Paper Planes allows you to design and fly your own paper airplane. After choosing a basic design, you can alter the weight and the angle of the flaps, then give it a test run and see how it flies. There’s a world tour mode, where you have to complete a variety of different objectives that require you to fine-tune your plane, and a free flight mode which lets design away with no time limit or pressure. There’s also a challenge mode, which has objective just like world tour, but only lets you make three adjustments to your plane. It’s available for some operators in the UK now, and will be out in Spain and France at the end of the month. Releases in Germany and Italy are planned in April.

First Gameloft, then Artificial Life, now Namco, PopCap, and THQ have pledged their support for the iPhone. GamesOnDeck found the news, saying Namco promised to bring Pac-Man and Galaga to the touch screen, and PopCap said we’d be seeing reinvented version of Bejeweled, Zuma and Peggle. THQ didn’t announce any specific titles, but the prospect of a touch screen plus their Playboy license is making me nervous.
