iPhone Games

Moga has released a teaser image for its second iOS 7 controller. The image clearly shows a Bluetooth button which suggests the new gamepad will be a wireless device, unlike the Moga Ace Power which requires a Lightning connection. This also hopefully means it will work with all iOS 7 devices including the iPad. Moga's first iOS 7 controller the Ace Power only supports the iPhone 5 and later and fifth-generation iPod.

Currently the SteelSeries Stratus is the only universal iOS 7 controller on the market. Other devices like ClameCase's GameCase and Logitech's PowerShell all need to be attached to an iPhone or iPod to work.

ACR Drift is a new free-to-play racing game from developer Crooz Inc.. Players can earn money to buy and customize over 50 world famous cars such as the Bugatti Veyron , Pagani Zonda Cinque, Bentley Continental GT and more. The game also features a wide selection of courses around the world, detailed graphics and reflection mapping technology that displays the cityscape and landscape on each car body.

The controls in ACR Drift are very, very simple. You just swipe left or right to drift or change lanes, and swipe up to use a nitro boost. The only real difficult part is timing your swipes to drift at the correct moment. The most annoying part of the game is that the load times between races can actually be longer than the races themselves. I only gave the game a quick spin so it is unclear if it eventually requires in-app purchases to continue play like other freemium titles.

The famous crappy bird who became an internet and App Store phenomenon has found a second life on eBay. As you probably already know, Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen, mysteriously pulled the popular game from the Apple App Store and Google Play on Sunday, and now it's selling for thousands of dollars on eBay.

There are multiple iOS and Android devices with Flappy Bird installed on them listed on eBay for upwards of $50,000. One auction by a user named pindrus reached $99,900 in bids before eBay pulled the plug. Keep in mind, just like the hilarious Flappy Bird App Store customer reviews, most of these listings and bids are probably fake.
