For me, roguelike games are an absolute must have on any self-respecting games platform, and you don't get much more roguelike than, well, Rogue.
Touch Arcade points out that innovative game designer Yoot Saito says he's working on a game, well more of a digital toy, for the iPhone and Touch.
The game stars and is named after the primitive character from Seaman 2. Gabo seems to be a sort of digital pet, something Saito refers to as an experiment for the platform.
Judging by the videos, it looks like the game is all about interacting with the hairy primitive man, taking care of him and eventually, perhaps, forming a bond with him.
I've posted one of the videos found on the site on the jump. I'm definitely up for checking this out once it hits state side, which will be after a Japan-only release it looks like.
Zombie Mansion - the experimental First Person Shooter for the iPhone we looked at back in October - has been making steady progress and is currently going through the App Store approval process.
The game uses a combination of the accelerometer and on screen soft keys to control the action as you battle your way through a mansion. Full of Zombies. Ok, it's not the most original setting, but as the video playthrough (after the jump) shows it could be fun in an old-school way. Graphically, the game looks part way between Doom and Quake I, with a twist of Hexen,
Assuming all goes well and Apple don't throw a fit, the game should be up on the App Store soon for around $US6.99.
The iPhone is being widely touted as the next big Gaming Thing. It is definitely true that the JesusPhone™ is a capable gaming device but if tests performed by Handheld Games are correct, the new iPod Touch is a much better performer.
OK, maybe I'm getting a bit too excited about Aurora Feint II: The Arena. But it is a Puzzle Quest-ish, multiplayer-ish iPhone game.
It looks like Aurora Feint II: The Arena is already getting a discount. We broke the news yesterday that the upcoming sequel to popular iPhone role-playing game was hitting later this week for $US10, but the developers contacted me last night to let me know they've decided to drop the price initially.
Well, shit. There goes my free time. This has somehow evaded my notice up til now - most likely because the words "iPhone" and "game" are enough to set my eyeballs a' rollin' - but it appears that EA are bringing SimCity to the iPhone. And not just any version, but a version of SimCity 3000 (or at least one that looks like it); probably the best of the bunch. It'll be the same basic deal, only with touch controls, extending to the use of two-finger dragging for things like establishing zones. EA say it should hit the App Store sometime in December, for the "yeah, I'll finally buy an iPhone game" price of $US10.
SimCity for the iPhone may ruin my life (in a good way) [VentureBeat]
With several hundred thousand downloads, Aurora Feint's gamers have been begging for a full-blown paid version of the free-to-play iPhone role-playing game. It looks like they'll be getting it on Friday or next week at the latest.
OK, so it's been out for awhile, but I recently stumbled across Lux Touch for the iPhone and have quickly become addicted. The free Risk knock-off for the iPhone and iTouch has you playing as the blue army in a bid to conquer the world.
It looks like Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords will be hitting the App Store next month for $US9.95.
