Hey Fighting Fans,

As you know I am all about the fighting games. However I have never really been too keen on handheld or pocket fighters because they really never live up

Street Fighter 4 iPhone Review

I am going to take one for the on-the-go fighting team and give you the unbridled hardcore no holds-barred review of the just released Street Fighter 4 for the iPhone, iPhone3G and 3GS.

Let’s take a look of what we you can expect and may or may not be missing out on.

As this is an update, from earlier we will be posting the written review first and the video shortly.

1: Control = Control? What’s that? It’s an iphone Game!
Well basically it is a “virtual arcade stick” in the left hand corner. And the buttons for the various strength of kicks is press sensitive. Something that I thought at first would not be well received but happens to turn our pretty well. Depending of course how big your fingers are. The virtual arcade stick works fairly well and was able to pull off charge specials. Not too shabby. I had a little bit of a time with the Ultra on Blanka but it the “alternative Ultra” initiation method was a nice touch for those not versed with playing with virtual controls. Combos were possible, but shaky and clean. Wakeups were totally possible and the Ultra Finishing screens make you feel like a champ!

2: Graphics & Sound = Well, that’s a big decision maker too! How do you emulate a PS3/360 game for a handheld like the Iphone and how well does it work?
Not so bad. Only 8 characters to choose from but the animations are slightly toned down (especially the background) more stable slightly washed. But totally on point for such a small game and the sound make me feel that I should attach a pair of headphones or earbuds and start jamming out. And let’s not forget the “Fight of Your Rival” announcer. Not flawless but very, very acceptable.

3: Replay Value = I actually beat it! I wanted to continue playing!! Can you believe that!? I was intrigued enough to keep playing until Bison! (Spoiler – He’s the last guy)

4: Should You Buy SF4 for iPhone? = Yes, the core audience will find it mildly entertaining and novelty to have it on the go on their phone and new comers can get a taste of the real deal action to come.

Hey gamers!  Yet another of your favorite franchises is soon making it’s way to the iPhone App store!  Square Enix announced that they will be releasing Final Fantasy I & II for the iPhone/iPod Touch!  There will of course, be some graphical tweaks.  It already looks promising, I think.  Now you’ve got something to put next to Street Fighter IV on your apps screen.

No word on an exact date of release as of yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do!  In the meantime, trailer!

It’s official, Apple’s annual announcement of new products in January continues, as the invites have started being delivered for their Jan. 27th event titled “Come see our new creation.” What can this new announcement be, I wonder? All the analyst point to one thing, a touch tablet. Apple must keep up with the new trend, which if you followed CES announcements this year, you know the new buzzword is touch tablets.

The rumors have been bubbling up for sometime now on Apple’s anticipated iTablet, and it seems to be inevitably true, as Apple has also purchased the domain iTablet.com as of recent. Now with the event titled “Come See Our New Creation“, what else could it be besides a iTablet? Any other ideas, let us know in the comment section, because we are willing to bet the house on this one.

The newly acquired Admob from google has already implimented a new ad service. Videos.. Sure they can be flashy and more appealing to click but if you have grown up with computers as I have- you’re probably tired of ads. True we use them here, as we cannot simply work for free. Everyone has to make money to survive. These more obnoxious full scale videos though may be taking it to far. Here is what Admob had to say: (more…)

With troubling numbers coming out of different developer camps like Beejive (server based) reporting that 70% to 80% of users are accessing the server from pirated apps.
