EA Reveals Details And Screenshots For Summer/Fall iPhone And iPad Game Lineup

We've already told you about EA's upcoming port of the popular side-scrolling shoot 'em up, R-Type, and the just-released (New Zealand only at this point) strategy game, Risk, but that's really only the beginning of what the company intends to offer iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad gamers over the next couple of months.  During EA's Hot for Holidays event in New York, the company revealed a handful of new titles for our favorite platform, which means we have some juicy details and screenshots to share.  Are you ready? MADDEN NFL 11 This year's Madden is all about putting you in complete control.  Madden NFL 11 will include a new feature called "Total Defensive Control," which will allow you to create hot routes and change plays on the fly on defense.  The offensive side of the ball isn't getting left out either, as you will be able to draw hot routes everywhere on the field pre-snap, basically allowing you to create your own plays.  That's all in addition to the usual updated graphics and rosters. Madden NFL 11 will be available for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad simultaneously sometime this fall. Reckless Racing Reckless Racing is a top-down racer with state of the art graphics and intense multiplayer action.  You will be able to control your vehicle via on-screen buttons in order to skid, slip, and slide through all kinds of detailed tracks.  And for once, EA has decided to include online multiplayer, online leaderboards, and the ability to trade ghost racers with others all over the world. Reckless Racing will be available for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad sometime this summer. SimCity Deluxe Basically a beautified and hopefully bug-free version of SimCity.  You will be able to build and manage your city with what EA is calling "easier controls."  It will also include improved visuals, starter cities, and new scenarios.  Sadly, no iPad version is in the works, because that would easily solve the control problems. SimCity Deluxe will be available for iPhone and iPod touch sometime this summer. The Sims 3 Ambitions Another standalone version of the popular Sims 3 franchise, but now you can pursue your Sims’ passions and turn them into fulfilling professions.  In the Sims 3 Ambitions, you decide whether your Sim will be the brave town hero or cause loads of mischief among their neighbors. The Sims 3 Ambitions will be available for iPhone and iPod touch sometime this summer. YAHTZEE The family-friendly game that needs no introduction is coming to the iPad! Yahtzee will feature bigger and brighter graphics designed specifically for the iPad, along with easier and more intuitive controls.  It will include four modes of play, including an iPad exclusive "Duplicate Rainbow Mode."  You will also be able to post scores and issue challenges with friends and family via Facebook Connect. Yahtzee will be available for the iPad sometime this summer. [gallery link="file" columns="4"]
