It’s always nice to see the mainstream media getting in on the fun with the iPhone and other mobile handset gaming. Statesman.com talk about gaming on the iPhone and iPod Touch, plus the competitors such as Nokia and Sony getting in on the action now that Apple has opened up a whole new industry. Games mentioned in the article are Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D ($9.99) and Super Monkey Ball ($9.99).
Clayton Wakida, a TV news producer from Honolulu, was never into mobile games because they were so “primitive.” But after he purchased the new iPhone in July, he decided to try “Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D” from mobile-game developer Polarbit. He’d heard good things about the game and downloaded it for $9.99 from the Apple application store.
“I was pretty blown away, actually,” Wakida said. In particular, he liked the gameplay features, which allow gamers to change the car’s speed and direction by tilting the cell phone, thanks to the accelerometer in the iPhone. The touch screen can also activate features such as shooting missiles. “The iPhone games are just a totally different experience,” he says.
