This Week’s Must-Have iOS Games: Joe Danger, Little Amazon, Wake The Cat & More [Roundup]

Kicking off this week’s must-have games roundup is Joe Danger, the motorcycle stunt game you’ll find on iOS. It’s accompanied by a wonderful platformer called Little Amazon, a unique puzzle game called Wake the Cat, a classic beat ‘em up called Take My Machete, and more.

Joe Danger — Universal ($1.99)

Joe Danger is the most beautiful motorcycle stunt game that you’ll find in the App Store. Joe, the world’s most determined stuntman, first made his debut on the PlayStation Network in 2010, and now he’s back and better than ever.

Grab your motorcycle and defy death as you jump buses, dodge giant mousetraps, and leap over tanks filled with sharks to claim your title of Master of Disaster. Enjoy more than 20 hours of gameplay, with 25 characters to unlock, and Game Center integration.

Little Amazon — Universal (Free)

Little Amazon is a new platform game from Bulkypix, the developers of The Sandbox and Another World, in which you help a young girl called Lily free the cursed lair of the horrible demon Grûûl.

You must run through the forest as fast as you can, destroying any creature that stands in your way, and collecting as many coins as you can. When you complete missions you’ll win trophies and gain new abilities that will help you along your quest.

Little Amazon offers iCloud game syncing, and you can play it on your HDTV in 720p if you have an Apple TV.

Wake the Cat — Universal ($0.99)

Featured in Apple’s “New & Noteworthy” section this week, Wake the Cat is a unique puzzle game in which each level requires you to wake a little kitten from her slumber. You’ll have to put together all kinds of strange contraptions in an effort to guide a ball of yarn around the room and hit the dozy cat. It sounds cruel, but it’s not.

There are 60 puzzles to solve initially, with more on the way in future updates. If you like puzzle games, then Wake the Cat will certainly keep you occupied this weekend.

Take My Machete — iPhone (Free)

Take My Machete is another awesome new game that won’t cost you a penny. It’s a classic arcade beat ‘em up from one-man studio Upper Class Walrus. You play a man, armed with a machete, who must slice and dice his way through hordes of aliens as you search for the missing puzzles pieces in each level.

There’s a story mode with 4 stages and 4 bosses; you’ll play through this relatively quickly, but it’s lots of fun — and free! There’s plenty more fun to be had, however, in the endless mode, in which you fight off incoming aliens for as long as you possibly can. There are trophies to unlock, collectable pets, and more than 20 achievements.

Jtpck — Universal ($0.99)

It might be the simplest, but Jtpck has been my favorite game this week. It’s almost like a retro 2D version of Jetpack Joyride, but at the same time, it’s quite different. The aim of the game is to get the highest score you can without dying. Each game begins with a 30-second timer, and you must use your jetpack to fly through gates and add two seconds to the clock. For each one you miss, however, five seconds is deducted.

There are more than 20 power-ups and “power-downs” that will come at you while you’re flying, each of which will drastically alter the way you play. You can unlock a dozen new characters, and there are more than 50 achievements to collect.

What’s Your Favorite?

So that concludes our list of this week’s must-have iOS games. If you’ve picked up something that you think we should have included, be sure to let us know about it in the comments.

How One Vegas Casino Uses iPads To Loosen Up Gamblers

Spense is an iPad-toting “Beverage Ambassador” at the Rio casino.

LAS VEGAS — The Rio casino is using iPads to do what casinos do: get visitors drunk and lose money gambling.

Located just off the bustling Vegas strip, the Rio casino has a team of “Beverage Ambassadors,” who wander the casino floor with iPads taking drink orders.

The system has been in place a year now, and it’s so successful, the casino is wondering why the other Vegas gaming joints haven’t copied it.

Here’s how it works:

I checked in with Spense, a handsome and outgoing Beverage Ambassador who filled me in on how it works.

Patrons playing slots or sitting at the card tables are approached by a Beverage Ambassador, who takes their drink orders on the iPad.

The ordering app is very specific, listing the type of drink and the exact ingredients and preferences (neat or on the rocks, etc.). Spense showed a coffee order. After selecting coffee, options of cream and sugar appeared.

The iPad sends the order directly to the bartender, who makes the drink. Then a server called a “Bevertainer” (beverage entertainer) brings the drink out to the customer (the tables and slots are all individually numbered, making this easy).

In addition to serving drinks, the Bevertainer also performs a quick song and dance on a nearby stage every hour. Pretty sweet.

According to Spense, the system is much quicker and more efficient than waiting for a haggard waitress in high heels to bring your drink 15 minutes after you ordered it (and by which time you’ve already lost your money.)

It’s funny that an off-strip and somewhat tatty casino would embrace technology with such gusto but that’s exactly what it has done. A year after the program launched, the iPads have improved business, the casino says.

Spense was enthusiastic about the system. He is assigned an iPad every shift, which he is responsible for.

Spense wears his iPad like an accessory. It has a hand strap like a large bracelet.

Luckily he has never destroyed one. When I asked him if he had spilled beverages on it, he reminded me that he doesn’t deal with drinks, he just takes the orders.

Not only does the iPad make the drinks arrive quicker, it also improves customer service. Spense has more time to mingle and get to know the customers. Many come back to the Rio and and ask about their favorite Ambassadors or gamble where they are stationed.

Spense said he’s puzzled why the other casinos in Vegas don’t use iPads the same way, especially when it has proven to be effective. The Rio is blowing the other casinos out of water, he says. He suspects that the extra expense of hiring Beverage Ambassadors may be off putting.

But a happy drunk gambler is always a casino’s best friend.

How Apple Has Transformed Digital Nomad Living

My name is Mike and I’m a digital nomad. “Hi, Mike!”

A digital nomad is simply a person whose work is location-independent because of mobile technology and the Internet.

Location independence doesn’t mean travel. If you choose to work from home, but could travel if you wanted to, you’re still a digital nomad taking advantage of your ability to choose.

I’ve been a digital nomad for about a decade, and during that time I’ve lived abroad briefly while working.

Before I converted to all-Apple, all the time — and before Apple launched the App Store, the iPad and had Apple Stores all over the place — the experience of living abroad while working was hard, limited and isolating.

But since Apple became the “New Apple,’ and since I switched to Apple products — and also since a host of great online services came online — digital nomad living abroad has become easy, empowering and highly connected.

Old-And-Busted Digital Nomad Living

The first two extended trips I took abroad were in 2006 and 2008. The 2006 trip was something of an experiment. I travelled to Central America to ruin-hop from one Mayan site to another for about six weeks. My experiment was that I didn’t tell my editors that I was in a jungle, rather than in my home office. I wanted to see if they could tell that anything was different. They couldn’t. But I could.

The experience was very difficult. It was hard to do research, for example. I had to spend an enormous amount of time hunting for WiFi connections. And when I found them, they were slow. I could take pictures with my state-of-the-art BlackBerry Pearl, but the 1.3 megapixel camera took terrible pictures. I had a nice, full-size digital camera, but uploading, editing and sharing those pictures was time-consuming and cumbersome, compared with how it is today.

In 2008, I lived in and worked from Greece for about four months. At the time, Twitter existed, but it had hardly any users — most of my family, friends and even colleagues hadn’t heard of it. The general public wasn’t using Facebook yet, and Google+ didn’t exist. Skype existed, but it was sub-optimal.

I was blogging about my experience then, and the pictures and videos were by today’s standards horrible.

Here’s video I took while in Santorini, Greece, in 2008.

By comparison, here’s video I took while in Sparta, Greece, in 2012.

When you blog professionally, quality really matters.

Years ago, it was nerve-wracking for me to carry around my big Windows laptop. What if I dropped it? What if it was stolen? What if I had an unrecoverable error, or if Microsoft suddenly decided that my copy of Windows was unauthorized (which they did on more than half my installations of Windows in the last few years of being on that platform, even though I was using the factory-installed copy.)

To a lesser extent, I feared losing cables, connectors, chargers and that sort of thing.

Ordering and shipping would be time-consuming (a couple of weeks, typically) or impossible if I was on the move to an unknown address. Plus, shipping certain types of things (computers, for example) to certain destinations (Central America, for example) is almost guaranteed to end in tears. And buying locally often involves wildly inflated prices.

In general, living and working as a digital nomad just a few short years ago was difficult, slow, limited, low-rez, insecure and isolating.

The New Hotness Digital Nomad Living

I embarked on my current digital nomad experience in July. Since then, I’ve lived in Greece, Turkey and Kenya, where I’m now staying.

The experience of working and living as a digital nomad has been utterly transformed by Apple, as well as by a new industry of services that solve most of the problems encountered by someone living not at home and working not in an office.

I carry a MacBook Pro, iPad and two iPhones (a 4S and 5). I also carry a Nexus 7 tablet and Nexus phone.

The most immediate benefit is that while I sometimes work with my full MacBook Pro, a lot of work at tiny outdoor cafes wherever WiFi can be found are much better with an iPad or even using an iPhone with a Bluetooth keyboard. (Here’s what it looks like using an iPhone as a laptop on a dark public street, where a MacBook Pro would light you up like Liza Minnelli on Broadway and announce to gypsies far and wide: “Hey, look at me! I’ve got a $2,500 laptop right here!”)

The world of iPhone apps creates incredible flexibility for making digital nomad living better.

I have a pretty big and pretty expensive digital camera — a Canon EOS 7D. There are many circumstances where I really, really don’t want to bring that camera, either because it’s a conspicuous target for theft or because it’s too dusty, dirty, wet or liable to be dropped to bring along.

In medium-risk situations, I take pictures with my iPhone 5. In high-risk situations, I take pictures with my iPhone 4S. Either way, the pictures are going to be fantastic, even though my “camera” fits in a pocket, and I can walk around looking like I have nothing valuable to steal.

Because of the wonderful variety of iPhone cases available, I can choose cases that conceal the reality of what I’m carrying. The Apple brand is highly desirable to thieves in some parts of the world. I use a BookBook case, which makes people think I’m carrying a little book. I’m thinking of getting one for my iPad, too.

There are some circumstances where a traveling digital nomad can’t have real security. You often can’t really lock the door, or know who’s coming and going while you’re out and about, for example.

I recently started using an app on my old iPhone 4S, which I keep plugged in and running all the time, called Motion Detector Cam. If it detects motion through the camera, it uploads pictures to Facebook in rapid succession while the motion is taking place. A user-configurable setting lets those pictures be visible only to me, so they’re not shared with friends.

There are many such motion-detecting security apps available in the App Store, but I like this one because of the Facebook uploading. (Facebook has to be good for something, right?) Facebook is in this case just a cloud-storage site that puts my security pictures into a Timeline. If the phone is stolen, there’s no evidence in the email inbox that these pictures are being offloaded, as is the case with conventional apps.

If I’m at a restaurant, and someone is in my room looking for stuff to steal, I get an email notification in less than 30 seconds, and I can see the pictures being uploaded to Facebook through the iOS Facebook app. I can use Google Voice or Skype to call the hotel or place where I’m staying to inform them of the theft in progress. If I don’t get a notification, I can relax knowing that my stuff is safe.

Of course, you can do most of this stuff with Android hardware. But the app situation is harder going on Android. For example, my Google Nexus phone doesn’t support Google Voice — one of the most powerful and useful apps ever for a digital nomad. Because my Google Voice number is the one I’ve been giving people for a few years now, people just call me and I just call people, even without a local SIM card.

The vast majority of people I call professionally, or who call me, have no idea I’m in Kenya, rather than Silicon Valley.

The ruggedness of Apple products also helps. While in Greece, I picked up my wife’s backpack, not realizing that the sleeve where she stores her MacBook Pro was unzipped. The laptop dropped from about four feet high, and landed on its corner on hard cement. While I’m pretty sure the fall would have destroyed my old Sony Vaio laptop, the MacBook Pro’s unibody construction left it dented but still working fine.

I use cloud-based apps for backup, file storage and sharing and so on.

The combination of cloud-based backup and Apple-centric usage means that even if everything I own is stolen or dropped in the sea, I can head to the nearest major city, find an Apple Store and replace whatever I need to replace, then restore my files from the cloud and still make my afternoon deadline.

Social sites like Facebook help keep me in the loop with family and friends. Sites like Google+ help me promote my work, crowd-source my ideas and stay in touch with my editors and colleagues. Google+ Hangouts and Skype enable me to do media appearances — I was on Al Jazeera this week via Google+, for example. I appear on TWiT shows occaisionally, including MacBreak Weekly, using Skype.

I access all these services on iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro, and the experience of doing so is fantastic.

As I said before, the reality of being a digital nomad has been transformed by a wide variety of companies, and is much better even for people not using Apple products.

However, using mostly Apple technology comes with a lot of little benefits — a better selection of apps, the existence of Apple Stores, more case options, high quality screens, microphones, cameras and other little touches.

When people talk about revolutions in technology, they tend to focus on the technology rather than the actual lifestyle changes that technology enables.

But for digital nomads, the revolution has been overwhelming and transformative. In the past few years, thanks to Apple and other companies, the digital nomad lifestyle has become easier, higher quality, more secure and more connected than ever before.

Philips: $30 Bluetooth Streaming Device, Soundbar with Detachable Wireless Speakers and an Unusual Baby Monitor [CES 2013]

;

LAS VEGAS, CES 2013 – Y’know how we said something or other about how iHome had an avalanche of new products? Yeah, forget we said that; the amount of new products at the Philips fort (really, they had, like, an encampment) made the iHome avalanche look like a powder dusting. And amazingly, most of it is actually worth talking about. Here’re the highlights from our booth tour.

There isn’t exactly a lack of iOS-connected baby monitors on the market, but the In.Sight Baby Monitor also comes with both temperature and humidity sensors, and it can alert you when the atmosphere is awry. It also lets parents listen to the audio stream even through the iPhone’s lockscreen, and talk to the baby through the camera’s speaker. Available now for $170.

;

The big bar above with the teardrop-shaped cross-section is the Philips Fidelio Soundbar HTL9100, the first soundbar in their high-end Fidelio line. Besides sounding pretty fantastic, two wireless speakers are attached magnetically to both ends of the bar; yank them off and voila, you’ve got a 5.1 surround system (with the included subwoofer, not pictured). Mysteriously, the wireless speakers use some form of proprietary signal rather than Bluetooth, wifi or DLNA. The HTL9100 arrives mid year with a hefty $800 price tag.

;

Compared to all the other flashy stuff at CES, this little Bluetooth streaming pebble is pretty unremarkable — except that it’s $30. Which means that essentially any speaker system you plug the Bluetooth Hi-Fi into becomes a Bluetooth device. For $30. Assuming it performs well enough, this is a pretty big deal — many Bluetooth streamers cost considerably more. Available this month.

Ending Soon! Protect Your Internet Identity With Safe Shepherd [Deals]

We’re all concerned about online privacy issues in some form or another. Some of us are obsessive about it while others are a bit more cavalier. Regardless of how you feel about online privacy, there are tons of websites that have your personal information.

Why? Because of data brokers.

Got A Spare Five Bucks? Grab FTL For Your Mac On Steam This Weekend

We told you about FTL back when it came out back in September of 2012, added it to Day 9 of our Awesome 2012 Advent Calendar, and put it in uur Editor’s Picks For 2012’s Best iOS And Mac Games article. Can you tell we love this game?

That it’s a full 50% off again on Steam is icing on the cake, so we wanted to let you know where to spend that spare $4.99 you might be sitting on.

Really, FTL is worth the $10 regular retail price, but it’s simply a no brainer for half-off. You get to play starship captain in this “Spaceship simulation roguelike-like” game, micromanaging shields, engines, oxygen, navigation, jumps from system to system and the like.

FTL is gorgeously pixel-retro and bloopy chiptune joy wrapped around a seriously intense brain and multi-tasking challenge. I’m still unable to get super far in the game, and I keep it on Easy mode.

Head on over to Steam this weekend, starting now, and spend that five dollars on something that will keep you entertained at least as long as a movie, if not a lot longer.

Easily View And Post To Your Twitter And Facebook Streams With Tap Social 3.0

Addicted to Social Media? This won’t help at all.

If you’re as much a Twitter and Facebook junkie as we are, you’ll have both websites up continuously, or you’ll run a third party app that you’ll need to switch to obsessively to keep track of your Twitter stream and Facebook status updates from all your FB friends, right?

If you want even more instantaneous access to your social feeds, however, you might want to try Tap Social, a Mac app that puts a stock-ticker style window at the bottom of your screen and streams the latest from your Twitter and Facebook accounts in an always on, real-time perspective on your social networks.

The app comes in two flavors, an ad-supported free version that only streams Twitter as well as a $4.99 version that has no ads and includes your Facebook stream as well. You can read, respond, retweet, and even post directly to both Twitter and Facebook at the same time.

Features of TapSocial for Mac
• Tweet & Facebook Post – Right from the ticker! No need to open a web browser or other application.
• Pictures – Quickly identify someone’s Twitter or Facebook handle.
• Pause – Simply hover your mouse over the ticker and your feed will pause. You can even copy the text of a tweet or post!
• Reply (Twitter) – Easily reply to someone’s tweet right from the ticker.
• Retweet (Twitter) – See a great Tweet? Simply retweet it.
• Like (Facebook) – See a great Facebook post? Simply ‘Like’ it!
• Comment (Facebook) – Want to add your 2 cents? Post a comment.
• Lists – TapSocial automatically pulls in all your Twitter lists and gives you the ability to turn them on & off.
• Hashtags – Indicate which Twitter hashtags you’d like to follow and they’re added to your feed. Quickly turn them on & off just like lists.
• Customization – Change the font size, font color, ticker color, scrolling vs. flipping, and the speed of TapSocial.

This is a great way to work or play on your Mac without having to run a full-on Twitter app or keep a Facebook page open in your web browser. It’s also fantastic if you want to monitor your brand or work Twitter or Facebook account to keep track of your social media footprint, while still being able to do the other tasks you need to get done on your Mac.

This is What it Must Feel Like to Be on LSD: Luvvitt’s New Mini iPad Keyboard [CES 2013]

LAS VEGAS, CES 2013 – With seven groovy, psychedelic colors to switch between for backlighting, Luvvitt’s new Ultra Thin Keyboard Cover would no doubt have been Timothy Leary’s keyboard of choice — had iPad Minis, iPads or technology in general been around in the ’60s.

Apart from its wild backlighting and size, the iPad Mini version is very similar to the larger iPad version; the extremely light (the iPad model is probably the lightest accessory keyboard on the market, or close to it) keyboard sits on top of the Mini’s screen as a cover. A little stand flips up for the Mini to rest against when using the keyboard, and stays put with the help of a magnet.

The lettering on the keys is transparent, so whichever color is selected — red, green, aqua, yellow, violet, indigo, or…white? — will shine through, says Eli Altaras, the outfit’s CEO, even though it may have been too bright to see it when I checked out the cases.

No set pricing or availability yet, but expect it to be around the same as the current iPad case at $70.
