Ever since Apple and Sega showed off Super Monkey Ball, game developers have been flocking in packs to the iPhone as a viable device for game development. This strange phenomenon boggles my mind. As a gamer, you’d think I’d be all for companies making games for my beloved iPhone but that couldn’t be more wrong. Now I’m not against all iPhone games, some are actually quite entertaining for those moments in which you have a little time to kill. There is a market for some great casual games to be had here, the type of games that can be played in 5 to 10 minutes chunks. However I am against the people who actually believe that the iPhone will rival systems like the Nintendo DS or Playstation Portable for the mobile gaming market. There’s 3 HUGE reasons that I think this will just not happen and I would like to share my thoughts with you today. (more…)
this is how your themes will look
I think the most exciting thing to come out from E3 this year, regarding the Xbox 360, was hands down the announcement of the Xbox Experience.

Official Portable PSN ID cards for the masses!!
0 Comments | Posted by Jermaine in Playstation 3
As Sony continues to play catch up with Microsoft, today you can now bring your PSN ID where ever you go…on the internet. We now have an official way to display your PSN ID on various profiles around the net, but it still leaves us wanting for more. As of right now, I don’t think there’s a way to see the current games that I’m playing nor a way to see all the trophies I have gained. I hope Sony implements both of these features in the near future.
If this interest you, go link up your PSN ID here.

5 Things I’ve Learned from Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
0 Comments | Posted by Jermaine in Nintendo Wii
5. Mr. Tyler has hot daughters and they clearly didn’t get their looks from him.
I don’t know if it’s because I have the Wii Version or because I play the game when I’m really tired but he’s a pretty scary man to look at. But at least he’s not as scary as Super Jaw.
4. I thought I like Aerosmith way more than I actually do.
Turns out the only song that I really enjoy by them is Dream On. The other is that song from Armageddon but whatever…
3. GH: Aerosmith is a genre of music rather than a nice sampling of everything rock.
Which sucks, plain and simple. I’m not saying the music sucks but I am saying that playing songs in the same vain of each other over and over again blows.
2. They actually ramp up the difficulty quite nicely this time around.
I can actually finish Hard in this game! Maybe they figured only old women would be playing this, so they went ahead and dumb the difficulty down a little so grandma wouldn’t have a stroke trying to get past that stupid METALLICA SONG!!!! (I’m sorry, I’m projecting again)
1. If you’re not a huge Aerosmith fan, this game isn’t for you.
I’m sure everyone knew this but I can’t be restated enough. I own it because my girlfriend loves Guitar Hero and we play it together. It’s fun playing it with her but there’s no way I’d play this game on my own. Save up your pennies kids and just get the gift that keeps on giving: Rock Band.
Actually, if you don’t own anything but the Wii, you might have to settle for this. Hopefully E3 will bring some good news to you in monogamist console relationships.
