iPhone Games

Stupid Zombies 2 by GameResort LLC is currently free for the iPhone and iPad. This is the full ad-free version, not the normal preview version offered in the App Store. The game will only be free for a limited time until it returns to its normal $0.99 price, so grab it now while you have the chance.

The sequel to the popular physics puzzler game features 500 new levels, and the option to choose between a male and female hero character. The game is a simple physics shooter where you must destroy stupid zombies with your laser guided shotgun. Like any physics puzzler, Stupid Zombies offers hours of addictive and sometimes frustrating fun. You can earn extra points by getting headshots, and must earn stars to unlock the various levels. There are plenty of different zombies to kill, and lots of challenging scenarios that will keep you busy.

Endless Road from Chillingo Ltd is now free for a limited time. The driving game is a sleek looking endless runner where players must drive for their lives to avoid the crumbling road behind them. Like most endless runner games, players must avoid various obstacles while collecting coins, and power-ups. The coins can then be used in the "garage" to buy upgrades and new cars.

Endless Road avoids being another run of the mill endless runners thanks to its isometric landscapes, clean looking graphics, and fun soundtrack. The game also features leader board support, 48 unique challenges, and the ability to compete with Facebook friends in weekly tournaments. There are also plenty of power-ups, weapons and maps to unlock to keep you busy.

JED-GO Untouchable from JED GAMES is currently free through the Apple App Store, but so is the classic iOS game Cowboy vs. Zombies. Both games are simplistic shooters where players must defend themselves from waves of zombies. In JED-GO the player is tasked with defending three tiers of artificial brains from various alien created monsters. The game features plenty of upgrades, weapons and 48 different levels through four different scenarios (Desert Encounter, Toxic Sewage, Mutation Plant and Space Invasion). However, you'll probably get bored of the game before you have a chance to buy anything cool (like a pet dragon), or get to the Toxic Sewage stage.

JED-GO Untouchable defiantly tries to be interesting with its various over-the-top upgrades and creatures, but its tedious gameplay will bore older players. The game is more suited for children than gamers looking for a fun and simple zombie shooter to pass the time. Cowboy vs. Zombies may be less creative than JED-GO, but it offers a more challenging gaming experience.

According to a rumor started by PocketGamer, Apple plans to announce a dedicated iOS game controller during an unannounced April press event. Apple purportedly booked a room under a fake name at the annual Game Developers Conference to talk to developers about the unnamed "joypad". PocketGamer claims "multiple sources" have confirmed the report, but no one has actually seen or held a prototype.

Launching an Apple-branded game controller does seem to make a lot of sense since iOS games are becoming more advanced. However, iOS fans and analysts have been clamoring for a new Apple product since the iPad mini was launched, and rumors of Apple televisions and watches have been running rampant throughout the blogosphere ever since. An official Apple game controller could be a huge disappointment to fans if Apple doesn't announce something more groundbreaking to go along with it. PocketGamer also suggested this could be Apple's reaction to an increase of third-party controllers, or the recently announced Game Pad for Samsung devices.

Final Fantasy V is now available for the iPhone and iPad. The iOS version of the popular RPG game features all the original characters, plus the extra dungeon and job classes from the 2006 Game Boy Advance version. The game has also received a slight makeover featuring enhanced characters designs and graphics from Kazuko Shibuya. Other features include: The Tetsuya Nomura-designed optional boss Enuo, Game Center support, and achievements.

FFV was originally released in Japan on Nintendo's Super Famicom twenty years ago. Two slightly different versions of the game were ported to Sony's PlayStation and Nintendo's Game Boy Advance after its original release. The story follows four strangers who must band together to stop an evil sorcerer named Exdeath.
