The Lane Splitter Android App by fractiv is a an accelerometer based motorcycle racing game where the object is to get as far as you can without crashing. As you drive along the road you will need to maneuver through traffic while maintaining control of your motorcycle. Each car that you successfully maneuver past will give you some points. You will also gain points by performing a wheelie for as long as you can without crashing. When you finish your wheelie a time in seconds will be displayed and the number of points that you get for it.
Performing wheelies while maneuvering through traffic can be quite difficult. Steering also becomes a challenge while performing wheelies because your speed will increase quite a bit while performing a wheelie. Your speed will increase periodically as you advance in general. To control the rider simply tilt your phone to the right or left to move the rider to the right or to the left. To perform a wheelie, press and hold on the screen. When you want to finish the wheelie simply release.
Overall, this is a pretty cool accelerometer based motorcycle game that can be quite challenging. The controls are very responsive and the graphics are of high quality. At the time of this review the Lane Splitter Android App is free. Thumbs Up.
Birds. For an iPhone gamer, that word is likely to elicit one of two reactions: joy, or the rolling of eyes. And both seem to be inspired by the same popular title, Angry Birds. But if you fall into the latter camp, wherein just the mention of the game leaves you wishing there was an Angry Colonel Sanders in the App Store who needs to quickly set up an Angry Thanksgiving dinner, then Infinite Dreams, Inc. has just the game for you in its latest release.
Shoot the Birds is a very simple game with a very simple premise: shooting birds. Birds that, as it just so happens, carry a similar aesthetic sense to our angry friends, but with the exception of one particular breed, have more of a bird shape to allow them to avoid treading too closely to potential copyright territory.
As many birds of difference shapes, sizes, and colors fly overhead, it is your job as the resident pumpkin-headed scarecrow to dish out a little bit of down-home justice with your crossbow. Sure, a shotgun of sorts seems as though it would be a better fit for the farmland setting, but that would take away all (or at least a significant portion) of the fun.
Using your finger, you draw back to prepare the crossbow to fire; the further you drag your finger, the more powerful your shot. Move the arrow (which indicates your trajectory) to where you want your shot to fly, wait for the right moment, and let it go to fire. And just like that, you'll find yourself frequently foiling the flights of fowl.
There is more to it than that, however. For one thing, you have a time limit, and hits help prolong your mission, while near-misses will take away precious seconds. For maximum bird-shooting efficiency, you can wait until several birds are near each other (in a row, ideally) before letting your arrow fly, skewering the whole lot like a feathery shishkabob. Plus, what goes up must come down, and so firing arrows in a direction more vertical than horizontal can see your arrows fall back to earth, taking down birds both ways.
The game's objective is simple: shoot as many birds as possible within the time limit given. There are also a number of goals to accomplish before you can continue to the next round, though they don't need to all be accomplished in one turn. These include such feats as shooting a certain number of birds, reaching a certain score, or blasting as many feathered friends as you can in a single shot.
Shoot the Birds is fun, mildly addictive, and not too difficult-- you'll want to keep coming back to reach that next goal. The only major downsides are that the rounds tend to be over too quickly, and there really isn't much else to the game. But even with that said, Shoot the Birds is good for killing some time and is just the type of game the iPhone excels at, even if it's not quite as involving as some other games out there.

With World Cup fever about to grip the entire planet there really hasn’t been a better time to download a soccer-related game to your Android phone. The trouble is that the platform has been starved of a digital decent kick about almost since day one. Thankfully Gameloft has stepped up to the challenge by porting over its popular Real Football 2010 title from Apple’s iPhone.
A veteran of mobile gaming for some time, the Real Football franchise is seen by many as the only “premier league” option for portable footy fanatics. Almost from the moment you boot up the game it’s clear why this is the case – the presentation and sheer range of options is incredible, putting Real Football 2010 on par with most fully-fledged home console representations of the sport.
The usual exhibition and training modes are available but Real Football 2010 also boasts a full season component where you can pick a club side and lead them to glory throughout an entire campaign. Not only do you control the action on the pitch but you also take care of the day-to-day organisation of the club, making this a lot like the classic “Player Manager” titles of old.
There’s even the option to take your skills online and play against other people in the Real Football League, which is essentially a leader board that ranks the best players in the world.
Of course with the 2010 World Cup about to start there’s the obligatory Cup mode which allows you to replicate the thrills and spills of the planet’s biggest sporting spectacle. To round things off there’s the awkwardly-named “Enter the Legend” mode, which is a clone of similar modes seen in EA’s FIFA and Konami’s Pro Evo Soccer. Here you only control one player as opposed to the entire team, and it’s your job to guide your digital avatar to fame and glory.
As if all this wasn’t enough you can also tinker around with the game’s comprehensive Editor mode. This allows you to effectively create your own team and re-name certain players. From here you can also connect to Gameloft’s database to download the latest team rosters. Although Real Football 2010 doesn’t feature actual club sides (Manchester United are Manchester Red, for example) it does boast authentic player names.
After such an overwhelming collection of modes and options, actually getting into the game mode itself feels like something of an anticlimax. The visuals are seriously impressive, and like Gameloft’s other Android titles Real Football 2010 proves what a yawning gap there is between the developer’s output and that of its rivals.
Considering the limitations of a touchscreen interface the controls manage to hold up pretty well – players are commanded using a virtual D-pad and the interface is kept to a minimum by only using two buttons: one for pass and one for shoot. These controls change depending on the context of the action, though. For example, the shoot button unleashes a sliding tackle if you’re not in possession of the ball.
The game engine is surprisingly complicated with various commands unlocking cunning tricks such as feints, turns and other creative play. The slippery and often imprecise nature of the controls can take some getting used to but once you do you’ll find yourself skilfully twisting and turning around the opposition before pulling the trigger on long-distance shots on goal.
As usual, Gameloft’s distribution method means that Real Football 2010 isn’t available for download direct from the Android Market, so you’ll have to visit Gameloft’s site and then wait for an SMS message to arrive that contains the download link.
If you’re looking forward to the World Cup in South Africa then Real Football 2010 is the ideal way to get yourself even more in the mood. It’s packed with content and boasts game play that most people would pay four times as much for. (From:http://www.knowyourmobile.com/)
