A new feature here at the iPhone blog will be a Weekly Web App review piece entitled “Web App Wednesday.” Each week I will take a requested Web App, or a Web App I enjoy and give it a brief review with a a simple 3 upsides - 3 downsides conclusion. If you have a Web App you are interested in me reviewing, send me a quick message.

This weeks Web App Wednesday review:

Frenzic

FrenzicIf you have a mac, and you haven’t played Frenzic than you really don’t know much about the word addiction. Frenzic is a fast-playing, utlra-adictive, tile type game. In the game, you must complete trivial-pursuit pie shaped circles. It is a puzzle game that manages to be unique and fun. If you have a Mac, head over to the fine folks at Iconfactory to get a demo.

Frenzic is also availabe for demo play right on your iPhone. Point Safari to http://frenzic.com/demo. The application will take a few seconds to load depending on your connection speed, but once it does, it plays very quickly and smoothly.

The game is simple. A colored wedge will appear in the center of the screen, and you must touch one of the outlying circles to place that wedge there. You can only move a wedge to an open slot, and if you manage to complete a pie with all wedges of the same color, you will earn an extra-life and potentially a bonus.

This style of gameplay is fantastic on the iPhone. To be honest, I am much better at the iPhone version than I am at the desktop version.

One of the complaints about the iPhone has been the lack of games. The Frenzic web app is much more fun than any game I ever played on my Blackberry. There are a few diamonds out there, and Frenzic is certainly one of them.
