Belkin previews Thunderbolt dock at IDF

by Michael Rose (Sep 13th, 2011)

You love the idea of port replication off your high-speed Thunderbolt port, but you haven't got a cool grand lying around to put towards a brand-new Apple display. Yes, we know, first-world problem of the highest order; fortunately, though, it looks like Belkin will soon be coming to your ...

TUAW's Daily iPhone App: Parking Dash

by Mike Schramm (May 26th, 2011)

I've posted about the "Dash" time management games before -- traditionally, they're just basically tap-and-wait titles that have you managing a diner or a spa. But Parking Dash, out today on iPhone, is the most involved one I've seen. The app still has a plucky female heroine (these apps tend ...

Official Star Wars shop selling R2-D2 case for iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Aug 19th, 2010)

As a big Star Wars fan, I followed all of the news out of the Star Wars Celebration event last weekend, but this might be my favorite. The official online Star Wars shop has begun selling its very own iPhone case, which as you can see above, will dress up your favorite smartphone as a ...

Phoenix Wright, Hexen II coming to the iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Feb 27th, 2010)

Good news for fans of good games: the terrific DS courtroom simulator (which, trust me, sounds much less fun than it actually is) Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney is coming to the iPhone, and Slide to Play has posted some hands-on video. The game takes the two DS screens and stacks them on top of ...

Call of Duty for the iPhone will track your World at War kills

by Mike Schramm (Aug 6th, 2009)

Activision has released Call of Duty for the iPhone... but don't get too excited, it's not exactly what you think. The first-person shooter hasn't quite been ported yet. Instead, they've released a "Call of Duty: World at War companion," which instead lets you track the activity on the popular World ...

Goodbye, FireWire 400

by Mike Schramm (Mar 4th, 2009)

As Macworld notes, this is it for the ol' Firewire 400. With the introduction of the new Mac mini the other day and the refresh of the Mac Pro and iMac lines, the old version of Firewire is left only on the white MacBook. It's evolution at its finest, and our good friend Nilay Patel over at ...

id pushing hard for Quake Live on the Mac

by Mike Schramm (Feb 25th, 2009)

Our good friends at Joystiq recently spoke to id games' John Carmack (the man behind games like Quake and Doom, and fervent supporter of Mac gaming), and heard that id's new product, Quake Live, is headed to our OS just as soon as they can get it there. Quake Live is a free, browser-based, ...

Aspyr delays Guitar Hero III, they are now dead to me

by Mike Schramm (Nov 15th, 2007)

Man, remember how excited we were that Guitar Hero III was coming to the Mac at a reasonable time? Yeah, well, guess what. Aspyr has no love for Mac owners. Our friends at Joystiq say that while the PC version is sitting happily on shelves, we're still waiting on the Mac version. "Later this year," ...

Aspyr porting Neverwinter Nights 2

by Mike Schramm (Aug 23rd, 2007)

Aspyr, maker of many Mac game ports, has confirmed they're working on a port of Neverwinter Nights 2 for the Mac. The game features straight-up D&D action in the Forgotten Realms setting, and while not quite as critically acclaimed as Neverwinter Nights (that one was made by Bioware, after all), ...
