The App Store Is Approaching 50 Billion Apps Downloaded, And Of *Course* There Is A Countdown
I find these numbers boggling. When someone says that a game like, say, Tomb Raider has sold 4 million copies I feel as though I can grasp what that means. 4 million people — that’s like roughly the population of Melbourne. There is something to compare that number to. Something almost tangible. But when someone tells you that the App Store is rapidly approaching its 50 billionth download — what does mean? How can we even comprehend that? What do we compare that number to?
Bizarre Boyfriend Maker Is Back On The App Store, Slightly Declawed
Fans of boyfriends and strange iPhone chat games may recall Boyfriend Maker, the sometimes hilarious, sometimes genuinely creepy virtual companion app that was released last year for iOS before being summarily pulled from the iTunes App Store.
Nintendo’s Plan To Make The 3DS Stand Out From The IPhone
It feels as though Nintendo’s 3DS handheld game system has “arrived.” Over the last few months, the library of 3DS games available has reached some sort of critical mass, and it seems there’s a well-made, fun game for just about every type of gamer.

Yesterday, all of the internet was ablaze with the news that Saga #12 — Image Comics’ sci-fi adventure drama by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples — was being blocked from iPads and iPhones by Apple. A new announcement from digital comics purveyor Comixology indicates that they, not Apple, were to blame.

Tomorrow’s Saga #12 — the latest issue of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ critically acclaimed series — won’t be available for purchase via comics-reading apps on the iPad or iPhone, because it contains images of gay sex. That means that folks who buy and read the sci-fi adventure drama via apps like Comixology won’t be able to do so once the issue goes on sale.
Another Serious Game Falls To Apple’s Anger-Inducing Approval Process
Proven countless times over the past several years alone, video games are a form of entertainment uniquely suited to communicating serious subjects in an interactive fashion — far more effectively than reading a book or watching a documentary. Unfortunately Apple wants nothing to do with that sort of communication, so UK developer Littleloud’s Sweatshop HD had to be removed from the iTunes App Store.
App Review: Ridiculous Fishing Is As Fun As Shooting Fish With An Uzi
The game isn’t called Ordinary Fishing, after all. It isn’t called By-The-Books Fishing either. No, it’s called Ridiculous Fishing. So it stands to reason that if you download this game, you will be expecting to do some fishing, and for it to be ridiculous. Good news: That’s exactly what you’ll get.
