August 7th, 2008

I was just tooling around in the app store looking to send over the link for PhoneSaber to my friend and it’s gone! The only thing that comes up is iSaber, which isn’t very good. A quick look at the publisher’s page confirms this and it looks like THQ Wireless has asked MacBox to take [...]

Star Wars again. And again. And again…

July 25th, 2008

One good idea. That’s all it takes. One. And then you can milk it forever, diluting the original source material until it is just a pale puddle worthy of no attention at all. Star Wars is going 3-D.
The original six episodes are getting yet another treatment as Jeffrey Katzenberg from DreamWorks Animations confirmed that George [...]
