Despite having a game in the App Store, Tommy Refenes is an independent game developer that hates the online service. Hates it. In fact, he describes the online store with vocabulary that would make Ari Gold proud. He airs these words back in GDC 2010 while on the microphone, and just a week after that, his game was pulled from the App Store.

Australian gamers are overjoyed with the latest development in their crusade for an R18+ rating - the man who stood in their way is leaving his post.

Square Enix might be a huge name in the major gaming platforms, but they're still not top brass when it comes to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the iPhone! And the iPod Touch! In Europe! Well, not really, but kinda. Square Enix has announced that a Final Fantasy XIII digital art book called "Final Fantasy XIII Larger Than Life Gallery" is now available for iPhone and iPod Touch owners in Europe and other PAL territories.

Ghostwire lead developer Tom Soderlund has confirmed that the augmented reality ghost-hunting game will also be coming to Apple's iPhone and Google's Android. 

The world's largest industry-only event has wrapped up, and the organizers at UBM TechWeb Game Network could not be happier with the outcome. GDC 2010 pulled in a record 18,250 attendees to the event,besting last year's turnout of 17,000.
