PikPok is doing it up, and is doing it up in a dual-pronged way with major updates for two of its popular games.

First up is PikPok's comic-inspired soccer sim Flick Kick Football Legend. It gets the Infinity Cup, social leaderboards, a practice mode, Player Training, refined UI, a new story and cutscenes, and more.

Also getting some update love is the movie and Netflix series tie-in Turbo FAST. Right in time for the second season of the Netflix exclusive, the game is getting both the movie and series, as well as a new track.

We had an opportunity to check out Flick Kick Football Legends last year. Both apps are free (with optional in app purchases) on the App Store.

I’m not what anyone would consider a soccer fan, but that doesn’t keep me from appreciating all of the cool stuff players can expect to find in EA’s upcoming FIFA 13. This is, of course, in addition to the expected bullet-points such as improved graphics and such.

FIFA 13 is indeed a great looking game. Player animations are incredibly smooth and their likenesses are captured eerily well considering this is an iOS game. Although they do have that creepy blank look that so many real world based character models tend to have. A bunch of smaller details will no doubt cause salivary glands to work overtime as well, including balls sporting the proper logos and all the tiny graphics typically found on a player’s jersey. And all of these fine details can be enjoyed up close and personal thanks to the game’s instant replay feature.

It doesn’t stop with tie visuals though. For the first time ever EA Sports Football Club will make its way into an iOS title. Even better, preexisting accounts will be carried over, so nobody will have to start from scratch on their iOS device. Of course my personal favorite addition is the way special skill shots and moves can be controlled via a second virtual stick on the right-hand side of the screen. Simply tap and drag in a given pattern or direction and the controlled player will start with the fancy footwork.

No information is available yet on pricing, but football (football, football) enthusiasts can expect to find FIFA 13 in the App Store sometime this fall.
