Spore for the iPhone from EA was one of the first games presented along with the SDK back in March and is finally available for the iPhone and iPod Touch via the AppStore - link. It is in my opinion one of the best games for the iPhone. You are the creator of your own microorganism that you help evolve into a animal devouring monster by eating anything smaller than you. You can customize your spore with different patterns, physical attributes, appendages and more. It is highly addictive and I have not put it down since I purchased it. Enjoy
Touch Arcade has unearthed this photo of a Belkin-branded game controller/case for the iPhone and iPod touch called the JoyPod. Looks pretty slick, though as Engadget points out, the ratios don’t really work out — odds are that the final product will have to be a little longer to fit the iPhone in there.
Very interesting, though — now I’m curious to see if Apple really will support stuff like this. Supporting a third-party controller would seem to go against His Jobsness’ suggestion that a multitouch screen could be used for anything
Cybersaurus by DarXun Games, is a cool new 3D game for the iPhone and ipod Touch. It reminds me of a simple version of MechWarrior or ChromeHounds. You control a mech robot and roam around the 3D word shooting anything that moves and collecting new weapons. The controls are simple to use and well laid out. Tap the direction pad to go forward, then simply steer and look around, there are a few different weapons to choose from and more that can be collected by roaming around the baron 3D wasteland.
Check out the screen shots and video demo below.
Cyber-Dinosaurs!
Our planet was their home for millions of years.Now they want it back! The ultimate mix between a 3D shooter and an adventure game. Explore 6 stunning planets (11 maps fully 3D) with outstanding backgrounds! Navigate through the solar systems using the interactive 3D map and destroy the robosaurs!
Year 2513. They come from the Dark Side.
We call’em Robosaurs. From the image of the ancient dinosaurs they forge their metallic bodies. They bring oblivion and destruction.Only few of us survived. Some of us think they evolved from dinosaurs. Our galaxy was their home for millions of years. Now they want it back.
In an effort to counteract the attack we built our last chance:
The Raptor9000.A human guided robosaur. Destroy the neural link and the Robosaur’s MainFrame in order to defeat our enemies and return home! Explore 6 stunning planets (11 maps fully 3D) with outstanding backgrounds! Navigate through the solar systems using the interactive 3D map and destroy the robosaurs.
Here are the game features:
- 11 full 3D levels , 6 different planets and environments.
- 3D Engine with astonishing light system . It also supports landscape mode for 320×480 devices (on supported devices),
- 3D Audio engine.
- Full 3D Animations.
- Different characters.Every enemy has a different AI.
There are some cheesy rock background music that suits this game perfectly. You have got some user options to control stuff like skill level, music on/off, volume, first person cam view, visibility (scene brightness), and a nice feature is that you can continue your game from where you left off by simply tapping “Start Game”.
You can find the free demo on installer, but to get the full game with all 11 levels you will need to purchase a license (register) for $9.99 USD from DarXun Games,
Lumen is a simple, fun game for OS X and Windows developed by FireyFerret that will soon be available via the AppStore (on firmware 2.0) for your iPhone. The objective of the game is to light up the checkpoints by reflecting and use filters to change the colors of a laser beam through a maze of obstacles. With careful attention to detail and the colorful graphics, Lumen will be a welcomed game to the iPhone.
I personally think that games are going to be a HUGE category in the AppStore, and we are already seeing developers churning out demos and betas for their upcoming games to be distributed on Apples iPhone.
Lumen also gives us a good idea of what these apps/games should cost. This game will cost you $5 US according to the developer, which isn’t that bad, but considering that allot of iPhone users are accustomed to getting everything for free, and this game is not from a big game developer like EA for example, we are still waiting to see how all of this goes down.
Check out the developers website as well as the demo video below for more information.
I downloaded this game onto my ipod Touch the other night and kinda forgot that I had. I stumbled upon it this morning and decided to post it up on the blog. Its a really cool, but clearly still in early development, like Alpha. The developers says that he created the 3D Game engine that Kingdom Lores runs, an impressive accomplishment. Read more…
Finally, a great racing game for the iPhone - Raging Thunder by Polarbit.com, even though i wish it was in landscape mode, this is a fantastic very addictive game, Very similar to Need for Speed (and gives us a good idea of whats to come. If this old 2006 game plays so nicely, imagine what a gaming power house like EA will do with the SDK).
You use the accelerometer for turning and accelerating and game play is a bit dodgy, but very addictive and fun. Unfortunately there is no sound (at least for me). But the graphics are amazing, I was kinda shocked at how good they looked (for an old game even) and how fluid the graphics streamed, again imagine how good Need For Speed from EA will look on the iPhone.
