Inspector Gadget 1.0.0 iPhone iPod Touch | 7,49 MB

Having recently turned 25-years old, the clumsy, high-tech hero Inspector Gadget has just brought his own particular brand of bionic police work to the iPhone, courtesy of license holder Namco Bandai. "Inspector Gadget is a personal favourite for me, and a character who has gained a loyal global following, making him one of the most lovable icons of the cartoon crime-solving world," says Namco Bandai's pres, Barry O'Neill. "Inspector Gadget and the iPhone is a perfect partnership as one of the world's most famous gadget users meets one of the world's most famous gadgets." And it wouldn't be an adventure for the gizmo-laden copper without his niece Penny or the faithful mega-brainy dog, Brain, as they attempt to thwart the gruff-voice machinations of the evil Dr Claw.The Inspector comes to us in a platform game using an unusual touchscreen controller. Six buttons are placed around the edges of the landscape-orientated screen to allow for quick and easy movements in all directions - a system that, from a distance, looks a bit easier to negotiate than the clumsy D-pads we have been seeing lately.

The Oregon Trail

For a certain generation, Oregon Trail was one of the first video games they every got hooked on. And now it's coming to the iPhone, albeit in a form that looks more like Hokkaido Trail.

On the one hand, I love Oregon Trail and would love to play it on my iPhone. On the other hand, I'm not sure how close to the original this version stays. I'm fine with graphical updates, but I don't remember collecting coins as I forded the river or being given advice from anime characters.

But I shall reserve judgment. No word on the release date for this one, but it shouldn't be too much longer.
