Three Excellent iPhone Games For Car Racing Enthusiasts

Prior to the 2007 release of the iPhone, the world of mobile gaming did little to simulate and entertain. In fact, before Apple changed the way we do mobile communication, cellphone solitaire was as good as it got. However, one powerful invention changed all that and gamers the world over are forever grateful. In addition to being a wireless phone, the iPhone is also a mini PC, a digital camera, a music player and a game player.

Presently, there are more than 20,000 different iPhone games available for download at the iTunes store. It is at this store where iPhone users can search through the thousands and find games in just about every genre and every skill level. But amongst the vast selection, car racing games is one of the most popular. It could be because the angling of the iPhone right and left is a great imitation of a steering wheel or it could be because you get to drive as fast as you can in crazy locations without the risk of bodily injury or killjoy law enforcement on your tail. Whatever the attraction, below are three excellent car racing iPhone games.

Three Excellent Car Racing iPhone Games:

Death Rally: Over three million worldwide gamers can’t be wrong. Death Rally is one the most exciting and stimulating combat car racing games available. Players have to win races, take out opponents, compete in various events and play with tricked out weapons. This game is available for $0.99 on iTunes.

Console-Quality Games on Android; Shadowgun Gives Us Hope

Remember when phones and tablets were just used to play lame games and browse the web, in

addition to texting and all of that fun stuff? Not anymore.
With the newest quad-core tablet on the market, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, users can now

play console-quality games right from their tablets. The new Tegra 3 processor that Nvidia has

introduced has an unreal amount of power, which is sure to unveil an entirely new sector of gaming

and usability. You can finally play mobile games in your NY Nissan!




As more and more quad-core tablets hit the market, we should see developers following in the

footsteps of the latest mobile game to unleash the power of Tegra 3: Shadowgun.
If you’ve played Gears of War for the Xbox before, you’ll instantly recognise a similar style of

graphics and game play mechanics, which isn’t a bad thing.
While there are complaints from users that the game features some glitches and problems when

running the game on an Ice Cream Sandwich equipped tablet or phone, you really can’t go wrong

here for the $4.99 asking price.

Shadowgun has been available for older devices running Tegra 2 chips and a variety of others, but a

new edition has been released to take advantage of the Tegra 3 at the CES 2012 convention.
After all of the bugs are worked out, and after developers come on board to create powerful games

with quality story lines, we’ll see a complete revamp of the mobile game market.
Hopefully, we’ll even see some of the big name developers create mobile games on tablets now,

rather than just for major consoles and PC.

In the end, it all comes down to what you really need most in a tablet that matters most. You certainly

need to have plenty of speed, usability, innovation, and a variety of enhancements that bring new and

exciting things to the tablet world. But you also need a device that is capable of holding over the

insatiable appetite of the gaming crowd.

The new quad-core tablets and Shadowgun have done just that. Online classifieds has more

console-quality games that you might enjoy as well.

Top 10 Video Game Soundtracks

Love video games so much that you find yourself humming your favorite game’s music?  There’s a cure for that.  With many games intentionally putting more effort into their soundtrack, it is no surprise that this part of gaming has grown so much.  In fact, there is even a special category for it at the Video Game Awards.  If you’re still not convinced that video game music is more than meets the ear, check out these top ten video game soundtracks.  

     

    



1.Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Love 80’s music?  It doesn’t matter.  This collection of songs from the game where you get to steal cars and listen to radio stations that play the hits of the eighties, as well as hilarious entries in talk radio, is one of the best-selling video game soundtracks of all time.  The box set includes all seven radio stations, with entries for everyone from hip hop to soft rock and even Latin music.  



2.DJ Hero – This video game literally has players spinning incredible music.  The soundtrack to the game includes favorites from artists such as Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and DJ AM.  It even won a Video Game Award for Best Soundtrack in 2010.



3.Rock Band – Is rock music more your thing?  Then you won’t be disappointed at the soundtrack to this video game.  It has songs dating back to the seventies by Boston and the Ramones, along with new entries by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Queens of the Stone Age.  There are also classics from Nirvana and the Beastie Boys.



4.Guitar Hero – Not to be outdone, there is plenty of great music on these soundtracks for the rock or guitar lover. The soundtrack from Guitar Hero II is the most popular and includes entries from every band from Aerosmith to Van Halen.


5.Castlevania: Symphony of the Night – This video game has players battling in a Dracula-esque type setting.  However, for its haunting tunes, the soundtrack often stands out as a must hear for both lovers of video game music and symphonic melodies. 


6.Legend of Zelda – In another entry in symphonic music, the soundtracks to Zelda games often include memorable melodies.  One of the most popular is from The Ocarina of Time, which centers around a flute like instrument.


7.Bioshock – The soundtrack to this game was so popular, it won the award in 2007 for Best Soundtrack at the Video Game Awards.  Featuring instrumental music exclusively from the game, it beat out games such as Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero III.

8.Nier – For videogame soundtracks in Japanese, this one is hard to beat.  It is often described as one of the most memorable parts of the game and was developed specifically for it.


9.Kingdom Hearts – Looking for video game music for kids?  Then check out this soundtrack from the creators of this Disney-themed game.  Kids of all ages will appreciate the songs just for them.


10.London Philharmonic Orchestra – Believe it or not, video game soundtracks are so popular, this world class orchestra takes them on in a CD entitled “Greatest Video Game Music.”  There are themes from video games such as Call of Duty, Super Mario Bros, and even Angry Birds.
