The Last Week of Movember

0

As noted in the previous article : ROCKSTAR SPONSORS MOVEMBER

This marks the last week of the month known as Movember – the annual celebration of the moustache, highlighting and raising money in support of men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer.

Movember participants: stay strong and continue to spread the word to your friends and family to pledge their support.

Make sure you’re also signed up for the Red Dead Redemption Movember Event, for your moustie to be immortalized in our forthcoming 2010 Western epic, Red Dead Redemption.  We’ll be sifting through the entrants starting in one week’s time when the contest period ends, and announcing the winner sometime in December.

We encourage everyone else out there, gentlemen and ladies, to support this great cause by contributing a donation at www.movember.com.

Super Mario Kart coming to the Wii – Virtual Console next week !!

I think that the original Super Mario Kart is still the best Mario Kart of all time.  I remember playing this with family and friends till my fingers hurt, learning each secret and shortcut and dont get me started on the play player multiplayer matches !!! Well if your like amd think that Mario Kart is also Super cool then you’re in luck. The classic racer will be available on Virtual Console next week, along with two other highly-requested games.

Rumor has it that Super Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. and Pilotwings are also  on their way to the Wii’s Virtual Console service, which should be welcome news for fans who have been waiting for the games since launch. All three games will be available for 800 Wii Points ($8) each.

These three games are regarded as classics, with Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. having kicked off two of Nintendo’s top franchises.

Nintendo will be getting the ball rolling by launching Mario Kart next week, with Pilotwings and Super Smash Bros. to follow “sometime this holiday season.” Get ready to start throwing some RED SHELLS once again !! Woooo Hooooo !!!

Gameloft cuts Android investment

0

Mobile games company Gameloft is reducing the amount of money invested in developing titles for Google’s Android platform.

Gameloft’s finance director Alexandre de Rochefort said, “We have significantly cut our investment in Android platform, just like… Many others.”

Apparently part of the problem is the Android’s application store just can’t match up to its biggest competitor. “It is not as neatly done as on the iPhone,” de Rochefort said. “Google has not been very good to entice customers to actually buy products. On Android nobody is making significant revenue.”

“We are selling 400 times more games on iPhone than on Android,” he added. During the last financial quarter, iPhone games accounted for 13 per cent of Gameloft’s revenue. No figure was given for Android games, but presumably it was whatever one four-hundredth of 13 per cent is

This just goes to show that my statement about 3 months ago that the iPhone is the future of mobile gaming.  It will only get bigger and better as more big software developers make their way in and tap into the market and also find out how much potential the iPhone has in developing entertaining and innovative video games.  Anyone that has a iPhone enjoy it and all the cool games that are being released on it.  Everyone else that doesn’t have one .. What are you waiting for .. go out there and get one now !! 😉

Skater Nation – iPhone coming out SOON !!

Gameloft will be bringing to you the most realistic skateboarding simulation is coming to the AppStore !

Check out the trailer below and get ready to do some major grinding :
