Upcoming Games

Preview Trailer of Days of Thunder from Freeverse and Paramount

Freeverse sent on these screenshots and a new teaser video for their upcoming game Days of Thunder. We took a look at this new title at Macworld San Francisco where they were demoing it.

Based on the 1990 film of the same name, Freeverse is developing Days of Thunder for Paramount and tells me that the iPhone game brings the film’s storyline along with the action. The accelerometer controlled game features a variety of cars to choose from and both Circut and Track racing modes.

While there’s no shortage of racers on the iPhone, this one looks a bit more “fun" than many of the existing ones. Complete with crashes:

The teaser video gives you a taste of the action.

Blake had some hands on (YouTube) time with the game in January. The game should be available this week according to what we’ve heard. So stay tuned.

    Sounds like a must-buy... but a "Classic" edition with the 10 minutes stocking up your wagon with supplies would be killer too.

    I have been waiting for this for so long! This better drop on Friday... I'll go crazy waiting all weekend for it

    All I gotta say.. is this iPhone version of Oregon Trail better include the original as well.. so I can choose to play the version I want, and also will satisfy all the nay sayers.

    What, is Number Munchers next?

    Not a chance in hell that I'll be buying this. Come out with the original version (including original graphics!) and I'd gladly pay twice that.

    Why does everyone want the crappy original graphics? Its not like they add anything to the gameplay, if anything they take away...plus they are not suited for the devices at all, imagine trying to squint and read that tiny text. This is 2009....not 1989...updates graphics look amazing!

    Oh my gosh Daniel, I would kill for a Word Munchers (or Number Munchers) game! Those were my childhood. Someone, make this happen!

    I'm a Gen X'er! I can't wait for this game either!! Looks totally fun

  13. Scott

    I want both games in one! It will solve this dilema... choose between the original and the new... I don't understand why it's so hard! C'mon Gameloft.. seems obvious dosn't it!

    I am def getting it. Loved the original and this looks even better. Even if its not the original then I'm still excited for the game, looks amazing.

    Well, it's now March 6th and no sight of Oregon Trail in the app store! I'm slightly disappointed.

    Me too! Where is Oregon Trail and why is it taking them so long to kick out a game that was pretty much done?
