Good news: Sega is offering a Back to School sale on their iPhone and iPad games. As you know, school and education are all about playing portable video games. Any teacher will tell you that.
What's nice is that the price discounts are pretty decent and lets you save a few bucks for those textbooks you aren't really going to read. Here's a list for your consideration:
Super Monkey Ball 1 $1.99
Super Monkey Ball 2 $2.99
Last week's announcements from Apple about plans for iOS 4.1 and it's imminent release got everyone thinking about what's in store for iPhone owners all over the world. The free update will fix a number of bugs (including the persistent proximity sensor issues), but will also bring a whole lot of cool new features. For instance, iPhone 4 users will get to make good use of that high definition camera with iOS 4.1 loaded as well as being able to upload high def video over wifi.
If there's one thing gamers have a lot of, it's ingenuity, and it shows in this iPhone mod in which the Apple phone is made into a pinball machine.
Rovio, the Finnish publisher of the insanely successful game Angry Birds, has got their eye on Hollywood. Or something.

With the iPhone having planted itself firmly in the world as a pretty darned good gaming solution, it's become something of an interesting side effect that older games which have seen their day on the PC (or Mac) are back again on the smaller screen to be played by a new generation.
