NASA debuts two new educational games for iOS, Facebook

NASA is no stranger to apps , but the space agency is branching out further into some new territory with its two latest offerings: a pair of educational games. The first is Sector 33 , an air traffic control simulator for iOS devices that certainly won’t be confused with Flight Control , but which NASA hopes will help teach math and possibly get folks interested in aviation. Those who prefer their games a bit more casual can also now try out NASA’s very first multiplayer Facebook game, Space Race Blast Off , which tests folks’ knowledge of various space-related topics (and is considerably more challenging than it first appears).

Steam mobile beta now open to all, still of questionable utility

If you were dismayed to find yourself waiting in the queue for a beta invite after downloading the mobile Steam client the other day, fret no more — the trial is now open to all who desire entry. Of course, it’s still really just a companion to the desktop shop and not a must-have mobile gaming market

Angry Birds Outdoor Game Announced

Finally Angry Birds fans can go outside and get some exercise, yet still play Angry Birds with the just announced officially licensed Angry Birds Outdoor Game . Coming this Spring to the UK (sorry US of A, no info on an American release yet), the game is similar to bowling and shuffleboard with players physically throwing Angry Birds at little buildings they make and getting points based on where the pig lands on the mat when it’s knocked off the blocks. Check out the video demo: It all comes in a handy carrying bag

GTA III for Android hits 1.3, brings Liberty City to the Transformer Prime

Select iOS and Android devices have had the ability to terrorize Liberty City while on-the-go since December , but sadly those with Transformer Primes thus far have been left out of all that fun. Luckily, an update to the game ends that double standard, enabling Rockstar’s classic to run on ASUS’ tablet and Medion Lifetabs everywhere

Rollin’ Justin learns to throw like a robot

Our pal Rollin’ Justin proved the old adage about teaching old robots new robo tricks wrong back in April , when he learned to catch balls by tracking moving objects, calculating their flight paths and then snapping shut his cold metal claws at the moment of impact.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy box points to first paid DLC for Nintendo 3DS

3DS owners have been waiting (and waiting ) for a chance to take advantage of a downloadable content market, and while Nintendo already accomplished the tough part (read: launching it ) a few days back, there’s still been no word on when paid content would make an appearance. Pushing those freebies aside is Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, which is seemingly destined to be the first 3DS title in existence to offer up enhancements in exchange for a few yen. The box here is actually an “early retail dummy unit,” though the verbiage on the back makes quite clear that downloadable material will be available at a cost
