Earning an additional buck or two on the existing franchise is always a good business. Paramount knows that, hence they’ve partnered with Freeverse to bring the mobile game based on their once popular movie, Days of Thunder, to the Apple iPhone.
The good thing about this title is that it’s quite affordable, costing only a buck (for the opening weekend, at least). That, however, doesn’t mean it sucks. Quite the contrary or at least I may not be an expert for racing games. From what I can tell, Days of Thunder looks quite decent, allowing you to control the car by moving your iPhone/iPod Touch around, thanks to the built-in accelerometer.
There are 14 race cars to win/buy and 39 races, covering 12 unique tracks in six different circuits: Amateur, Qualifying, Semi-Pro, Pro, Superstar, and Endurance. As you progress through the Story Mode and earn achievements, you can unlock new tracks. In addition, five original music tracks are there to “enhance the action-packed gameplay.”
Wanna try it? Here’s a link to the AppStore with more screenshots.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
