Even though the iPhone has no problem reaching out to the casual gamer audience, some people still aren’t satisfied with the device or the lack of “real” games. While we would certainly invite you to extrapolate on what you feel constitutes a “real” game, if what you mean is that there aren’t any console-quality games, well, we have news for you. There are quite a few. We’ve touched on great mobile games before such as Shadowgun, and even our favorite Android apps for gamers, now we bring you an iOS-specific list.
It wasn’t too long ago that no one really knew what to do with mobile hardware so you had what equated to carnival games with decent enough varnish – Angry Birds, anyone? However, developers have really gotten to know the hardware and many of your favorite console games you grew up with can now be found on the smartphone. All you need is a smartphone and some familiarity with Internet Service Providers and you could be connected to the web, downloading and playing some great games.
Seriously, make sure your connection can handle it because of some of these are pretty big.

Alright guys, I’m a newbie to PC gaming, all my life I’ve been playing on console and now that Battlefield 3 is coming out and looks GREAT on PC I thought I might be able to add some things to my current desktop.
I have a HP p6680t
Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @2.67GHz (4CPU’s) ~2.7GHz’s
Memory: 8192MB RAM
DirectX 11
Display :ATI Radeon HD 5450
Chip type: ATI display adapter (0x68F9)
DAC Type: Internal DAC (400Mhz)
Total Memory 222 MB
Current display mode: 1600 x 900 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Hardrive: 1 TB
I know my graphics card won’t run BF3 but I was wondering, what can I change to turn this into a gaming compatible desktop? I was thinking of buying a M14x Alienware laptop (by the way, do you guys think the alienware laptops would run BF3 pretty good?) but the price was around $1,200 US which is pretty pricey! So what can I change on my desktop and what do I need to add? I am willing to spend $,200 US but I also want an iPhone 5 so yea I’m still thinking about my budget.
If I do decide on buying an Alienware laptop I am considering getting the M14x, what should I add to it to make it play games at a almost top notch quality?
Informed and even uninformed human beings want to know. Just who are you and where did you come from?
I think the series was on ABC but I am not sure.
I was on the internet when I heard about getting sponsored by a company, so which should I get sponsored by?
The only fact reveiled about the planet, is that humans could breath their air.
Yes, their would be others offered the trip.
Why or why not?
What would the children be like? Or, do aliens make love using brain waves and thoughts?
I never used an iphone. Out of principal i stay away from the things; but i’m purchasing a gift, and need to expertise with the iphone market.
The receiver isn’t really familar with technology. So something that will help their use of the iphone.
bluetooth headsets, large battery pack, leather cases are pretty much out of the question.
What other suggestions do you have?
For example, what does it mean to upload new photos to icloud for the photo streaming feature on the iphone, but not in iphone when icloud is the new facet for iphone. There’s a folder for photos for iphone so it must mean that the upload is sent to iphone right? But how can you tell theses photos be “property” of icloud exclusively when you do not know how it works and it doesn’t have a folder intrisically?
And they are happily looking at us now, while we’re mocking and arguing about our existence.
I remember going into that when I was eight and I still get scared. That’s why I’m so mad they have taken that ride out because it was such an adrenaline rush. scary but fun.
Do you think the jews would except the demands as long as they were left alone to do their own thing.
It does not necessarily have to be aliens. It could be the chinese for example.Just an overwhelming force taking over the world.
Why the fuck would that be C T lol
are we gonna work together despite difference?
Someday we WILL. How would the world act, especially especially the astronomers and scientists, and don’t forget the religious leaders of all faiths-especially them! How would you react especially if the aliens said they could travel to earth to visit?
What if the aliens destroyed all those who are fighting in wars and we were told anyone else who wars will be eliminated from life? Would we finally have peace then?
I have a crazy theory that during the last ice age a small group of eary humans where taken from earth by a group of aliens that thought that this race of self aware beings would become extinct by this hostile environment, so they transplanted them on a world suited to there physiology and left them to there own path on this new world. How would a slight change in the gravity of the planet make a differents in there evolution, say the gravity was 1.37 G’s compaired to that of earth’s 1.0 G environment, would a Parallel evolution happen or would it be a Convergent evolution or would evolution happen at all, i mean 10,000 years since the last ice age isn’t a long time in the grand scale of things, would this be enough time for any physiological developments to appear in these early human cousins.?
Our world leadership is so bad that I’d prefer to work with a benevolent alien race rather than the human leadership that has given us starvation (40,000 children per day), war, suffering, and environmental catastrophes.
Let’s assume that they can see through the liberal and conservative gatekeepers.
These space aliens are truly benevolent and avoid being intrusive.
If we find them or they find us one day.
There is a gap in our knowledge of evolution, i.e. how life got going in its earliest replicating form. So presumably there could be other chemical triggers for life switching on. Is an alien world with a different carrier of genetic information possible? If so, would such life be a source of food for humans? Or, would it more likely be deadly poisonous? After all, some life on Earth with similar DNA is poisonous to humans.
Knowing our vast extensive knowledge of the universe is that a reasonable conjecture? And there is no possibility god was an alien?
In the television series, Star Trek, why don’t the characters immediately die or become ill after having been transported to an alien world from their space ship with seemingly no protection against possible viral and bacterial infection which their bodies would presumably have absolutely no antibodies to defend against?
How is this explained in the show?
I have questions about the iphone if there is anyone out there that works for at&t or apple might be able to help me. 1) When is the new iphone coming out? 2) How much will it be? 3) Will it have video? 4) Will it have Instant messenger? 5) how much will the old iphone end up being? 6) Will there be a software you could buy to add all the new things to your old iphone?
Can anyone tell me what the official stance of the various branches of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and so forth, is toward the existence of alien life?
And what would it mean to these religions should alien life ever be proven to exist?
Earth-like moons are also acceptable.
You know to make life on the alien world more comfortable for you, have them build temples and statues in your honour, demand tribute from them and punish them if they didn’t give you everything you wanted..
To a primitive alien culture your technology would seem like magic. The power of the Gods.
I got the iPhone 3g in May 2009, and then my dad got the iPhone 3gs. He recently got upgraded to the iPhone 4 and so gave me his old iPhone3gs. I have a new sim card and none of my contacts are on it. I need to know how I get my contacts from the iPhone 3g onto the sim so that i can import them onto the iPhone 3gs. Thanks.
Take note that naturally the alien race has no culture nor religion that is in any way or form similar to judeo-christianity.
