Hot on the bumper of the Fast & Furious Pink Slip, Firemint and I-Play have fired up Fast & Furious 3D for the Iphone and Java to coincide with the movie release. While games that are released to capitalize on movies have a generally rotten egg smell to them perhaps Firemint, who delivered a nice ride in Pink Slip, can buck the trend. Still, this makes for some heavy traffic with fast and furious street racers crowding all the mobile lanes to await the green light.

Nanosaur 2

The Iphone and Ipod touch with their accelerometers have a remarkable ability to impart near organic control to games. Nanosaur 2 by Pangea Software is a prime example of how tilt control can add a dimension that even consoles can’t match.

The flight engine in Nanosaur 2 is as natural and transparent as it gets. A simple tilt of your screen has you turning, swooping and diving with ease until you’ll feel as if you’ve been reincarnated as a large-winged Pterodactyl. There’s an exhilarating feeling of flight to Nano 2 as you can feel yourself being aerodynamically lifted upon the wind by your expansive wingspan. Once you get use to the handling and turning radius of your prehistoric bird of prey you’re free to explore a fantastic open-ended primordial world.
