Can Apple save PC gaming?
Apple is a company with a fairly strong gaming past. In years bygone, companies like Bungie and iD were all about the Mac platform – showing up to keynote speeches and bombing terribly on stage as the press sat silent, wondering why these coder kids were being allowed to share the same stage space as Herr Jobs.

Apple gains gaming market share
With the app store being so huge, and the iPhone and iPod Touch both selling gangbusters, it’s no surprise that a look into NPD figures show that both Sony and Nintendo need to take Apple seriously in the mobile gaming market, especially with the iPad due to hit shelves next month and Steam coming to OS X too. “It’s clear… Continue »
Street Fighter 4 iPhone Review
Street Fighter IV on the iPhone is actually a pretty decent attempt to bring Capcom’s Next Gen classic to the touch screen; unfortunately the game is let down by a crappy roster of warriors and a control system that rewards ‘button’ mashing and not precision. The big question on everyone’s lips is: are the controls any good? The answer is:… Continue »
