Can't get enough of Flight Control? Try directing some Trains!
It's always the case isn't it? Once your idea gets popular, there'll be a bunch of other people out there wanting to cash in on your success too. Zagg, a company that produces mobile electronics accessories is jumping into the mobile application market, and they're starting off by developing a Flight Control rip-off for the iPhone called Trains. The announcement comes from a press release from Zagg which doesn't hold back on the…
...well, according to Firemint, anyway!
The Melbourne studio has just completed some additional content for their #1 iPhone game, Flight Control, as well as released their eagerly anticipated, socially connected and technically astounding racer, Real Racing. It looks like the recent success and the crazy cash that followed from their iPhone experience has steered the studio towards digital downloadable games. You can see from a recent update on their website, they're not too shy to claim so…
As gamesites review and provide their impressions of the newly released Sims 3 for the iPhone, you'd be hard pressed to find anything about the local game developer who made the extraordinary accomplishment of cramming such a large scaled game onto a mobile platform, complete with intuitive touch controls. You could even be forgiven for believing that it was all done by EA mobile too. A quote at Venturebeat.com from an EA producer gives a rather misleading impression on who exactly developed…

I don't know how they top themselves year after year, from giant enemy crabs, Riiiidge Racer (remember that one), to the awkward Warhawke controller presentation, there's always something to chuckle about regarding e3 presentations. This one is, however, quite honestly the funniest clip to ever come from e3.
WELL BAM there it is - REMIX from jaroshbarksdale on Vimeo.
When it was noticed that L.A Noire had slipped to a 2009 release date back in 2007, many would have hoped to see some showing of the thriller / detective game by the time E3 popped up this year. Unfortunately, publisher Rockstar has confirmed to Eurogamer that they'll be showing nothing at all at the event, so a glimpse of the highly anticipated Team Bondi game is highly unlikely.
What is even more curious is that those eagle eyed people at Rockstarwatch.net have noticed that L.A Noire isn't…

Greetings,
I would like to present the first demo build for the Tower City game play prototype. I do stress this is a work in progress. We still have many months ahead of us to make this prototype demo awesome.
You can download the demo from here!
We're just 1 month into production into the project, and being an online based team things can take time to come together. But what we can present is the beginnings of our prototype demo.
This build showcases a few simple but very important things:
