Smartphone news is generally less than exciting when viewed from the gamer's gaze. A single new iteration of a new phone rarely generates major advances in mobile gaming. If you've somehow come to expect the S4 to suddenly make Android into a great gaming platform, I would stop holding my breath now.
Retro gaming console emulator apps are now welcome on the Apple App Store and can even offer downloadable games.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.
I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.
Who needs a smartphone to play games when next gen consoles are around the corner?
Sony Xperia z hmmm
Smartphones overall is pretty bad for gaming. The specifik cons with the iphone is the screensize, lack of memmoryslot and the restrictions in the os.
I do not game on my phone except for pokemon on gb emulator. I am not sure what to upgrade to next month the xperia z or s4. The xperia z has similar specs and has that resistance to water which is pretty awesome but the s4 continues the greatness of the s3.
Because Apple sucks. Obviously.
