If enough developers would be willing to implement this within they&#8217;re games, this could turn into a very big deal! More information in this can be found on Demiforce&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/i33.tinypic.com\/2z6yrfa.png\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ngmoco Announcements:<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother important announcement this week was the release date of Ngmoco&#8217;s <em>Rolando<\/em>. The long awaited iPhone title will be available on <strong>December 12th<\/strong>. The company also revealed some details\u00c2\u00a0on two more of their upcoming games, <em>Doctor Awesome<\/em> and <em>Dropship<\/em>. Both games will be &#8220;budget titles&#8221; meaning they will likely sell for under $1.99. All three of the games mentioned above will be available by years end.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"center;\"><span style=\"underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cube Released to the App Store: <\/strong><br \/>\nA few days ago, the very first FPS (First Person Shooter) was released to the App Store for <strong>free. <\/strong>The game is called <em>Cube<\/em> [<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=292763299&#038;mt=8\">App Store<\/a>], and is a technical demo according to the developer.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The graphics and controls are incredible, but a few things such as frame rate might turn you down. There are also first person shooters coming to the iPhone such as <em>Zombie Mansion<\/em>, <em>Re-Volt<\/em> and potentially <em>Bioshock<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fieldrunners Update:<span style=\"normal;\"> <\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe last but certainly not least important news story of the week is the arrival of <em>Fieldrunner<\/em>&#8216;s 1.1 update. In case you don&#8217;t know, <em>Fieldrunners<\/em> [<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=292421271&#038;mt=8\">App Store<\/a>] is the new highly addictive tower defence game for the iPhone and iPod touch. The new update includes music, new maps and new gameplay modes for users to enjoy. Here is a screenshot of what maps on<strong> Fieldrunners<\/strong> look like:<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The game sells for $4.99 which may seem like a little much, but I find it to be worth every penny, even without the new features.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed reading through this week&#8217;s best App Store news, and I also hope you check back soon for more news, reviews and interviews here on the site.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This will be the first of a weekly series here on RazorianFly where we give you an in-depth summary of the past few days in App Store news.
