Guitar Hero coming to Google Android

Telegraph: "The game requires users to touch the G1's touch-screen to play along to tracks including Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water and the Guns n Roses classic, Welcome to the Jungle.

It marks the launch of paid-for G1 applications through the Android Marketplace. Until now, additional software for the handset has been available free of charge, with more than 1,000 applications to chose from.

The Google-backed Android operating system aims to bring the desktop computing experience to mobile devices. T-Mobile launched the G1, the first "Google phone", late last year.

A number of other mobile phone makers said they would back the Android platform, with LG and Samsung confirming forthcoming Android handsets, and HTC and Vodafone unveiling the Magic, a successor to the G1.

T-Mobile also released details of the most popular Android applications downloaded to date. The Weather Channel's app was among the most used by mobile web users, while navigation and social networking software featured heavily, too. There were three price comparison services in the top 10 too, including Shop Savvy and Barcode Scanner, two programs that enable shoppers to find the cheapest online and high street prices for a given product."

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
