Zero Punctuation: iPhone Games
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw

Breathing on Mars is quite easy. As for iPhone games, I don't know, what you described there hardly seems innovative. It's just that the indie market who've been making those games for ages now have moved from making them for PC/internet (and making no money off it) to making their colons spacey enough for Apple to get some cash from the whole thing.
Don't get me wrong, I don't disapprove, hell, I might end up there myself for a while at least, considering I'm going after the games industry, but it's just that I don't consider those things to be "real" games due to their simplicity and lack of pretty shiny things on a big screen. To quote GTA SA "I know, I'm a shallow person - drown me". But to be frank, you had a sort of a similar point of view when you were reviewing Sims 3.

Well, this thread is boringly predictable; gamers avoid or dismiss anything Apple. Of course, that's cause gamers are boringly predictable. The funniest thing I've observed about the Apple hatred is that it's mostly people who have been dealing with computers for 5 years or less. Take anyone who's been in IT for 15 years or more, and their response is usually "went Mac and never looked back at anything else." After a while, you learn a very important lesson about computers(and machines in general): you choose either to have the machine work for you, or you end up working for the machine.
Dear Dr. Yahtzee,
The trick is to get degrees in Physics and Aerospace Engineering, join up with NASA and then recruit everyone with any ambition or motivation in the company for your own side project when you realize nothing's fucking happening in this institution anymore.

Breathing on Mars is not too big a technical challenge. I for one have a hydroponic garden for my O2 needs. I get the water from polar ice caps and fertilize the plants with reclaimed organic material and chemical fertilizers manufactured from local resources. All of it is powered by wind turbines and batteries.

Wow there are more of us on mars than i thought there were, and incidentally i created a giant air dome that now houses four cities.
But anywho, nice review it was a breath of fresh air and a welcome change to all the mainstream games (not that i don't like them it's just nice is all to see something a bit different).

I don't own an iPhone since I have a Droid but have played iPhone/iPad games on my boyfriends stuff. I personally prefer Plants VS Zombies to Angry Birds though my boyfriend loses himself in Angry Birds frequently when he isn't sucked into Fallout New Vegas. :0
