Modern Combat Sandstorm (2010 Video Game)
9/10
The first real attempt at bringing a hefty FPS title to the smartphone, and they succeeded for the most part

I have good memories of playing this game on my iPod Touch back in '09 and '10. It was the first FPS game I played and completed. I thought this was very impressive for the early iPhone and though the graphics weren't superb, it always ran at a nice constant 60 frames per second with rarely any slowdown.

The music was very memorable to me in this game to and it was quite atmospheric. The hospital stage had this very relaxing and aural music playing throughout it, it's funny how a post 9/11 Afghanistan themed war game made me feel relaxed, but that was just the magic of the music and the games tone.

However, you can't download this from the App Store anymore, since this one of the earliest major iPhone titles that wasn't 2008's Crash 3D Nitro Kart or Super Monkey Ball. 2011's Dead Space iOS game was also a very atmospheric and creepy game and I was sad to see it taken down since it was one of my favourite iOS games. Apple have to learn to stop taking down these older games, because these iOS gems were absolutley worth playing, and taking this type of downloadable only game off the App Store is equivalent to wiping a game of the face of the planet. It's just not cool.
