Gaming On the Go: Summer '09 Edition

I've been suffering from a bout of blogger block (similar to writer's block but I wouldn't call this writing) lately, hence the low output since E3. As summer comes around, I tend to get real busy outside of work leaving little time to game and blog.

I've been playing a bunch of Fight Night Round 4 and I've got to say, it is one solid game. I am 9 fights into my pro career going 9-0-1 with 5 KOs. The graphics are superb, the training is varied and the Total Punch analog control is great!

Simply the Best Boxing Sim.

While away for the past weekend, I picked up a few games for my iPod Touch, Flight Control and Let's Golf! Flight control is a very simplistic but engrossing strategy game where you must land various types of planes/helicopters on their designated runways while avoiding collisions. Easier said than done when you have 13 planes on screen! My best is 161 landed, what about you??

The Best $0.99 I've Spent in a Long Time.

The other game, Let's Golf! is a straight forward, arcade golf game in the same vein as Hot Shots golf. It offers 4 courses with four different configurations each as well as three difficulty levels. Add in 4 characters and lots of unlockables to improve your game, its definitely worth your $1.99 for some on the go gaming. As a bonus you can play multiplayer and challenge your friend (local) to a round of golf.

Club Selection and Ball Placement are Key.

With a busy summer ahead, I'm thankful for portable gaming. What are your options for gaming when traveling??
