    @dimadelux: Yeah I always thought that the touchscreen is ideal for a RTS, certainly more so than a FPS. Isn't that what you always wanted to (and really were) doing in a PC version. Touching touch the base to build and touch to where you want them to move to. Group by dragging, etc.

    I'm surprised there haven't been more good ones yet.

    To the person who is able to play this efficiently without pulling their hair out: good on you. Personally, I wouldn't touch an RTS on a full fledged console, much less the iPhone with it's one friggin button.

    Full keyboard for me, please.

    @deathbob: I would most definitely sooner take a desktop with a portable power supply, 22" monitor and full keyboard and mouse on the subway than I would play an RTS on an iPhone.

    I start feeling cramped if my Firefox window doesn't fill most of the screen. I could not handle a Zerg rush in my palm.

    I got in on the beta for this one. Last game I'll ever play on my iPhone. The real motion controls are what did me in. Ended up tossing a 60 yard bomb. Phone was intercepted, and the dude wouldn't give it back. He said he was keeping the "Game Ball". Most expensive Madden ever.

    Don't even get me started on what happened when my buddy tested FIFA.

    Are those actual in-game graphics of a Madden game? Wow, that looks pretty damn good. The last one I have is for the Wii which obviously doesn't put out these kinds of graphics. I'm assuming this one is either Xbox360 or PS3?

    @Skeetz: You know what, that wouldn't actually be too bad. Sometimes it's much better if they simplify games rather then make them too complex. This is especially true for a device like the iPhone where the control scheme can be very challenging. I love Tecmo Bowl

    As long as they include a Telestrator feature in Madden, this will be a huge success.

    Drawing all over the screen while doing my best Madden impersonation would give me hours of entertainment.

    In reply to Nintendo Wii MotionPlus Hands On: One Year, Three Games Later
    Everything that you're saying about how Wii MotionPlus doesn't augment the game that much or depends on the developer applies to Sony and Natal too. You could theoretically win all sorts of precise Sony motion games with waggle, or win a game in Natal by flailing your arms. It all depends on software, and at this point there is next to no software for any of these new technologies.


    If Natal or Sony had some killer franchise game to go with their new hardware (like Nintendo is apt to do with Zelda) then that could conceivably turn the tide their way.

    Sounds well and good, but when you mention that, "maybe even the new Zelda will require MotionPlus", it pisses me off that an accessory will be required to play a game (for a franchise that I happen to love).


    If it were something that translated well to previous games then I would be slightly more enthusiastic about it, but as it stands, I probably won't be playing the new Zelda for a couple of years (when I can find it used, and MotionPluses are lying on the street for anyone to pick up).
