We know that there are a lot of big Battlefield fans out there, but we don’t think there are any bigger fans than its creators who have not only made wallpapers for the PC and iPhone, but for Cisco IP telephones as well. Yeah, we laughed too, but wait till you see it on your own Cisco phone. It’s made every phone call we’ve made five times more action packed.
Really.

What do slugs do when they’re not looking for bigger shells to crawl into? No, wait. Those are snails. Apparently we don’t know much about slugs, but luckily for us the guys over at Republic of Fun do. Their latest game, Slug Wars, chronicles exactly what slugs do when Homo sapiens like ourselves aren’t watching; partaking in all-out warfare.
What do we think of Slug Wars? Should Slug Wars be on your iPhone or iPod Touch? Find out after the jump!
Thanks to Square Enix’s facebook page we now know that Final Fantasy I and II will soon be available for download on the iPhone/iPod touch. At the moment there is no release date, but they have given us some screenshots of both titles.
“Falling blocks” games are a dime a dozen, but only a few are worth your time. Star*Burst, developed by the creator of the popular 90’s arcade game KLAX, happens to be one of the few.
It’s Winter folks and what does that mean? Snowboarding and hunting Bambi in scenic snow covered terrains, naturally. That’s why VG Tribune is reviewing both Big Buck Hunter Pro and Snowboard Tilt and Twist for the iPhone and iPod Touch in this wintry double feature.
Does the duo provide enough bang for your (purchasing, not hunting) buck? Find out after the jump!
You only need $100 and a Mac to develop apps for the iPhone. If it’s Twitter, games, email, GPS navigation or Facebook, “theres an app for that†on the iTunes App Store. The iPhone’s success is largely owed to the developers, ranging from big name studios to a few guys in a garage, ala Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who have made the device the swiss army knife of phones.
Since its launch in July of 2008, the iTunes App Store has reached over Two Billion downloads and now has more than 100,000 unique applications available. What has made the rapid growth and success of the App Store possible are the more than 125,000 developers in Apple’s iPhone Developer Program.
What’s it like developing for the iPhone? Why are developers gravitating towards it? Where do developers see mobile gaming going? VGTribune sat down with a few iPhone developers last week to answer these, and other, questions. Read the rest of this entry »
When we pull out our iPhone or iPod touch to game, we usually do so to pass by a few minutes of our time. iPhone/iPod touch games don’t always have to be the grand scale experience we see on consoles, just a bit sized diversion.
Is iWater Flow a good bite sized diversion that will help to pass time at the bank or in class?
Find the answer to that question and details about a giveaway after the jump!
All hell is breaking loose and your goal is to run right and avoid falling, hitting a wall (and then falling) and avoid falling satellites. Although it may not be exactly like Mirror’s Edge, it does capture the same sense of moment that Mirror’s Edge was all about. The online version is a demo for the iPhone version which is due to be out soon. Stay tuned to VGTribune for a review of Canabalt when it launches!
For the meantime, you can head on over here and try to beat our current score of 1466 meters!
