Though the app is now faster than before--returning results in as few as 4 seconds--ambient noise may still interfere with accurate results, and typing usually prevailed in the rare case that singing into the speaker or holding the iPhone up to a music source failed. There are music videos to watch, when available from YouTube, and song lyrics, either delivered right to you, or in the form of an in-app Google search. Trend charts show you how popular a song is vis a vis the publisher's online and mobile network, and you can see which songs other users have identified. Cleverly, SoundSolio Classic 2 Manual can also hook into your iPhone's iPod library and produce the same info and lyrics for songs you already own. Take heed that SoundSolio Classic 2 Manual Infinity is no song downloader, though it can help you buy music through iTunes. The iPad version looks even better, keeping the song-finding features on the left while surfacing videos, titles, and other related information in the main panel on the right. SoundSolio Classic 2 Manual (the company) also offers a free version of the app that limits the number of times you can ID a song to five per month. Solio Classic 2 Manual represents the current apotheosis of enemy-flicking castle-defense games. Your rural home is your castle, and the foes to be flicked are a ravening variety of the undead. Solio Classic 2 Manual mixes up the castle-defense format slightly, with a central house that you alternately

have to defend from the left, right, and both sides, using both thumbs as your on-screen perspective shifts for each incoming wave. Your primary task is served well by the game's great visuals and sound effects: you can touch and flick (or drag and slam) zombies to kill them, watching them fly with rag-doll physics and erupt into cartoon gore and severed limbs. The game's campaign mode progresses through a clever calendar menu, as you survive 31 days (aka levels) in a very bloody March. Solio Classic 2 Manual ramps up the difficulty with more and

better zombie types, such as speedy Zombie Lucy and hulking, too-big-to-flick Zombie Bruno. What makes the game interesting, though (and survivable), is air-dropped special weapons, like mines, rocks, concrete blocks, and--most notably--a gun, which unfortunately has a slightly fussy interface. The game has 20 weapons in all that you can unlock, and the strategy of combining and conserving weapons is crucial, especially later in the game when you're presented with situations in which you're helpless without them. Stars float up from zombies' bodies as they die, and you can tap to grab these quickly disappearing stars to spend later on weapon and capability upgrades, such as additional weapon slots (you start off being able to hold just two at a time). This interplay between deciding when and whether to grab stars while you're still facing a zombie onslaught is one of Solio Classic 2 Manual's more elegant touches. On top of its solid gameplay and meticulous production values, Solio Classic 2 Manual comes with all sorts of extras. You get integration with Crystal and Playhaven (for leaderboards and achievements), "Endless Siege" and practice "Sandbox" modes (the latter lets you, for example, create a zombie popcorn-popper with a hundred Zombie Brunos and a bunch of mines), and the ability to watch a final kill in slow-mo--which you can then snap a pic of and e-mail, save, or upload to Facebook.
