Better on the iPhone? Classic games reinvented - Flytrap Games

Flytrap writes: "The App Store is like a whacking great whale (with the iPhone and iPod Touch its calves), sifting hundreds upon hundreds of microscopic gaming morsels out of the e-ocean every month.

Every now and again, this vast yet gentle omnivore hoovers up something rather bigger - a treasure chest of interactive delights let slip from the stern of HMS Console & PC Market.

Not everybody thinks console and PC franchises belong on the iPhone or iPod Touch, of course. We're all familiar with the criticisms. "Dumbing down" is one. "Pandering to the masses" is another.

To put the controversy to rest (until our next iPhone round-up, at least), Flytrap has plucked 10 such cross-platform IPs from the waters and given them a short but thorough grilling.

Can the iPhone deliver the ultimate Toki Tori experience? Is Solid Snake that much Solider on an iPod? The answers are but a click away."

WORMS on iPhone is definitely better than WORMS on the PC, imo.

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.
