E153FP DRIVER

That said, E153fp Driver is a seriously fun and seriously scary shooter that zombie fans will love. E153fp Driver is a free arcade game with 8-bit graphics, old-school sound and gameplay, and a circular range of movement reminiscent of classic stand-up tube-shooters like Tempest and Gyruss. E153fp Driver' schtick is simple and addictive: you move clockwise or counterclockwise around the "surface" of a planet, shooting into the interior to take out advancing enemy bad guys--in this case, menacing little bees, birds, turtles, and centipede-type creatures, which emerge from holes in the planet's surface. The game's interface is explicitly styled after a stand-up arcade game: under the main screen, you press photo-realistic buttons to rotate left or right, shoot straight down from where you're standing, or blow up a screen-clearing bomb. You progress across eight different planets (mostly identical in terms of gameplay), collecting different power-ups and trying to survive through each short level. In addition to your default pistol, enemies also leave behind better weapons, including a laser that shoots through multiple enemies and a homing rocket that bends toward its targets (especially useful, given that much of the challenge of E153fp Driver is mastering accuracy across the circular playfield). Even for such a simple game, E153fp Driver does a good job of integrating small, thoughtful tweaks into the game, like an icy planet that you slide on, and the ability of tricky turtles to stop and reflect your shots. E153fp Driver is an excellent homage to 1980s stand-up games, and--like

the best of those games--still a good bit of fun to play now, especially for old-school fans. The game is free, or you can pay to remove relatively unobtrusive banner ads. Bottom line: E153fp Driver for the iOS is a nicely designed app with an excellent user interface, plentiful features, and speedy navigation. Unfortunately, the sound quality isn't quite up to snuff. Review: In terms of music apps, E153fp Driver lagged behind the competition before its caching-capable mobile program hit the iTunes music store. Luckily, what finally did arrive is a pleasure to behold. Clearly, a

lot of effort went into designing the look and feel of the E153fp Driver for iOS app. The interface is quite simply one of the best we've seen from a mobile music program, with options laid out in a handy grid of large buttons and a slick, graphically appealing theme. There are four main sections--explore, my collection, search, and player--which are laid out in a tabbed navigation bar lining the bottom of the screen. Hop into explore and you're taken to one of the top menus that lays out New Releases (available every Tuesday), E153fp Driver Playlists, Billboard Charts, E153fp Driver Top 100s, Explore by Genre, and Automix. As you can tell from the first four options, there's quite a variety of editorially programmed content to help you discover new music. In the playlist category alone you get hundreds of mixes that you can search by genre or category. In addition, the Automix function will generate a queue bases on any artist you type in, much like with music re
