Dexter brings his blood splatter patterns to the Iphone





With its mountain of applications (many of which are games), the iphone and ipod touch are sorely in need of a killer app. While largely based on one's interests (you love the showtime series "Dexter", and don't mind simulated murder), its none the less one of the more graphics heavy games to come to the platform. Icarus studio's plans to release the first installement of the episodic iphone game later this summer. The above trailer clearly show's promise of rendering some good ol bay butcher justice.

First Look at C&C 4

So its official. Kane is back to cause mayhem and weather you root for peace through power or love raining death from above via orca gun ships, its going to be one hell of a ride. Make one wonder when Generals will get the go ahead to see the light of day rather then be stomped on in a march of endless sequels. But it's Kane so the theatrics should be good if nothing else. Check out the trailer below:

Dragon Age says Jolly Good to bestiality...among other things.




Bioware's upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins has finally clarified its stance on sexual encounters and how the game will be rated when it hits your local retail shelves. In keeping with the tradition of implied sexual encounters, the game will minus a pair of demon breasts not feature nudity beyond what was seen in mass effect.

So the game appears to be good for any over protective parent or rating concious company worried about impact of sexual content on sales. Or is it.

Bioware's been known to break ground with its story telling, breaking the taboo barrier was not in the cards. So when you set foot in the world of dragon age origins be prepared to visit the local brothel and get your jollies with a 'woman', 'man', transexual or even an animal.

If visions of mounting your mount send you running for the hills then never fear, your team mates will still be available for plot romances and shagging as in recent bioware titles.

Gamefly Launches Ponged.com







In an effort to expand beyond the game rental business, Gamefly has launched the Ponged.com. The aim of the site is supply free to play flash games to the masses. Before writing off the venture as a has bins paradise of mediocrity, Gamefly goes out of its way to assure us that the "hard core" crowd is doing all the vetting work.

So does this mean games like Peggle will be sadly lacking or does that game somehow count as "hard core" ?

Should the PC prove too retro a platform for your gaming delight, the site is fully functional with both the web browsers available on the Wii and PS3.

Good bye Xbox Originals, Hello Games on Demand





While it appears to be simple re branding of "xbox originals" on xbox.com marketplace, it holds promise down the road. This coming August the new "Games on demand", featuring fully downloadable games just like the "xbox originals" section its replaced, will also be hosting a collection of 360 titles. Both 360 and arcade titles are seperate from the original xbox hits but sadly lacking in content when one looks into the 360 section.

Its odd that no official posting was done by microsoft in light of this shift in branding.

Xbox 360 Arcade Upgrading to 512MB onboard memory.





After being confirmed by Eurogamer, its now official that the jasper motherboards found in the arcade xbox 360 will be packing 512MB of memory. Unfortunitly this was done so that the arcade xbox's would be able to make full use of the new xbox experience. Looks like we still need to buy memory cards.
