NBA Jam iPhone Review

NBA Jam just hit the app store and so far I would say that the game is fantastic. It goes for 4.99 which is a very reasonable price point. The graphics look great with very detailed and well animated players. The game runs silky smooth on my iPhone 4. My only complaint as far as the graphics goes is that the court seems a little dark. Nothing that impacts gameplay but I would like to see things a bit brighter in an update. The controls are spot on and are easy to use despite not having physical buttons. I never felt like the controls were getting in the way. The sounds are amazing with all the great one liners that you would expect from a Jam game.

Overall I am very impressed so far in my limited time playing. I recommend that you check it out for sure!

Update: I have completed 8 play now games and am still loving this game. The one thing I have noticed is that it is taking about 7 percent of my battery life per game played. I am playing with 3 minute quarters so depending on how long you set the game for and of course how healthy your battery is your mileage may vary.

NBA Jam IPhone

EA is bringing NBA Jam to the iPhone. I am very excited about this. I loved this game on the Sega Genesis and have been waiting for a on the go version for a long time. I skipped the latest version on the 360 but I will get this for sure as soon as it arrives on the app store.

Angry Birds Seasons

The new update to Angry Birds Seasons just came out today for the iPhone. It is called Hogs and Kisses and is a valentines theme. Lots of hearts and pig cupids but if you can get by that it has some really challenging new levels.

One really interesting thing you may notice is when you fail a level there is a new button to get hints from the Internet. What is interesting about that is the button is a Bing and Decide button which brings the user to the mobile Bing search site. Pretty neat idea on Microsofts part to partner with the dev to get their search engine in front of millions of eyes.

Angry Birds Super Bowl Commercial Secret

To gain access to the special golden egg go to level 13-12 which is part of the new Hang em High levels. Shoot the first yellow bird anywhere. Next shoot the white bird backwards and drop the egg to hit the ledge sticking out of the back of the hill. Hit it in the right place and you will get the secret golden egg to play the hidden Rio level.

Angry Birds

There was a free update this morning for Angry Birds that adds 15 new levels to the Hang em High stage. The levels are quite challenging and will keep even the most avid player busy for days trying to get 3 stars.

Remember to watch the Super Bowl add for the upcoming film Rio to find a secret code to unlock a special level in Angry Birds.

Also, next week there will be a Valentines Day update to Angry Birds Seasons that will be free for those of us who already own it.

I personally cannot get enough of this great game so I can't wait for all the additional levels to play!

EGM is back!!

Back in the day EGM was king. It was the best video game magazine out there by far. Near the end, I have to admit, they kind of lost their way. When Ziff Davis finally pulled the plug last year I cannot say that I was too upset. Now EGM has been brought back from the grave by the original creator Steve Harris!!

The new EGM will be a combination digital and print formats. Each month you will receive a print issue supported weekly by digital issues. Sounds like a great way for the magazine to stay current! So hit the link and SUBSCRIBE!!!

App Store 3G Download Size Increased to 20 MB

I was just poking around the app store today looking for something to play during my lunch break and noticed something new. I was attempting to download the Asphalt 5 demo and received a message that the app size limit is 20MB instead of the usual 10MB!! Not sure when the size limit was increased to 20MB but it is sure nice to see Apple and ATT bumping up the size limitation.

Origins Of Mafia Family Codes

If you are a fan of Aftershocks MMO's for the iphone then you need to download their new Origins Of Mafia. It currently carries a $2.99 price tag which some may not like but considering that I have played their other games for free for hundreds of hours I think 2.99 is a fair price to pay.

Luckiest Baby Ever!

Wow, this baby has to be the luckiest on Earth. A six month old baby took a tumble off a train platform just as the train was pulling into the station. The baby and carriage were dragged about 30 feet down the tracks and the baby survived! You have to take a look at the video. It is painful to watch knowing that it is real but just remember that the baby is ok.


Train runs over baby.

Host a Windows 7 House Party!

Feel like hosting the ultimate nerd party??? Then go ahead and sign up for your chance to host a Windows 7 launch party. I signed up and it appears that you need at least 10 friends to qualify. What is Microsoft thinking? A person that wants to throw a Windows 7 launch party most likely does not have 10 friends. Oh well, I guess if I am picked I will have to trick some folks into coming over and then surprise them while I teach them the all the benefits of Windows 7!

XBOX Elite for $299 at Walmart

Well, as expected, Microsoft looks to have lowered their XBOX 360 Elite package to the $299 price point. Check out the link to read Engadget's article on an upcoming Walmart add. I am a HUGE 360 fan so I do like to see the price drop but to be honest after the 299 PS3 Slim package the Elite is looking a bit overpriced still. The Elite lacks the Blu-ray player and it will cost you another 50 bucks to play online. The Live experience may be superior but there is a lot to love with the PS3 Slim. Dare I say I may even be picking one up?

iPhone - Castle Wolfenstein

EA recently released Castle Wolfenstein RPG for the iPhone. It is a turn based action/RPG. The game is absolutely a blast to play. The graphics are fantastic with crisp, coloful textures and a ton of great details. It is currently priced at $4.99 which is an absolute steal for the quality of game you are getting. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is even mildly interested in action/RPG games. You will not regret the purchase!

XBOX 360 Live Beta update is now available

For those of us that signed up for the beta of the new XBOX 360 Live preview the update is now available. The most anticipated feature, at least by me, is the new Netflix update which will allow users do do a whole lot more with their subscription including watching movies together over Live.

I will post my thoughts later tonight. Stay tuned!

Bing it at Bing.com!!

That's right! I said Bing it, not Google it. Why would I say such a thing you ask? Well, the answer is simple my friends, Microsoft released their new search engine Bing on June 1st and it is AWESOME! As many of you already know I am a pretty big fan of Microsoft products, especially as of late with Office 2007, Windows 7 and now Bing which have all surpassed my expectations. What I want to ask you all here is to give Bing.com a chance. What do you have to lose? In the end you may just find out what I already know, Bing is the bomb.

Windows 7 Release Date

Xbox 360- Tiger Woods 10 Demo

I finally got around to downloading the demo on Live last night and after playing for about an hour I came away very impressed. I know EA is evil and they put out the same games each year with minor improvements just to get another 60 bucks from us. My friend, let's call him Stan, will not even look at another Tiger Woods game. For me, this is one franchise that I do not mind supporting year after year.

The demo only has 4 courses. Two from Bethpage Black and two from Turnberry. Right from the first fly over I can see an improvement in the graphics. Everything just looks so much more real this year. A whole new lighting scheme adds to the graphics and there are times when this looks almost like a real golf broadcast. This year EA also included weather in the game so there are times when you will be playing in the rain. There are some nice effects when it is raining too. The ball will create little splashes when it hits the fairway just like in real life. The rain also drastically changes putting. When it is raining hard you really need to put a lot of extra power into your putt. The ball also creates a trail of water as it rolls to the hole which looks great.

I am going to play some more this weekend and will add more information to this post if I find other stuff worth mentioning. I can say for a fact that this is a must buy for anyone who loves golf.

Dangers in the workplace

Wow, this is great. An AT&T employee was cleaning out a refrigerator with old moldy food in it and it sickened 28 people!! We have a nasty refrigerator where I work and I am just waiting for the day that it send us all to the hospital!! When you have a hundred people storing their nasty leftovers in the same place it is only a matter if time before this will happen.
