is to click “i” so your iPhone screen will display fake iPhone settings.
This application is available for free at Cydia and developed by Godogshomie
There are vibrators in the market… so why not have one on your iphone?
This is basically the purpose of this application. Make your iPhone vibrate.
When you open Massage, your iPhone will vibrate for 5 minutes not unless you press either Stop or Quit.
You’ll see 3 buttons:
- Stop – Stops the vibration
- Restart – Restart vibrating your phone, so it will vibrate for another 5 minutes
- Quit – Leave the application.
