Firemint and EA have launched Real Racing on the Mac App Store just in time for Christmas. And not only does the game offer up the same high definition racing fun of the popular iOS series, but there's another twist as well: You can use an iPhone or iPad to control the game on your Mac. That's pretty cool -- I presume that means you need a Real Racing app to do it, but there are a few free versions out, and the full versions are only a buck during the holidays anyway. Other than that, the Mac app doesn't sound too new, though there are still licensed cars, lots of tracks to play through a career mode, and of course you can use the power of your full Mac rather than just an iOS device. The Mac App Store version is $12.99 right now. And elsewhere in the world of controlling things and the Mac App Store, a company called Drone Apps has released a Mac app called Drone Station, that will let you control your Parrot AR.Drone quadricopter directly from your Mac instead of an iOS device. The software looks pretty barebones, but it has quite a few options, including the ability to get all of the incoming video from the drone, as well as control it directly with any number of game controllers you can hook up directly to the Mac. It's actually very impressive, and if you happen to have a Parrot AR.Drone (or find one under the tree this holiday), the app seems worth a try. It's on the Mac App Store for $9.99. Parrot has told us that it will be at CES again this year, and we look forward to seeing what other news they've got for the AR.Drone and its Apple-created interfaces. Read More

posted by Joe Rossignol on Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 2:32 pm.   Today only, Electronic Arts is offering two of their popular iOS titles for absolutely free. Flight Control, regularly 99 cents, is free today for the first time since its March 2009 release on the App Store. Flight Control, in the words of EA, is a game where you must touch and drag the aircraft to their landing zones and avoid collisions. There are six airfields including the Original, Beach, Windy, Australian Outback, Aircraft Carrier and the new Storm Airfield each with unique characteristics and challenges. Over 4,000,000 copies of Flight Control have been sold since its release over two-and-a-half years ago, making it one of the more successful titles available on the App Store. Similarly, Mirror’s Edge™ is also a regularly 99 cents game that has been discounted to free as part of EA’s daily deal for December 10th. Mirror’s Edge™ is a game where, again quoted from its developer, you must immerse yourself in the world of Faith Connors – an underground “Runner” who bolts into action to stop a deadly threat in a “perfect society” full of sinister surveillance and relentless pursuers. You can run up walls, slide down ramps, ride zip lines, and hurdle between rooftops as you burn through 14 levels of increasing intensity in single-player combat mode. Mirror’s Edge™ for iPad and Flight Control HD are also being offered for free today. Read More

Flight Control was one of the original runaway successes of the iOS gaming era, and when Electronic Arts released an iPad version, its sales went crazy overnight. Releases on just about every other platform, including the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, followed. If for some reason you are one of the few that doesn’t already own Flight Control and Flight Control HD, EA has put both games on sale as part of their EA Daily Deals promotion. We haven’t even told you the best part yet! When we said the games were on sale, what we actually meant was you can now pick both Flight Control and Flight Control HD up for absolutely nothing. Free. Gratis. Etc… Now you really do have no excuse for not being addicted to landing those little planes and helicopters, whether you prefer the iPhone or iPad version. There’s just something about drawing landing paths with your fingers that the Xbox and PS3 versions can’t quite compete with. Have at it people! Read More

Now here's something I was never expecting. As part of the EA Daily Deals program this holiday season, Flight Control [Free] and Flight Control HD [Free] have had their prices slashed to zero dollars. Flight Control is about as classic as games get for iOS. It not only has won a pile full of awards since it was released, it's single handedly responsible for popularizing the whole "line drawing" and "chaos management" family of games. Everyone needs to download it while it's free, which from the looks of it, is today only. App Store Links:    Flight Control, $0.99     Flight Control HD, $4.99 (iPad Only) iTunes Link: Inspired by my son's mistrust of clowns (and who can blame him, really?), I gathered up a couple of talented friends and we made Sparky the Road Clown. I'm the developer, and we're excited to announce and release the game so that anyone and everyone can run over clowns at their leisure. Technically, you can also whack him with the big spinning mallet on top of the car, too, but that's just splitting hairs, really. Here's a 60 second trailer for the game: Basic gameplay is this -- you're trying to knock the clown into as many unique things as possible per game (that triggers the multiplier) and you're trying to go for distance beyond that. Distance you knock the clown is multiplied at the end of each round by how many things you've knocked him against (total) in the game. We've got a lot of big plans including mini-games within the app, a soundboard and game center (which was this close >< but we removed it at the last minute because we hadn't tested it enough) -- GC will be the first update and we'll be sending it to Apple very soon. Anyway, we had a great time making it and hopefully people will have a great time playing it. It's just a buck for iPad and iPhone, though we did target 3GS (armv7) and up to get within that magic 20mb download size. I'd love to hear some thoughts and feedback from people regarding the game. Thanks! Early impressions are that this is a really polished RPG with fun battle mechanics and environmental puzzles. One of the better RPGs I've played on iOS lately (and iOS native too). Recommended. Controls:Options for either floating virtual joystick or touch screen combined with one button that lights Read More

dez 07 Um dos melhores jogos de corrida para o iPad é o Real Racing 2, da Firemint, pois permite pilotar o seu carro com o uso do acelerômetro, inclinando o aparelho para determinar a direção do veículo. Mas o nosso leitor Chibill conseguiu encontrar uma maneira bem original (e bastante realística) de jogar, usando apenas a capinha padrão do iPad. Confira e depois nos diga o que acha da ideia. E viva a criatividade Made in Brazil. Conteúdo original © Blog do iPhone Antes de postar, conheça nossos Termos de Uso.
