A skeptics look at iPhone gaming

Since getting my iPhone 3G I’ve bought and installed two games: Wurdle, and Asphalt 4 Elite Racing. They are at extreme ends of the gaming spectrum; Wurdle is a very casual 5 minute game, whereas Asphalt 4 is targeted at more serious gaming (IGN say it’s a must have for any serious gamer). I thought I’d give my opinions on both, and also discuss how the iPhone fits in the handheld gaming market in my opinion.

Spore Creature Creator for Mac

For my first guest post on Mac Fan Boy, I decided that I needed something to set the scene of the sorts of things I’m interested in, while trying to keep things Mac related; although I haven’t been told by x5315 that I need to keep things Mac-oriented, I think it might be best considering the name of the blog!

I’m a gamer (not so much any more, but still at heart), and I’m a recent Mac convert after using Windows and Linux for all of my computing life (and thus all of my life!). I’m also pretty excited about Spore, and Spore Creature Creator was released a few days ago. They’re offering two different forms of it: a limited parts demo for PC and Mac, and a full version for just £5 available for digital download from the EA online store.

Grand Theft Auto IV

I recently played GTA4 on a friends Xbox 360. It wasn’t bad. It played like previous GTAs with slightly improved graphics and gameplay.

On another note, i noticed that there was a lot of motion blurring and also some stuttering in game. I’m assuming that this is due to the power of the 360 and have yet to play the PS3 version of the game.

However, on the whole, it’s a good game.
