Do you like to play Foursquare? For those that do not know, Foursquare is an iPhone or Blackberry game that allows users to “check-in” at venues and then tweets what venue you are at to Twitter. Sounds like a harmless, fun game right? Well it was, until someone created a site called PleaseRobMe.com.
PleaseRobMe.com is a site that pulls Foursquare’s check-ins, and tells the world who is not at home. It also labels that user as a new “opportunity” to rob them. Foursquare still sounding fun to you? I didn’t think so.
It is not Foursquare’s fault that PleaseRobMe.com is using their API. It does, however, make you feel uneasy about playing these “check-in” games. Maybe everyone doesn’t have to know you are at a gas station, or eating at a restaurant. After all, these are pointless tweets that have no meaning. Then again, it’s still fun to do. We can only hope that PleaseRobMe.com will get shut down as soon as possible. Until then, I suggest you not use Foursquare.
Valet Hero is a simple yet very fun Free game for the iPhone. The objective of the game is to point all the cars in the direction of the spot. There are 2 different colors of cars, Green and Blue. If you park a Blue car in a Green spot, you lose money. If you also point the cars incorrectly or park them crooked, you will also lose money. If two cars crash, the game is over. Eventually when you park all the cars perfectly and never crash, the levels will get harder. This is definitely a must guy game. It’s free, fun to play, and you’ll never get tired of it!
As you advance through levels, the environments get harder as well.

Usually I recommend free versions of Radio Streaming services, usually because the ads aren’t annoying and you can live with them. However, Pandora One is definitely a must have especially if you use Pandora a lot. It eliminates all ads, takes away the 40 hour a month limit, and you get an enhanced desktop application that is handy and finally takes away the use of a browser for listening to Pandora. For $36 a year you get all of Pandora’s great features, a sleek desktop application, and most of all, unlimited skips! The service is a steal for all you’re getting. And if you’re still not convinced, Pandora is offering a 1 day free trial to those who want to try it out before buying it.

Gameloft is known for making amazing iPhone games in 3D and have the most intuitive user interfaces. They released GT Racing: Motor Academy a few days ago, and as usual, Gameloft has done a spectacular job with the handling of the game, making it look almost console-like. The game includes 24 manufactures and over 100 licensed cars, and 14 great tracks(real ones) that look so realistic it will shock you. The game also includes the usual Arcade and Career mode, with you beginning as a rookie and then gaining respect and driving skills as you go through the game. There is also a cockpit view, so the driving experience gets even realer. And as always, you can listen to your iPod/iPhone music right on your game. The app is $6.99 in the app store, but I definitely recommend buying it. Typical Gameloft does it again with another great racing game.
