iOS4

iOS4 is the new iPhone mobile operating system from Apple. It will run on the new iPhone 4. As well as the 3GS and the 3G. It will feature things like multi tasking. Multi tasking is the ability to do multiple tasks at once. It will have a thing called categories that let you make folders and categorys to sort your apps. It has a new social feature called game box. This allows you to socialize with other people while playing iPhone games. Just like Open Feint and Plus+! This will be a great new software update from Apple!

iPhone 4

June 7th, 2010 Apple released the new iPhone 4. It is exactly the same as the prototype found in the bar back in March. The phone has a much better screen resolution of 960x640! It has a 5 Megapixel camera that also records 720p HD video. It also has a front facing video camera! You can imagine what this is for... Video calling!! The camera also has flash! On Apples tech specs it says that the new iPhone 4 includes HSDPA in the phone. This could mean compatability with CDMA companys such as Verizon and Sprint! The new iPhone has the same A4 processor that the iPad has. 1GHz! Apple has a special coating on their phone that makes it completly fingerprint resistant! The iPhone 4 will be available for purchace on June 24th!

iPhone 4G found at bar!

Recently an named man lost an iPhone prototype in a bar in California. A man picked up the phone. A popular gadget blog -- Gizmodo paid $5,000 for the prototype. They took it apart and used it. Turns out its real! It has a front facing camera, a second microphone, and a new body style! It looks very nice! The phone had a case that made the new prototype look like the iPhone 3GS. Soon after the blog post came out Apple started contacting Gizmodo for the phone back. Even more proof its real!

Personnaly I think it was "lost" at that bar by Apple for a publicity stunt. Because the amount of press and hype this just generated is incredible! This is totally to Apples advantage! I think the new prototype looks cool. At almost the same time the iPhone was found Apple released the iPhone 4.0 beta software to developers. Again. Another way this is probably another plot by apple!

Left 4 Dead 2 DLC Released!

Today April 22nd the new DLC (Downloadable Content) for the popular game Left 4 Dead 2 on the Xbox 360 and PC platforms. The new content is called "The Passing" Its on the Xbox Live Marketplace now for $7 and a free update on the PC. The new DLC includes a new Campain in which the L4D2 survivors meet up with the L4D1 survivors. The have a new Co-Op mode, something that they call "Mutations", a new Scavenger map, a new gun, melee weapon, new achievements and much much more!

Its a great expansion to the game. If you felt the game was getting a little old/boring this will DEFINETLY make you wanna come back and play for many more hours. Its definetly worth the $7 (550 Microsoft points). I think that this will also cause sales to shoot up. This was a very good move by Valve/Steam!

Stargate Resistance's Creators go bankrupt!?

A few days after the release of the new PC game Stargate: Resistance for the PC platform Chyenne Mountain Entertainment filed chapter 11! They are blaming their former chairman and CEO for this. As they claim he was using their budget and feeding his other companys with that money. You must be thinking "Wow this really sucks for everyone who just bought this game!" I was one of those people. Later a press release surfaced from a group of shareholders in CME. They stated that they and a bunch of the former developers will still be supporting the game and patching the game regulary!

They claim to be working on a new expansion pack for the game. This is all great news as everyone who bought the game wont be out their $20! The problem is that CME was also working on a second Stargate game called Stargate: Worlds. This would be a more MMORPG type game versus SG:R which is more of a FPS.

BFBC2 or MW2?

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was on of the best selling most anticipated games of Nov. 2009. The game was a hit. Sold millions upon millions of copies in the first 3 days. 4 months later in March came its best competitor: Battlefield Bad Company 2. There has been a lot of talk over which is better. I will break it down into pieces. Modern Warfare 2 has a TON of bugs and different issues with it. It has a lot of stupid things and faults that make it more of an arcade game than anything. Its very unrealistic. It doesnt require any team work and is pretty repetitive. There are an excessive amount of cheaters and hacks being used in the game. The game is very unbalanced and not fair. Lastly MW2 is slow to bring out patches and they charge for map packs.

On the other hand we have Battlefield Bad Company 2. Even though it has a lot of bugs (but what game doesnt that just came out?) fixed a lot of problems MW2 had. Such as unbalanced weapons. Terrible spawn points. Hacks, cheaters, and glitches. when it comes to the PC versions unlike MW2 Battlefield has dedicated servers great community you can mod the game and everything PC gamers deserve in a PC game!

As you can tell I would definetly suggest going out and buying Battlefield over Modern Warfare 2. They are priced the same and battlefield beats MW2 in just about every area!

Nexus One a Good Phone Or Just Cool Wallpaper?

Googles new phone the Nexus One has been out for a while now. Currently supplied for no contract at a hefty $700 or through T-Mobile for $399. It will be arriving on Verizon and Sprint soon. Now as you may have guessed its main competitor is Apples iPhone. But does it really compete? Well googles phone has a 5.0 Megapixel camera a 640x480 LED screen and googles operating system. which in comparison to the iPhone seems quite impressive but there are also quite a few things the iPhone has that the Nexus doesnt. For example theres no Multi-Touch or great iTunes integration. It also has no where near the quantity/quality of apps that the Appstore offers. Although the Nexus has some nifty features like the colorful moving wallpaper and stupid little fun apps it will never beat the functionality and awesomeness of the iPhone.

Supreme Commander 2 FAIL

A few days ago the sequal to the 6 time award winning PC game " Supreme Commander" was released. Supreme Commander 2. This game was highly anticipated and had high expectatations. But it wound up a big fail. Part of the reason was the change of developers. The first game was developed by THQ as the 2nd was made by Square Enix. (THQ being the more popular developer) The sequal lacks most of the great features the first had. Its very waterd down and not very fufilling. The game was quite a dissapointment to me and most of the Supreme Commander series.

Supreme Commander was always a game set apart from the rest of the RTS genere it was a lot better. This next game is just like every un exciting average RTS. This was a great dissapointment. Square Enix really blew it on this one. Hopefully they will learn from this mistake.

fools: Apple replacing the iPod lines and endorcing Microsofts Zune!

This past week Apple released a very important press release stating that they will be canceling there line of iPods. They decided that there competitor Microsoft with there Zune is just taking over the market. Apple has given up. Instead they will be branding the Zune with the Apple logo and Name. "The Zune is just so much better than the iPod" said Steve Jobs at the recent press release. The new Zapples (Zune/Apple) will be starting at $299 for the 8gb no touch screen version. "Even though the iPod is the most popular MP3 device holding 3/4 of the market the iPod just plain sucks!" says Sarah Palin. They will be inacting this change with in the coming weeks. Apple will also be canceling all iPod support along with iTunes. In its place will be ZTunez. It will only be compatible with Zunes and the new Zune TV.

Real: Steam For Mac

Recently at the 2010 Game Developers confrences the legendary PC gaming innovator: Valve made a new announcement. They will be releasing there Steam client for Mac OSX. They will also be porting some of there most famous games such as Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Team Fortress 2, and of course, Half Life 2! The client is to be released in the beginning of April. There are already some small traces of Mac coding in the recent client updates.

This will be a revolutionary step twards mac gaming. Some of the best Pc games arriving on Mac OsX. Now with the new NVidia 9400m graphics in all the new base line macs everyone should have the chance to play. A company as big as Valve making Mac games may spark other developers to start developing games for mac! This will be AMAZING.

fools:God of War III Canceled for Telly Tubbies!!!

The new up and coming, highly anticipated, long awaited game God of War III has been canceled. Sony Computer Entertainment announced today that there new addition to the series will be canceled. Replaicing it with TelliTubbies World wide! It will be a new MMORPG where you can play as Twinky Winky, Laa Laa, Dipsy, and Po. And you run around the endless world playing with the sun!

Personally I feel that if there gonna cancel God Of War III then they should at least add an easteregg to let you play as Kratos (the main character from GOW III) and slay they Telly Tubbies!

fools:Sonys Next Gaming Console "Big Bertha"

This past week Sony Entertainment announced the future. The next gen gaming experience. They have yet to name it but it has been codenamed “Big Bertha”. The new gaming platform is set to replace the PS3 console. According to an inside source “Big Bertha” is going to feature a new technology in which the player will feel real pain and death just like the video game character! This will really change the future of video gaming! There will also be no controller… it will be mind controlled! Imagine games like Crash Bandicoot! This will definitely revolutionize the gaming world.

The only problem I have is the death part. This will definetly turn off a lot of whimps who are too sissy to die. Big Bertha will probably be somewhat of a hardcore gamers console. Games will be a lot more realistic. Games now a days sometimes have bad "life systems" like it takes 200 bullets to take down an opponent. Now it might only take 1 bullet to kill someone! Now all I wonder is how Nintendo and Microsoft compete...
