Game Developers Conference (the kids "in the know" call it GDC) got underway earlier this week. In between the drinking and the schmoozing, there was a bit of time to take a look at what developers are brewing in their basements. Beard-stroking and solemn conversation about the state of the game industry followed.
In recent updates, Doodle Bomb has made a couple of great improvements. One of these is the inclusion of OpenFeint, which adds online leaderboards and achievements. The developer also recently added 15 new master levels, which include an anti-gravity gameplay mechanic. This works well with the current gameplay and makes for some interesting challenges.
This week at GDC, Lucasarts announced that Monkey Island 2: Special Edition will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade, PC, PS3, and iPhone and iPod Touch this summer. At the same time, Telltale Games, makers of the Tales of Monkey Island games, said they have no plans to bring their games to the iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad quite yet.
In a free update coming in late April, the Australian time-management strategy game Train Conductor will introduce three new levels set in the United States. We got to play two of these levels at GDC: New York City's subways and tracks that span the Grand Canyon.
Back when Hudson Soft was still an independent videogame publisher and not just a subsidiary of Konami, they put out a game on the TurboGrafx-16 called Military Madness, or in some parts of the world, Nectaris. Along with the Advance Wars predecessor Famicom Wars, Military Madness was an early example of a great console turn-based strategy game. However, while Nintendo’s franchise flourished, Hudson’s went somewhat dormant. Now, Military Madness is back on several platforms, including the iPhone. But has its time passed?
After the puritanical purge last month, you might think that your chances of finding pictures of scantily clad women on the App Store are slim. Sure, we all heard that apps like Playboy and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2010 survived the banishing, but that's hardly enough. So we did some digging and unearthed a few more sexy gems for you to get your mitts on. Without further ado, we present five apps that can still give you some decent booty for your buck.

In his previous iPhone adventure, De Blob colored his city and saved the population from the color-hating INKT Corporation. But that was only the beginning. In Revolution, everybody’s favorite superhero blob is infiltrating INKT’s color-erasing factories to save his fellow city dwellers. While the sequel doesn’t retain the “open-area” feel of the original, the randomly generated puzzles found here offer great entertainment.
If you're into mythical creatures and can't wait for the upcoming film How to Train Your Dragon, then fly on over to the App Store and grab up the iPhone game tie-in. Developed by Glu, this is basically a re-skin Glyder and Glyder 2, which, if the reviews of those are any indication, is not a bad thing. But before you click "buy," be warned that How to Train Your Dragon dispenses with certain videogame conventions like diversity of gameplay and any sense of challenge at all.
A kiwi is a flightless bird native to New Zealand. The average kiwi is about the size of a chicken, mates for life, and dreams endlessly about soaring to the final frontier. Okay, if you present Fly Kiwi, Fly! as scientific fact in your biology class, you're going to end up in summer school. Just sit back and enjoy the game for what it is: A goofy side-scrolling flight game for the iPhone and iPod Touch that's full of fun, personality, and the power of love and dreams.
iPhone gamers love options. After all, there are tens of thousands of them competing for the dollars in your games budget. With that in mind, Bulkypix and Magic Pockets have an offer for you: Take Call of Duty: World At War: Zombies, subtract about six or seven dollars from the price tag, add more zombies, OpenFeint high scores, and bring the setting up to modern times. It may not have online multiplayer, but that still sounds like a good deal to us.
Should you think 2D shooters has been executed in every possible way, Engineous Games wants you to think again. Sketch Nation Shooter isn’t about having you play a predetermined set of levels created by the developers. Sure, that element is there, but the crux of this experience is based on providing users the playground to deliver their own visions and sharing them with the world.
