hi I'm St Smith with cult.com so the
0:06
2014 World Cup is in full swing so with
0:09
that I thought I'd show you some of the
0:11
best apps to keep you in the football
0:12
spirit whether your team are still in or
0:15
not let's get
0:16
[Music]
0:22
started so first up we have flick socer
0:25
Brazil from developers full fat an
0:28
updated version of one of their classic
0:30
games that has already been out for some
0:32
time so it's clearly a topical refresh
0:34
but nevertheless a great game to pass
0:36
the time between matches flick soccer
0:38
Brazil offers five game matches that
0:40
include quick shot specialist challenge
0:43
crossbar and smash it even though these
0:45
game types are very similar switching
0:47
between them does keep the game fresher
0:49
for longer you can swipe left or right
0:51
to change your angle and then flick the
0:53
ball towards the goal once in the air
0:54
you can swipe left or right frantically
0:56
to try and aim the ball more towards
0:58
their
0:58
target as with any good game the further
1:01
you progress the more difficult the game
1:03
gets so it always tries to keep you
1:06
entertained the most fun I've found with
1:08
the game is this Smash It section it
1:11
displays the team's flags on these glass
1:13
panels and encourages you to smash them
1:18
through next up is Subway Surface C
1:22
poo so this is a refresh of the original
1:24
Subway Surface just with a little hint
1:26
of
1:28
Brazil as you can see it's pretty pretty
1:30
much identical along with the addition
1:31
of collecting footballs on this epic
1:33
endless Runner now this is a game that
1:36
really got me addicted when it first
1:37
came out and once I saw it back in the
1:39
App Store I had to download it again and
1:41
give it another go I've still not been
1:43
able to beat my high score though the
1:46
game manages to keep itself fresh with
1:48
the upgrades available using the coins
1:50
that you collect within the game things
1:51
like a hoverboard or Mystery Box make
1:53
sure to keep you going and trying to get
1:55
even further within the game this isn't
1:58
strictly football related but it is is a
2:00
good way to pass some time and stay in
2:02
that Brazilian
2:04
Spirit and the best app to keep up to
2:06
date with all the latest World Cup
2:08
scores news and more I hear you ask easy
2:12
it has to be the official FIFA app not
2:14
only does it provide you with all of the
2:16
latest stories and results in this nice
2:18
clean user interface but it will also
2:20
let you know when the next matches take
2:22
place and all of the scores you may have
2:26
missed and if that wasn't already enough
2:29
you can choose any team from the World
2:31
Cup and find out everything you would
2:32
ever need to know from one handy little
2:36
place time for a little bit of light
2:39
refreshment Opie cup is a new simple
2:41
game from appy nation and the aim of the
2:44
game is to keep the ball bouncing on his
2:46
head for as long as possible you play by
2:48
tilting your iOS device left and right
2:51
to try and stay underneath the ball with
2:53
high scores and loocking new backgrounds
2:55
other than sharing your scores to
2:56
Facebook that's about it
3:00
a really well done simple game that will
3:02
keep bugging you until you've reached
3:04
your new high
3:05
score and last but definitely not least
3:08
is FIFA 14 by EA Sports a pretty huge
3:12
game clocking in at 1.2 gig due to its
3:15
great graphics tons of teams and more
3:17
than 16,000 playable footballers this is
3:20
definitely the closest you're going to
3:21
get to a consol experience playing
3:23
football on your iOS device boasting
3:26
plenty of different game styles to keep
3:28
you entertained for hours you can choose
3:30
what teams you want to play what players
3:32
you want on the pitch and where what
3:34
football kit they're going to wear what
3:35
stadium they're going to play in and
3:37
even what football they're going to
3:40
use the graphics really impress me on
3:42
this game and even though I'm not a
3:44
football fan myself I found myself
3:46
playing this for at least a good hour
3:48
and a half before I realized what I was
3:50
doing you've also got the option to
3:52
upload your favorite goals to Facebook
3:54
and YouTube to show off to your friends
3:56
and compare skills the latest update
3:59
also now includes touch controls so you
4:01
don't have to use any annoying touch
4:03
joysticks on the corners of the
4:05
screen making the most out of that real
4:08
estate I was really surprised by how
4:10
much control I had within this
4:14
game this is definitely one that you
