RAGE Hitting iPhone, Graphics = Ridiculous (Gameplay Video)

RAGE for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC is a title that will be hitting hard with superb graphics and what looks to be game-play mechanics with great potential as well. Recently you may have heard that the QuakeCon 2010 is raging with John Carmack doing back-flips (in the digital awesomeness sense) to show the world what will be achieved with the upcoming title, among other things.

Amazingly enough, it turns out RAGE will be hitting the Apple iPhone/iPod/iPad App Store alongside the release of the console title, according to Carmack’s scheduled plans, and a demo was shown to back up this claim. What transpired next was the reveal of a borderline insane achievement achieved by Carmack and his team at id Software. RAGE running on the iPhone 4 destroyed any belief that the platform cannot handle a good-looking game as the 60 frames-per-second, mega-textured iPhone version of this title looks like something out of a sci-fi movie considering it’s running on such a portable device. This was achieved on a custom coded engine (made from scratch) with a tool in Rage exporting custom data to the game. Hit the break for the video of the demo shown at QuakeCon 2010.

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 Review

Some of my best memories of gaming with my friends revolved around a certain kart racing game that didn’t have the word “Mario” in the title. My friends and I would sit around for hours playing a little kart racer called Crash Team Racing for the original PlayStation. For some reason this game held a lot of appeal simply because it wasn’t Mario Kart and was available on a system that rivaled Nintendo at the time. Regardless of the reason we latched on to it so well, we loved that game back then. This is why it was a lot of fun being able to review Crash Bandicoot Nitro Cart 2 for the iPhone.

The question at this point should be – did this iPhone iteration of the franchise bring back the feeling of playing with my friends all those years ago? Unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the mark in that regard, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t fun and isn’t a great title. Let’s talk about it for a bit.
