World Rally Champion Colin McRae may have passed on some years ago in a tragic helicopter incident, but his legacy has lived on through the motorsport title he endorsed when he was at the top of his game. Colin McRae Rally is regarded as one of the original titles for rally fans, and now, the classic title has gone mobile. After several years in the wilderness, Colin McRae Rally for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is here and ready to download right now from the iOS App Store.
The App Store and Google Play are becoming, if not already, major players in the gaming world. Most big new titles have some form of mobile game for those on iOS and Android, but a couple of big names have yet to fully embrace this smartphone and tablet boom.
One of the angles of iOS 7 that seems to be forgotten amongst all the noise about icons and translucency is the renewed focus on Game Center and official support for third party game controller under ‘Made for iPhone’ branding. After what felt like a half-hearted attempt in the recent past, Apple now appears to be on the verge of embracing the huge number of games in the App Store.
The official Man of Steel game has just arrived for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices, and as any big fans of the superhero flick will vouch, this is quite a big deal. There have been several apps and games already released for both Android and iOS in anticipation for the movie, which hits cinemas worldwide today, but nothing beats the official game. Details and download link can be found right after the break!
It's definitely common practice these days for video game producers to stir up as much hype as possible for their new titles before they actually land on our shelves. The gaming industry is literally worth billions of dollars across the globe, so drumming up plenty of pre-release excitement and interest definitely becomes worthwhile when those sales figures are eventually reported. As far as gaming franchises go, they don't come much bigger than Call of Duty, and if the latest trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts is anything to go by then it looks like gamers are in for a deep blue based treat when this one eventually lands.
The gaming world has leant heavily on the console as a primary medium of enjoying the latest and greatest titles, and with the recent emergence of mobile-based action, companies are now trying to bring the mass of quality apps back to the traditional console format. BlueStacks, the company behind the popular Android emulation app for Windows and Mac, recently announced its GamePop console aimed at competing with the likes of the OUYA by allowing players to enjoy Android-based titles on their TV, and to add to that, it looks as though support for iOS games will also be added to the GamePop's repertoire.
The first-person shooter genre has really flourished on modern mobile devices, and up there mixing it with the best of them is Gameloft's modern combat series. The publisher has quite a few similar titles available for both Android and iOS, but the Modern Combat franchise has easily been its strongest hitherto. Having already developed a strong legion of fans, Gameloft has just gone ahead and teased a trailer for Modern Combat 5, and even though the previous releases have enjoyed high-end, console-esque visuals and gameplay, this latest version appears to have stepped things up once more. Details, as well as that trailer, can be found after the jump!
Deus Ex: Human revolution was arguably one of the most eagerly anticipated titles of the current generation, and it arrived to much fanfare including rave reviews from both gamers and the press alike. We loved Deus Ex ourselves, which is why we're suitably giddy to hear that the game’s creators, Square Enix has today announced that it is bringing a new game to the iPhone and iPad - a game based on the Deus Ex franchise.
Even though the PlayStation 3 is coming towards the end of its lifecycle as Sony's premier gaming device, that doesn't mean that development of top-notch games has ended. In fact, there are some potentially triple-A titles on the horizon, and 'Rain' has to be somewhere towards the top of that list. You can check out the all-new story trailer and screenshots right after the jump!
Historically, PC gamers have lauded it over their console playing counterparts, claiming that their hugely expensive graphics cards are light-years ahead of the latest and greatest console hardware. It's the way it's always been, and it's made it possible for some truly impressive PC gaming graphics.
