iphone to get gaming accessories


Controller perhaps?

Okay this is just getting sad, the iphone might have some good iphone games for it. But they will never match the console era, having said that they might threaten the handheld market. But it didn't seem that way with them being touch-only while the DS and the PSP sport buttons and D pad or analog sticks. Now apparently they might remedy this problem with a controller attachment, which would be cheezy.

I can imagine them selling a kit that includes a dock to hold the iphone still if they are stupid enough to make a wired or wireless controller for it. Or a controller that attaches to it, that's great, note the sarcasm. Seriously, the iphone was designed for the ease of carrying it possesses. A latch on controller would be damn hard, probably impossible to stick onto the iphone. I remember trying to carry my DS around with the guitar grip on it, big mistake. I dropped my DS and it was a pain to hold in my pocket, I'd imagine the same could happen to Apple's iphone.

And i'm not forgetting the itouch, but its the same story.

This hype over the iphone being a competitive gaming device has got to end, and I have one big reason how it's going to end. People will not pay the extra money for the extra space in the iphone, and so they will run out of room for games soon.

But man, gaming accessories for a touchscreen cellphone/musicplayer?! that's ridiculous.

Tech Review: Gravity Shmavity (iPhone app)


"The classic love story of a baroque scientist, a bushel of apples, and the addictive, quirky game that brought them together.

This stylish game will have you tilting and tapping your way through 30 challenges that bend the laws of physics. Rotate your screen to alter the direction of gravity while a whole host of hazards and power ups make things very interesting indeed.

Make use of the touch screen, as well as the accelerometer for tilit recognition. Also features remixed classical music, a silly and irreverent sense of humor, and more "awesome" than you can shake a stick at."

Taken from Apple Store.


When I first saw this game, I thought it would be a little boring... Well I was so wrong! I played the first challenge and could not stop! I was tilting my iPod touch all over. The main goal of this game is to bounce apples off Newton's head to gain points. At first, thats all you have to do, nice and easy. But as you progress it starts to get harder with flying arrows, bombs, reverse gravity and more.

Game Rating: 5/5
App Store Rating: 5/5
