You know what was the biggest name is gaming before IPhones? TI-84 calculators. Man everyone had one and played tetris or breakout. I still don't see how i-phones are the bext big anything in portable gaming. Most phones play games of some kind and have for years. My droid plays them just like the iphone. I don't get why the iPhone is everything. Like we forget anything else exists or is rather popular.

Objective-C needs to die in a fire anyway. What a load of dreck.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

The iPhone has actually become a serious gaming system. Somehow.

It still boggles my mind.

 

[Tharticus]

Yep, the iPhone is the next portable game system.

I wonder how crazy people will go for the next Apple invention, the iTablet?

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

I noticed the return of 'cinematic' and 'compelling'...
Heh.
Still, I suppose it is surprising how well the iPhone is doing as a portable gaming platform...

Another hilarious episode of ENN. Good job guys and girls.

DELETED

 

[Simalacrum]

And thus, nothing is ever heard of from the LRR team ever again, save "bloops" and "beeps" from their hypnotic iPhones...

Funny stuff! I never realised Apple spokes people had been replaced with ROJO...

 

[Distorted Stu]

I lol'd at the Doom on the microwave.
I see what they mean about the iPhone, last week i had a go at some of my friends games on there and now whenever i see him i demand his phone just so i can play some thing thats crap. Its amazing! D:

 

[DazZ.]

Peggle noises!
That's all I need to boot it up again.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

Ha. Awesome episode. Key moments for me:
- Actiblizzion
- Doom Microwave
- iPhone hypnosis

 

[Melancholy_Ocelot]

It can be rather addictive. The whole reason I bought an iTouch was because I need something to do while I poop...and I can't carry a book around at work.

 

[_Janny_]

Wait, what was that reference they used during the Heavy Rain segment? It sounds so familiar... Also, that dog at the end is adorable!

Thats exactly what I use my iPhone for these days...
Although I have been getting into alot of trouble at work for the length of my toilet breaks.

 

[Yaxley]

I was actually a little disappointed that the pre-lights intro segment wasn't paid off at the end. But then, given Graham's reaction, maybe I should be okay with that.

 

[obex]

Halfway through this review i picked up my i-phone and started playing Bejewelled 2 i did not realise the irony until i heard them playing it at the end

 

[Trafs]

Totally true

Stark is pretty good at Peggle, by the sounds of things :3

 

[dex-dex]

and this is why i do not have an iPhone
i will not join you!

You know how crazy people go for sales on Black Friday?

I like myself some Macs, but the iPhone never really caught my interest as a gaming platform.
