Bumpoid is a fully 3D game from an up in coming indie dev, so I was certainly hoping for the best. Unfortunately, I’m just not feeling it.

Mystique held little mystery for me in it’s first incarnation. Needs smoother graphics and more gameplay. Not for me but you might like it if you enjoy ‘locked in a room’ style puzzles.

TowerMadness boasts a lot of features and 3D graphics, but does nothing to distinguish itself. Graphics are surprisingly rough, and ultimately the game is fun but forgettable.

Snakes on a 3D Plane. A beautiful but vapid diversion, which drags the old-skool cellphone game slithering and sliding into the 21st century.

Think of UpNext as a mash-up between a 3D version of Google Maps and Yelp, but it’s only for NYC. Darn! It also displays subway routes, lets you bookmark locations, and more. If you’re going to be in New York, this is definitely a utility worth looking at.

Caster has great potential as a magical 3D shooter. Its innovative control scheme excels in all fields…except when it comes to aiming, which is a major flaw that ultimately cripples the experience. Future updates could make this a surefire hit, but as it stands, Caster frustrated me with its brevity and difficulty of targeting enemies.

Riding the fall of the stock market? Eh? AirCoaster 3D is a roller coaster simulator with a built-in track editor and an online database for community uploads. Besides the thrill of riding a fake coaster, you can also get some bitter laughs out of riding a track based on the Dow Jones index.

Paper Pilot is a racing game for the iPhone. You navigate a paper airplane through eight courses, from the inside of an office building to a sewer, attempting to set the fastest time. Environments look great and the controls aren’t bad, but the overall action is repetitive and ultimately unsatisfying.

Freeverse Announce Flick Fishing

Freeverse today announced Flick Fishing for the iPhone. A lush 3D fishing game that utilizes the accelerometer in the iPhone and iPod Touch to act as a virtual fishing rod.

While there are already a few fishing games in the app store (iTunes Link), this fishing games utilizes rendered 3D graphics to a greater extent than we’ve seen thus far.

Here’s a video from Freeverse showing a beta build of the game:

The game will hopefully be out the first week of November. We like what we see and look forward to getting our hands on it and throwing out a line to two. Keep an eye on our new apps page, feed or twitter stream for release info.

Raging Thunder, the current cream of the crop for racing games on the iPhone really shines!

Moto Chaser is a great 3D racer, one of the best

Earthscape is a fantastic 3D globe simulation app with extra user generated content features

De Blob is a good game cursed by bad interface design and an obvious port.
