Kotaku is reporting that after the end of March, the augmented reality shooter Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner [$2.99] will be pulled from the App Store. We took a look at this title when it was announced in early November, with its release coming just a couple of weeks later. The game allows you to point the camera of your iOS device towards anything to serve as the backdrop for an intense shootout with Imperial ships as you man the gunner turret on the Millennium Falcon. The game is published by THQ Wireless, but was developed by a small studio called Vertigore. Josh Shabtai, Falcon Gunner’s creative director and head of Vertigore, recently wrote in a blog post that due to THQ’s deal with the owners of everything Star Wars Lucasfilm coming to an end, THQ will not be able to allow Star Wars: Falcon Gunner to be sold in the Read More

Star Wars games are abundant, and that's an understatement. That said, they are also very popular on iOS devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. Developers like THQ Wireless seem to have the license on Star Wars games for iOS, as most games that carry the Star Wars name are THQ's work. Ngmoco, Inc. did develop Imperial Academy, however, which also happens to be free (Nice!).  Have a look at some Star Wars games for iOS that are worth checking out:   1) Star Wars: Imperial Academy The game's description says "Darth Vader wants you for his Imperial Academy" and puts you in four player death matches against other storm troopers. Interesting that the empire would put anyone through this kind of competition before joining the academy. Anyone who watched the Star Wars movies knows that Storm Troopers can't aim worth a damn. Free  2) Star Wars: Lightsaber Duel Read More

Do you need a weapon that's not as clumsy or random as a blaster, or perhaps, an elegant weapon from a more civilized age? Soon, there will be an app for that. THQ Wireless, the maker of several Star Wars-themed iPhone apps including The Force Unleashed and Star Wars: Trench Run, will release a new app called Lightsaber Duel early in April. Overall, the app sounds similar to another app called Lightsaber Unleashed, which allows you to swing your iPhone around and make " " noises come out of the speaker. Lightsaber Duel will expand on that idea. Rather than merely going all Star Wars Kid with your iPhone, you'll actually be able to engage in duels with your fellow wannabe Jedi or Sith via a Bluetooth connection with their iPhone. You'll also be able to play music during the duel. However, we're not yet sure if that means only music Read More

It's time to head off to the nearest Coinstar machine to turn the treasures lost to your couch cushions in to iTunes credit, as this week has some sales you likely won't want to miss. As usual, all of these prices are current as of this posting and because of the nature of App Store price fluctuations it's usually not a good idea to wait very long if any of these games interest you. The star of the show this week is Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, a game that we not only loved in our review but also awarded 5 stars in our January "Best iPhone Games" round up. For a limited time to celebrate the Chinese new year, Chinatown Wars will be available for $6.99, down from its original $9.99.

February 11th, 2010 James Isabel Seeing this game released about 1.5 years ago, this pricedrop was bound to happen eventually. THQ Wireless created an ambitious iPhone version of their best selling console game Star Wars The Force Unleashed, and today, you can get it for just $0.99! You are Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, trained by the menacing Sith Lord to hunt down the last of the Jedi. Unleash a barrage of Force Powers at the flick of your fingers tap, touch, and swipe your way through enemies! The game has received both good and bad reviews because of THQ’s decision to make the control fully touch/swipe/flick controlled instead of applying a move + shoot/attack method we see Gameloft use often. Thankfully, there is a FREE version you can try and then decide from there if your ever so valuable DOLLAR will be put to good use. Don’t know how long the Read More
