iPhone title Football U now free on App Store

Longtail Studios has announced that its iPhone/iPod Touch title, a 3D football game called Football U, is now available for free on the App Store. 

Hey, what’s this? A sports story not written by our resident sports guy, Samit Sarkar? Well, here’s the deal — Football U isn’t your typical sports game. Longtail hooked me up with a copy a few weeks ago, and I was skeptical at first — I don’t really like football games. Or football. 

But Football U surprised me with its off-the-wall story, and straightforward (and relatively fun) passing mechanic that requires zero sports knowledge. Which is good, because I have none. Also, did I mention that it’s now free? What do you have to lose?
