iPhone App Review: Galcon 10/10
Posted by ChrisSo I've noticed iPhone reviewers generally only review games they like. Not surprising as there are so many crappy apps out there so to review them all would take forever and probably be really boring. Next time I'll review some less then amazing games and pack them all into one post just to be fair.
So on to Galcon. I have been playing this game for a while and still find it fast, fun, and challenging. It is a Real time strategy game set of interplanetary warfare. It is similar to the game played at the end of "Ender's Game" if you've ever read that. Think space risk but not turn based. It is very simple and a lot o fun.
You start off controlling one planet which gives you so many resources (guys) a second. You send your space ships out and have them take over other planets which will give you more guys. You want to take over as many planets as you can while trying to stop your opponent from doing the same and eventually wiping them out. There are a few different versions of the game which ahve different rules but I rarely play them the Classic is challenging enough for me.
Whenever anyone asks me what Games they should try on there iPhone this is the first one I recommend.
Gears of War 2 Party

Alexis, Micheal, Nate, and I beat level 50 of Horde in Gears of War 2 last night. We hooked up 2 XBoxs to 2 TVs and played for about 3 hours. So awesome!
It was so much fun. We need to do more LAN parties.
Next we're going to up the difficulty and try to beat it again.
