Blast TIE Fighters In Star Wars Augmented Reality iPhone Game
The new iPhone game Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner combines some of the most iconic Star Wars gameplay (gunning down TIE Fighters) with the iPhone camera technology to create a very unique and cool augemented reality experience. Basically, the game superimposes waves of TIE Fighters over whatever your camera is looking at. As evidenced in the video below, which shows the game being played over the New York City skyline, it's a pretty cool effect. If you're more a traditionalist, you can also select rendered graphics for your space gunning action, as the game features popular Star Wars settings like the Death Star and Hoth.
Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner is developed by Vertigore Games and published by THQ Wireless.
