  • Are you ready for Portal 2? The excitement is in the air on the Internet, with the ARG, and in Seattle too.
  • The Webby Awards have decided to include handheld and tablet games this year. Take a look at the expected, and not so expected, choices for the categories.
  • Atari released their Greatest Hits from the arcade era onto the App Store, but gamers have given it two stars. Find out why everyone is poo-pooing Atari’s release.
  • A little birdie tweeted in Omaha’s ear that Feral Interactive may be announcing a LEGO game soon…if they are, which one do you think it will be? Omaha gives you her guesses.
  • Omaha talks about games that she’s played in the past week.
  • Do you think iGame Radio should get a new theme song, or stick with the one its got? Weigh in on the new poll, or send in your thoughts to be part of the decision.

    I’m with you on the Atari classics. These games sell for more than this on XBox live by a good bit. It would be easily worth the money if the controls were up to snuff. The controls can be changed, but I agree on the issues. I purchased the entire collection and found much of the Atari 2600 collection to be unplayable on iPad because I could not resize of move the controls. I think coming out with a basic customizable joypad/button option for both the arcade and Atari 2600 would correct this for a lot of people. I am happy that they tried hard for authentic controls, but much of it really is way too difficult to play as it is.
