Eliminate: Gun Range Game App for iPhone 4 – First Game App to Use Gyroscope Control
It’s only been a few weeks since the iPhone 4 landed on the planet but a game developer has already come up with a very impressive First-Person-Shooter game that takes advantage of the new gyroscope controls. Ngmoco Inc. has released a $0.99 shooting-game called Eliminate: Gun Range at iTunes Store (http://itunes.apple.com/app/eliminate-gunrange/id377754042?mt=8) that claims support for gyroscopic controls. If you are confused, a gyroscope is a device that measures orientation in addition to acceleration. Planes use gyroscopes to measure their flying pitch, roll, and yawn. Ngmoco’s Gun Range is not about flying by shooting targets but the same principles apply. This game offers precision handling of guns that mimics real-life action. Unfortunately, if you want to download the free Eliminate: Gun Range game app for iPhone 4 (and iPhone 3GS/3G), you’ll have to succumb to the ads running while playing the game in your iPhone or iPod Touch (yes you can play it on iTouch and iPad Tablet PC, too). The company is calling their gyroscope control system as the G-scope. You can watch a video demonstration after the sample photo of Eliminate: Gun Range iPhone 4 Game with Gyroscope Control.
