Stop those pesky aliens with the appBlaster gun

Friday, October 28th, 2011

There’s aliens trying to attack Earth and there’s only one person who can stop them…. you!  Use your appBlaster gun and your iPhone to fend off the aliens, by stopping them in their tracks.

Combining augmented reality and a fun game from the appstore, the appBlaster lets you track down and shoot aliens who appear to be invading your home and the entire planet  - don’t let us down!

The appBlaster gun is lightweight and comes with a shoulder stock, meaning you can comfortably play for hours and make sure every one of those aliens is sent back to there home planet.  There’s two triggers on the gun too, a rear trigger which fires lasers and a front trigger which fires missiles, so there’s no excuses for missing the aliens.

Here’s the clever augmented reality bit: the appBlaster app uses the rear facing camera of your iPhone to overlay the game against your environment – transforming your iPhone into a high-tech sight complete with cross hairs and game data.  This makes the game completely feel like it’s happening all around you, bringing the invasion closer to home.  This is definitely one of the best iPhone accessories for gaming fans.

The augmentation is teamed with your iPhone’s accelerometer, making the game play at the same speed as you – if you turn fast, so will the aliens, but if you move slower, the game will slow down too.  Even re-loading your gun is incorporated into the game, as you have to point your gun to the sky then bring it back down to re-load; all before those pesky aliens attack even more.

Playing with the appBlaster can lead to hours of fun and you can even play to the Mission Impossible theme like in this video

The exploding Black Bird also has a dock with it’s speaker, but it’s only compatible with Apple devices. However, the dock charges your device whilst it’s playing music, so not only are you getting a speaker but you also have a mobile phone charger all rolled into one high flying bundle.

If you thought the Griffin Survivor was tough… the Case-Mate Tank drives all over it

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

The Griffin Survivor has always been hailed as one of, if not the toughest iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S hard case available… now there’s another competitor threatening to steal its crown:  Meet the Case-Mate Tank case.

Case-Mate’s Tank really is a strong and protective mobile phone cover.  Made from durable tough plastics the Tank fits together from three pieces: an extremely protective and removable screen protector, a case which encompasses the entire handset and a third layer which adds protection to the back and even provides a handy clip for carrying the case.  All this combined provides the toughest protection available for the iPhone 4S.

The screen protector can be moved to the side in order to provide access to the handset; the headphone jack and other ports are also accessible, meaning the handset remains fully functioning at all times whilst in the Case-Mate Tank.

Case-Mate have rigorously tested the Tank to prove it offers world class protection - they’ve dropped a bowling ball on it, hit it with a baseball and even driven over it!  Don’t believe us – click on the image below!
