iPhone’s Siberian Strike on sale now for a buck

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on May 18, 2009 by MarkEightThree

And it’s awesome. If you’re a fan of overhead warplane shooters like 1942 or Raptor: COS, then you should have picked up this game already. With FMV sequences, 3D graphics, full voice-overs and multiplayer, this iPhone/touch arcade title is a huge steal at 99 cents, especially since it debuted at $5.99 only a few weeks ago. There’s no expiry date for the sale on the game’s iTunes page, but it is a limited offer so you should hop to it fairly quick.

Sights from the Jays vs. the Yankees

It’s been almost ten years since I’d been to a Jays game, so with the birds atop the standings and tearing things up in the AL East, I decided to check out a game against the Yanks with some friends. It was an awesome time and if the Jays continue to kick ass I just might be back at the Rogers Centre before 2019.

Marvel casts it’s next Avenger

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has won the title role of Marvel’s Thor, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily. Hemsworth was most recently seen as the father of Captain Kirk in the awesome reboot of the Star Trek franchise. Filming will begin in January, with a release date of June 17, 2011 set for the viking tale. With Hemsworth in the role of Thor it’s likely he’ll play the character in any subsequent Avengers flicks alongside Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and Ed Norton’s Hulk.

I’m not sure how the filmmakers are going to approach the concept of Thor on the big screen as it could be either epic or incredibly cheesy. I’m hoping they go for a look that’s ripped straight from the reels of Zack Snyder’s 300, with Thor being a total badass in the spirit of Gerard Butler’s Leonidas.

Capcom has released Resident Evil Degeneration to the iTunes AppStore for the non-horrific price of $6.99. After a quick 20 minute play through of the games first chapter I can happily report that the Resident Evil franchise actually works on Apple’s platform. This third-person shooter based on the CG flick of the same name takes most of it’s cues from Resident Evil 4, which isn’t a bad idea considering how many accolades that title recieved. Here’s hoping a few more titles from the series take up residency. Sorry, I just had to! More pictures posted after the break.

MyBrute bringing portable beatdowns to the iPhone

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on May 9, 2009 by MarkEightThree

According to iPhone gaming site iPhoneOtaku.com, the team at Bulkypix might be porting over their super-addictive online RPG MyBrute. It was only recently that I stepped into the arena but I think I might have already been bitten by the MyBrute bug. If the iPhone/touch version is able to recreate this experience on the go I’ll be grabbing this on launch day. In the meantime, show me what you got!
