zGhost lets iPhone users see ghosts all around them
A company called zGames launched an iPhone game/app called zGhost, allowing users to see ghosts all around them. The application uses augmented reality technology to overlay the camera view with some scary ghosts.
For easier ghost hunting, there’s the radar that helps you find them. In total, there are over 16 different ghosts, as well as the option to “Ghost Yourself” by using a photo from your Gallery. Moreover, the sound is apparently awesome (3D), especially if you’re using earphones.
Finally, there’s the option to share spookiest scenes with your friends on Facebook.
All in all, zGhost is an interesting app and one more way to demonstrate the use of augmented reality. The question is whether it’s worth a buck (99 cents, to be more precise), considering there are so many other (honestly more entertaining) apps in Apple’s AppStore. You’ll definitely get entertained, but not for a long — or at least, me thinks so… AppStore link is below.

Turn Your Twitter Feed into Super Mario
Fed up with your Twitter feed just, well, feeding you your Twitter-friends’ updates? Then you can download this $1.99 iPhone app that will turn it into a side scrolling platform game allowing you to read and tweet, retweet, and reply while running about as a white rabbit.
It also turns the tweets into little platforms you can jump on, tilting your phone left and right to move, but, sadly, no sign of enemy spam-bots to stomp on or end of level bad guys in the form of malicious viral worms. But at least the gamification of mircoblogging has begun.

A Game Console by Apple
Why have APPLE not made a game console, I do not mean the oversized iPod Touch iPad or iPhone. I mean an actual Gaming Console with discs and what not?
Apple have a great reputation. Even the company boss has a great name ‘STEVE’ thats a very powerful name, my name is STEVE aswell did you know that?. They manufacture the most popular series of music and video players in history and its line of Mac computers is constantly growing, and it will soon be able to go head to head with PC.
So, why hasn’t it entered video games? Sony entered the video game market during the nineties, and many thought the Playstation would fail, especially some key employees of the company. Well many years have gone by and they have released three consoles so far, they are a primary video game console and game manufacturer.
Microsoft is the exact same. They developed the Xbox to mixed reaction, but with the release of the Xbox 360 it is one of the most successful consoles of all time. Nobody knew why a PC and computer company entered the video game market but it worked and it definitely payed off.
So Apple, wheres that console??
Here is some names you could call it…and feel free to add more aswell readers via the comments below!
iGame
iPlay
iBox
iPwn
The I
…thats it as I aint as imaginitive with names like the guys at Apple. They already have a store and its not like people hate Apple that much cus they are always getting new apps on to it.
I asked the host of a cool podcast – Scott Johnson what it was about Apple he liked and he replied “For simplicity, Design & Forward Thinking” and I agree. Even though the only Apple products I have are iPod Touch and an iPhone but I would get the console if the made it for sure!!
Thats it!! so as mentioned above share the names of what you think they should call their console if they enter the market and if you’re clever at graphics why not show us what it could look like?
Scott Johnsons Podcast is available from HERE for free! and if you love music you’ll adore his podcast!
