TUAW Reviews "Infinity Blade"

Epic Citadel was a free-roaming environment with controls reminiscent of first-person shooters -- one virtual control stick moved you, and the other let you look around. If you were expecting that same degree of freedom in Infinity Blade, your opinion of the game may sour very quickly when you discover that the gameplay is "on rails."
-- Review of "Infinity Blade"

No, I won't be buying it. I enjoyed the exploration part of Epic Citadel and was dissappointed there weren't more areas I could explore.

I am disappointed that "Infinity Blade" wasn't more of an exploration game.

iPad "newspaper" Coming Soon

The Guardian is reporting that Apple and News Corp. are collaborating on a "newspaper" that will be iPad-only for $0.99-a-week subscription.

It will be available early next year (my guess is that the official announcement will coincide with the iPad 2 announcement in February/March and it will be available when the iPad 2 ships in June).

Update: Rumours say Dec. 9th for the announcement.
