Rovio as a good and bad week, Hobo with a Shotgun brings the 80′s arcade goodness, GameLoft is cloning WoW, Nintendo does or doesn’t hate indie, and Bulletstorm is a redneck supermodel. All on this episode of the Fruitygamer podcast!
The ground shook, Hell froze over and Chip bought an iPad 2. He gives his impressions, including the overall zippiness of the device, the crapitude of the onboard cameras, and the awesomeness that is Flipboard.
We also covered new versions of Infinity Blade and Dead Space for iOS, the arty Sword and Sworcery (due in a week), and gave our impressions of iOS 4.3. A lengthy digression about Twitter and SXSW finally ended up with what we’ve been playing, which ranges from a running app to an over the top sociopathic killfest. Fun!
Technical difficulties nearly felled the podcast this week, but your favourite Mac gaming nerds soldiered on, discussing the new iPad, the potential of Airplay to usurp the console space, why the Sony NGP is “dead on arrival,” and why the iPad might be the best gaming system ever. At least according to one developer at GDC.
