Atari Arcade hands-on

Today's modern gamer can quickly be enveloped by some of the 3D intensive titles out there, but for those who are more akin to those titles from yesterday, they'll soak in a good amount of nostalgia thanks to this fitting accessory that brings back a solid dose of nostalgia. Remember some of those old school Atari arcades from back in the day? Well, if you certainly remember them, the Atari Arcade is here to reinvigorate those stagnant memories of yesterday when gaming as we know it, was still in its infancy.

For $69.99 and the aid of your supplied iPad (first or second-generation), the Atari Arcade provides that arcade like feel thanks to its ample sized joystick and accompanying four buttons. Not surprisingly, we're tickled by the fact that we're introduced to that arcade like experience, but it tends to become a bit unstable as we're mashing away at its buttons and joystick. Yes, the Atari Arcade locks the iPad 2 into position and hinges it on an angle, but at times, it feels as though it can come off with enough applied pressure. Moreover, as much as we'd like to play with this thing in our lap, it's best to place it on a level surface to withstand the momentum of our rigorous movements. Nevertheless, this is an essential item you'll want to pick up if you want to relive the experience – without having to fork over your life savings to pick up some of these collector's arcade systems yourself.

Everything about this all-plastic accessory pays homage to those giant-sized arcade systems from the past, but its true worth is found with the free download of the Atari Greatest Hits app for the iPad. Initially, you get Missile Commander for free by simply downloading the free app, but if you want to play some other titles, even ones for the Atari 2600, you'll need to spend some dough on them. Luckily, you can pick up 25 separate packs for a mere 99 cents, but if you're really hardcore, we'd suggest plopping down $9.99 to pick up all 100 titles that are available.

Microsoft working on Xbox Live games for Android and iOS?

Xbox Live is one of Microsoft’s fastest growing divisions; could a full-fledged Xbox Live Marketplace app be in the works for 2012?

When asked about mobile OS gaming, a Microsoft spokesman stated that they would be working on bringing Xbox Live games to other mobile platforms besides Windows Phone.

“While the Xbox Live experiences and games always work best on the Windows platform, we understand that some Xbox fans may be using other types of devices. To satisfy that need, we are working to extend a few of our Xbox experiences and titles to other platforms.”

This is not the first foray Microsoft has had into the app markets of competing mobile platforms: last month saw the release of Kinectimals for iOS. This begs the question: will Microsoft one day enable their Xbox Kinect technology on mobile phones and tablets?

There’s no word yet on availability, but playing Xbox Live games on your phone is definitely a plus in our book.
