id Software's original iPhone game Doom Resurrection (App Store link) was released into the App Store earlier today.

The player's movements in the game are scripted while the aiming/shooting is controlled by the accelerometer. This video shows the game in action:
Need For Speed Undercover was released recently. Today we can download cheats via Cydia. They will allow you to unlock cars or to have lots of money.
The first will add $999.99 to our account. The second one will add $5M and release the two most powerful cars: the Porsche Carrera GT and Pagani Zonda F. To download this package (we recommend to put one and not both), you must add the following repository in Cydia (Manage > Sources > Edit > Add): iphone.org.hk/apt/
This app didn't work very well in the past. Today has been updated up to version 1.2, which adds numerous bug fixes and real-time turn tracking. It does indeed provide turn-by-turn directions (distance countdown to each turn) by way of GPS. Local points of interest (Food, Fuel, etc.) can be found, addresses can be searched, routes can be edited, detours added, and types of roads can be avoided (highways, toll roads, etc.). If a turn is missed, the route is recalculated. By having actual maps stored on the device itself, it does not require the use of an active internet connection to pull mapping data (like Google Maps).
The 800-900 MB applications each cost $19.99 and carry regional maps for the Western and Eastern halves of the United States (Europe coming soon, some time in March).
This is a second application for Skype in AppStore. The first one is called Fring and it is Free. The new application is called IM+ for Skype, released couple days ago and costs $9.99 (AppStore link).
