iPhone gaming giant Ngmoco is serious when it comes to the Apple iPad. The company plans to release a total of 6 titles right away at launch. The games that will be released are: GodFinger, We Rule, Flick Fishing, NBA Hotshot, CastleCraft and WarpGate. Those of you who follow the mobile gaming news carefully probably noticed that 4 out of 6 titles are Freeverse games — Ngmoco acquired Freeverse at the end of February, FYI. Ngmoco said it plans to bring the fremium model to Apple’s mobile platform, allowing some things to be free, whereas some others will be sold. We’ve no doubts Ngmoco knows what it’s doing. The question is not whether iPad will be as nearly as successful as the iPhone (the answer to that is “no”), the question is – whether Apple will be able to move enough units to reach the tipping point that will engage the Read More

Mar 20th 2010 at 8:00AM And, who in the world is going to be flicking their iPad? I hope Warpgate is not a freemium title. I so want this one to be released. It's been so long in development that I'm beginning to fear it's become vaporware. Warpgate is one word... Not two! :-) NewToy (Chess with Friends/Words with Friends) actually developed We Rule, it's just published by NgMoco. I assume all of these titles will be free to download, with premium upgrade options once you're in the game. It seems the best way (and the smartest) to get people to download your game. We Rule currently has ads in-game, so I would love to see a $2.99 version with those ads removed. FFS stop putting suffix '~craft' after any MMO type game, it's amateurish in the extreme... I hope Ngmoco revisits this decision and builds an app worthy of it's Read More

Freeverse already has one massive arcade hit on their hands with their best selling paid iPhone app, Skee-Ball, and now they are looking to add another to that list with NBA Hotshot. NBA Hotshot is an officially licensed arcade basketball shooting game for the iPhone and iPod touch.  It features a Classic game mode where you will be racing against the clock to score as many baskets as possible, and a new Three Strikes mode where you must be as precise as possible with each of your shots because if you miss three, the game is over.  Each shot you make fills up your prize meter, which allows you to obtain virtual prizes, like team logo-ed balls, that can be used in the game. NBA Hotshot also utilizes Plus+ for achievements and online leader boards, so you can compare your scores with friends.  To take it one step further, NBA Hotshot Read More
