Turn-based strategy games are getting popular every now and then considering their addictive nature and thought provoking qualities. But every now and then, there comes along a more fantastic game and that is developed by Hexage.net.

In Everland, the story revolves around the plot of evil spirits taking control of animals, and the brave plethora of creatures that must come together to stop the evil and cleanse their possessed brethren. While the story may seem a little bit juvenile and out of the scene considering the fact that you’ll be using macho heroes, vehicular combat and futuristic weaponry. It blends nicely into the game and serves as much creative.

In Everland you and your opponent take turns in placing animals on a hexagonal board. Each animal has a certain amount of life and attack points but can only attack out on certain sides of the field. It is much the same as those found in popular turn based strategy games.

Each species have varying amounts of life and attack points as well as a unique special ability. For example an intimidating tiger is able to reduce attack points of its enemy animals. In order to complete a stage you must have 50% board possession with your creatures.

Everlands is a great game paying tribute to strategy games and casual game principles making it a blast to play. Everlands is a must own game if you’re a lover for strategy games or just have the desire to have a great game.

“Were sorry to disappoint customers waiting for the white iPhone yet again, but we’ve decided to delay its release until this spring.”, quoted from Apple.

The company has had difficult time making the white model of the iPhone 4. It released the black version of the smartphone in June.

The news broke just this morning that Apple had released an updated version of the iPhone. Introduced alongside the black iPhone 4 at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in early June, the white model was soon to be pushed back to a late July launch. But when the date approached to its futility, Apple again decided to delayed the release date to later this year seemingly giving the company plenty of time to work on issues with production of the white model.  Apparently the company still is struggling on with the white model considering it is a tough challenge to meet customer demands and satisfaction.

The delays however are still not confirmed by Apple saying that the device proved to be “more challenging to manufacture than expected.” Other rumors that have surface out have point to issues with color matching between the device’s body and home button or the light from the backlight leaking around.

Encinitas, CA(PRWeb)- Oceanhouse Media, Inc. announced the release of two new Halloween themed eBooks for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The classic Dr. Seuss short-story What was I Scared of? is now available on the App Store for only $1.99. And one of the all-time best selling children’s Halloween books, The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin by Joe Troiano, is now available as an eBook for only $2.99. Both universal apps can be used on the iPad and iPhone for no additional charge. These apps also include special high-resolution graphics for the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G Retina displays.

What was I Scared of? was authored in 1961 by Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as the beloved Dr. Seuss. Delivering a timeless message about fear and acceptance, the tale begins with a character who repeatedly meets up with an empty pair of pale-green pants. He is initially afraid of the pants, which are able to stand on their own despite the lack of a wearer. However, when he screams for help and the pants also start to cry, he realizes that “They were just as scared as I!” Eventually, the empty pants and the main character choose to no longer be in fear of one another and become good friends.

In The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin, where “the only good pumpkins are round pumpkins,” Spookley is shunned until a mighty storm threatens to destroy the entire patch. As the storm rages, Spookley realizes “it’s fine to be round while the weather is fair, but there are times it’s better to be a square.” Sometimes being different can save the day! Originally published in 2001, The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin has sold over a million copies to date, and has served as the basis for a Spookley the Square Pumpkin movie that has been shown every year since 2004 in movie theaters across the country and on national television networks, including both Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. “We are delighted with the new, interactive version of Spookley on the App Store,” said Joe Troiano, author of The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin. “And we are impressed with the convenient read-aloud and vocabulary-learning features that Oceanhouse Media’s technology provides.”

Both eBooks combine the beautiful artwork from the original print books with innovative features that promote reading in kids, including highlighted picture / word associations, professional narration and custom background audio.

“In anticipation of Halloween, we are excited to bring both of these perennial holiday favorites to life as eBooks for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch,” said Michel Kripalani, President of Oceanhouse Media. “These apps provide both entertainment and educational value to children in the form of fun, interactive experiences for play and learning.”
