3 up, 3 down: iPhone apps

One of my favorite parts of ESPN the Magazine is when they talk about teams, players, or events that are on the rise and have been going downhill. I wanna take this cool idea and do it with iPhone apps. Mainly so I can tell everyone about some cool stuff, but also so I can do this idea.

3 Up
1. 94 Seconds
This awesome game gives you a category and a letter, and you have to name something that corresponds. Get as many as you can in 94 seconds. It's simple and very fun. Go download it and play it all the time.

2. Bloons
Bringing back a classic from high school, you shoot darts at balloons and pop them. Again, simple enough, and endlessly fun.

3. March Madness Live
Maybe this is a cop out, since this wouldn't make the list any other time of year, but the fact that it's March means that March Madness apps are the greatest thing ever. Especially when they stream every game live. Absolutely wonderful.

3 Down
1. Temple Run 2
Temple Run 2 came up quickly, and was great because of the achievements, but after a while, the achievements became too much. I mean things that you need to play forever to obtain. And the game isn't as great to play for its own sake, so it's the first on the bad side of this post.

2. Ruzzle
It's too bad this game is on this list, because it did start out as a huge success, especially in our suite. This is more of a general trend as opposed to my own opinion, but it's here nonetheless.

3. Snapchat
I'm just not a fan of Snapchat. Never really have been. It's cool once in a while, but it just doesn't do it for me. Less of a concrete explanation, but that doesn't invalidate it.
