Splinter Cell Conviction for iPhone Released

Posted by Yes Man in News, Video Game News on May 27th, 2010 | Discuss on the forum » | No Comments »


The highly-acclaimed Splinter Cell series has been sating players’ appetites for stealthy kills for the better part of a decade now, with its latest iteration hitting consoles last month. Luckily for handheld gamers, they can now download a pocket-sized version of that game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. So how does it stack up against its App Store competition?

Pretty well. Gameloft is almost in a league of their own, since they’re one of the only companies pumping out big-budget iPhone titles on a regular basis. Splinter Cell Conviction is undeniably a high quality game, but it’s not quite up to the level of their last release, Zombie Infection, for a few reasons.

Buy now.

The very long awaited X2 Soccer 2010 is arguably the best soccergame on the iPhone. It has the best graphics, animations, AI and controls. Which beats FIFA 10 and RealSoccer 2010.

X2 Soccer 2010 has over 150 club teams to choose from in 10 different leagues, plus international teams from all over the world. This includes U.S. Major League Soccer, Spanish, English, French, Italian, German leagues and more. There are a vast amount of more teams than last years version to play with.

SEGA announces Sonic 4 for iPhone

Posted by Yes Man in News, Video Game News on May 21st, 2010 | Discuss on the forum » | 2 Comments »

SEGA announced yesterday they’re working on Sonic 4 for the iPhone. However it’s release date it’s delayed until late 2010 SEGA wants to ensure that they deliver the best Sonic experience as possible.

This Sonic release sadly enough isn’t 3D, but a 2D platformer, just like the old Sonic. Don’t think it’ll be a lame remake. Sonic 4 will be released for Wii, DS, PSP, PS3, 360 and I must admit the graphics look pretty good.

“The additional time will allow the Development Team to focus on ensuring overall high-quality throughout the game by continuing to tune, balance, and maintain the kind of polish that an important title like this demands, and ultimately providing fans with an unrivalled classic Sonic feel.”

You can see the trailer here. We’ll keep you updated.

Holleywood News: Splice – Guillermo Del Toro’s new masterpiece

Posted by Yes Man in News on May 17th, 2010 | Discuss on the forum » | 1 Comment »

Hold your breath for this movie release. It’s not yet released but they do have some interesting previews to keep us warm. Let’s see what they got!

Splice (2010)

Splice, another very strange/fantasy masterpiece from Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Hobbit,…). It’s a horror film, well sci-fi horror. No movie with blood & slashing unlike many others in it’s genre, it seems to have a very original story.

Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named “Dren”, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators – only to have that bond turn deadly.

You can watch the trailer at YouTube in HD here. Let’s keep an eye on this one… To be released around 29 july.
For those who like artwork, check this and this.

Konami Announces PES for iPhone

Posted by Yes Man in News, Video Game News on May 15th, 2010 | Discuss on the forum » | No Comments »


Real soccer fans, and most of all soccer gamers will remember the battle between EA’s FIFA and Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer. Well, most game publisher giants have their soccer games featured on the iPhone except Konami.

Along X2 games, EA and Gameloft; Konami wants to show them off how a “real” soccer game should be.
On their blog they said:

And we quickly agreed that we should target the quality of the PSP versions. Firstly because we thought graphics on the PSP looked fabulous, secondly because of the iPhone’s processing speed and display capacities being potentially comparable to those of a “small” PSP

For those who want to see the power of the iPhone’s graphics capabilities, check out this video of X2’s upcoming X2Football 2010 game.

So yes I really can’t wait how it will look. I’m a proud fan of X2’s X2Football but I might give Konami’s masterpiece a try. They haven’t announced any release dates yet. I’ll keep you updated.

Fenix Developers Preview

Tags: , ,
Posted by Yes Man in News, Reviews on March 11th, 2010 | Discuss on the forum » | 4 Comments »

Hey guys,
I would like to take this moment to let everyone know Fenix is not dead.
I worked on Fenix last week and managed to work on a new build (29), devs might remember it as beta 9.
I fixed some bugs, added some more features, worked on a spreadsheet, fixed multitasking and such.
The video below demonstrates how Fenix works/looks like, it still has some glitches, but try not to mention them.

As a lot of people requested, I changed it’s GUI back to the old one, hope you guys like it. Please comment.

HP Slate, iPad killer?

Tags: , , , ,
Posted by Yes Man in News, Reviews on March 9th, 2010 | Discuss on the forum » | 8 Comments »

This is how the HP Slate looks like.

This is how the HP Slate looks like.

Well it looks a lot smaller than the iPad which looks quite huge to me. The HP Slate runs a custom Windows 7 version which makes it capable of running all your favorite PC apps (well, don’t expect to play games like Crysis and such). Let’s take a look at it’s features.

The iPad has the most storage, cheap 3G, the time-tested iPhone OS and its mountain of apps, and a serious amount of Apple marketing juice behind it. But it’s also famously lacking features common to the other tablets, such as webcam and multitasking (only first party apps like music and email can multitask).

Comparing iPad – HP Slate (VS)
OS: Windows 7 VS iPhone OS
Browser: Whichever you want VS Safari
Adobe Flash: Yes VS No
Multitasking: Yes VS No
Camera: Yes VS No
Processor: Intel Atom 1.86Ghz VS 1Ghz ARM
Storage: 32-64GB VS Same, but doesn’t really matter anyway
Wireless: WiFi, Bluetooth VS Same, however the new iPad comes with 3G

See yourself, demonstration (YouTube)

What do you think about the HP Slate? Is it really an iPad killer?

Valve confirms Steam for Mac, debuts in April

Steam For Mac

Steam For Mac

Eager gamers have no doubt already seen the teasers, but Valve has now finally confirmed that its Steam game distribution service and Source engine will at long last be headed to the Mac. According to Valve, the company’s current line-up of games (including the Half-Life and Left 4 Dead series) will be available to Mac users in April, while Portal 2 will represent the company’s first simultaneous release for PC and Mac later this year. Better still, Steamworks for Mac also boasts a new feature called “Steam Play,” which will let you buy a game once and, for instance, start playing it on a PC at work and then pick up where you left off on your Mac at home (we’ll give you a moment to let that sink in). Game publishers will have to enable that feature themselves, but Valve says it expects most to take advantage of it.
