Settlers of Catan [$4.99 / HD] is considered, rightly, as one of the best board game-to-digital ports on the App Store. But other than just generally being sharp, it's also infinitely expandable, which is a great thing for the fans. Capitalizing on this is developer Exozet, who just shot Pocket Gamer a note that a new expansion is slated to hit later this year. So, what is this upcoming expansion? Cities and Knights, which is easily one of the most aggressive expansions of the bunch. In it, you’ll develop cities while using knights to attack other players as well as help opponents defend the world from barbarians from across the ocean. The expansion also ushers in new cards that bolster the overall vibe of the experience. Overall, there are a lot of fine details in this package, so if you're really interested in Cities And Knights, the Wikipedia article on it Read More

The great Catan iOS game has added in its first expansion, available via an in-app purchase, and it's based on the Seafarers of Catan expansion from the original German board game. The expansion introduces ships and shipping routes to the kingdom-building simulation, and it includes 10 different scenarios to build ships in, as well as pirates, a Gold River tile and some extra victory cards with different bonuses. The expansion content is US$3.99 inside the app, but even if you don't want to shell out the extra four bucks, one of the scenarios is included, so you can at least see how it changes the game. The Catan app itself has been critically acclaimed, and I really like this model of releasing content -- it seems like a nice solid way of both making sure that content updates are significant improvements to an app, as well as allowing developers to get Read More

Posted 12/31/2010 at 1:47pm | by Roberto Baldwin We thought about throwing a bunch of hardware on the floor and letting our pets pick the winner. Sure that sounds awesome in theory, but the bosses said we were being lazy, that we needed to put our animals away and get back to work. By the way, they picked the MacBook Air. Pets love the Macbook Air. A piece of paper that fell into the pile came in a close second. So here is the top wares for 2010 as picked by the Mac|Life editors.

It's time to head off to the nearest Coinstar machine to turn the treasures lost to your couch cushions in to iTunes credit, as this week has some sales you likely won't want to miss. As usual, all of these prices are current as of this posting and because of the nature of App Store price fluctuations it's usually not a good idea to wait very long if any of these games interest you. The star of the show this week is Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, a game that we not only loved in our review but also awarded 5 stars in our January "Best iPhone Games" round up. For a limited time to celebrate the Chinese new year, Chinatown Wars will be available for $6.99, down from its original $9.99. If you haven't bought this game yet, this is a sale you won't want to miss. There are also Read More

Catan. If you've ever visited, there's a good chance you're passionate about it. First unveiled as a traditional board game in 1995, the now-classic trading and settlement game has evolved over the years to include dozens of scenarios, expansions and reworkings, from limited edition game maps to browser-based Internet versions. Naturally, the Settlers of Catan is now also available for the iPhone [iTunes link], and it's a a damn good condensed version. First things first. This is the full, but basic, game. The original ruleset isn't condensed at all, but none of the expansions are present in the current version. While long-time board gamers might scoff at simple "vanilla Settlers," the basic game as presented in Exozet's iPhone version acts just like the tabletop big brother. You can choose to play on the fixed beginner board or a random map, you can play with three or four people (or bots), you Read More

Colonize a new land with this classic board game finally making it to the iPhone. How does it fare? Let’s find out! Originally a board game, Catan provides a port of a classic board game in a fantastic, clean way that suits the iPhone’s controls very nicely For all you fans and anyone who loves a good strategy game, THIS IS FOR YOU! Presentation While I never actually played the board game itself, I did manage to look up some pictures of it on the inter-web. The developer took the look and feel of the entire hexagonal board and just put it on the device with water surrounding it. Given this, I feel that they did an excellent job. Also, they added nice cut scenes to go with the storyline of the original game. Controls Like I said before I have never actually played the board game so I was not Read More

Michael (Admin) | Dec 9, 2009 User rating: (No Ratings Yet)  Loading ... Dang… no reviews, no free codes… wondering where I’ve been the past couple of days? I’ve been parked on the couch playing Catan! Seriously, this game is addictive if you’re a strategic board game weirdo like me. Catan, aka Settlers of Catan, has been around for a long time in various forms. I first played the board game version about five years ago and I’d completely forgotten how to play it, but USM’s iPhone Catan did a nice job of refreshing my memory. If you’re new to the game it might look overwhelming, but if you go through the in-game tutorials you shouldn’t have any trouble picking it up. The basic gist is that you need to be the first one to collect a predetermined number of 8-12 Victory Points, and those points are earned by doing stuff Read More

Just in case you missed it, I got my wish from a while back: there is an official version of the classic board game Settlers of Catan, called just , on the App Store right now. I'm still playing , the unofficial knockoff that got kicked off of the store for infringement, but if you've got wood for sheep, this official version should get you your portable fix. If you're unfamiliar with the Catan juggernaut, check out this thorough piece from Wired.com. There's hot seat multiplayer gameplay (I assume you just can't cheat by looking at what resources other people have), or a few AIs to tangle with if you don't have friends at hand, and the game includes a scrollable board to play on, game stats to track, and a tutorial for those of you who haven't rolled the dice and tried to build the Longest Road yet. The game Read More

I have never claimed to be a strategic board game aficionado, although I have played my fair share of Carcassonne, so I guess it comes as no surprise that I somehow missed the release of an official The Settles of Catan remake for the iPhone and iPod touch.  Now that I am aware, it’s time for you to be aware that Catan – The First Island is now available in the App Store. Catan for the iPhone and iPod touch is a faithful reproduction of the classic board game The Settlers of Catan, which was first published in Germany way back in 1995 and has sold over 15 million copies since.  Catan for the iPhone and iPod touch was actually developed in collaboration with the The Settlers of Catan‘s original designer Klaus Teuber, so hopefully it will feel right at home. The game consists of 19 randomly placed hexagonal tiles where Read More

Catan – The First Island has found its way into the iTunes App Store, letting you trade clay, build roads, train soldiers, and do everything that made the Settlers of Catan board game a classic. Multiplayer is available, but involves handing off the phone rather than via Bluetooth. Still, even if you want to hone your settling skills solo, characterful AI players are available to keep you on your toes. Additional expansion content is in the works, alongside more game options and scenarios. Go ahead and grab it in the iTunes App Store for $4.99, or if you’re hankering for something free, check out their online game. A more toned-down version for feature phones is also available.

One of my favorite games of all time, Catan, is now available as a $5 download for the iPhone and iPod touch. As board games go, The Settlers of Catan is a psycho-erotic thriller capable of hooking even the most un-hookable of gamers. Maybe “psycho-erotic thriller” isn’t the most accurate phrase. It’s a fun game, let’s leave it at that. Those of you who have never played Catan before may very easily pass this one by but those of you who are into the game and own an iPhone or iPod touch will have little reason not to purchase it for $5. It’s not without its drawbacks – there’s no Wi-Fi or internet-based multiplayer and the game board is downright tiny on the iPhone’s screen – but for five bucks, it provides a nice quick fix for Catan addicts in between real-life or Xbox Live rounds. Here’s a quick hands-on showcasing Read More

Catan brings the complete Settlers of Catan boardgame experience to the iPhone. Then you owe it to yourself to buy a copy, as I did, and find two or three friends for one of the best board game experiences you'll ever have. No friends? No problem: Settlers of Catan just landed on the iPhone and iPod Touch. And you don't need 2-3 available humans, 3-4 available hours, and a flat surface to play it. For the uninitiated, Catan unfolds on an island. It's your job to score 10 victory points by capturing the most settlements, building the longest roads, and so on. Once you learn the rules--and there's definitely a learning curve--it's strategy gaming at its finest: fast-moving turns, balanced gameplay, and enough randomness that even a player who falls behind can quickly get back in it. Thankfully, Catan for iPhone offers excellent built-in tutorials so beginners can learn the ropes. Read More

Following apparent removal from the App Store, Catan [App Store] fans were left without an outlet for their need to build roads and settlements along with gathering various resources on the go-- That is, until USM and Exozet Games' recently released official Catan hit the App Store. Catan for the iPhone is a faithful reproduction of the board game, which was first published in Germany in 1995 and has sold over 15 million copies worldwide since. The game is played with up to four players (or more with expansions not present in the iPhone game) on a board game with 19 hex tiles that randomly go together to create a different layout for each game played. Players then build settlements, cities, and roads as they gather resources and settle the island. To win the game, you need to have a certain number of victory points on your turn which are earned Read More

If you are or ever have been the board gaming type, you may have run across Settlers of Catan, or at least heard of it from a fanatic friend. The game, which is a bit like Risk but without the war (at least in its basic incarnation), is all about resource gathering, trading, and colonization. Fans of the series (and there are many) will be pleased to know that Settlers is now playable on your iPhone thanks to Catan ($4.99, iTunes link), an app that faithfully recreates the experience on your mobile device. If you aren’t yet a fan, Catan for your iPhone or iPod touch might just be the thing that converts you. If you’ve played Settlers the board game, or if you’ve played it on your PC or Xbox 360, then you’ll already be familiar with the gameplay in the iPhone version, since it uses the standard rule set.

Von der iPhone 3G-Blaupause photoshopped Mac-Entwickler Patrick Stein die entsprechenden iPhone- und Desktop-Hintergründe in Schwarzweiß. Mit einer zugstarken Lucas-Lizenz im Rücken, plant THQ den Sonntagsausflug im X-Wing. ‘Star Wars: Trench Run’ soll sich komplett per Accelerometer steuern lassen und im galaktischen 3D-Ambiente für $5 authentische Musik- und Sound-Effekte des Sternenkrieges nach Hause liefern. Der USM-Verlag aus München setzt mit viel Liebe zum Details das Brettspiel ‘Die Siedler von Catan’ (3.99 €; App Store-Link) als iPhone-Version um. Die ersten Prädikate der Kundenrezensionen lesen sich vielversprechend, auch wenn Siedlungen und Handelsstraße nur im Single-Player aufgezogen werden können. Mit der zunehmenden Anzahl von ‘nach-Hause-telefonierenden’-Anwendungen, ist das Bedürfnis den Apps auf ihre ‘Netzwerkaktivitäten’ zu schauen, gewachsen. Ein Jailbreak-Projekt widmet sich der Implementation einer Firewall, die im besten Little Snitch-Stil alle ausgehenden Verbindungen überprüft. Die Konzeptphase scheint bereits überstanden. Ab wann jedoch alle AdMob- und AdWhirl-Werbe-Pings gestoppt werden können, bleibt derzeit noch offen. Clemens Schulz veröffentlicht Read More
