Tennis in the Face is the 9/2 app.

Get ready for some hilarious ragdoll-smashing, ball-bouncing action! Help Pete Pagassi save the city from an evil energy drink corporation. Knock out creepy clowns, evil riot police and others with a tennis ball in the face. Bounce the ball off walls to reach targets lurking in cover and watch them tumble!

If you think it is hilarious to hit some schmuck in the face with a tennis ball and spill his beer (er, energy drink), Go for it. Hit a cop and not get arrested. All it's missing is Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

Well, that's a step up from where it's normally considered funny to hit someone. Still sounds pretty lame though.

Some kids thought it was funny to set on fire another kid and some other kid thought it was funny to hit and kill one of those unfortunate guy who live on the street....I'm sure that somebody will like this game!

Younger kids seem to love it. Any idea why they require access to the device's camera?

Maybe to save a copy of your "creation"?

Flick Golf is the 9/5 app.

Unique, beautiful and so challenging it's hard to put down. No clubs. No rules. Just flick, spin and curve your shots to try and sink that perfect hole in one. Watch out for the usual hazards: bunkers, trees, sand... and of course the wind! Trademark spin control added for more of a challenge.

 

[jbenham]

No rules, just flick. That pretty well sums it up. Probably only golfers play it as there are no 1 or 2 star ratings. Can't go wrong with that.
