Sunday Comics: Dead Island Gaming on the iPhone and iPod touch has been a huge hit for Apple – a neat, unique experience combining a relatively big screen, multitouch controls, motion-sensor controls, network access for social gaming, in-app commerce for virtual goods and more.
Love playing games on your iPhone or iPhone Touch, yet hate using simulated touch screen control pads? Australian company 22Moo looks to throw you a bone, with the GameBone Pro iPhone controller.
Neutron, Exit Games’ cross-platform multiplayer gaming service, just got upgraded with iPhone support, the company announced today.
The service is said to include real-time, turn-based and tournament multiplayer options, game lobbies and various matchmaking capabilities, buddy lists, leaderboards, profiles, in-game voice and text chat and last, but certainly not least, billing and in-game microtransactions.
“The iPhone presents a very unique opportunity for mobile online gaming as it is both specifically designed for online services and comes with the App Store, an already successful and accessible distribution channel”, said Christof Wegmann, CTO of Exit Games. “Neutron’s support of this new and innovative mobile device will ensure that iPhone game developers have a means to take advantage of its wireless connectivity and add social gaming features.” Wegmann further adds, “The iPhone will surely establish itself as a dominant mobile gaming platform and we’re pleased to support multiplayer and social features in games developed for the device.”
Yesterday those willing to get fancy with forced firmware updates and such were able to sneak into the iPhone’s App Store and buy games for the device early. Today, firmware 2.0 and access to those 30 or so games are official.
If you’re looking to buy a game for your iPhone than make sure to check out our Ultimate Guide to iPhone Gaming which includes quick impressions of 20 or so of the games as well as screenshots, videos and details for most of the games currently available and a bunch yet to come.
Our most recent update to the guide includes impressions of Tetris, EA’s Sudoku and Crash Bandicoot Nitro Racing. Personally, I’ve played around with 15 different iPhone games and my favourites so far include Super Monkey Ball, Bomberman Touch and Trism… oh Trism. Oh, I also really like Zen Pinball.
