Epic shows off Unreal Engine 3 on iPad/iPhone
So I’m sure most iDevice enthusiasts and Apple fans have seen John Carmack’s demonstration of his Rage engine running on an iPhone 4 during this year’s QuakeCon. Whether it was actually running at 60 fps as he claimed or not, it was quite an impressive display and gave us just a glimpse of what Apple’s little big machines are capable of. read more

Blur Review

Blur is a racing game built around the premise that racing can be more about not crashing into things. In Blur you can race around a treacherous tack and tactfully dispense of your rivals with fancy power ups, earning awards, fans and possibly a bit of notoriety amongst the online gaming community while you are at it.

Monsters (probably) Stole My Princess – Mini review
Ever since Sony announced the Minis, small downloadable games specifically targeted at the PSP Go, we’ve seen mostly uninspiring titles or games directly ported from the iPhone. Luckily things have started to change and a few very original games have been trickling though. By far the most fun I’ve had on the PSP all month is playing this little gem. read more
Japan losing motivation, Kojima says
In a recent series of tweets, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima expressed his concern over the lack of motivation from the new generation of Japanese game designers and students in Japan.
With mangas booming to be very popular lately in the west, there was a special TV program featuring Kyoto Seika University’s Manga Department. There are many foreign exchange students from Asia, Europe and the US visiting Kyoto. A professor in the Manga Department, Keiko Takemiya stated that “the foreign exchange students have a lot of motivation!”
Robot Unicorn Attack (iPhone/Flash)
I’ve come to enjoy the absolute over-the-top quirkiness of Adult Swim’s line of flash games. This one is no exception. With a name like Robot Unicorn Attack what else can you expect than a game about a robot unicorn jumping over rainbows?
It’s definitely more gay than a handbag full of rainbows. It’s also definitely one of the most gratifying flash games I’ve played in a long time. Throw in Erasure – Always as a backtrack and you’ve got an instant classic.
Also, check out the iPhone version here.

My mission seemed to be hopeless, until one fateful day I saw this, the Sharkoon X-tatic Digital 5.1 headphones. read more
