Another week, another six games to medlify! Yes, that's a word. We're trying to bring a little more pizazz to the feature by seeking out the App Store's strange and wondrous; this time around, we've got the world's most difficult bicycling game, a little something from the halcyon days of the Atari 2600, and one of the iPhone's three (and counting) beer pong simulators!

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday... Isn't there something we're supposed to do on Wednesdays? Could it have something to do with choosing six or so new iPhone games (most of which have been submitted by developers), writing them up, and running them back-to-back in a special video feature?

Features, Interviews
Trip Hawkins, one of the video games industry's true elder statesmen (he has a spot in the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame, alongside Shigeru Miyamoto, Yu Suzuki, Will Wright, and Sid Meier), is known in part for his keen historical insights on the business of gaming.

Mobile Gaming Is Dead. Long Live iPhone Gaming!
Tags:
Features
Mobile gaming--by which I mean your ability to download and play games on a basic feature phone--has been a technological reality for about ten years and commercially viable for about six or seven, depending on who you ask. That's a pretty long time, at least by the standards of electronic entertainment. On the console side, it spans the distance between the PlayStation 1 and the PlayStation 3; the entire arc of Microsoft's plan to build a profitable video games division; four increasingly controversial Grand Theft Autos; and Nintendo's heroic cycle from fading also-ran to casual gaming...
10 iPhone Games We Hope Will Exist Someday

Okay, okay. We realize that we're seriously late to the table with this article. Every other iPhone gaming site wrote one weeks ago, so it's kind of obligatory for a newcomer like us to throw our hat into the ring, too. Luckily, we started thinking about this issue as soon as we had played our first handful of iPhone games. "This Match-3 game is awesome," we shouted, startling passers-by, "but we can also think of at least ten awesome games that should be ported to the iPhone posthaste!" We hurried home...
