Gamerstorm's Shaxster looks at the usage of the iPad 2 in gaming, highlighting key features that could make it a great gaming platform.
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.
absolutely nothing just like the first one
It means that your next cell phone might be the ps4. Im not kidding.
it means NOTHING, period.
Nothing. Just like the SKU before it. I know what I'll be buying on March 25th. And it ain't iPad2...begins with 3 and ends in DS.
Seriously i kinda like those ipad and phone devices , but it means nothing important , besides more advertised somewhat ok mini games like angry birds .
Sorry but my gaming standards are way higher than angry birds ...
I just obviously expect it to sell atrociously well , and the occasionnal "hey look at the power of my thingy , i can do home console graphics too" game that plays like crap .
I also expect another console franchise gettings butchered for it (Sonic 4 anyone ?)
