gamestop needs an iPhone game review/preveiw section.

for those of you who dont have the pleasure of owning one, let me tell yoou that the iphone is a very good gaming platform. it is easily comparable to any handheld out today. it combines the screen quality of the psp, improves on the touch screen capability of the ds, has motion controls like the wii, and a hard drive like the ps3/360. if you are tired of carrying your cell phone, ds, psp, ipod and even laptop around everywhere you go, you should consider the iphone as an all around replacment.

as time goes on, the quality of its games is increasing, as more developers gain experience, and innovation. someof the games are old favorites like space invaders and pacman, while others are more innovative such as touch hockey, which is air hockey that uses the touch screen. even versons of spore and the force unleashed, have made their way onto the iPhone. however, some of these games cost $10, and the review system in the app store is based soley on customer reviews, who may not have fully explored the app, or didnt follow the directions. in fact in the beginning of the app store you could reveiw an app without even downloading it. i think it would be great if gamestop was the first site to offer their accurate, reliable reveiws for the iPhone games. i know i'd love to work on that.

This phone looks better than the iphone, imo. But the iphone is cool too :P.......

Heres a Iphone app review site...

Thank you Mr. Jobs. I will order two iPhones  right away.

(Seriously, what's the use of this thread in the PC gaming forum?)

It's Gamespot. Not Gamestop.

Also, why won't it let me flag this thread as off-topic? This belongs in general gaming, if anything. Last I checked, the iPhone has nothing to do with PC or Mac gaming.

Meh, I wouldn't use an iPhone if it were free. Get a real smartphone and we'll talk, and then play multiplayer online games with them. :)SuperBeast

sorry but you are completely wrong. even if i hate apple, i have to admit that iphone is way ahead of its competition.

first of all this is pc and mac thread. when posting it seemed like the most appropriate thread for my topic and i thank you for your polite advice on which tread this might have been more suited too. i apologise to those who have been deeply scarred by this.

second, i have 3 PCs, a linux server, as well as a home theatre pc and a gaming pc with vista ultimate. so im a pretty defective "apple bot". my gaming pc runs all the newest games at the highest settings, in 1600x1050, with at least 40-50 fps. i have been playing games on the pc since the 80s. i have a macbook too which i do most of my important things on, i dont think that apple products are better, i know it. pcs are best for games, but i do more than game. "what self respecting gamer would EVER buy a mac" you ask, well one that knows im not going to lose my manhood because one of my computers has an apple logo, and wasnt built by me. get real, im running unix, youll understand my point when you learn what that means, until then sit down.

 third, several of you have mentioned that there is better product than the iphone, but none of you have given examples, except ferret, who thinks another phone looks cooler. how hard is it to be like ferret, and drop a link or model number, and maybe a factual reason as to why you think this other phone is better. you just appear as an uneducated, forum troll otherwise.

 thank you ferret, i am aware that there are some sites that offer iphone reveiws, however i was hoping that gamespot would hop on this, so the games would be reviewed from a gamers point of veiw, and as well, i find their reveiws usually pretty close to what i would give a game.

Well I'm not going to say there is a BETTER device than the iPhone, just for me, it's pointless. It's a neat gadget, but considering the price and it's provided by AT&T, well then no thanks. I strongly disagree about the iPhone being comparable to the DS and PSP. Yes maybe functionality wise, but when it comes to the actual games well then no. The app store is bogged down by a lot of crappy apps that seem like they were put together in two seconds to milk users from their money. Yes, I don't know about this firsthand because I don't own one, but I've read plenty of topics on this on other websites saying that the quality of apps for the iPhone at that time was seriously lacking.  The PSP and DS have tons of high quality games available for them and are specifically designed to do one thing: game.

However, I will say that as the iPhone games library increases, it might be good for GS to hop on and start a section for them. Although, I would imagine there would have to be another website already doing this very thing. Granted, it would be nice to have a one-stop place for all your gaming news, but I already use multiple gaming news sources as it is.

a) I respect myself and I bought a Mac, I just didn't buy it for gaming.

b) The blackberry is the best "business" phone, and the iPhone is the best "personal" phone. If there are better things out there, show me.

Apple certainly has a target on their back with the iPhone, but so far no one has hit the mark. The Nvidia chip/interface looks like it could crush the iPhone, but no one is making it yet, so it doesn't matter.

I think that mobile phones should stick to things they are made for

Yeah, except carrying a phone, an mp3 player, a pda, and a game console around gets a little cumbersome, so you can understand why some people would dissagree.

I completly understand that,but if we have one device that does all,than other people will loose job

There will be no more hendheld gaming devices - how many people that worked on those loose job?

no more mp3? more loss

no more pda - i think you understand

+ if someone wants JUST to play games for example,why would he want to spend big bucks on something that can do "more" when he doesnt want more

He just wants to play games

Thats why consoles / handhelds exist in first place

I think we are all forgetting one thing... Gamespot can barely post reviews in a timely manner now and you want to add another thing for them to do? Just isn't possible!Sins-of-Mosin

haha true :P

No thanks. GS is short-staffed on reviewers as it is. I don't want them wasting their time on the most garbage games in existence.

Fun. A thread that didn't belong on this forum in the first place has quickly degraded in to a Mac vs PC pissing contest (thanks in no small part to the OP.) And yeah, I just bumped it. I love seeing fanboys cry over this stuff.

Just to stay on topic: the iPhone's library simply isn't significant enough to warrant a review section here (in terms of both library size and library quality.) It's still not even remotely on par with other handheld devices specifically intended for gaming...so maybe you should re-make this topic when it is.
