Gaming to go
By Skald 2 Comments
No, and as a matter of fact, I care less about mobile gaming. The much ballyhooed iPhone is not much of a gaming platform, there are no got-to-have titles on it as a system. The iPhone and iPod touch are also very expensive, and games, though cheap, have to be downloaded from the internet. Some games on the iPhone store might be diamonds-in-the-rough, but this is in direct contrast to all the games that are below free flash game quality. In making a marketplace for this stuff, it motivates good people to make good, commercial games, but, like every platform in existence, it attracts a lot of shortsighted conmen. Combined with the low, low bar for entry, this platform continues to be unimpressive. And touchscreen-emulated buttons are just silly.
Regular cellphone games continue to suck and cost too much.
