Dr. Awesome is Awesome: Perform surgery on your iPhone contact list

Dr. Awesome iPhone Review from Kevin Rose on Vimeo.

With adorable graphics and decent music, Dr. Awesome IS awesome. If you’re a fan of Trauma Center for the Wii and the DS …. Dr. Awesome is nothing like it! You play what I think is a white blood cell trying to isolate the evil bacteria by cutting them off from the rest of your patient’s inner essentials. Kevin’s review looks quite immersive. It’s one of those easy to learn, hard to master type of games.

Online Gaming in Mobile Phones

October 15, 2008 by Jayvee Fernandez  
Filed under Games

It’s nothing new. Video games on mobile phones go hand in hand nowadays. Nokia milked this market with the N-Gage system, and there are now new efforts to doing more on your mobile phone in terms of gaming. MMO’s (massive multiplayer online gaming) in phones shouldn’t be too far in the drawing board.

World of Warcraft

Crafting massive online games for phones takes into account the engagement level of players. Right now, it would be a little iffy to create a full immersive experience for online games on phones because the fact that phones are put down in the house and picked up when one leaves makes engaging gaming … iffy. There are breakthroughs — checking the status of your World of Warcraft character on your phone is a little like showing off trading cards to friends.

Oh god, Diner Dash for the iPhone. /quit life

Diner Dash

Diner Dash needs no introduction. But we’re going to introduce it anyway since that’s how the cliche works.

Diner Dash has been a No. 1 hit across major online game portals, mobile and retail, as well as a popular handheld title, since its debut in late 2004. The original game, developed by the award-winning independent studio Gamelab, is now a multi-million dollar brand, spanning multiple sequels and brand extension spin-offs based on the DinerTown(TM) story world. The iPhone version, finalized with the assistance of development partner Other Ocean Interactive, utilizes PlayFirst’s Playground SDK, which allows PlayFirst to easily port their catalog to multiple platforms. [PR]

It’s here! Diner Dash, and now for the iPhone. What does this mean? Well, the thesis of the iPhone as a gaming platform has so far been proven right. This version of Diner Dash was developed by Play First. The game, like all applications is available through the iTunes Store for $9.99.

Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain by Gameloft (I kid you not!)

Oh yeah! Chuck Norris forever!Chuck Norris Bring on the Pain

Heads up! I heard Chuck Norris is coming this way!, screams the rebels as you play as Chuck Norris. Gameloft had mentioned that Chuck Norris was in a “weakened state” as he traveled around the world and got into an accident. So not like Chuck Norris, but fine, we’ll play along. But if Chuck Norris hears about this ….

Chuck Norris!More Chuck Norris!

Chuck Norris: Bring on the Pain is out NOW by Gameloft. It plays a side-scrolling hack and slash and shoot and gun Chuck Norris as he goes around the world cleaning up the bad guys and sending them into “Retirement +10.”

Chuck Norris is coming to your mobileChuck Norris!!!!

I first thought this game was fake — since no one is bad ass enough to play as Chuck Norris. But no, Gameloft is indeed releasing this epic title this month! And PROPS to Gameloft for successfully taking this cult into the next level. The dialogue is absolutely hilarious and the premise for Chuck Norris to be able to punch through buildings and burn down forests while defeating Communism is ….. well…. expected of Chuck Norris.

More screencaps here!

Garfield 2 Mobile: Not quite Final Fantasy

August 19, 2008 by Jayvee Fernandez

Garfield 2

Here’s something cute, but not quite Final Fantasy. Garfield 2 is available on your mobile phone via Java. Officially called Garfield 2: Royal Adventure, the game follows the story of the second Garfield movie as he makes his way through castle corridors and scares off enemies in turn-based “boo battles.”

Since this title is child friendly, no actual killing occurs in the turn based strategy fight scenes that mimic much of Final Fantasy.

The game shows players what’s happening between the scenes that they see in the movie. They will see Garfield fending off Dargis’ cohorts in numerous “boo-battles” (non-violent encounters) where the goal is to scare off enemies.

Garfield 2 is available for $2.49 and can be downloaded here.

Karaoke on your mobile phone idea

When i was a lot younger, I had a teacher who always carried a tape deck with minus one songs at the back of his car. He was a good singer and he would tell me that the deck would be a “precaution” just in case people would ask him to sing at parties. Apparently he got these requests often, which led him to take on this peculiar set up.

While I was in Indonesia last week, our guide had a Nokia E90 with him. It was preinstalled with several hits from the 70’s, but all in minus one format. This was his portable karaoke in case he would be asked to sing.

Ah, technology.

Nokia N-Gage relaunched: From hardware to service

ngage_history.jpg

Perhaps one of the most surprising and enlightening announcements today from the Go Play event was the rebranding of the Nokia N-Gage from a hardware product to a service. The once hardware-centric brand is now a software and service that will be available throughout the Nokia phone platform. What this means is that anyone will be able to experience gaming across the board on all Nokia phones via download from the PC or over the air (OTA) direct download to almost any Nokia phone.

Your iPhone is a “Mac mini”

July 10, 2007 by Jayvee Fernandez  
Filed under Games, The Unwired Life, iPhone

An application called Telekenesis allows you to use the iPhone as a remote conduit for performing such tasks as streaming video, using iTunes … and playing WoW.

Holy cow, the iPhone can handle World of Warcraft!

These are the current features of the developer release. The application was developed by Google:

* Stream music and videos from your computer
* Screen capture with mouse click and basic typing support
* Simple iTunes Remote control
* Browse your files
* Run applescript remotely
* iSight image capture
* Easily create and add more apps

What other possibilities can be unleashed with this sort of technology?
