First Look: StreetBall for iPhone/iPod touch, win a free copy
Are you tired of being bored when you are on a long trip? Want to play some b-ball while you are stuck in a class? If you are inclined to do so, Streeball could help you out. A new game for the iPhone/iPod touch, Streetball [iTunes link] gives you a classic basketball game anywhere you happen to be.You can choose between three different game types: Two on two, First to 21, and H.O.R.S.E. There is a tutorial mode that allows you to grasp the basic idea of the game. The game works by using the accelerometers to move left, right, to the back, or forward; when you are ready to pass or shoot, press the appropriate on-screen buttons. While you are playing a game, you can pause it by selecting the pause button in the top-left corner.
This game has great graphics that are cartoonish/comic book-like, which I tend to prefer for these types of games. You can adjust the background volume, and the computer difficulty. Also, you can adjust the tilt sensitivity of the accelerometer -- something I wish every game developer would implement.
You can check out Streetball for $3.99US or test your luck in our giveaway ... read on for details.

I had read about this game and was wondering about it. Looks good. I would prefer to win the game, but am willing to pay for it too.

Good first-person sports games are hard to find on the iPhone thus far. Real Soccer is the best of the lot and there's a couple of other limited-action types like this one, but no one's been able to put it all together yet.
