7 iPhone Game Descriptions that Make You Go Hmm
They're better than a cliche, but just barely.
As a self appointed iPhone game reviewer I read a lot of game descriptions. Over the past few weeks I’ve come across some descriptions that are well written, some that are out right lies and some that abuse the cliches “simple yet addictive” and “easy to learn, hard to master”. Every once in a while I come across those special descriptions, the ones that make you sit back and go hmm. Below are 7 (not necessarily top) iPhone game descriptions that conjure up such a reaction:
1. Laser Battle
“LaserBattle lets you wildly swing your iPhone/iPod Touch through the air while listening to exciting laser sounds as well as keeping score”
2. SimStapler
“The first true office equipment simulator, SimStapler brings all of the thrill and excitement of a ‘real stapler’ right to the palm of your hand”
-Doesn’t a real stapler already bring that excitement to your palm?
3. Ball Fight
“Ball Fight is a turned based game where you shoot an opponents balls into the goal.”
-I don’t know just made me laugh.
4. FingerMill
“FingerMill is a fun and interactive game that turns your device into a treadmill for your fingers!”
“Each time you complete a board you’ll see Zen Garden come to life. You may also find enlightenment.*
*Results may vary.”
6. World 9
“The usages is quite simple. Press start and put your iPhone/iPod Touch in your pocket. Then jump and run! With a sound effect. your ordinary neighborhood becomes a world of TV game.”
-I’m no longer invited to neighborhood functions
“But soon those friendly locals you met in the casino are showing a certain predatory side.”
-You really need to read this full description to get the full “hmm” effect.

SimStapler? Come on. How much do they charge for that thing?
I would, however buy World 9.
…and maybe Stroll Garden, ’cause it’s got humor.
