Scare Up Your iDevice with These Great Apps

There are 3 apps available for you iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch that will keep you in the horror mode everyday you use your favorite devices. Found in the Apple app store  George A. Romero’s  App of the Dead, 505 Games’ Naughty Bear, and PadWorx Digital Media’s Dracula: The Stoker Family Edition are all available to keep your idevice as gore filled as possible. 

Naughty Bear is an app that involves teddy bears on the attack. This app is available for your iPhone and iPod Touch. In this game you take down endless stuffed foes on your way to climbing up the levels. The unique thing about this game is that it uses a new top down view point that makes controls easy to handle on the phone or the touch.

George A. Romero’s App of the Dead  is a photo using application where you can take new and old photos and manipulate them. You can make friends, boyfriends, girlfriends and family members all undead. You simply take a photo or use an existing one in your phone to upload to the image creator and start turning your love ones to undead loved ones. This is a cool app to pass the time and of course you can upload these photos to all your favorite social websites straight from your iPhone to show your undead albums to the world.

PadWorx Dracula is an ebook application that has over 300 pages of images, original music, and sound effects. All pages are interactive and include over 600 illustrations. If this were a normal book it would be coffee table material. It’s a nice little reader app for your iPad. There is also a trailer for the app at the software’s creator website.  http://www.padworxdigital.com/

Being a Blackberry user, I have not been able to truly experience all of these idevices. These items are tempting to make me switch but overall not good enough to have me abandon the efficiency of my “bb.”  Though as the media games and apps grow for horror,  it will push me towards at least buying a secondary device.  Can somebody put out a Resident Evil or Silent Hill app? I hope so one day.
