iPad HD

Square Enix has released an HD version of Chaos Rings exclusively for the iPad.  This version boasts a beefed up resolution of 1024×768 pixels.  For those that haven’t heard of Chaos Rings, it is a Role Playing game designed from the ground up that started off on the iPhone and iPod Touch devices.  Those who have played Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX on the PlayStation 1 will feel at home with Chaos Rings’ static but visually stunning hand painted graphics with turn based 3D battle scenes.

Square Enix is known for their fantastic story lines, emotion heightening soundtracks and strategic gameplay which keeps their fan base coming back for more and Chaos Rings doesn’t disappoint.  If you are an RPG fan or are looking for an App that provides more than a 5 minute gaming fix, your money will be well spent with this App.  Chaos Rings for iPad is available now at the App Store for $15.99.  In celebration of this release, Square Enix is offering all of their Apps at a discounted price for 2 weeks so be sure to check out their other digital offerings as well!

I was eyeing this little puppy of an app as soon as I got my iPad.  Not an artist by any means, I was still curious as to how this performed.  Last night I checked my AppSniper app, and to my surprise I saw that SketchBook Pro was 50% off until July 4th.  I bought it last night and missed an hour’s sleep.  My first impressions of this app were fantastic…the sheer versatility of SketchBook Pro really wowed me on the iPad.  There are so many brushstroke types, sizes, colours and layers at your disposal, you can play around for hours and still find something new!  Yet they created this app with such simplicity, even the most amateur artist or doodler won’t have trouble navigating through the menus.  You can even upload photos and manipulate them with this software.

SketchBook Pro is $7.99 at full price, but it is currently offered at $3.99 until July 4th.  I highly recommend that you pick this amazing app up.  Even at full price, SketchBook Pro joins the growing list of iPad HD’s Must Have Apps!
