POLL The iPhone Redux Would you buy Apple’s new iPad?

By Daniel Asparouhov [email protected]

Apple’s newest sensation, the iPad, will be avail- able March this year. Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, proudly announced that the new gadget “is our most advanced technology in a magical and revolu- tionary device at an unbelievable price.” Jobs touts the new brainchild of Apple: “iPad cre- ates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before.” Ya..

You can import photos from a Mac, PC or digital camera, and organize them in whatever way you please. You can also read e-books or watch movies and videos in HD. The iPad syncs with iTunes, which is nice due to the large availability of movies, songs, and films. The screen is 9.7”, diagonally. There are four but- tons: power/sleep, mute, volume up/down, and home. The iPad is .5 inches thick and weights 1.5 pounds.

By Jonathan Terbeche [email protected]

Many have called 2009 the year of fighting games. With Grade ‘A’ titles like Tekken 6 and Street Fighter IV, it’s hard to argue against it. One case you could make though, is that it is only January of this year and already a defining game for the genre and contender for Best Fighting Game has appeared. That game is “Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars” for the Wii and it’s a [Hadoken] blast! Right out of the gate, you’ll notice the incredible ease with which the game is handled. Buttons have been mapped to the Wii Remote’s two-button configuration for incredible ease-of-use, don’t worry though, virtually every different controller is available to use on the Wii, including a new wireless fight stick made specifically for the game. Along with different controller options, button-map- ping is left entirely up to the player, should you need to change anything. The game also looks and sounds fantastic. With bright, vibrant colors and crisp animations, it showcases some of the best Wii graphics to date. Each character and location’s unique sounds set the mood and are wonderfully done, if only too Japanese. After playing for only an hour, you’re going to feel as though you’ve mastered the controls and the game itself. This is not the Games Press Dynamic tag-team fighting action and stunning graphics makes Tatsunoko vs. Capcom a well balance game. case, though and the remainder of actual game-play becomes an intense contest between you and your friends to become the best terribly significant and occur so infrequently that they aren’t a deal less.
