STP: Namco Bandai’s ambitious World War I flight simulator is a remarkably hard bird to pin down. It looks terrific, with gorgeous 3D graphics, sweeping landscapes, and detailed plane models. The game uses the A5 dual-core chipset for added visual effects and smoother gameplay. It even supports some keen new iOS 5 features like Airplay support through your iPad 2 and saving to the cloud.
On the iPhone or iPad, precise tilt controls make it a perfect device for steering a car in Need for Speed or Real Racing. It’s even more thrilling when you take your virtual controls into the air. Although there have been a number of great flying games, the most successful flight combat series on iOS is easily Sky Gamblers, since each of these great games has earned a Must Have rating from our reviewers.
