Flight Control, iPhone, iTunes App Store

Is it Friday already, dear reader? I don’t know about you, but it seemed to fly by for us in the Mg office. Last week, we reviewed a number of games for the puzzle addicts of the world. This week, we’re going to forgo our regularly scheduled format and plug you into one single game that you must own now, this very instant.

The game is called Flight Control, and it’s everything a great pick-me-up casual game should be. It’s got a soundtrack that doesn’t suck, an easy to use interface, and a variety of in-flight disasters just waiting to be averted.

Flight Control is a strategy game that puts you in control of a airport tower. Unlike what we imagine the job of a real flight coordinator, however, the players task is as simple as tracing each plane’s (or helicopter’s) path to the appropriate runway. The task sounds very easy, and the first 10 or so landings are easy. After that, the airways are littered with planes all trying to wreck up your high score.

The game was released last week, and is currently for sale for a whopping 99 cents. A recent update allows fans of Twitter to tweet their high score, as well as uploading your score to an online leaderboard. If you only pick up one iPhone game this month, make sure it’s Flight Control.

We’ll see you on the tarmac!
