MythBusters for iPhone

15.04.2010

Choose from three: Matchstick has you shoot a bowling ball out of a cannon to knock down pins strewn around a maze; Seesaw Saga has you dropping a parachutist onto a seesaw, launching the guy on the other end into the air and hopefully onto a target placed atop a skyscraper; and Soda Bomb asks you to add mints to a bottle of cola, then shake it up and launch the spray into the air, hitting your target and knocking it out of the sky.

The best part: all of these games are based on actual experiments conducted by the crew, and each game is introduced with a clip from that episode. The games use multiple iPhone controls--everything from swiping to shaking to tilting. And even better, the games each include several unlockable levels with hours of replayability. Like I said before, these games could easily be their own apps.

There is a catch to all of this awesomeness, of course--a $3 price tag that may dissuade all but the most devoted fans from downloading the app. That would be a shame, though, because this is a truly great app, whether you're obsessed with the show or not.
