[読んだ] Baseball Slugger Updated – New Look & Feel | Just Another iPhone Blog

OptionButtons

Baseball Slugger – which I reviewed HERE and which has become my favorite iPhone game – has just had an update, to Version 1.1.0.

This update offers a ‘new and simple UI’. The fantastic gameplay has not been altered – but the game does look a little easier to navigate.

 

Having Items listed right on the bottom of the main screen is a nice new touch, and the main sections buttons along the top of the main screen also work well. 

アップデート来ました!
今一番ハマってるゲームアプリ、そして今iPod touchに入ってる唯一のゲームアプリ、Baseball Slugger
メニューまわりが分かりやすくなったみたいですね!

[読んだ] Gameloftも99セント市場へ参入か? | iPhone 3G Wiki blog

これは、ちょうどEAのマイクロスタジオ「8lb Gorilla」による99セントゲームと同様の展開になるようです。ただし、恐らくゲーム内容は99セント分の価格に抑えられるだろうということで、EAに続きGameloftという大手パブリッシャーによる低価格アプリ市場への参入が続くことは、中小デベロッパーの脅威になる可能性もあるといえます。

ユーザーにとっては低価格で高品質のゲームを楽しめるのはいいことなんですけどね……。

[読んだ] Always Getting Beat Down In iPhone Racing Games? Try Using A Steering Wheel : App Advice

If you are one of those people who just can’t seem to master holding your iPhone in the air during a racing game while also tilting and steering, there just may be some hope for you after all.

CTA Digital has created a plastic housing that turns your device into a mini steering wheel.  It works with the iPhone, iPhone 3GS, first-generation, and second-generation iPod touch.  It’s an extremely simple device and it resembles those silly Wii remote accessories, but it may actually be useful for a small, select group of people. Probably those of you who don’t game while on-the-go, because who would want to lug around a giant plastic steering wheel?

冗談かと思いきや結構マジメに作ってますね。

果たして売れるんでしょうか。

Gomi is kind of a mash-up of a variety of games, including Rolando, Katamari, and maybe a little Super Mario Galaxy.  In Gomi, the world has been overrun by civilization and you must clean it up by rolling your Gomi over anything and everything in its path.  The game is a 2D platformer that has you traveling through eight unique worlds with over 140 stages.  According to the developer, the game contains over 12 hours of gameplay, eight mini games, hundreds of achievements, online leader boards, hundreds of customizable Gomis, and over one hour of original music.  That’s a whole lot of content to keep you rolling.

Remixが出たと思ったら今度はChampionship Editionですか。
ナムコもチカラ入ってますね。

My favorite game this week (besides Baseball Sluggers… I’m still hooked) has been the new Space Invaders game from Taito (check out Ritchie’s review here).

まだBaseball Sluggerにハマってるとは親近感おぼえますなぁw
それはそうとスペースインベーダー、かなり面白そう。
