"We are continuing to push the boundaries of social gaming to engage
all gamers and enthusiasts in innovative ways through our creative use of

success we have seen with iGolf demonstrates the demand for this kind of
entertainment for all audiences."

interface throughout the swing and releases the button at the end of the
swing to direct the bowl down the bowling lane. By twisting your wrist
while you swing the iPhone the player can create spins and control the
direction of the bowling ball. Updates to this game will be available by
October 13, 2008.
