Anyway, here are 5 brief iPhone game reviews in 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>N.O.V.A. 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance 2 (or N.O.V.A. 2) is a first-person sci-fi shooter for the iPhone. Now don\u2019t be hesitant to try an FPS on a touch screen, as NOVA 2 has an incredibly intuitive control system, which allows players to look, shoot and move with ease. In the same vain as Halo, NOVA 2 features big aliens, awesome guns and incredibly impressive visuals for a mobile game. Featuring full missions and multiplayer, it\u2019s definitely worth checking out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48228\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/mzl.csewisff.320x480-75.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48228\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48228\" title=\"NOVA 2\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/mzl.csewisff.320x480-75.jpg\" alt=\"NOVA 2\" width=\"480\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/mzl.csewisff.320x480-75.jpg 480w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/mzl.csewisff.320x480-75-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/mzl.csewisff.320x480-75-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-48228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">NOVA 2<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Street Fighter IV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the best-realised games which take full advantage of the iPhone\u2019s capabilities has to be Street Fighter IV.
