Ever since Apple released the $99 Apple TV 2 with AirPlay compatibility last year, fans have been holding vigilant for an App Store on the set-top box. Applications would mean games on a larger screen, and AirPlay would mean iDevices could join in on the fun.
But after nearly 12 months of waiting, Cupertino has yet to make an announcement regarding 3rd-party application support. Just as jailbreaking paved the way for the iPhone, it's also slowly unlocking the Apple TV's potential...
Remember when kids used to sit and play with plastic toys and run around outside? Me neither. It seems that these days, the joys of hacking are too strong a pull for our little ones.
CNET highlights a 10-year old hacker, going by the name of CyFi, who has presented an exploit to the "Kids" section of the popular hacking conference, DefCon. The exploit, which currently works on both iOS and Android, allows certain games to be prematurely advanced by simply altering the device's clock...
It's back to school time I'm afraid, but there is one every so slight plus to this time of year, and that's sales. We all like sales, don't we?
The guys over at Electronic Arts certainly do, and their EA 'Back to School' sale is underway, with games receiving up to 80% reductions in price.
Huge titles such as FIFA 11, Madden NFL 11 and Recklesss Racing HD are all included in the sale of iPhone and iPad games...
Infinity Blade, one of the most popular games for iOS, is currently on sale for a bargain-tastic half price of $2.99.
That means that for under $3, you could be hacking, slashing and being a general badass on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch...
Firemint, the team behind such iOS blockbuster titles as Real Racing and Flight Control, has recently been bought by Electronic Arts. They have released the first ever gameplay trailer of its upcoming title: Spy Mouse.
The trailer shows Spy Mouse himself, Agent Squeak, traversing obstacles and risking life and limb, all under your control. Featuring 72 levels, spread across 6 worlds, Spy Mouse promises to have enough depth to keep us all coming back for more...
ZeptoLab's Cut The Rope has been a roaring success on Apple's App Store, with the app spending more time inside the Top 10 list than not. The addictive little game even managed to knock those Angry Birds off their perch for a spell late last year, and according to TechCrunch, there's a sequel on the way.
And it's closer than you might think...
Those of a certain age will remember the good old days of the Nintendo Gameboy. The 3DS and DS' Grandfather was a boxy, black and white (well, more green, actually) affair, none of this headache-inducing 3D whizz-bangery here.
If you remember the device in question and don't think I've finally lost the plot, then you might just like an upcoming iPad 2 case, courtesy of Lootiful.
As with Lootiful's iPhone 4 case, the iPad equivalent offers protection from bumps and scratches while presenting a retro appeal for those of us old enough to remember the golden age of gaming...
The eagerly awaited Final Fantasy Tactics will finally make its way to iOS this Thursday, according to a post on the Square Enix Europe blog.
The news signals the end of a long wait for European gamers. The title, original available on Sony's Playstation console, never saw a European release, meaning this iPhone version will be the first time that some fans of the franchise have had a chance to get to grips with it.
A touch-enabled remake of the classic, "Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions" promises to be one of the hits of the year for iOS gaming fans...
What in the world would you do if you had 18 iPads? Sell them? Give them away? Play Tetris?
That's exactly what iP Stand — a French company that rents iPads — did when they obviously had a few hours of spare time on their hand.
The result? A pretty ingenious way to promote your company, coupled with nostalgic 8-bit sound effects from the GameBoy classic...
The current console generation is getting older by the minute. For example, Microsoft's Xbox 360 was unveiled on May 12, 2005 — that's over 6 years ago. Not only that, but other than Nintendo's Wii U, there hasn't been word of any upcoming console launches. What gives?
IndustryGamers helps shed some light on the topic with words from John Riccitello, Electronic Arts CEO, during a recent interview. The executive has been around the gaming industry since the 80's, and believes that consoles now only make up 40% of the market...
Alright folks, it's finally here. We told you about the iControlPad nearly 3 years ago, and the company has finally started shipping the product. For those unfamiliar with the gaming accessory, let me give you a quick refresher.
When you think of iPhone gaming add-ons, you typically think of those little plastic suction-cup-tipped joysticks. iControlPad provides a much better solution for your touchscreen woes with physical, console-like controls...
Q Pang was developed by Bobtan and is an excellent 4.5 star rated iPhone game. If you love blowing up aliens in an explosive arcade fashion, then this game is perfect for you.
Q Pang has a traditional set up. Located at the bottom of the screen, an incredibly cute cat, the hero, must keep waves of attacking invaders from outerspace from reaching land. In order to do so, he has to blow them sky high.
In my opinion, that’s where the similarity between Q Pang and other shooters end. First of all, the hero in question is a cat. This ferociously cute thing packs a hard punch with personality to boot. From crazy-looking glowing eyes when he’s mowing down the Qs, to coordinating outfits for some of his weapons, this alien blasting Garfield is not your typical anti-alien defense force...
