Gentlemen, start your engines: NASCAR Redline races its way into the App Store

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated January 23, 2018

I've never been a big fan of NASCAR but I do remember spending a big chunk of my pocket money on the arcade game Daytona USA. I specifically recall races starting with the iconic "gentlemen, start your engines" announcement.

Fastforward to today, and I'm still not a big NASCAR fan, but I can certainly appreciate some of the strategies that go into the races. The right set of brakes, tires, or suspension can actually make or break a race.

NASCAR: Redline is the first officially licensed NASCAR game to make its way in the App Store. Although you won't be in the driver seat, your role will be to ensure that every decision made is the right one in order to take your team to the victory...

Nah, it's got to be going Airborne, says the clever blurb for Gameloft's highly-anticipated eighth installment in the Asphalt mobile racing franchise. We previewed the game back in June and although it got delayed a bit as the team needed more time to perfect the little things, it's out now and available now for your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad for just 99 cents a pop. I've included action-packed screenies, additional info and a launch trailer so jump past the fold for more awesomeness...

New Real Racing 3 update brings classic American muscle cars

Christian Zibreg ∙ August 21, 2013

One of the key reasons I used to burn midnight oil quite a lot playing Driver on the original PlayStation - apart from the locations (Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York) and the awesome controls coupled to realistic physics - is the vehicle lineup, the sort of cars you see smashed in the 1960-1970s car chase and cop movies.

To fans of such legendary cars as the Dodge, Shelby and other big V8 muscle cars: Electronic Arts's latest content update to free-to-play Real Racing 3 is a no-brainer.

That's right, you can now own classic Detroit metal in this Real Racing 3 update, as well as race friends on a bunch of new tracks, appreciate physics enhancements, better camera angles and lots more...
