Namco has already showed they can port retro titles to the iPhone (see: Pacman) and develop in house games likethe just released Pool Pro Online 3. Check out Lieutenant Fly, a puzzle game mix they’re publishing soon:
On one side of the screen your trying to match up as many of the same blocks to gain more ammo. On the other side, you have to destroy spiders while they randomly fall and impact your health.
In the midst of this whole GDC hoopla, I noticed one of the games we liked most just dropped to free so of course I’d let you know. Jerry Lee’s second iPhone game about reaching the skies and collecting points A Doodle Flyis FREE limited time!
A Doodle Fly
A Doodle Flight had me scratching my head trying to understand how this literal doodle artworks are so damn addicting. With Jerry Lee’s new game, I understood that one must not question the art but rather fully bathe in it (ha!). This game’s just as fun (if not more) as his first!
While I know there’s a huge market for Namco’s retro titles, I’ve always wished they’d start busting some developing chops for new and more mass friendly games. Pool Pro Online 3 ($4.99)was demo’d to us and boy isn’t it amazing!
The game also serves as Namco’s introduction to the iPhone world of their new social-cross platform network called Unite SDK. Yes the game does feature online multiplayer as well as matches against Android phones (BLECH!), PC and Mac devices.
While we did tell you yesterday about this game, I kinda felt bad that we didn’t have any more information about the game as well as screens so let’s Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction:
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction continues Splinter Cell Double Agent’s story. To add to that, Splinter Cell Conviction is exactly faithful to the 360 version including projective screens and tag and kill (mark and execute).
The game’s location includes Malta and DC. This game according to Gameloft should be an “introduction of the series to new fans as well as homecoming to the series’ biggest fans”.
The Red Star is a pretty popular PS2 game so naturally XS Games would want to port it to the iPhone. And lo and behold, yesterday at GDCwe got to see the game and here it is in action:
The game is about alternate universe Russia where sorcery and technology. To be exact, the name of the country is United Republic of the Red Star aka URRS (ha!). We got more screens and info after the jump.
You were the first to know about Gameloft’s upcoming zombie/Resident Evil 5-like game Zombie Infection earlier today. I also promised we’ll get you screens and info. Here they are:
Zombie Infection is a third person shooter in which you can play as Shanna OR Anderson. The story is that your character’s brother gets lost in South Africa and it’s YOUR job to look for him.
Glu Mobile keeps a good catalogue of mobile games outside of the iPhone world so don’t be surprised if they port games from that collection to the iPhone, such as this one. Take a look at the upcoming puzzle game: Stranded: Mysteries of Time iPhone:
Where as the first version of this series on the mobile is very survival driven, Stranded for the iPhone promises to be much more story driven. You start the game being chased with a T-Rex then it’s YOUR task to avoid getting killed.
There’s an avalanche of previews coming your way all throughout the day today so let’s combine some the Free App A Day post and another FREE game I saw that you might like.
FIGHT AGAINST LOCAL STREET GANGS AND TRY TO SURVIVE !! No cheap guns like in other baby games! Go on the street and punch, kick, jump-kick, knee kick…… KICK SOME MAJOR A*S !!!
Combining the fast pace of action games with the satisfaction of a precision sniper shot, Sniper Strike offers exciting gameplay like never before. You eliminate targets in six distinct and beautiful environments.
Glyderand Glyder 2are two of my favorite iPhone games ever so to have the opportunity to replay them again with “new skin” will be amazing. How To Train Your Dragon (an official movie tie in) does the job:
One of the first few things you’ll notice about the game is the removal of the pressure thing that made both Glyder’s challenging for casual gamers. How To Train Your Dragon attempts to correct that.
While I’m still busy preparing the gameplay videos, screens and info we gather here at GDC today (boy was it TIRING! but fun!), Gamelion Studios has dropped the amazing Funkyball Worldsto FREE today!
Funkyball Worlds is a groovy physics-based platform game that is as beautiful as it is challenging. Guide the realistically weighted Funkyball across the platforms against the clock, collecting the stars to improve your time.
