NASA Lunar Electric Rover Simulator is a simple educational application that puts you in command of an LER with seven destinations to explore on the moon. It is advertised as a game, and technically it is, but it seems much more educational than entertaining. There are three modes of difficulty to play in: easy, medium and hard. The only objective to the game is to navigate your rover to each of seven lunar structures scattered around the map. You must travel to each structure in the assigned order, and must do so while trying to conserve power. Your rover loses power as you travel, but you gain some back with each successful stop. The radar will display your rover’s position and the destination will blink. Getting to each structure is incredibly simple, with no real obstacles to dodge along the way. You must park in the correct orientation for the mission Read More

Browsing the App Store this weekend?  Here are nine new or updated apps worth taking a closer look at if you are: Familiar to PC and Mac gamers, this is the port of the same game over to the iPhone.  Like the removed StoneLoops! of Jurassica, you must fire an orb into a snaking line, match up three colours together and they disappear.  There are power-ups, secrets and three different game modes to enjoy.  Wonder how long this one will last? An iPhone remix of the 80s Mac game Airborne.  As with the original, you must fend off paratroopers, tanks and missiles while conserving your ammunition and aiming well, in order to get a good high score. A streaming radio app which works over 3G, EDGE and Wi-Fi, and supports some 10,000 stations from all over the world.  GPS integration lets you find local stations and the visualizer has 8 different Read More

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration isn’t sending a man to the moon anytime soon in this economy/administration, instead it’s apparently focusing on iPhone game development. Their first creation, Lunar Electric Rover Simulator, allows you to drive manipulate a LER on the lunar surface to support the existence of an outpost, and it’s awfully complicated. At least it’s guaranteed to kill your kids’ spatial ambition in no time. Alright, maybe I am not cut out for the job, how frustrating! Read More

It was really only a matter of time before the National Aeronautics and Space Administration go on board the good ship iPhone. Today, NASA is giving iPhone users a chance to pilot a Lunar Electric Rover across a virtual lunar landscape. You’re probably never going to get a chance to man the controls of a true blue lunar vehicle, but the new Lunar Electric Rover Simulator for iPhone will help you train for that imaginary day when you set foot on the moon. The new NASA iPhone game puts you in control of a virtual moon car. You guide the rover through different challenge scenarios, learning facts about the moon as you go. And, since this game comes directly from the people that designed the real-life rover, you’ll get the lowdown on how NASA’s lunar vehicles actually work. There are also photo galleries to fuel your daydreams of someday walking on Read More

Each week brings a bevvy of new iPhone games to our digital doorstep, but time doesn't permit us to cover each one individually. Therefore, here's a roundup of some new and interesting titles you might want to check out: Alice in Wonderland: You can't judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a movie by its trailer--and Tim Burton's latest attempt to make Johnny Depp look weird (aka "Alice") offers little appeal to me or my kids. The eponymous tie-in game, on the other hand, is a surprisingly charming little platformer. Don't take my word: There's a free two-level lite version you can try before plunking down your $4.99. Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front: The second chapter in Gameloft's World War II-shooter saga, Global Front ($7.99) features six-player online battles, three new vehicles to pilot (when you're not on foot, that is), and five war-torn locations spanning Europe Read More

by Ever dreamed of controlling your own Lunar rover? Keep dreaming, buddy; there’s no way NASA is ever gonna let you do it (even if it sends a new rover to the moon in the near future, which it probably won’t). But you can control a simulated one with NASA’s first iPhone game: the Lunar Electric Rover Simulator. Controlling the rover is quite a simple affair, but you’ll be able to finish various challenges and learn a lot about the moon and how the lunar rover works in the process. There’s also an interactive gallery with images of the rover and the Lunar Outpost it supplies. It may have been canceled (postponed?) in real life, but they cannot cancel it in our hearts. You can get it for free in the App Store. Read More
