TBH I wish there was something like this for PS3 on the iphone. This is a really cool app, being able to see who is online and even send messages is a really cool feature.

Aren't Microsoft and Apple competitors?

Eiffel6007d ago (Edited 6007d ago )

Yes, but they both rely on one another. Hell Apple almost went bankrupt around the late 90's and to avoid a business monopoly, Microsoft donated money to keep them up. Apple and Microsoft have a love/hate relationship in business.

Each is smart enough to know what benefits them and keeps them alive, even if it means helping the competition.

This is just a application made by a third party to support iphone users who own 360's. It's free under Microsofts Use And Terms Rights. The third party is allowed to keep this released as long as no profit is gained.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde37d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

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.
