Russian Roulette: The Review

Many of you know the game called "Roulette." It is a game commonly stationed at casinos in which you bet money on a certain number or color. The Roulette wheel spins and if your number or color is chosen, you win. If not, you lose. The game called "Russian Roulette" is very similar except with bullets and betting with your life. This is what is called a "Real Men's Game" and should be soon followed by the phrase "No Pussies Allowed." For this game, you load one bullet into a revolver which holds 6 bullets. There are 6 people. 5 people live, one person dies. In such bad economic times, it is difficult to say which of the two games is more dangerous for one's well-being.

Last night with a group of friends, we decided to play Russian Roulette. Perhaps not the smartest ideas among teenagers, but the thought occurred to us and we really wanted to play. Luckily, we played with an iPhone, so no one actually died, except for Michael who thought he died and passed out on the couch. Nonetheless, the game was intense. I believe it is fair to say that Nate officially died the fewest times, making him the winner? When you're playing with an iPhone and no actual death, it kind of makes the game pointless, but I would rather have a night of bizarre fun than a dead friend and being a witness to suicide.

In conclusion, I rate the iRevolver application with a solid 5/5. It is a fantastic simulation that makes you feel almost as cool as a guy about to blow his brains out. The only suggestions I have for the creators are that you need to choose which was the gun is facing. Personally, I'd be much more comfortable if I shot myself right-handed. Shooting left-handed just feels awkward and makes me feel fake and pathetic. I think another good addition would be for people who think they are going to die to have "Last Words" and it can either gain them style points if they go out with a badass catchphrase or lose style points if they say something like a tool and live. Overall, iRevolver for iPhone and iPod Touch is entertaining, celebant, and just what YOU need for some hardcore fun.
