A couple of Wipeout-style games have gone live on the App Store during the past weeks.

CobraMobile has revisited its Low Grav Racer with a sequel, while Chillingo has just released Speed Forge Extreme, and now - finally - comes Future Racer.

A project from UK graduate start-up studio Assyria, we've been writing about it since January 2009, so it's great to see it finally being released.

As you'd expect, it's a tilt controlled game in which you zoom around six futuristic tracks, unlocking five increasingly more powerful vehicles as you go.

Unlike Wipeout however, Future Racer is a pure racer, so your power ups are limited to boosts and the like, not weapons.

You can see what it looks like in the following video.
