Saints Row 2 Mobile

By Shane | September 3, 2008

I wasn’t a huge fan of the “GTA clone” Saints Row for the Xbox 360 when it came out a couple of years ago. It was entertaining, but I soon lay it to rest as it just didn’t have that lasting appeal for me.

Saints Row 2 is looking promising on the 360, PS3 and PC however, and is also coming to a mobile device near you by THQ Wireless.

Expect multiple missions, activities and mini-games integrated into the game-play. You will have the ability to complete missions on foot or while driving as you battle to regain territory from rival gangs and corrupt police.

Here are some features

* Continue the story of the Third Street Saints and battle to regain their territory from rival gangs and corrupt police
* Inhabit and “own” 5 large city territories by capturing enemy strongholds to help build your empire, then defend your turf against enemy gang reprisals
* Each gang with it’s own unique style and methods; new rival gangs – the Ronin, the Sons of Samedi, and the Brotherhood
* Complete multiple missions and mini-diversions; rob civilians, take hostages, rob shops, escape cops
* Gain respect and recapture the city

Pangeasoft’s Billy Frontier Coming to iPhone and iPod Touch

By Shane | August 21, 2008

It seems like every game company out there is jumping on the iPhone/iPod Touch port wagon these days, and why shouldn’t they; the iPhone is a powerful portable game device that sells like chocolate ice cream on a hot summer day.

Pangeasoft’s Spaghetti Western, gun slinging title Billy Frontier is making the port over from the Mac with alterations to accommodate the iPhone and iPod Touch. Pangeasoft is claiming Billy Frontier, a Space Cowboy who’s mission is to rid the galaxy of alien outlaws, will be the “most diverse 3D game on the iPhone and iPod Touch”…for the time being.

Expect four mini games in one, which include: Dueling, Shootout, Stampede, and Target Practice.
