Zero Punctuation: iPhone Games

Answer: Very Carefully (by now, even if you haven't seen the video, all the comments will tell you the question this answers)
Anyways, I find it hard to buy a game that I could probably also get the same sort of design for by going to Newgrounds and carefully hunting (and yes it would be buried somewhere, but I'd probably have to spend the same effort in the appstore as well, and there I'd have to spend money). I'm not against handhelds (god, no my first platform was a gameboy and the first game I ever OWNED was Pokemon. I didn't even get a console until the PS2 finally made the PS1 drop in price, so I know full well how many great games can be made for them), rather I'm against the fact that a lot of these games seem to be the sort of game that, while entertaining, feel more like a minigame. I'd be fine if the platform contained a bit more real games (and yes, I know they exist on there as I've found a sort of FF Tactics game on the games section that contained a story on iTunes), but right now it feel like a hopelessly large home of casual games.
Lastly, I'd like to say that I do enjoy casual games and do actually own a few myself, my problem here is devoting a console to them.

I never expected a iphone video, makes me want to buy an iphone, btw you just bring a lifetime supply of oxygen to live on mars
Wait, he skipped over Sonic Colours because it has a cutscene in it? You mean like nearly every game out there atm? Shit, how will he ever get past that bullcrap AC Brotherhood will throw at him with the space time bending fruit cloning people.
Pretty sure he had another sonic haterant ready that he cannot use because this time it is actually good. Hard to believe I know, I had also lost faith in sega at this point but trust me. It's as close to sonic adventure 3 we'll ever get.

Now you see, the trick to breathing on Mars is tp believe very intensely that everything is going to be alright.
Incidentally i watched his episode on my iphone. Safe to say The Escapist is my favorite "game" on the iphone.
I don't need to breathe on Mars, I sent my Android to bring me back 400 tons of martian soil and that little rover bot.
Because Androids can do that.
And they can run Angry Birds too, I just need to download it now you reviewed it for me.

Nah, I won't be getting an iPhone, I always use Nokia phones. But I might get an iPad or iPod Touch.
Yahtzee didn't mention Rage HD, is it truly as shit as people say?

So, will Sequels Rippoffs and Wank be available for preorder anytime soon?
(I know writing your autobiography when you aren't even 30 is perhaps a bit of an egotrip, but who here really believes videogaming will change so much the title would need to be revised)
