LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Everything I Learned About Call of Duty: Ghosts Last Week
I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

On the future of some gamers

Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.   Months ago,...

Now You Can Do Your Presidential Duty To Save The World From Tyranny On Your Phone

Posted on Friday, March 8 @ 14:20:00 Eastern by

Liberation Maiden puts players in control of young President Shoko Ozora, who uses her humanoid mech to free New Japan from tyranny. Do you need more? It's clear that this is another oddity from Suda 51, but now fans of the unique developer don't need to have a 3DS to play Liberation Maiden.

LEVEL-5 and Suda 51 teamed up to develop the game and bring it to iOS. Akihiro Hino said that their goal was to "redefine what a mobile game can do with the quality design, story and gameplay normally only available to console gamers."

I've played Liberation Maiden on 3DS and it's actually quite fun for train rides, in-between more involved, retail 3DS games, and of course on the can. Now it's available on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch devices everywhere. The graphics and animated cutscenes look great on the retina display, but I'm way more impressed with how smoothly the action runs on iOS.

Check out the trailer above and see for yourself if Liberation Maiden's odd premise and shooting action are worthy of $4.99 in the App Store.

    Ew, iOS. Why not Android? There are more Android users than iPhone users, guess most devs haven't heard the new yet.

    I'm sure in a perfect world they'd release on both iOS and Android, but when you take combined sales of iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, there's a larger market. I know android tablets have been growing in market share (as have phones like from Samsung), but even some of those are locked to encourage users to use one market over another (Kindle Fire etc).

    I'm an iOS user so that's just my perspective.

    Not only what Daniel said but isn't Android still pretty fragmented compared to iOS devices? That's a big concern for dev's.

    And for those who don't know, fragmented meaning inconsistency between updated versions of devices among users. Where iOS devices are largely seperated between iOS 5/6 there is a larger disparity between froyo/jelly bean/sandwich/gingerbread thus limiting the market (and revenue) by making the version of the game only compatible with more recent OS versions or increasing costs by making it more compatible among a larger range of versions.

    47% of devices are on ICS now. Companies have stopped shipping with the 2.3.3 Froyo firmware on devices. Besides, many iOS games have come to Android. The only one everyone is waiting on is Infinity Blade, but it doesn't change the fact that Android is selling to iOS 4/1.

    There are also many devices with Android for all price ranges. From high-end smartphones to lower end pre-paid ones, plus the same goes for Android tablets. There's actually a larger market for Android and you can slowly see the transition. Apple's stocks have nearly halved because of it.

    Both Google and Android stocks have steadily increased since 2008/2009 (since the first Android device came out). Fragmentation is a huge concern, even if it's a few % as that can be hundreds of thousands of potential customers. 47% fragmentation is pretty massive. You're basically saying just under half of Android users have the most recent OS which means a minimum of two versions of apps to reach a majority of the (Android) market. That costs time and money. Not to mention the most recent numbers indicate Apple has over 50% of the market share while Android is just around 25%, so I'm not entirely sure how you figure there is a larger market for Android.

    Sounds like Metal Wolf Chaos, except through the mind of Suda 51. Would buy if it was on Android.
