I have been playing this game for almost a month now (can’t say the same for some of the more expensive games I have bought (I am talking to you Super Monkey Ball) and I still go back to Blocked atleast once a day.

Blocked is a puzzle game where the objective is to slide a blue colored block out of the playing area. There are obstacles in the form of other gray colored blocks which you have to move around to get the blue block out. You simply use your fingers to slide the blocks around.

There are 100 levels categorised into Easy, Medium, Hard, Harder and Hardest. I have finished about 80 levels in a month’s time and might take another couple of weeks to finish the game. There is good replay value because you can always pick up an older level and start playing again. If you leave a game in between, it starts of from the point where you left so you can take your time finishing a level.

I have to mention that I was stuck on level 64 for a very long time (almost a week) and also asked a few friends if they could solve it but it turned out to be a really tough level. I finally gave up and googled for a solution but nothing came up. Finally I looked up the creator’s site and in the FAQ section I found this -

• Is it possible to beat every level?

Sure is! I did it again just last week!

• Even level 64?

If you must – The trick is to get the two vertical blocks above the blue block, as seen in this pic. If you can get to the layout below, you’re only a few moves away!

Drop us a line if you like more reviews/suggestions for iPhone/iPod touch applications. We would love to know the apps/games you have been using on your device!

In a press release Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs is happy to announce these figures and adds “iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” and “…the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world.”

That brings the total number of iPhones sold since the launch of the first generation phone to more than 7 million.

Interestingly, Apple also managed to sell 10 millions apps from the iPhone/iPod Appstore in these 3 days. The press release states that “More than 800 native applications are now available on the App Store, with more than 200 offered for free”

Interestingly 8 out of the top 10 paid apps are games. Also worth mentioning is the fact that none of the Electronic Arts (EA) games (including Tetris and Scrabble) show up in the India App Store, and possibly other international App Stores. I can understand that a game like MLB at Bat (publisher: mlb.com) will have a limited appeal outside the US, but Tetris and Scrabble? Come on!

So, have you taken the App Store in India for a spin yet? Let us know how it went for you!
