iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gamers craving something a little more intense than Angry Birds might consider downloading METALSTORM: ONLINE, a free aerial combat simulation that allows you to play online (Wi-Fi or 3G) against other players in real-time battles. You'll select an aircraft and weapon loadout before tilting your Apple device left and right to maneuver the fighter jet (and tapping to shoot missiles at enemy aircraft). MetalStorm: Online is a looker, as it features attractive 3-D graphics, fiery explosions, and realistic-looking mountains below you. Gamers can play against one another, engage in a cooperative mode, or play against the computer. The "freemium" title is free to play, but you'll likely want to buy virtual coins to spend at the in-game store for more goodies, such as better aircraft, weapons, and more. You'll also get credits for free by performing well, which can also be used as currency. Gamers in search of a modern aerial combat sim to play on their favorite iOS device should climb into the cockpit of the free MetalStorm: Online.
