The news about Capcom's intention to release Street Fighter IV on the iPhone and iPod Touch this month is intriguing, to say the least. The very idea of the ambitious fighting game running on the iPhone has my heart split in two directions.

In a month filled with triple-A iPhone titles like Transformers G1: Awakening, Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front, Parachute Ninja, and Artist Colony, two games stood out for us as the best of the best. One has vegetarian zombies, and the other has lots of puns about "ore".

I've learned two truths since Apple announced the iPad last month. First, like teenagers, big-name hardware and software developers are currently obsessing over objects and anatomy that sit below the human equator (Wii, iPad, Google Buzz). Let's hope they grow out of it. Second, any major announcement by Apple spurs the rest of the handheld electronics industry to trip over each other in their drive to tell the rest of the world that Apple poses them no threat.
