Stu was lucky enough to get his weathered hands on Namco’s iPhone conversion of its coin-op sensation Alpine Racer the other day, before the rest of us had even managed to set eyes on the screenshots.

The game is a fully 3D skiing and snowboarding adventure, very much in an SSX style of gameplay. It’s already well into Apple’s increasingly lengthy submissions process, and Namco tells us it expects Alpine Racer to appear in the App Store as early as this Friday (the 27th February).

In the meantime, cast a critical eye over these hot powder screenshots, check out our exclusive preview then shuffle toward the edge of your ski lift seat.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
