Our pick for this months finest.
This month was a rare occaision where we didn't have to thing for very long about which game we would be awarding the status of GOTM. September was the month we reviewed Modern Combat: Sandstorm, a game which has proven than first person shooters are not only possible on the device but one which has nailed and refined an ideal control scheme in one fell swoop...
"A virtual joystick in the bottom left controls your movement and strafing while dragging anywhere on the screen with your right thumb controls your orientation. Virtual buttons manage your shooting, reloading and weapon changes while contextual buttons take of the rest. It all feels very natural and will have you wondering why on earth iFPS, Duke Nukem 3D and all of the other shooters up until now felt like they had to implement the hideously unwieldy control schemes that they did."
Modern Combat: Sandstorm is a very easy game to recommend for a number of reasons. The graphics are sublime on the whole and the app will likely join the ranks of Real Racing and 2XL Supercross in terms of iPhone games you whip out to show your friends just how capabale the iPhone is. The presentation is also wonderful, as an example of this you’ll find that loading times are actually hidden by mission briefings (much better than waiting in a lift!). Above all else though Modern Combat: Sandstorm offers iPhone gamers the chance to do something that no other game has: Shoot terrorists in the face and feel in complete control the whole time. Finally!
