You’re the (Nexus) One That I Want: Confessions of an iPhone Lover Gone Astray
To protect the innocent, names have been changed. In this publication, a once-faithful iPhone lover will be referred to with a fictional Twitter name: @madluv4iPhn. A recent tweet: @madluv4iPhn Dear iPhone - I've met someone new named the Nexus One. I'm strangely attracted to her and need a few days to figure ...)
What SOPA Means for Gaming PR
SOPA. It's much ado about pirates. Not the cool kind of pirates who wear eye patches, sail ships, bury treasure and say stuff like yo-ho-ho. No, SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) is about the kind of pirates that suck. SOPA what? If all the cool kids weighed in, would you ...)
Casual Connect 2011: Games Industry Fishbowl?
With Casual Connect, the fish analogy is easy. You're gathered in Seattle, surrounded by the sea, partying in aquariums, and hell, I even roomed with a finned friend this year. Our hotel pet (affectionately and temporarily named Sarah) stayed in her fishbowl out of necessity. But will the casual gaming ...)
Foursquare Badge Fun, from Super Bowl to Subtle Snark
Beginning at kickoff today (6:30pm ET on FOX), Foursquare will open up a special edition check-in point globally to all users - look for the promoted trending venue, "Super Bowl Sunday". If you missed out on the "PA Groundhog Day" badge earlier this week (when Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early ...)
Angry Birds Super Bowl Ad's Got Game
Angry Bird players are set for a special bonus this Super Bowl Sunday. The iPhone game's upcoming 30-second commercial is all the buzz today - apparently, it will feature an embedded code to unlock a secret new level. According to AdAge, "the spot will be the first Super Bowl ad ...)
Refunding a Free Admission: Taking Care of Customers in F2P
Last week, on the TriplePoint blog, I wrote a short piece about taking care of angry customers when the service has been poor. I advised providers to be forthright, humble, and to make an immediate reparatory gesture for best results. Karma, it seems, is a real kick in the teeth ...)
Snarky Facebook RPG Fantasy University Now Open to All
Fantasy University, the pop-culture referencing, snarktastic, Facebook-based roleplaying game from TriplePoint client Simutronics (which we previewed), entered open beta today - meaning, unlike before, anyone with a Facebook account can get in on the Harry-Potter-on-acid antics. Here's the press release: ELANTHIA - October 20, 2010 Fantasy University, the premier fallback institution for ...Archive | Handheld RSS feed for this section
Wake Up, Pygmies; Time to Die
Having time-travel powers, as movies and books have taught us, would be pretty fantastic. You could go back into the past and hunt dinosaurs, or go to the future and learn the results of sporting events, and nothing could possibly go wrong. Unless you’re a Pocket God pygmy, in which case everything will always go wrong, [...]
Bumping Bears Bear Bumping from 148Apps
23. January 2012
TriplePoint client LoadComplete is getting a little love this morning with a bump over on 148Apps. Thankfully, they have developed a hardy breed of adorable bears, specifically bred to withstand bumping. Bumping Bears, the developer’s new iOS social title, is getting a nod of approval, thanks to the bears’ adorable features, the fact that they inhabit [...]
Go to School, School Others on the Go with Hero Academy
11. January 2012
What makes a hero? We can finally put that question to rest — it’s not bravery, or selflessness, or any of that saccharine nonsense. To be a hero, you clearly need to have attended Hero Academy, gotten at least an undergraduate degree, and continue to support the Hero Academy NCAA team. At that point, you will [...]
Hospital Havoc 2 Raises Over $10,000 with Appbackr
2. August 2011
TriplePoint client Bitwise Design announced today that they’re less than a month away from releasing Hospital Havoc 2 on the App Store. The game itself is going to be free of charge for players who are looking to dabble in the exciting field of medical malpractice. Still, while it’s free for the end user, it’s [...]
Casual Connect 2011: Games Industry Fishbowl?
24. July 2011
With Casual Connect, the fish analogy is easy. You’re gathered in Seattle, surrounded by the sea, partying in aquariums, and hell, I even roomed with a finned friend this year. Our hotel pet (affectionately and temporarily named Sarah) stayed in her fishbowl out of necessity. But will the casual gaming industry do the same? Are [...]

27. April 2011
If you have ever dreamed of getting close to the biggest stars, Bravo Game Studios, Spain-based developer of mobile games and TriplePoint client, is giving you the chance to be their hero. Protect them from ninjas, snipers, rednecks, and animal activists in bullet-proof panda suits bent on disturbing their entrance on the red carpet in [...]
Fashion Story Struts Down the App Store Runway
31. March 2011
Just in case you’ve been feeling inadequately fabulous lately, TriplePoint client TeamLava has fashioned a new app that will get you turning heads again. Well… turning towards your phone, anyway. But at least that will get everyone to stop noticing how you actually look. Fashion Story, the latest entry in TeamLava’s ongoing “story” series of [...]
Race with Sonic & Pals with Your iPhone & Pals
28. February 2011
Almost everything you need to know about Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is right there in the title: It’s a racing game, featuring Sonic the Hedgehog, and a cast of Sega’s adorable misfits. The title does not, however, explain that the game is going to be appearing on the iPhone, but there are other places [...]
Pocket God Mixes Morons with Misfits
25. February 2011
I don’t know if it’s fair to say that the hapless pygmies in Pocket God are morons, necessarily. Yes, they continue to live on an island where they are perpetually immolated, electrocuted, devoured, and flicked into a volcano, and anybody with even an ounce of smarts would have picked a new home by now. But [...]

Evacuate the App Store! Play this great game that I found! Stop this heat is killing me! Hey Mr. Bravo keep on jumping up to higher ground! Lava is rising, evil spiritual minions are attacking and poor Colonel Charlie Bravo is equipped with nothing but a jetpack, a shotgun, and a grenade launcher. Welcome to [...]
Poker with Bob Now Available in Store with Apps
18. February 2011
TriplePoint client Scary Robot Studios did not pick their name just to sound cool (although they totally do). The new app development studio is the brainchild of Dustin Adair, a professional animator whose works include Cylons, Terminators, Transformers, and other killer machines for movies and television. Bob, the star of Adair’s debut iPhone game, “Poker [...]
Volcano Escape: Eruption Imminent With New Gameplay Trailer
11. February 2011
A quality mobile game can do wonders to turn a lousy trip into a pleasant one. There’s nothing better than a handy iPhone game while listening to the shrill cries of the baby in the next row. Of course, then you arrive, and a pack of angry natives hurl you into a volcano. It’s always [...]
