Review: GL Golf is slightly sub-par

One of the first computer video games I ever remember playing was a DOS-based golf game my dad brought home on a set of giant 5″ floppy disks to put on our IBM computer.

Interview with Christina K, the brains and beauty behind Fuzzle

When I think of the words “computer programmer” normally I think of a dorky, pasty male who lives on snack foods and emerges from his basement only to replenish said snacks and occasionally attend a World Wide Developer Conference.

Someone tell Namco you don’t HAVE to charge $9.99 for everything

With the dusting off off of the Arcade classic Pole Position, Namco now has 4 iPhone games available on the iTunes store, all 4 of which are listed at the “imaginary glass ceiling” price of $9.99 (so far the highest price the masses seem to accept for game pricing on iTunes). These are not 5 star games we are talking about here (some rate 1.5 stars) – these are... Read More

First iPhone game cheat discovered! Is this just the beginning?

Pocket Mini Golf 2 coming to the iPhone

We don’t have all that much to go on yet aside from these screen grabs, but it looks like Clickgamer is looking to bring about an iPhone port of their popular Pocket Mini Golf 2 title to the iPhone.
