Skate It – Sick Moves Now Available for iPhone

by Jay Garrett on May 10, 2010

EA has just released ‘Skate It’ for the iPhone.

If you’ve ever played EA’s console version you’ll be pretty familiar with the game which appears to be ported over from Nintendo’s DS.

Skate It claims to be the “most realistic skate experience” available for your iPhone.

You get to roam freely and you can show off your ‘sick skills’ by drawing gestures on the touchscreen.

It seems fairly realistic with a choice of ollies, flips and shuvits rather than doing some impossible tricks – saying that, I was always safer on a BMX ;)

Skate It goes head-to-head with Activision’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 which was released last month.

Grab Skate It from iTunes for £3.99

Sony’s New PlayStation 3 Motion Controller Called ‘Gem’ – Perhaps Definitely / Maybe

by Jay Garrett on December 12, 2009

Sony GemEA‘s CEO,John Riccitiello, accidentally let slip that Sony has been referring to the motion-sensing accessory as the “Gem” at a media conference in New York. Ooopsy!

During his speech Riccitiello said: “Natal [Microsoft's motion sensing game solution] and Gem, these are likely to bring new consumers into the marketplace”.

Sony Computer Entertainment of America director of comms has since told gaming blog Kotaku “We haven’t announced a final name at this point” and that “Gem” was in fact “an early code name for the product”.

Sony flashed the magic-wand motion controller at E3 and it works with the PlayStation Eye camera and claims to offer image recognition, depth detection, and gyros for a more interactive gaming experience.

Whether or not it keeps that name, the Gem system is due to be available Spring 2010 – launch details are still a being kept super-secret…. perhaps another slip soon? ;)

Ah, Christmas number ones. This year it was a case of which version of the Canadian miserablist’s, Leonard Cohen, ‘Hallelujah’ would hit the top spot.
