Here is the teaser trailer for Rolando from Handcircus, this is an iPhone/iPod Touch game due out for release this Summer. For a possibly free iPhone game it looks pretty fun, it reminds me a lot of Lemmings and should utilize the touch screen very well. The music in the trailer is pretty good and I hope it makes its way into the final game, it adds a certain flair to the game.
This should be the first of many iPhone/iTouch games to come seeing as game companies have gone as far as opening studios dedicated to this platform.
/>In a recent report, a 12-year-old boy was treated for second-degree burns after a Sony PSP caught fire while in his pocket. Apparently the PSP burned through his pants and burned his skin and to add to the irony the boy was playing Burnout at the time.
I now present to you perhaps one of the funniest quotes ever:
It wasn’t a gradual heat. It really started heating up. He’s always been taught, burn-fire-smoke, you drop and you roll. So, he was in band class and he dropped and rolled.
I can just picture this tard rolling on the floor with a PSP in his pocket screaming. This had also happened to aguy with an iPod, something tells me this kid is now instantly rich and we can expect some kind of PSP recall or statement at the very least.
Nothing official from Sony just yet, but do your jewels a favor and take the PSP out of your pocket and put it in your bag.
In case you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, we setup a custom Webclips icon for the devices. With the firmware updates released yesterday at MacWorld, you can now add Webclips, or shortcuts to web sites, on your homepage.
I went ahead and created a cool little icon to display on the devices instead of showing the page contents. So go fire up your iPhones and iPod Touches and add us as a Webclip. You know you want to
So you have an ipod and are tired of listening to just music, what do you do? Play Sonic of course! Looks like everyone’s favorite spikey blue haired hedgehog is now available on Apple Ipods. You can buy Sonic for $5 or even send him as a gift for those gamers you want to get a Christmas gift for.
I am hoping this starts a big push for more games to come to the Ipod format, but something tells me that this may be a flash in the pan, since there was no support given to an Iphone version of the game.

We all saw this coming. We hoped it would not, but its here. Total Windows and Mac anarchy. At the beginning, you could not play iTunes songs on the Xbox 360. Now, its a total lockout. According to many people and this recent Neogaf forums post, the third generation, or 3G iPod Nano, and iPod touch along with the iPhone, apparently do not sync with the Xbox 360 and are unable to play the music stored on them. They are detected, but are otherwise useless. My question to the readers, is to confirm or deny this report. I have an original Nano and it works fine on the machine. It seems that only the new products are compatible and only the MS mp3 players will work. Anyone who has the new Apple stuff, let us know!
So with all the hype comes great scrutiny and we here at Loot Ninja are no different, we take Forza, flip up it’s hood and poke around until satisfied.
Presentation and Graphics: The game supports 720p graphics, which looked very crisp on a high definition display. The game runs at 60 fps, which is impressive, but unfortunately does suffer from some jaggies like the demo. (but this can be overlooked when you look at the beautiful backgrounds) The presentation of the game is terrific and the car editor functions are outstanding. You can fully customize any car in the game from aerodynamics to engine to pure paint job. I also like that your current car is displayed in the main menus as you choose races. Forza 2 does great as far as presentation goes. 4.5 of 5
Sound and Music: The music in Forza is decent, but I typically just mute the soundtrack, plug in my iPod and turn up the FX sounds. Nothing beats a nice engine rev in 5.1 surround sound with a little bit of Jay Z going in the background. You can actually here the fans cheer as you rev by them. 4 of 5
This past weekend I had the chance to visit two of the coolest technological based stores in NYC, Nintendoworld and the Apple Store.
Nintendoworld is a great store in Rockefeller Center based solely on the Nintendo world, showcasing all of their technology from the DS to their brand spanking new Wii. They have set up wireless download stations for DS demos and stations for you to try out games on the Wii, DS and Gamecube. Aside from the games and game stations there are also very cool displays to show some of the older generations of NES systems through the years, its almost an NES museum, it even has an original Gameboy that was damaged in Iraq and still works. They also have some great gamer shirts, plush toys and figures for you to check out.
Aside from that I also got a chance to check out the Apple iPod store on Fifth Avenue. This thing is impressive from the outside, it has an all glass exterior with a glass elevator that takes you below ground to check out all the latest in iPod and Apple goodies. The store is huge and jam packed with people scooping up iPod accessories and units. If your in NYC I highly recommend checking out both.
We're like Spaceballs... we're making Loot Ninja everything. Coming soon we'll have hats, shirts, hoodies, possibly banana hammocks if one Editor has his way...
Check out the shirt prototypes here and the hats here
