Angry Birds Star Wars – yes, you’ve read that right, Angry Birds Star Wars is coming to iOS on November 8th. According to the press releases, it will combine the classic Angry Birds gameplay with the characters, stories and settings of the Star Wars universe. Holy cow! Err… Bird! Combining those two franchises does seem a bit odd at first, but then again, it can’t be worse than Episode 1. So prepare yourself for some epic slingshot action on Planet Tatooine and the iconic Death Star! I would have loved to show you some actual gameplay, but so far only a teaser image and trailer have been released to the public. Check out the trailer below, featuring what appears to be Obi Wan Kebirdy.
Ubisoft’s Rayman is coming to iOS! And damn soon as well: Get ready for a real jump ‘n’ run treat on September 20th! After playing a smaller part in Ubisoft’s Rabbids franchise, Rayman has recently celebrated a huge comeback with the release of the fantastic Rayman Origins. It was basically a reboot of the Rayman franchise, focusing on what made the little fella without legs and arms so famous in the first place: superb platforming mixed with gorgeous visuals.
In Rayman Jungle Run the gameplay will be a bit streamlined in order to make it control better on your iPhone and iPad touchscreen. Just like in the endless runner Canabalt, Rayman will run automatically while you need to take care of jumping/flying over obstacles and punching the bad guys. Unlike Canabalt however, Rayman Jungle Run will consist of levels that are not randomly generated. This is aces in my book, since I hope the developers will carry over the creativity that made the levels in Rayman Origins so outstanding!
If you look at the trailer you’ll also see that, like its bigger console brother, Rayman Jungle Run looks and sounds fantastic! So if all goes well, we can expect an incredibly charming platforming game – and who doesn’t like a great platforming game?!
If you own an iPhone or iPad and you’re into racing games, you’ve definitely heard of the Real Racing franchise. Not only are those amazing racing games, but the developer Firemonkeys(former Firemint, then merged with IronMonkey to form Firemonekys) always managed to push the visuals to new heights with each and every hardware update Apple released. 1080p output via HDMI? Check. Wireless Full-Screen gameplay via AirPlay the moment that feature was announced with iOS5? Check.
So is it surprising that the brand-new Real Racing 3 trailer will knock your socks off? It looks awesome! It even reminded me of the very first Need for Speed: Shift (the grown-up version for consoles and pc, not the iOS release!). Unfortunately, Firemonkeys didn’t also announce a release date besides a vague “2012″. But if the first two Real Racing games are any indication for the quality we should expect from Real Racing 3, get your iPhones and iPads ready for some seriously awesome racing action!
Check out the latest trailer for Epic Games’ upcoming dungeon crawler Infinity Blade: Dungeons for iOS! Oh boy does this game look good! And while I’m guilty of having put way too many hours into Blizzard’s Diablo III lately, I can’t tell you how excited I am to get my hands on Infinity Blade: Dungeons. Maybe because it has no real-money auction house? Unfortunately, Epic Games hasn’t announced a release date yet – but it’s supposed to be available “soon”.
