Fishing Kings by Gameloft is one of the finest fishing apps you can have on your mobile phone. It employs everything in your smartphone tackle box - vibration, tilt and touch - to provide as realistic a simulation as you’ll ever find.

Red Bull X-Fighters is a fabulously entertaining title from Xendex.  While this game has nothing to do with bulls or fighting it has everything to do with flat out fun and awesome visuals as you perform radical motocycle stunts at dizzying heights above roaring crowds while a gorgeous 3D camera pans and zooms to catch every stunning move and painful crash as your rag doll body gets thrashed by each improper landing.  It’s both beautiful and gruesome.

In Derek Jeter Real Baseball one of the Iphone’s hottest hitters takes a swing at simulating baseball  on the I device with one of their signature franchises.  Gameloft, in the mist of an MVP season, is no rookie to mobile baseball as they’ve been putting out versions of Derek Jeter in java for years so it’s assumed they know baseball.
