Paranormal Agency was released earlier this year for the iPhone/iPod Touch. One of the main draw backs of the iPhone/iPod Touch is the smaller screen for hidden object games. Most hidden object games on those platforms have a zoom capability for the player to zoom in and get a better view of the room. Well the small screen dilemma is not a dilemma any more on the iPad. G5 Entertainment has announced the release of Paranormal Agency HD for the iPad. Now players can see all of the objects without zooming in.

The game play is similar to the iPhone/iPad versions of the game, but with better graphics for the iPad screen. Player take on the role of Heather that owns a Paranormal Agency. Ghosts have been appearing in people’s homes and shops and Heather has to get to the bottom of it. There are seven different types of hidden object games and in case that is not enough to keep players entertained there are mini-games too.

If you like hidden object games, but find the iPhone/iPod Touch screen a bit small, check out Paranormal Agency HD in the Apple App Store.

Pubbles is a match three game for the PC. There is also a version for Facebook available for play. The Facebook version is not as robust as the PC version, but it gives players a good idea of game play.

The goal of the game is to pop three or more of the same color bubbles. The more bubbles you can pop the higher your score. The Facebook app will allow you to post your high score to your wall for all of your friends to witness. There are many types of match three games, but Pubbles is a bit different, they have a charity event that users can participate in.

The Facebook version of the game allows players to play Pubbles and earn tickets. Each Wednesday there is a drawing. If the player is the owner of the ticket that was drawn, they can pick the charity they would like to get the money. The more you play the more tickets you can earn and the better chance the charity you want will get the money.

If you like match three games, check out Pubbles.

George A. Romero the creator of great horror movies like Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Creepshow will be releasing an app on the iPhone/iPod touch called APP of the DEAD. Players can now turn any picture into a zombie and then shoot the zombie down.

Users can turn any picture into a zombie. The picture can be taken with the iPhone or imported from a picture library. The iPod touch can’t take photos so the only option there is to use a picture from a picture library. The pictures can then be turned into zombies with grisly scars and body wounds. Of course it is a bit dangerous to have zombies around, so players have the option to use the first person shooter engine in the app and lay waste to the newly created zombies. There is a more civilized option too, add the zombies to a undead slide show.

If you like to turn your friends into zombies and then shoot them, check out APP of the Dead when it goes on sale, soon, in the Apple App Store.
