Quake 3 Arena Ported to iPhone; Let the Networked Games Commence

Holy butt-clencher, Batman! Quake 3 Arena has somehow found itself ported to the iPhone. Details are thinner than my scalp is on hair, but the video clearly shows a networked game going on in full swing. You may be thinking this sounds semi-neat, but let me tell you this; the game uses the freaking accelerometer for direction control, while shooting is done simply by tapping on the touchscreen. Now, I'm off to collapse in a euphoric pile, you check out the video and then do the same. There's no word on the release yet, but hopefully it will show up somewhere once I am out of my aforementioned, euphoric pile state. We'll keep you posted. [Crunchgear]

Trakonya Mutator Force Feedback Device Makes You Pay for Bad Gaming Skills

The Trakonya Mutator attaches to a gamer's wrist and will then shock said gamer if they screw up in-game. The device only functions with Unreal Tournament for now, but wider support is in the pipe works; next stop? Half Life—nice. We can think of a ton of games this type of self inflicted punishment would work well with, but for $59, we're going to need wider support than just Unreal Tournament out of the box. Still, couple this with the 3rd Space Vest and you'll be sure to end each gaming session with a flurry of bruises and fond memories. Bliss. [Product Page via Everything USB]

Microsoft Xbox 360 XNA Game Studio 2.0 Available, Adds Multiplayer Support

Microsoft XNA Game Studio, the user-creation tool that allows you to make Xbox Live Arcade-quality games for the Xbox 360, has just been upgraded to 2.0. The most interesting improvements in the new version are the multiplayer networking APIs, which means you can actually create games like Jason Chen's Big Boob Robots that take advantage of Xbox Live's network support. Other than this, it's mostly improvements for developers that aren't that exciting for people who just want to play homebrew games. [MSDN]

Giant Golf-Labyrinth Game For Sale

Do you like golf? Do you like Labyrinth games? Do you have a HUGE house? If you answered yes to those three questions then you might just be in the market for one of these. Its a scaled up version of a Labyrinth game, and was created as a mini-golf hole that used golf balls rather than ball bearings—if you managed to complete the game in one go you got a hole-in-one.

The Wii Crane Game

Those Jersey residents really love their crane game. First there was the iPhone Crane Game where you had to throw down $5 per try, and now there's the Wii crane game, where you can get the chance to pick yourself up one Nintendo console for $2. We're not sure how many Wiis have been won in this gigantic Wii crane game, but now we know why we can't ever find one in stores. [Crave via Kotaku]

Latest by MaxPayne3476: Wait are these the actually CRANE FOR WIIs or no? Cause I know Seaside (where this most likely is) had the coach purses going for. The Never-Pay-Out is just a lawsuit waiting to happen. "Smash n grab waiting to happen." Pft, not more »

New Lost Game for iPod Teletransported From the 90s

Just in time for the season finale, Apple today posted a Lost game for iPod in the iTunes Music Store. The game reminds me a bit of the old Monkey Island graphic adventures, although I doubt it has the same wacky and wonderful dialog of Guybrush Threepwood and company. However, $4.99 will buy you some Jack role-playing as you try to help people on the island while escaping from The Others. Nice to see other kind of games coming to the iPod, but call me back when I can play Secret of Monkey Island using the SCUMM system in the iPhone's touchscreen. – Jesus Diaz

Latest by strangepork: @ mrsalty Uh, the game costs $5 on your phone, too. And Apple IS sticking it to you because not only is the game old, and a mobile phone port, but it's lousy. Nice try, though. more »

Packing all my chargers before trips has become completely ridiculous, so I'm pretty excited at the Philips 5-in-1 Universal Game Charger. It allows you to charge 4 Nintendo handhelds (DS, DS Lite, GBA, and GBA Micro) as well as the PSP. More »

Early Nintendo DS Headset Photos Tune in Mario


Here are some of the first beauuutiful photos of the DS Lite headset. Japan only now, but when and if it comes stateside, we'll have a great way to talk some major trash over Metroid via WiFi...or whatever games support it. Jump for more photos.–Brian Lam

Doraemon Game With Strap-On Helecopter Hat

Doraemon fans rejoice! The "takekoputa"—a Japanese combination of some word and helicopter—allows you to fly around in a game using only your head. How so? Well, instead of using the controller, you strap on the helecopter and lean forward, back, left or right to control Doraemon as he's flying through the air. More »
