Jet Car Stunts looks awesome, like Stunt Car Racer meets F-Zero GX and Trackmania. I'll be having some o' that next time I get some iTunes credit.

It's been made by an Australian company... I remember Foozwah mentioning he was working on an iPhone game awhile back, but he didn't say which game/company.... it's not this one by any chance is it Foozwah (if you ever happen to read this)?

Well, I was one of the people that worked on Jet Car Stunts and unless the other person is Foozwah (you never know with online names) I don't think he did

* pimp mode on

Anyway, a chance to pimp the game. This game shows what the iPhone is capable of doing and to boot it's one hell of a fun game. We are getting very good reviews, so anybody here should give it a whirl

Okay no, it's like Trackmania meets those oldschool levels from Mario Sunshine. You know the insanely hard abstract ones made up of coloured blocks floating in space which you just keep having to have one more go of.

Cor that MyWi app for internet tethering is a cracking bit of kit, been using it all day with 2 lappys and just so stable / quick. Love the fact it auto backgrounds so you can carry on using your iPhone for calls, email etc and gives a running total too. Absolutely essential in my opinion for JB iPhones.

Just gave this a try based on your recomendation and have to say I'm well impressed. The wifi hotspot functionality is great and the latest version also unlocks 'proper' USB and bluetooth tethering.

However...I'm gonna hold my hand up here and admit to having downloaded a cracked copy as I really don't like the idea of paying for stuff that's at the mercy of my device being jailbroken. I'm also not impressed with the developers using their own mobilesubstrate and store app. More cruft on my device I can do without, why not use Cydia like everyone else?

This is a very good point.

I've not bought a couple of things I want to as they require my phone jailbroken and I haven't looked into the latest firmware hacks yet as I can't risk losing my unlock. And whilst none are expensive they aren't the throw away 59p/£1.19 range either.

My latest game just hit the store. Yak might laugh to himself based on one of his blog posts recently about geometry war type effects in games

Introducing Bear Paw a simple and challenging, and beautiful game. Watch the gravity and stunning particle effects light up the iPhones screen as stars and comets collide.

The game is an intriguing game based on a barnes-hut gravity simulation of stars. The goal of the game is to place your space ship on the screen and set it off on a path avoiding the stars and collecting the comets. With every comet you collect a score multiplier is applied to increase the rate at which your score increases. Do you go for the comets or play it safe and avoid the stars... The dilemma is yours.

Placing your space ship is easy, simply tap and pull back like a pinball machine to send it flying through space.

The teaser trailer:

Enjoy and have fun

Looking forward to seeing your high scores!

Ummm...not wanting to seem overly critical, buuuuut what's the point of a 45sec trailer that only shows 10secs of actual gameplay that completely fails to demonstrate the gameplay? It's pretty I've got no idea what's going on there at all...

[Deckard]

It sure looks purrrrdy....and I am sucker for particle effects.

Yeah, agreed that was a teaser, need to sort out a proper video now.

If you fancy some highly polished old school dogfighting action then grab it now - it's great fun.

Well I have this quote from a twitter follower who bought it before flying back from America:

Richard would like eveyone to know @pocketfun robbed me of 6hrs sleep on the flight with the best game ever http://bit.ly/DtGaI

Name changed to protect the innocent

It's a relaxing gravity based puzzler which just happens to have a very nice particle engine moulded into the simulator. You simply place your ship on the screen, pull back to set the direction and speed and watch the particles fly as the stars and comets interact. Started off as an experiment as to how many particles I could throw onto the screen and grew from there. At full tilt it can generate some beautiful effects as well as providing a challenging game trying to work out the best route through the stars.
