App of the Week – Temple Run
4th February, 2012
Fancy running around a temple ruin getting chased by strange squawking chimpanzees? Well, there’s an App for that!
Temple Run is a highly addictive endless-running game that will have you oohing and awing as you run, jump and slide a character around a temple ruin in a desperate attempt to escape from evil chimpanzees! Using a swipe sideways to change direction, a swipe upwards to jump and swipe downwards to slide, you navigate a character around the temple ruin collecting coins as you go. As always, coins make points and points make prizes.
So did you get one? We are sure you heard that the earth’s greatest gadget (some may question that), got released today. Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 4S raised mix emotions, some loved it some were disappointed from the lack of iPhone 5. That’s why we don’t write up every rumour on Cloud Bite, we would hate to disappoint. Siri is likely to be the biggest attraction to the iPhone 4S as that’s pretty much the only “cool” feature that has been added, unless you love taking photos and 1080p video that is! 
Today news broke across the world as a fantastic visionary passed away. Steve Jobs will be know to many as the man who brought so much to the world in terms of technology and vision. Just a day Apple unveiled it’s latest and greatest gadget the man who has been the core of Apple for so long has passed away after fighting poor health for several years. All may not agree with his methods, but all must agree that he was a fantastic man that has helped humanity push forward and create breakthroughs many would have thought impossible. Cloud Bite would like to wish Steve’s family and close friends all the best and thank him for being such a great man in a small world.
So Apple has announced the Successor the best selling iPhone of all time, the iPhone 4. Called the iPhone 4S similar to the iPhone 3GS, Apple has done little to the design of the phone but increased it’s speed by including the A5 Dual Core CPU. They have also included a fantastic 8mp, f2.4, 1080p video recording camera with video stabilisation. Also included is Siri. This is from a company that Apple brought out a couple of years ago. Siri lets you talk to the iPhone and ask anything like, “Will I need a raincoat” and the phone will check if the forecast says it likely to rain. Also you can dictate text messages, set up your calendar and control music. You can now download up to 14mbps with the new chip and antenna design. Finally of course the iPhone 4S will include iOS 5. iOS 5 will be released on 12th October for iPhone 3GS, 4 4S, iPod Touch 3rd/4th and iPad 1/2.
It has been a while since our last App review but this one caught the eye of myself any many others for its fantastic looking graphics, excellent physics and addictive gameplay! Sprinkle is one of those Apps we rarely see, with its uniqueness and fantastic design it should be right up there with such greats including Angry Birds and Doodle Jump. My only warning with this game is it is very addictive and you will want to spend hours saving the little monsters homes from being burnt to a crisp!
