Top 5 iPhone Racers!

Dec 24

I hope you all enjoyed the Top 5 iPhone Shooters, and if you are into iPhone racing games, here is the Top 5 iPhone racers. This list is in NO SPECIFIC ORDER, it is just a collection of the top racing games and giving the priority over one another was too difficult as they were each awesome in there own way. The recently released NFS Shift has not been reviewed yet, thus its absence in this list, but it certainly will be on the next Top 5 Racers list, if it sees the light of  day. Enjoy!

Real Racing

RR1 RR2

graphics 4
controls 5
Fun 4

This is the most realistic racer on the iPhone, period. With more than 10 tracks, amazing graphics, various (about 5) methods of controls including accelerometer based, wheel, and touch, this game goes beyond limits. The special feature of this racer compared to others is the cockpit view with astonishing details for each car. Although they are not real (licensed) cars, except the newly added Volkswagon GTI, they are very unique and different in terms of looks and driving. You also get multiplayer so you can race friends…and foes. Do remember, this was released before the iPhone 3GS came out, what with the sexy graphics more RAM and CPU and all. So if Real Racing 2 ever comes out, you can expect it to top another racing games list.

The App Store is a place of 35000+ apps and games, this means its a big place for some nice games to get lost in. To make some people’s lives easier in selecting games, I have chosen the top 5 shooting games in the App Store that you may like. Here they are:

5. Shooter (iTunes Link)

Price: $0.99 Size: 80.4 MB Released: February 18th, 2009

If your a sniper If you love games involving sniping, then this is for you! Based on the movie Shooter by Paramount Digital Entertainment from 2 years ago, this game centers at using sniper rifles and killing enemies from long range. This is a “the game of the movie” game and follows the movie very similarly. It consists of 6 missions and 5 submissions and for each mission, you choose a rifle before each mission and are camouflaged and then the action begins. This game is based on the the accelerometer of the iPhone/iPod Touch, which means patience and accuracy is crutial and takes some work to perfect (just like a real sniper). It gets harder, enemy soldiers will begin to move around later on.

PS3 Slim?

May 17
2009

It is evident that Sony loves to revise all there consoles to attract more consumers once sales start to fall. It started with the PlayStation 1 shrinking almost 50% in size and then the PS2 also loosing most of its bulk after a couple of years. If history repeats it self, which seems to be the case, then the recent rumblings of the PS3 Slim aren’t as far-fetched as they seem. Sony has already made several revisions to it’s PS3; although it hasn’t changed the size or the shape, it is still a start! From the looks of it making the PS3 slim won’t be all that hard either; a smaller power supply, more compact hard drives and viola, if it can be done with the NetBooks, then the PS3 should be a breeze. Although Sony has flat out denied reports of a slimmer version of the PS3, pictures have been released. Whether there fake or real? Only time will tell.
