Dice games to go with all the iPhone dice apps

The App Store, so far, has seen a number of duplicate apps. One group of dupes we’re seeing: dice rollers. Makes sense if you twist an old saw to say “if your input involves shaking, everything starts to look like an accelerometer.” Or something.

My personal favorite for randomness is MotionX Dice.

Do your kids play with your iPhone?

Once my kids were beyond putting random technology into their mouths, I have let them play with gadgets. But what about my iPhone?

MotionX-Dice Review

Dice apps are another one of those apps on the iStore that are a dime a dozen. Let’s face it – there’s only so much variation you can add to a dice app. Most are simple random number generators, some provide different types of dice for the pen-and-paper RPG games (d4s to d20s). So far my favorite of the dice apps is MotionX Dice.

iProng Magazine: 5 Stars for MotionX-Poker

Review by Donny Yankellow of MyMac.com

With so many poker games available in the iTunes App Store how do you know which one to buy? You read reviews like this one.

MotionX Poker is one of those poker games in the App Store. However, MotionX Poker is not your typical poker game. Think poker meets Yahtzee. You see, instead of using a deck of cards, you play with dice. You get three rolls of the dice to get the best hand possible to beat the dealer. Playing with dice is the key to making MotionX Poker so much fun. Instead of tapping cards, or waiting for cards to be dealt, you shake your iPod Touch/iPhone like you would as if you had real dice in your hands. When you stop shaking, the dice roll. This works perfectly, and is REALLY cool! Once your dice are rolled you choose what you want to keep and roll again, and again. As you play you can unlock other tables and other sets of dice. You can also win gems as you beat certain challenges.
