3. Need For Speed Shift
Created by: EA
Description: EA's newest racing edition to the App Store seems to be a flop. The game features 20 cars and up to 6 multiplayer worldwide through Wi-Fi or locally through Bluetooth. The sloppy graphics seem to suggest that the game was rushed to its released unlike NFS Undercover, which took much longer to come out but was a much better product.
