While browsing the App Store this morning, I picked up on a new app that caught my eye. The game, called Empire War, hit the App Store just today, and claimed to be a real-time strategy game “performed by having a huge war between mankind and chaos.” Recently, I discovered the joy of playing Rome: Total War Gold Edition on my Macbook Pro, and so obviously, “real-time strategy” was compelling. Truth be told, there aren’t very many RTS games for the iOS platform, unless you count tower defense (which is almost cliched.) The game, priced at $2.99, has six hero characters and fourteen different types of units. Of course, I don’t expect it to be as good as Rome: Total War, the very fact that the iPhone screen size is so small hinders the management of your units.

If you haven’t heard of the great physics puzzler iBlast Moki, you’re really missing out on a ton of casual gaming fun on your iDevice. Make sure you check out our review on the app here. Anyways, now we’ve gotten word from the developers over at Godzilab that a sequel is coming up soon, to be released on the iOS App Store. The sequel (with some screenshots you can see above by clicking on the thumbnails) brings some great new revamps to Moki, with new levels and characters. The app will also bring a great new level editor, that is extremely intuitive. The developers have announced that every single level in ‘iBlast Moki 2′ was made using the very level editor that they have provided you, allowing you to put your imagination and physics knowledge to the test and build extremely fun and challenging levels, bringing hours more of gameplay.

With BookBook, you’ll never have to carry your wallet again! Well technically I guess you do, but whatever.
The BookBook case was originally made for the Macbook Air, and featured a vintage-style premium case that flipped open like a book that you could store other items in. The case was quite useful, and convenient to store things with.

Anyways, back on topic. According to several reports, including one from TouchArcade, the game has finally been submitted to the App Store, and is awaiting Apple’s approval. We have no reason to believe that this app will be rejected, so based on preceding approval times, we can expect that the game should be out within a week, maybe a little more. I won’t be surprised if this title ends up putting you down twenty bucks or something outrageously priced like that for an iOS title. Indeed, Square Enix publishes some of the most expensive games on the App Store.

If you had any experience with checking your blood glucose levels, then you should know that it can be an annoying and prickly process. For those of you who don’t it essentially involves you jabbing yourself with a needle to draw blood, putting that blood into a small paper strip, and using a small device to analyze the blood sample. Now, those days may be over, with a tool designed for iPhone by Northeastern University that allows your device to check glucose levels, using nanosensor tattoos.

An interesting question indeed, is how exactly do blind people count money? The answer is simple, if you happen to possess an iPhone. Just download a $1.99 app called LookTel, which will recognize U.S. currency, from $1 to $100 bills, using your iPhone’s camera. Okay, we admit, this doesn’t really work for blind people. After all, how can they even launch the app? However, for those who may have extremely bad eyesight, this app could be quite helpful.
