Apex Designs are bringing their GTA style game ‘Payback’ to iPhone. Originally released in the US for the Gameboy Advance back in 2005. The game was well known for pushing the GBA graphically to it’s limits. Apart from the obvious graphical upgrades, not much is known yet on how the iPhone version of game differs from the GBA version, but it looks likely that it will be a port of the currently available GP2X version. With Car Jack Streets also on it’s way from TAG, 2009 looks like a good year for some serious criminal action on the iPhone. Read on for screens and video (GP2X version). [Read more →]

With it’s great tilt controls, it was only a matter of time before the iPhone received it’s first futuristic hover racer. Looking like a cross between Wipeout and F-Zero, Low Grav Racer put’s you in control of a hover speeder where you must compete against other AI controlled racers across 12 tracks.

Zoom Zoom from DAVA was released today, and while it may look like your average top down racer, it actually has a rather unique control method. Zoom Zoom is the first,and maybe the last!, racing game to be fully controlled by your voice. You can scream, shout, buzz, roar or zoom to navigate your car on different tracks. There is no touching the iPhone screen in this game.

The developers are also offering $100 to three players who send in a crazy video of them playing the game. Visit http://zoomzoom.davaconsulting.com for details.

The game is out now for an introductory price of $1.99 [Read more →]

Take a slice of Sonic 2’s special 3D bonus stages, mix with a pinch of Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road, add half a pound of escargot, a teaspoon of racer, a shot of platformer and a handful of prepared silky smooth tilt controls, bring to the boil, sieve and serve. No this isn’t Gordon Ramsey’s latest culinary creation but an exercise in how to make one of the most enjoyable games on iPhone. [Read more →]

Two racers hit the AppStore today, Ferrari GT from Gameloft and Moto Racing GP from Darxun Games. Based on an upgraded Asphalt 4 engine, Ferrari GT looks fantastic. Expect a more simulation style racer than the arcady Asphalt 4. The game is available now at $9.99 (£5.99).

Cobra Mobile have released their futuristic racing game ‘Low Grav Racer‘ onto the AppStore. We’ve had a quick hands on with the game, and can say that it is a solid effort. Some people have described it as a Wipeout clone, but I would say it is more in line with Nintendo’s F-zero series, particularly the N64 version. The game controls well using tilt and the tracks wizz by at a solid frame rate. We’ll have a review soon. In the meantime read on for screenshots and the full press release from Cobra Mobile [Read more →]

Tag games have release screenshots of their GTA clone ‘Car Jack Streets’. Viewed from a birds eye/top down perspective the game shares its visual stye with the classic days of GTA 2 before it went full 3D. We’d obviously love a full 3D version of GTA 3 but we’ll settle with any game that lets us fulfill our virtual car jacking addiction! [Read more →]

It’s like a PSP, that you can play with on your iPhone. Seriously though, Powerboat Challenge is an excellent step towards actually getting PSP-quality games on your iPhone, and is by far the best iPhone racing game out there! You wanna know why? I’ll race ya for it.
