iGame Radio

PSYCLOPS, developer of iPod cases and the interactive dance and music creating website, has released a new iPhone App…the PSYCLOPS Dance Mixer. The application allows users to create their own music video with a selection of characters, pre-recorded music beats, and animated dance moves. They can also set the mood with an animated background or photo real background, and personalize it with a custom message scrolling across the bottom of the screen.

Though one can only share the music and dance video (in QuickTime format) via email, Joy Kovaleski of PYSCLOPS had already hinted in a previous iGame Radio episode of a competition aspect to come…though I don’t know whether that competition will only be on the PSYCLOPSHQ.com site or on the iPhone app as well. Time will tell!

As a follow-up to my post about gaming today, I also just got in the mail yesterday Feral Interactive’s Black & White 2! Definitely looking forward to installing that game and trying it out. I suspect that more and more my extended desktop is going to get a workout. But geez, the recommended graphics are already slightly over my Macbook Pro’s system specs. So, now I’m gonna have to look into upgrading again soon. Do I look into another Macbook Pro, or ditch my beloved G5 and get a Mac Pro. Ah, decisions, decisions.

I also got a press release about Cake Mania 3 for the iPod…the classic iPod, no less…from Sandlot Games. I veered over to their website to check it out. I mean, if they’ve got it out for the classic iPod, then surely they’ve got a Mac version and I just didn’t hear about it. Nope, my ears didn’t deceive me. They have an iPhone version, and now an iPod version, but still no Mac. C’mon, Sandlot. What’s the deal?

I met the folks at Hudson Entertainment at PAX this year, and got a chance to look at their games, including iPhone games. Well, they’ve also chosen to support the earlier iPods as well, and have just released Lode Runner. This is a classic action puzzle game, in the mode of Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers. The game is available on iTunes right now for $4.99, and can be played on the iPod nano (3rd and 4th generation), iPod classic, and iPod (5th generation).
