One of the next-generation apps demonstrated during Apple's iPad 3 introduction has just gone live on the App Store.

Namco Bandai's Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy is an iOS-exclusive 3D dogfighting sim that uses multi-touch and the gyroscopes within the iPad and iPhone to full effect, along with taking full advantage of the new iPad's Retina display.

FORGET EVERYTHING YOU'VE PLAYED! THIS IS THE ULTIMATE AIR COMBAT GAME that's taking the world by storm! Designed with the latest iOS technology and features, Air Supremacy is a never-before-seen 3D experience. With an extensive single player campaign and revolutionary multiplayer modes, the non-stop action will keep you at the edge of your seat!

Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy is available for $4.99 as a universal app on the App Store. [Direct Link]

Looks flipping sweet! Hopefully, the iPhone 4 will be able to handle this until we get our iPads tomorrow!

I did not like the demo, the gameplay looks boring.

Seeing as how this is made by Namco, I'm surprised they didn't make it into a new Ace Combat.

can't say that this look particularly fun. in the future real 3D iPad gaming will come from services like onlive.

Onlive can exist where the data connection is strong, but the device is not powerful enough to run the game. That is a narrow window, one that will close.

yeah that is the only issue. It just offers so much more than games like this. The other issue for both paths is battery life of course... and that is a big issue.

Controls are a little awkward but not too bad. Fun distraction for a few bucks.

Playing this game using the accelerometer gave me motion sickness and weird ergonomics related cramps. Would recommend not using these controls.
