Ladies and Gentlemen.

This weeks iGaming feature is brought to you by Dylan Burns. Dylan runs the amazing Pixel Hunt, a free electronic video games magazine. If you haven’t already, check it out here.

Having just discovered the pleasures of iGaming, I’m of two minds regarding the games that have so far been available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. On the one hand, the plethora of games that utilise the iPhone’s touch screen and tilt/shake-sensitive abilities offer a welcome distraction during the monotonous workday. But on the other, it seems to me like there’s untapped potential for developers to create deeper experiences on the platform. …read more

One of the main things that I have noticed in the year that Medianator has been running. Is that the Australian games community fucking rules. Now, I believe I have always been exposed to this fact, but with people like Dylan and Co over at Pixel Hunt it’s hard not to be blown away by their dedication and passion for the art of the video game and the industry itself.

As we mentioned previously, Pixel Hunt is a free monthly gaming magazine, that is available in PDF format and packed with fantastic content and honest reviews. As if that wasn’t enough to get your taste buds all excited, the guys over at Pixel Hunt have something very special planned for their loyal fans. …read more

Welcome to this weeks instalment of iGaming. Where we take a brief but informative look at some of the games that are available on the iPhone/iPod Touch.

This week we take a look at Must.Eat.Birds and Zombies Me.

Must.Eat.Birds:

Well, it’s the start of another week, which means that it is also time for another iGaming installment in which we quickly summarise several iPhone/iPod Touch games. Due to a shorter timeframe this week, we will only be looking at one game: Doom Resurrection.

Doom is a household name when it comes to video games, being one of the most widely celebrated first person shooters of its time. I was a little unsure about what to expect when I loaded up the game for the first time. Would it be just an iPhone version of the classic Doom game? ID did this for Wolfenstein 3D, in the end it worked quite well but as it turns out Doom Resurrection is a completely new adventure, set in the Doom universe and exclusive to the iPhone/iPod Touch. …read more

As mentioned previously, we will be running iGaming as a weekly segment here at Medianator. Each week we will be looking at few iPhone games in smaller, bite sized previews.

This week we will be looking at only one title, which is Mass Effect: Galaxy. …read more

Mobile gaming never really took off for me. Which does surprise me, seeing as I’ve worked in the industry for years. Long enough to see the launch of products such as the monstrosity that was the Nokia N-Gage, to the latest handset that you could very well be using right now - the mobile phone as a gaming platform, to me, just didn’t click.

Then, Apple released the iPhone.

The first iPhone (due to the lack of the App store) wasn’t fully exposed as the gaming platform that it current one is today. Though, games like Tap Tap Tap hinted at what the future would hold for the iPhone. …read more
