Jetset: A Game For Airports is probably not exactly that. Possibly the last thing you want to do after checking through security and taking your shoes off is load up your iPhone game about doing what you just did.

The name of the game is airport security as the line continues to grow and the list of things that people can’t bring on the plane is ever-changing. As the game goes on, the line gets longer and the people come faster. You’ll have to make them check clothing and confiscate belongings from their suitcases.

Large fingers are Jetset’s enemy as you’ll be fumbling to take the person’s prohibited shoes off and instead strip them of their pants.

Jetset also promises unlockables if you play the game in an airport. This gimmick alone almost makes it worth keeping on your iPhone somewhere just to flick it on in Denver International, Dulles or wherever you may be. But not for $5.

The steep price makes this game hard to recommend. There’s simply not enough there to justify a $5 purchase. I played the game a few times and got tired of it because nothing new happens. I’m not a fan of airport security and I don’t want to do it on my phone either.

Aqua Jigsaw is one of those apps that’s a fun idea in theory but on the iPhone it’s hard to execute. 99 Games brings iPhone addicts the ability to solve over 75 small, simple jigsaw puzzles with, as the name suggests, an oceanic theme.

Aqua Jigsaw also allows the user to use one of their own images to create a puzzle with as well as the ability to take a brand new picture and load it up in puzzle form. And while Aqua Jigsaw does this just fine, with no real bugs, is a 12 piece puzzle really something you want to do on your iPhone?

As you’d imagine, it doesn’t take long to put together one of the puzzles and Aqua Jigsaw even times you but with 10 of the 12 pieces being edge pieces; the only challenge is finding that last piece or two with an entire puzzle overlapping it.

I’d imagine this game was developed for small children, kids who enjoy puzzles, to keep them occupied while waiting at the doctor’s office or on a car ride and if that is what you would be using it for, I can somewhat recommend Aqua Jigsaw. But if you’re the iPhone user looking for a way to pass the time, this is not the app for you.

At $1.99, if you’re buying Aqua Jigsaw for your children, go ahead. Otherwise drop your two dollars on something a little bit more challenging.

If you’re looking for an app that doesn’t do what it tells you it does, download iWant. iWant claims that with the help of Yelp.com, it will find retautants, cafés, lodging, banks, gas, and other amenities. It doesn’t. iWant shows a few restaurants around you with some additional listings that are out of business. I’m not looking for a Brazilian steak house that went out of business in 2006, I want the one that just opened (which isn’t to be found in iWant).

The interface is simple (read: boring) with a white background and black and white icons. My iPhone does color right? Put some damn color in the application!

This app is a joke, really. There are so many other applications that do what this claims and do it so much better. Don’t download iWant, ever. ~~Zack Shapiro
