Reduceri de weekend in AppStore :
Raging Thunder ($3.99 -> $1.99)

Review :
One of the very first iPhone jailbreak games I played was Raging Thunder [
App Store], a 3D racer from Polarbit. It was rough around the edges, sported a rather crude menu interface, and was perhaps the most impressive iPhone game available at the time. That was months ago, and since then the iTunes App Store and iPhone 2.0 have arrived, making iPhone gaming “official.†And thanks to Polarbit’s recent App Store release, Raging Thunder is now official as well.
Happily, the new Raging Thunder is far more polished than the the original, jailbreak incarnation.

TouchSports Tennis ($4.99->$1.99)

Review :
Veteran mobile games developer Handheld Games Corp. has recently released TouchSports Tennis ‘09 [
App Store] for the iPhone and iPod touch.
Right off, we want to indicate that TouchSports Tennis really is a “console quality†sports title. It looks and feels much more like something you’d expect to see on a Sony PSP than most of the sports titles in the App Store. The 3D court environment and players move smoothly and fluidly in a manner reminiscent of Wii Sports‘ tennis, but with realistic rather than cartoonish graphics.
TouchSports Tennis features a combination of touchscreen and accelerometer controls that takes a little bit of getting used to, but ultimately offers a solid interface to the on-screen action. The player always controls the near-side, on-screen character. Serving involves a single tap which brings up a power bar that increases in strength until it’s tapped a second time, triggering a serve. A tap anywhere on the player’s side of the court sends the character running to that location. The on-screen character automatically swings when a ball passes within her vicinity. Tilting the iPhone left or right at the moment of swing determines the shot angle. The control system works very well but my main criticism is that regardless of how hard the iPhone is tilted, the ball won’t land out of bounds. That’s a little too much of a “gimme.†Eurocenter’s more recent release, Ace Tennis Online [App Store], offers similar gameplay but with the potential for out of bounds shots, albeit in cartoonish, 2D graphics.
