anyone else getting fed up with all this BS with apple claiming they can overtake the DS/PSP?  don't get me wrong...after having had a chance to play around with my friend's jailbroken Ipod Touch, it seems like it would work as the "next generation" of casual gaming; what with the whole tilt sensor doohickey.  it's commendable that there is a considerable user-base of iphone/touch users who actually download games for their multitasking portable, but what percentage of games are actually FUN on the system?

PSP:
- god of war chains of olympus
- crisis core ff7
- dj max fever (along with the original korean imports)
- lumines 1 and 2
- patapon 1 and 2
- daxter
- and now the upcoming assassin's creed, motorstorm, little big planet, rock band portable

all the above being examples of games that will never be pulled off on an iphone/touch unless drastically changed or dumbed-down.

i won't even attempt to list all the good games that are available on DS.  suffice it to say, there's a chance some DS games could possibly be pulled off on an iphone/touch...but the fact that the iphone/touch doesn't have a d-pad or face buttons will be it's downfall IF apple ever considers going one on one against 2 portable gaming systems that have made their mark on the whole gaming community.

-_-

the DSL's current d-pad was a MAJOR downgrade from the regular DS's larger, more tactile, d-pad.

well let me put this this way...there aren't too many things in the world that can compare to the awe-inspiring nature of Chuck Norris, BUT GiantBomb.com is indeed one of the few that comes close.
