Will iPhone 3G S create a divide for mobile gamers?
Jun 10th
Don't let the identical exterior fool you. Apple's latest iPhone iteration is packing some significantly upgraded hardware.
Apple pulled no punches with its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote this year: Its flashy (and affordable) new operating system, Snow Leopard, was priced and dated, and a new line of more powerful and less expensive MacBook Pros was announced. But as usual, the iPhone swooped in at the last minute to steal the show — this time with a brand new model: iPhone 3G S.
Although Apple wasn’t eager to spout specifics at the WWDC keynote, various sources have disclosed the details on the iPhone’s first major performance bump (see AnandTech’s writeup here.) Simply put, the increases in processing power and graphics rendering capabilities mean Apple’s newest device will be capable of greater visual detail, faster rendering and more complex imagery than ever before. It also means that, theoretically speaking, games could be developed that will only run (or run effectively) on the iPhone 3G S.
Review: WordFu (iPhone)
May 4th
It’s a simple premise: You’re given a few cubes with letters on each side of them, and tasked with spelling as many different words with the letters you have until you run out of time.
Sound familiar? WordFu plays a lot like other word games (TextTwist, Bookworm) where you’re presented with a set of letters and tasked with building as many words as possible within a time limit. But thanks to some clever twists on a classic formula, a helping of snazzy graphics and some fantastic score-gloating mechanics courtesy of Facebook and Twitter, WordFu spins an old concept into an engaging and exciting iPhone app that’s sure to captivate the wordie in all of us.
