“It’s a wildly varied genre, but anime creators do things with weapons and vehicles and technology nobody else does and that marries very well with Halo. It’s amazing to see some of the new stuff they’re …

Zen had asked me to write one for my Batman: Arkham Asylum(PS3) purchase, but by the time I felt like doing it, the game was sold off already. Then came the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 purchase which I wanted to post about, but Zen had beat me to the chase and posted up her own copy. Blahhh. You can view her loot post here.

Mikuru wearing Hatsune Miku’s outfit is proudly showcasing the game.
Yeah. So my loot post …

Tap Your iPhone for This Game

Originally released for the Nintendo Wii, now it’s available on your iPhone or iPod Touch. For the Wii game, players were instructed to place the Wii Remote controller on top of a cardboard box and tap the box in order to trigger a number of onscreen actions in the game.

Look like it’s the same thing for the iPhone! The main Wii game is being broken up into five apps, with the first – Tap Runner which is available at the iTunes Store for $3.99. Kinda expensive =/

Oh and out …
