If you ever enjoyed the old Game & Watch handhelds, I highly recommend Monkey Labour for the ipod/iphone/ipad. They've nailed the feel, the look, while adding a couple of innovations. Leaderboards through that game center thing too.
Very odd. I thought this was going to be about something completely different. I don't know if it was a Twilight Zone episode or something similar... but I remember seeing an episode where a housewife inherits a gold watch that stops time. She has a laugh for a while but then begins relying on it for all sorts of things. And then it gets very dark... war breaks out, missiles are launched, and she stops time a second before the bombs hit. Which is where the episode ends, her stuck in a world frozen in time, unable to restart it unless she decides she wants to die.
Will the classic view option stay? If not... m.io9.com is a useful alternative. I can deal with lists, I can see what's going on without being bombarded from what feels like seven different directions. I hope 'Start a new thread' was the right button to press...
I'd pay full price for HD versions of games like PGR2, Ninja Gaiden Black, the Splinter Cell games... I don't even need added features, I'd be happy with the new shiny.
