http://3d-effect.blogspot.com/2009/06/tap-tap-revenge-coldplay-review.html

Gameplay:
Standard Tap Tap Revenge stuff.
This was the first Tap Tap Revenge game to include multi tap and also sustain taps.

Presentation:
Tapulous really wowed me here, I love the look and feel of the game, the menues are sleek and quick and the theme for normal songs is very cool. The themes for Bosses are the highlights of the game, and rightfully so. My favorite is problalby the boss for the Hard difficulty.

Overall:
Overall TTD is a great game, and great if you like music with a great beat. The only thing i really hate about it is that there is no boss level for Extreme!

Modes: 8/10
Gameplay:9/10
Presentation: 8.5/10
Overall: 8.5/10

Value: Worth it.

Tap Tap Revenge Coldplay, a review

2009-06-15T04:18:00.001-04:00

I got Tap tap Coldplay today, so i feel like there are people out there who might think this might not be worth. So let's rip this game open.

Tap tap Coldplay
By: Tapulous
Built off of the tap tap revenge 2.0 engine
$4.99 CDN in da app sotre.

Modes:
The game consists of 3 difficulties (well 4)
Kids
Easy
Medium
Hard
Extreme!!! (Lawl)

Kids BTW: Kids is just easy, but you can't miss notes, and you can tap anywhere on the screen instead of the tappers, we'll talk about it later.

The game has a total of 10 songs. I won't spoil them, but they are all made by Coldplay, hence the name "Tap tap Coldplay"

Single player and Head to head, no online.
The game is devided by unlocking tracks, like in GH or Rock band.

At every difficulty, execept easy and kids, there is a boss track. It is locked until you beat atleast half of the songs in that difficulty above 85%.

The boss tracks are like the normal tracks, but amazingly well made, they're like interactive music vids.

Some extras: You can connect to your tapulous profile and also uploads your scores to Facebook.

Gameplay:

you have 3 boxes at the bottom lined up in a line. as white boxes scoll down to the line you tap them. Simple right? Sure on Medium on Easy.
Sometimes arrows will scroll down. When they reach the line, shake to the direction of the arrow. As you grow a multiplyer by not making mistakes, you reach 50 and you can shake up and down to go into "revenge" mode. With adds x8 to your score.

Lastly, some boxes will have trails, they are tap and hold.

All of these notes are synced to the song amazingly well, and they really do work, On Extreme, you will get crushed, don't expect a easy ride.

Presentaion:
For the most part, the presentaion in TTC (Tap tap Coldplay) are done really well. Nice backgrounds, thoguh they can be a little distracting. The audio files are like the Mp3's on itunes, and they are clear as water. The bosses are very fun to watch and play.

Overall:
Overall put it this way:
If you like Coldplay get this.
If you like Tap tap get this.
It's a great game for a great value.

For example:
10 songs on itunes = $10 (maybe more since they can price songs at $1.69)
App costs: $4.99

You're saving 5 dollars! lol!!

Good points:
Fun.
Coldplay
It's tap tap.
Very pretty.

Bad points:
No online
Maybe a few more tracks.

Score:

Modes: 8.5/10
Gameplay: 9.6/10
Presentaion: 8.5/10
Overall: 9/10

2008-12-02T02:46:00.004-05:00

I've always wanted to make my own tpye/fonts.

Using fontstruct i can =D
Fontstruct is a flash based font creator. You need to make a free acount, then you can start. I've tried it out for a bit, and once you get around to everything, it's a amazing tool. Once you're done your font, or you need to go, you can save it to your acount and then continue later. If you're absolutely finished, you can also save it to your Hard drive as a font file. You can create fonts, then use em anywhere. This site's great, recomended for everyone.

E3, Huge bummer?

2008-07-23T01:31:00.000-04:00

I never went to any E3 expo, but i knew how it was, and after seeing this year's E3, I must say it was one of the worst. IGN claims "E3 2008 could be the last E3"
Hmm. I must say, we are stuck in the middle of the console war, but not too many huge hits were made this E3. Fallout 3, GOW:2, ETC. Nintendo was obviously the weekest. Wii music looks like you'll be playin' and lookin like a douche. Imagine sticking a wii mote to your mouth. wii Motion Plus, meh. Fallout 3 looks badass. But my point is, is that This e3 was not as hyped, empty lines, booths. JUst, not the "real" E3.
