I’m sure that everyone has played
the popular game known as apples to apples. For a quick summary of the game,
you and 3 friends each get an assortment of cards with a random word or person
on them, ranging from anything from George Washington to your boss. The judge
then picks from a special pile of cards that have a defining word on them such
as annoying or really funny. The players then choose a card from their hand and
put it down. The winner is whoever put down the card that the judge picks as
the funniest or cleverest.
Now evil apples are like apples to
apples dirty cousin who lives in a bad part of town and is constantly in and
out of jail. Evil apples are only available on the app store, and are not
available in stores like apples to apples. Unlike the family friendly version
before, evil apples changes it style to appeal to a more adult/teenager crowd.
The premise of the games are similar, with evil apples throwing out the one
defining word cards, and changing to a sentence format, such as “The mad scientist
knew his creation was a monster, but foolishly hoped________would one day be
accepted and loved by man”. There the players would pick from their cards what
they think would be the best and submit them. Like before, the judge would pick
his or her favorite card, points would be rewarded, and then the next round
gets underway.
Now as I said before, evil apples
is different in that it’s aimed at a more mature crowd, with it including more
mature words such as “All the prostitutes in Detriot” or “Ronald McDonalds
nipple”. Now I can’t speak for any of
you who are over the age of 30, but my friends and I find this highly
enjoyable. Yes it’s immature and petty,
but it can lead to some seriously funny moments between you and your friends.
And it’s not just limited to people you know. When you host a game, anybody can
join it and play with you, so you don’t have to wait long for your games to
fill up.
Although this app has good upsides,
it has its downsides. You need to be connected to wifi while playing this game;
otherwise it will drain your battery like no tomorrow. I have had the wifi drop
and switch to 3g before, and my phone would lose 10% of its battery in 15
minutes of me playing the game. Another downside with this game is its
difficulty locating your friends to play with. The game uses twitter and
Facebook to send out messages to people you want to play with. This method
isn’t as useful as you would think, with people receiving the messages way to
late or not even getting one at all.
Evil
apples quite a fun game to play with your friends, with its entertaining game
play for you and your friends to all get involved with.
