From Uncrate: "Celebrate the kick-off of the NFL season with the world's best-selling football game... on your phone. Madden NFL 10 for iPhone ($10) packs all the Madden action you know..."

The point of Canabalt is to escape… I just don’t know from what. My longest run was about 3200m, but I don’t know if there is an end (or point) to this game. Its pretty addictive either way.

From Engadget: "Yeah, you heard it right: another volume of Guitar Hero -- the game you either love to hate or love to love -- is making its debut on September 1st. It's probably no coincidence that the release date comes exactly one week before that other music game, The Beatles: Rock Band."
That's a lot of geek rocking in a short period of time.
From Engadget: "The folks behind DJ Hero know something we can't even admit to ourselves: we're losers, a deep disappointment to our parents who wanted us to ride with the cool kids. That's going to change in October when DJ Hero puts us on stage with nothing but a silver thong and faux deck peripheral to bring down the house."
