X-Plane creators release ‘Giant Fighting Robots’ for the iPhone
Laminar Research is best known for their realistic flight simulator X-Plane, which has since branched off into many other simulators such as cars and trains. In their latest release, Giant Fighting Robots ($4.99), you’ll get the same level of realistic physics found in their previous X-Plane titles, but this time around you’ll get to shoot machine guns, lightning guns and gatling lasers.
A very interesting feature is the multiplayer option, Mech Warrior anyone? I haven’t tried the multiplayer yet, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for multiplayer over Internet support.
Hopefully in a future update they’ll change the name of the game, Giant Fighting Robots sounds too generic, but hey it does tell you exactly what you’re getting!

Brief Description
You will start off in the Genesis-Class ATAW (All Terrain Attach Walker), which is nothing more than a modified cargo-walker with a few modified aircraft air-to-ground guns mounted on the top. It is a pretty silly defense against the alien attack, but it is all humanity can throw together on short notice. As you defeat the alien invaders at progressively harder levels, the Human Cascade will have time to develop increasingly powerful ATAWs and weapon systems, making each of your future combat engagements more complex and violent as you move into faster moving ATAWs like the Huron, or heavier ones like the Galaxy or Titanic, and move into command of really frightening weapons systems like the Flame-Thrower, High-Capacitance Laser, Ion Cannon, or Guided Torpedo.
