I don’t know about you guys but my favorite mode in Call of Duty: World at War is none other than Nazi Zombies. Sure, the other modes are cool but there’s nothing like being locked in a room with a never ending supply of zombies to destroy. However, the only problem with this is that only PS3, Xbox 360 or PC gamers could get down on the fun.

Today, Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies has hit the App Store for the iPhone and iPod touch allowing for the zombie slaying game play we’ve all come to know and love on a handheld platform. The gave will allow for 4 player WiFi or 2 player Bluetooth multiplayer gameplay with Achievements, Leaderboards and future support for DLC.

All of this can be yours for just $9.99, what are you waiting for?

Just as we had told you a few weeks ago EA’s Rock Band has officially been released to the App Store for the iPhone/iPod touch at $9.99. I’ve personally always had problems spending 10 bucks on an iPhone app, but that’s just me.

Anyways, the iPhone version of Rock Band will feature 20 tracks several game modes including multiplayer and the ability to play as the guitar, bass, vocals and drums just as we had reported to you previously.

And, of course, if 20 tracks aren’t enough for you, you can always purchase additional tracks through the App Store.

Monkey Island now on App Store

July 24th, 2009 2 Comments   Posted in Adventure, Apple, Portable


After all the teasing by LucasArts, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition has finally hit the App Store today. This means you can download the game for both the iPhone and iPod Touch.

According to the publisher, the portable version has the same improvements as the Xbox Live and PC versions of the game, including new visuals, voice acting, etc. I’m sure that there will be a few minor differences between the ports, seeing as the iPhone OS capability isn’t as powerful as its counterparts, but it’s still the game we all love.

You can download Monkey Island for $7.99.

Streets of Rage coming to the iPhone

July 18th, 2009 2 Comments   Posted in Apple, DLC, Portable


It seems that everyone’s favorite side-scrolling beat ‘em up, Streets of Rage, has made its way to Apple’s highly successful App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The game is available today at an asking price of $4.99.

Of course, I don’t know how much I’d like the touch-screen controls with a game that requires such button mashing but I’m sure some nostalgia will be good.

Rock Band Network to allow user-created music

July 17th, 2009 2 Comments   Posted in DLC, Music, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360


Harmonix is proud to announce that later this year they will be launching for the Xbox 360 (PS3 and Wii support at a later date) what they are calling the Rock Band Network. If you’re familiar with Apple’s App Store, this is the same kind of thing.

The Rock Band Network will allow users to upload and price their own tracks which can then be downloaded by anyone with the game. Users are said to be able to price the tracks between 50 cents and $3 while getting 30% of the track sales.

This is great news for up and coming artists looking to reach a wider audience. But the question remains, will the Rock Band Network catch on like similar services or will it be met with lackluster interest? Only time will tell.

You can check out the service in more detail, here.

Portal iPhone port gets caught on video

July 16th, 2009 No Comments   Posted in Apple, DLC, Portable, Puzzle

Featured in the above video is what looks to be an iPhone port of the popular Source-based puzzler, Portal. As you can see, the controls look a bit difficult to master but the same could be said for many other iPhone titles on the market.

While the above video may be fake, the iPhone (especially with the 3GS’ updated processor) could definitely handle the graphics rendering said video features.

I for one would love to give this game a go, let’s hope Valve makes note of this and considers an iPhone port.

Resident Evil 4 headed to the iPhone

July 15th, 2009 2 Comments   Posted in Apple, Portable

The iPhone has proven itself time and time again to be a viable gaming platform so it’s no surprise that Capcom has announced the future availability of Resident Evil 4 on the Japanese App Store.

Unfortunately for us American gamers there was some worry about whether or not it would ever make its way over seas to our App Store. Luckily, Capcom has announced that after Resident Evil 4 hits the Japanese App Store later this month it will then make its way to App Stores across the world.

With games like Doom already out on the App Store along with Resident Evil 4’s recent announcement it only leads us to question what developer will release a port of their flagship titles next.

After the break there is a video demo of the game thanks to Pocketgamer.

It was recently announced that EA has opened a brand new micro-studio entitled 8 lb Gorilla. This studio will develop games exclusively for Apple’s App Store which runs on both the iPhone and iPod Touch.

EA hopes that 8 lb Gorilla will be able to release 99-cent titles onto the App Store on a semi-monthly basis. The micro-studio’s debut game will be entitled Zombies & Me (trailer above) in which players will take control of Guy as he attempts to protect his grandma from an onslaught of zombies.

Will some of these games be crappy? Most likely, but with EA and 8 lb Gorilla releasing them so quickly they are sure to stumble onto at least one good title.

Doom Resurrection trailer hits web

June 12th, 2009 2 Comments   Posted in Apple, FPS, Media, Technology, Wii

We just learned yesterday that id Sotware’s App Store exclsuive Doom Resurrection would hit sometime next and today we are greated with a trailer showcasing actual gameplay from the title.

The above trailer does a great job showing off the game-changing visuals featured in Doom Resurrection but it also reveals something to us that was before unknown; Doom Resurrection will be an on-rails shooter.

So, just like Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii, players will not be able to run around in a true 3D environment but instead be restricted to a pre-set path. Oh well, at least it has cool graphics, right?

Game Crazy iPhone app hits App Store

June 12th, 2009 2 Comments   Posted in Apple

Game Crazy has just released a previously unannounced app to the App Store for use with both the iPhone and iPod Touch.

According to the app’s description users will be able to see when new titles are set to come out along with viewing high-resolution trailers of said new titles. Additionally, users will be able to find out how much used game trade-ins will be worth so they can see if its worth it before they get to the store.

This app is definitly a welcome addition to the App Store and is sure to garner some internet. Unfortunately I don’t have any Game Crazys around me but does anyone want to make a bet on how long until Game Stop releases an identical app?
