MMGN: "Flight Control gives you one of the toughest jobs on the planet as an air traffic controller. Already available on the iPhone, Flight Control is a challenging title that has you plotting pathways for incoming and outgoing aircraft."

Some games are ingrained in our memories due in large part to their music. Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and more. They are important of course, but every now and then a game tune can be so catchy and memorable - despite the game itself not being elevated to a kind of legendary status in our minds. This list has a few of those types of titles this time around.
Have you ever been sitting in an airport waiting for your flight but it just keeps getting delayed time and time again? Surely you could do better at being an air traffic controler and get all the flights in on time without delays and more importantly without the airplanes crashing. Well, Namco Bandai games has come to the rescue with a fun little air traffic controller skill game called Flight Control. Now you can forgo years of schooling and dive headfirst into the prospect of directing where planes should land all while avoiding deadly crashes.
Part of iOS’s legacy is that it helped launch a number of new genres tailor-made for the device’s touchscreen. In addition to tower defense and physics puzzlers, one of the most popular emerging genres is line-drawing games, where you trace a path on the screen with your finger to lead your characters to their goals. Today’s featured series, Flight Control, was the first to popularize this genre, and made a household name out of Australian developer Firemint.
