Many games as of late feature high tech gameplay, amazing graphics and more. Of course, this isn’t much of a surprise as game developers are doing everything they can to harness the hefty hardware packed into current generation consoles. However, while many games feature great gameplay, some folks have suggested that developers are switching their focus from gameplay and only worrying about making ridiculous, over the top graphics.

Luckily, if you’re one who thinks that games of yesteryear are more your thing there is no shortage of rereleases. In fact, it was just noted today that the iconic beat-em’-up Streets of Rage 2 is now available for $2.99 on the iOS App Store. What’s great about this game is that it features all of the content we’ve come to know and loe from the original title but adds in much welcomed features such as Bluetooth multiplayer.

Not long after we got done telling you about how popular mobile platforms like Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android have become one of the most popular games from iOS has gotten updated. No, it’s not Rovio’s Angry Birds but it does focus on birds and if you haven’t played it you definitely need to… now. The game I’m talk about of course is Andreas Illigers Tiny Wings.

For those not familiar with this game it’s very simple – the goal of the game is to utilize various hills as ramps to gain speed and fly higher and higher without losing momentum. Sure, it seems simple but priced at 99 cents you can’t really ask for better value.

Anyways, it was just made known that Tiny Wings has gotten an update today that will add support for Apple’s Game Center but also makes the sixth island easier for gamers to get through. Check it out for yourself and let us know how it goes!

As we’ve said many times in the past Rovio’s Angry Birds has largely been the most successful game made for a smartphone platform of all time. Sure, there have been several hard hitting competitors that will look to take some of the hype away from Angry Birds but as of yet this hasn’t happened. In fact, Angry Birds has continued to grow starting first on Apple’s iOS and expanding to other platforms like Android, the PSP and even desktop platforms like OS X and Windows.

With so many different ways to hit the consumer, sales are sure to be huge, right? You betcha – Rovio’s Peter Vesterbacka recently came forth during the SXSW event to tell us that collectively Angry Birds has been download over 100 million times. Not only has its Android version seen 30 million+ downloads but even the PSP version has topped its own respective charts.

While ti seems that Angry Birds is almost getting the Guitar Hero treatment, the near future seems very bright for the franchise and Rovio.

As you’re sure to know Minecraft is a highly successful and popular game that was developed independently by Mojang  Specifications. Well, now that the desktop version of the game has been selling like hotcakes, the game’s original creator, Notch, told us not too long ago that they would be making the jump from the PC to mobile phones a port to Apple’s iPhone.

Unfortunately, if you were looking to get your hands on the device soon you may be disappointed as Notch recently came forward during GDC to let us know that the company has yet to start work on the iPhone port. He also elaborated on what the game will be like by saying he considers it more of a “spin-off” seeing how the exact gameplay that we’ve all come to know and love from the PC version wouldn’t work too well on a 3.5-inch screen.

Are you excited for the Minecraft iPhone port?

Apple’s iOS mobile platform powers very popular devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. While there is a ton of productive software baked into the platform, everyone knows that the real joy comes out of the massive library of games found within the App Store. Of course, while hardcore gamers may find Angry Birds a bit boring, Infinity Blade from Epic Games may be more up their alley. In fact, this game is regarded as being one of the most graphically advanced games ever released for the iOS platform.

Unfortunately, not all gamers may want to spend $5.99 on a game for their iPhone but Epic has just announced today that it will be dropped down to just $2.99. In addition to the price cut, it’s also been made known that a major update will take place at some point in the near future that will include new enemies, a new dungeon area and competitive multiplayer.

Sounds great, we’ll keep you posted.

When it comes to popular mobile games Angry Birds has consistently been towards the top of the charts. Currently available on Android, iOS, OS X and many more platforms Angry Birds has spawned many different releases and will even get a special edition based on the forthcoming movie from 20th Century Fox ‘Rio’.

During the Super Bowl there will be a hidden code for an addition level of Angry Birds, as many of you are sure to know.

There are quite a few different iPhone applications with more getting announced all the time. However, one that has consistently stayed at the head of the pack is none other than Rovio’s Angry Birds. While we’ve already seen special edition versions of the game that coincided with different holidays, we’ve yet to see a formal successor to the game.

Well, it seems that the developers will be doing things a bit different than one normally would have guessed and will release Angry Birds Rio based on 20th Century Fox’s forthcoming movie Rio. The game will be available sometime in March but the movie, which is about some birds attempting to escape their captors, will be in theaters starting on April 15th.

Trailer for the game included after the break.

In leui of the forthcoming Super Street Fighter IV launch, Capcom will be discounting the iPhone version of Street Fighter IV from $9.99 to $6.99. Normally, I’d brush this off as just another overpriced iPhone app but the iPhone version of Street Fighter IV stays so true to its console counterpart its ridiculous.

I’ve already bought it at the $9.99 price point, unfortunately, but will you be picking it up at its new lower price?

If you’re looking for some new iPhone games but can’t justify any purchases you should check out Heavy Gunner 3D. This app will be free for today only thanks to OneAppaDay’s ongoing efforts.

I just got a chance to check out the game and I have to say, it’s definitely worth it. Not to mention the fact that it’s free. But I mean honestly, what’s more fun than shooting down a ridiculous amount of onscreen baddies with over 130 weapon combinations? Nothing, that’s what.

Go download it, now. Extra points if you check it out on the iPad and tell us about your experience.
