Incredible iPhone App: Under Pressure Football
Okay, full disclosure, I haven't tried this app and wouldn't have noticed it, except that it's the product of friend of the blog, Michael Venini. However, based on the nature of the app and a mysterious statement of challenge, I feel it is fair to elevate Under Pressure Football (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=290528718) to "incredible" status.
First, it's actually a math teaching game that uses a football metaphor to engage the player. Despite a previous disagreement with computerized math instruction (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2007/05/microsoft-math-30-to-make-me-obsolete.html), I am a proponent of reinforcing math skills, so that scores a touchdown with me.
Second, Michael claims the "World Championship" level is nearly impossible to beat. But why? Is the math more advanced? Are there simply too many digits involved? I don't know, but that sounds like a challenge I might have to accept.
At the very least this reminds me that my math skills need sharpening. If and when I decide to hone them, Under Pressure Football will be my first stop.
