Eric wrote a complete and excellent review on his blog, so I decided to simply add my own succinct endorsement, and host a giveaway for this cool time management game. I have to say when I first saw the game start up, I was a little skeptical. I wouldn't want to run a real sub shop, but playing at it is admittedly pretty fun. Read on for blog contest rules and my added impressions of the game.
Contest Rules:Winners are chosen at random. You must comment on this post (or related posts), and within the scope of the topic in a relevant manner (spamlike, one-word or off-topic posts will be deleted, of course). I reserve the right to determine what is considered relevant and will make final judgments concerning comments and winners. Inappropriate content will be removed.

Winners will be notified in a follow-up post with instructions on claiming their prizes.
Turbo Subs Mini-Review: Based on the award winning PC game, I-Play's Turbo Subs has a tongue-n-cheek premise and back-story that finds you (on vacation) trying to run a sub shop in an old converted subway car (you can cut the irony with a knife) in NY City. The cartoonish graphics are campy, and the game is pretty neat, if a bit monotonous at first. At any rate, it became addictive and fun after I advanced past the initial learning levels.

Like the graphics!
OK, I have to admit I 've never quite got these time management games but this one looks appealling to me. I think the old subway car interior reminds me of the old diners in the 50's and looks neat. I suppose I ought to give one of these a go and see if it can hold my interest.

I've played this game on my pc and it is great. I love playing time management games. I downloaded game as many times as they would allow me to play it. I played so many times, I upgraded with every upgrade on the list. I upgrade the chef with every upgrade, I upgrade my kitchen with all the upgrades. My sub shop has it all. This is a really fun game. I really hope I'm one of the four picked for this free game.
Review
I've never played the computer game but my wife loves the game. I will show her up if I get the itunes code and download it to my new iphone. I've had the phone less than a week and really want to show it off to her by showing her favorite game on the screen.
T Subs grows on you
Thanks for the inputs from everyone, and good luck in the contest. I'll post back this weekend on the winners, and instructions on claiming prizes. Anyway, T-Subs seems a little boring/simple at first, but grows on you as you progress. The time management games can eat up a lot of time (haha), making me have to worry about managing my own time playing them. Usually I just want to spend a few minutes blasting or racing something to blow off a little steam. I can get my fill of that in 15 or 20 minutes, but these games can put a big hole in your evening.
