Grand Theft Auto: China Town Wars is coming to the iPhone.
Excited?
It first came out for the DS and it will be out for the PSP in late October. Now, it’s been announced that China Town Wars will be coming to the iPhone and iPod Touch this fall.
That’s exciting, right?
Now, you don’t have to wait until you get home to slap some hoes and steal some cars.
CNET points out an interesting contradiction in Apple’s App store policies since in the past, Apps have been rejected due to curse words and other “lewd” content. However, Krapps reported on a disturbing App …read more

Dragon Quest’s Slime is like an entity on its own. It can change into any color or any shape or any function, that is if it wants to. For instance, the Dragon Quest Slime Speaker Stand by Hori can act as a speaker and a stand for your Nintendo DS. It can keep your DS upright and free your hands to do other stuff.

The Slime is also an external speaker to boost the sound from your video games to another level. Honestly, some think that this blue thingy is cuter than their boyfriends.
US$58.90 @ NCSX.

A Nintendo DS glucose reader for kids that can be plugged into the DS or DS Lite’s Slot-2 has came been out on the market. Paul Wessel, the parent of a diabetic child, has helped to develop the Bayer’s DIDGET meter which can reward children for consistent testing.

Test results can be converted into reward points which can be used in the game to unlock levels and purchase in-game stuff. The games are Knock ‘Em Down: World’s Fair video game and Mini Game Arcade.
A pretty useful DS device to help the kids but not for the DSi though.

I’m super bummed that this isn’t coming to the PS3. That’s right. I was a HUGE fan of Kingdom Hearts when it first came out on the PS2 and I’ve been patiently waiting for it’s return to Sony but alas, it appears that isn’t going to happen.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is slotted to hit the DS in the US in late September of this year and since I really don’t have any plans of getting a DS, I suppose I’m stuck watching trailers.
It is a rather good trailer though.

The economic storm, financial crisis or bad money outlook. Whatever name it takes, there are losses and job cuts everywhere, including the video games industry. Microsoft and Sony have slashed their manpower but the big N reports record profit.
Nintendo made 279.1bn yen for the financial year ending 31st March this year and was optimistic about the video games industry as a whole.
Well, either M, S or N, we gamers will devote ourselves and our $ to all.

Developers are still making games for the PS2?!
Why, yes. Yes they are.
To be fair, Coraline isn’t just for the PS2. It’s also being made for the DS and the Wii but the PS2?!
From the release:
The only video game based on the upcoming movie, Coraline will allow players to explore and interact with such immersive 3-D environments from the movie as the Pink Palace, its nooks and crannies and apartments, and the unpredictable Other World. Players will engage in unique mini-games and adventures with Coraline’s friends Wybie and Cat as they collect items that will unlock the mysteries of the …read more

I never thought I’d see the day that Boulder Dash gets a makeover for modern consoles. Well, the game isn’t that old. Boulder Dash was originally released in 1984 for the Apple II, MSX, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Atari 400/800 home computers. Later, the game was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System, Acorn Electron (what the hell is an Acorn Electron?), Amstrad CPC, Amiga, and the PC. I just find Boulder Dash—the original, that is—so unimaginative and boring.
Wait! Before you start stoning me, you might want to take a gander at this:

Like I said, unimaginative and boring.
Fortunately for Boulder …read more

I remember playing this classic on the Nintendo Family Computer with my sister Pepper, and we spent countless hours trying to master it. TwinBee, as most of you may recall, is a 1985 side-scrolling shooter released by Konami for the arcade. Fortunately for those who don’t have the funds and the time to spend at the arcades, TwinBee was ported to the Famicom the following year.
Since I had been playing TwinBee with Pepper, I remember having the power to wipe out enemy units—mostly flying fruits and vegetables like eggplants and strawberries and dinnerware such as forks, plates and knives—with twin …read more

Ever wonder how the modern video game console controller came to be? Well, thanks to the ingenious Sock Master, we now have a pretty good idea. Here’s a little tidbit from his “study” entitled “Sock Master’s Game Console Controller Family Tree”:
How did the current home-console controllers come to be? How have they evolved? You may have noticed some similarities between the current generation controllers, or between them and the previous generations of controllers. So, how do they all tie together?
Let’s try to find out. I’ve put together a chart, or controller family tree, that tries to connect all the current …read more
