The first iPhone game has appeared on the freshly launched Fun4iPhone courtesy of MyNuMo. The browser based title, iWhack, features Steve Balmer doing his best Gene Simmons impression, popping out of various holes in the ground. It is the job of Apple evangelicals to whack Balmer back down into the mucky depths.
Growth driven by digital software and console hardware sales.
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.
These new paid games, game trials and “buy once, play anywhere” pricing are coming to Play.
That was quick. It took years of iPod to get games but iPhone was really fast. Looks like DS is finally gonna meet its match (And also PSP since iPhone is also a full multi media device plus a phone).
haha Steve Balmer what a dits
Yea good point MK iPhone may in someway go after the market share of PSP and DS. Definitely PSP just for all the things it does plus being a phone. I think PSP will still have a leg up for with anything apple you need to pledge your alliance to iTunes.
What is even more interesting is EA's renewed relationship with Apple that was shouted about at the WWDC last month. The iPod is already getting more games from EA as are Macs, let's hope the iPhone follows, it has a pretty meaty processor in it, much more powerful than that of the DS, I for one have my fingers crossed.
I think you are approaching this all the wrong way ktchong. Why does every entrant into handheld gaming need to be seen as a direct threat to established platforms, can't it offer something of its own?
Granted, there are no third party developers for the iPhone but this is not due to a lack of interest, it is due to Apple blocking third parties from developing applications which is why for now all of its apps are in the form of Web 2.0 widgets. I would say there are plenty of developers who would be keen to develop for the iPhone were it an option (the thing has just sold 1 million units in less than five days).
As for the Mac...
Wether or not the Mac is to get any EA exclusives (and for the record I don't think it will) is unimportant. Apple has not positioned it as a competetitor to PC gaming. All the partnership with EA means is that there is renewed support for Mac users who want to play a few games from time to time.
And just out of interest, who here said that Apple were 'commited to gaming' that is 100 per cent your assertion young padwan.
Yesterday I posted this comment..
"That crazy bald guy from M$ must be losing his mind right about now..hahaha" (referring to the amount of iphones sold over the weekend).
..and now this game comes out for the iPhone..lol
@bladestar.....I was merely pointing out that I had mentioned Steve Balmer's name in regards to the sales of the iphone, and now this iphone game come's out were Steve gets "whacked". NOTHING MORE!!
Also, whether you want to admit it or not, the iphone IS a threat to M$, Sony, and many others. Trust me buddy, M$ is closely watching ANYTHING that Google, or Apple does.
"So, you are way off" about me on "the Microsoft flamming on this one... nice try though..."
BTW are you Dominican?
edit: i was asking because i am too. Quit jumping the gun so much bro.
