Apple isn’t know to be very game friendly, a Mac is a gamer’s nightmare, unless it is the latest iMac. The very popular Apple iPhone is all set to become a rival to the PSP and the Nintendo DS. A new game for the iPhone was recently launched, and as you can see from the video below, it is something really special. As per a report on Shacknews:

Apple has released HD footage of yesterday’s demonstration of Krull, the upcoming iPhone action-adventure game from Digital Legends Entertainment

Krull is expected to hit in September, following the July 11 launch of the new iPhone 2.0 software and 3G iPhones.

Jack Thompson Got Owned. Epic lulz await

Yes you read right, the scourge of gamerkind has finally been smite down by the holy banhammer of the law. Being the verbose bulk of fail that he is, he stormed out of court during his disciplinary hearing as the Judge refused to hear him recite his LOTR -length objection letter as well as arguing about the position of the podium. The court recommends the disbarment of his career for 10 years.

Let me give you a moment to process that, a forty-ish something lawyer arguing about the position of the podium. For more laughs, check out his sincere objection letter here.

Don’t worry Jack, we in India need someone to rein in the censor board. Go for it.

Konami Gags Metal Gear Solid 4 Reviewers

With the hotly anticipated MGS4 just days away from hitting the stores, reviewers of the game revealed that the publisher, Konami had barred them from speaking about what we already knew. Namely lengthy cut-scenes and a 4.64GB installation. These two things however, seem to be the tip of the iceberg:

 According to two anonymous gaming media sources speaking to MTV Multiplayer, Konami representatives asked print reviewers to omit details concerning the cut-scene length and installation size. Moreover, a recently published MGS4 review on IGN UK says that the concessions were made in exchange for a pre-release review.

“In return for letting us play Metal Gear Solid 4 before its release,” wrote IGN UK editor Dave McCarthy. “Konami issued us with a list of things that we’re not allowed to discuss. This list of prohibited topics is pretty long, and even extends as far as several facts that the company itself has already made public.”

Most of these requests are reasonable such as being asked not to talk about the last two levels of Ninja Gaiden 2, popular gaming magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly has taken offense to the massive barrage of restrictions for MGS4. So much so that they’ve carried a roundtable discussion of the game rather than a regular review.

Is this a sign of things to come or is it just standard industry practices coming to light? Watch this space.

Let the selling out begin: Guitar Hero: Metallica Confirmed

Hot on the heels of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith comes another Guitar Hero title, this time featuring Metallica. Scheduled for release in 2009, the details were uncovered in an SEC filing made by Activision.

While this bodes well for the series commercially, one can’t help but feel that this series is being milked to proportions that would make EA’s usual treatment of their franchises seem normal (NFS: ProStreet anyone?).

“In fiscal 2009, we plan to publish Guitar Hero: On Tour for the NDS; Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and Guitar Hero IV across multiple platforms,” the company said in the filing.

The charm of the Guitar Hero series was to play songs from bands you never even heard of rather than bask in the already popular tracks from well-known acts.

According to our sources (the voices in our head) Activision plan to release Guitar Hero: Madonna and Guitar Hero: Britney Spears as soon as possible.

So much for typecasting: Europe and Asia love video games. A Lot

When the fine purveyors of research, Nielsen, announce results of a study, everyone reads. And when they make a particularly astounding discovery when it comes to gamers, you’d be plain stupid not to:

 In a document which revels in shattering stereotypes, there’s some incredible news for the industry’s money men: the European Union is now the second-largest videogaming territory in the world, generating €7.3bn during 2007, compared with €7.4bn in Asia and €6.9bn in the US. This also reflects in the year on figures with UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Scandinavia enjoying an average 25% growth in software sales.

Videogamers are growing up, too, with the UK boasting the most mature players. The average age of an gamer in the UK is now 33 – the highest out of the territories surveyed. In Finland they are, on average 30 while in Spain they are 26.

What does this mean for Indian gamers? Well for starters, publishers club India along with European countries when it comes to game releases as all games officially available here are in the European PAL format (barring a few like Konami, which clubs us with Asia) ,we might just get our games a bit faster than usual. Which is already happening with EA’s games hitting India a mere one week after global releases and Microsoft making sure their 360 games hit the nation at the same time if not faster than the rest of the world.
