Street Phoner

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to finally become part of the fad that is "iPhone". I know I was really late to the party but after familiarizing myself with this new age apple lifestyle I started to get really into the game apps as I finally now understood the hype behind classics like Angry Birds.

Despite the fact that I am confessing my fandom, when it comes to todays gaming world I have difficulty adjusting. As a kid I was a hardcore fan of all the classics and like most things you loved all your life, I find it hard getting accustomed to the remakes and the newbies. Call of Duty: Black Ops just doesn't cut it against Nintendo 64's Goldeneye, and don't even get me started on how terrible Marvel VS Capcom was in comparison to standards like Mortal Kombat.

Despite this, I came across an App recently that's been adapted from the newest version of Street Fighter to be released on Xbox and Ps3 and it does an unbelievable job of reducing boredom. The most noticeable difference between the iPhone version and the Xbox version is the game play and controls. I wasn't a big fan of the Xbox version because the controls were way too hard and button mashing gets a bit old when there's no cool maneuvers happening in the meantime. The iPhone App however has a fun, simple system that makes it easy to hit wicked combos and specials whilst giving you a challenging computer opponent. You can also compete against friends or randoms online or whatever it is that hooks up iPhones, which is wicked fun.

All in all, Street Fighter IV Volt is well worth the crazy small amount of 0.99. For those of you who miss the glory days of Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Nintendo's, this one will get you where you want to go.
