Marvel and Gameloft are binging a new Spider-Man game to Apple’s iDevices called Spider-Man: Total Mayhem on September 2, 2010.

The game’s controls will be similar to Iron Man 2 for the iPhone/iPad, but will be programmed for a great experience as a web-slinging superhero.  The graphics are in full 3D, but have a comic book like style, and the storyline is inspired by the Ultimate Spider-Man comics.  Throughout the game you’ll run into several Spider-Man foes, and you’ll travel across 12 massive levels.

Spider-Man: Total Mayhem is coming to iTunes on September 2, 2010.

Sweet!  A new game has been released that allows for Apple iDevice users to play Android users in head-to-head combat.  In Skies of Glory, you take the cockpit of a classic fighter plane and you dogfight against each other via the internet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.  Check out the trailer below to see some of the action!

Also, if you’re interested in other cross platform games (for Android vs iDevices), check out Raging Thunder 2 or Homerun Battle 3D!

The iPhone 4 was released not too long ago, and it was only a matter of time before the iPod Touch 4 would follow, and now thanks to John Lewis, we have an idea as to what the iPod Touch 4 COULD feature and some minor details.

• iPod Touch 4 will be released in September 2010
• Includes a rear-facing 5.0 mega-pixel camera with built-in flash and HD video capabilities
• Forward facing VGA camera
• Game enhancing gyroscope and accelerometer
• FaceTime video calling (again, only in Wi-Fi hotspots)
• RUMORED 3G receiver for data usage without the need for Wi-Fi (which could enable the device to be used as a VOIP phone)

Stay tuned for more details.

DC Comics has finally launched their own digital comic app on Sony Playstation devices (Playstation 3 and PSP) and Apple’s iOS4 range of devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad).

Both the comiXology (Apple) and the PlayStation Network Digital Comics launch offerings will include classic titles from DC Comics, Vertigo and WildStorm, such as Batman: Hush, Green Lantern: Rebirth, Fables: Legends in Exiles and Planetary: All Over the World and Other Stories. Both programs will share a tiered pricing format, with digital comics priced from $.99 to $2.99 per issue. The Justice League: Generation Lost mini-series will be available through both platforms day and date with each issue’s print edition on-sale date, with both the digital and print editions priced at $2.99. Several comics will be available for free at launch, including the first installment of the ZUDA series Bayou and select stories from Batman: Black & White.

To further promote today’s announcement, DC Comics is offering a free 10-page preview of the 700th issue of Superman available through both platforms, day and date with the issue going on sale in comic book stores. The 10 page story is a prelude to writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Eddy Barrows’ highly anticipated “Grounded” storyline that will be published in Superman which will examine how Superman sees America, and how America sees Superman.

Co-Publisher at DC Comics, Jim Lee, had this to say about the launch of the app:

“At DC Comics, it has been a top priority that DC forges a meaningful, forward-looking digital strategy.  As both a comic book creator and Co-Publisher, it was incredibly important that our plan includes not only creator incentive payments, but also an innovative component that supports comic shop owners. We see digital as an opportunity to grow our entire business.”

All devices will share a pricing format that will range from $.99 to $2.99 per issue for classics from DC Comics, Vertigo, and WildStorm.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 has been delayed from its original release date of Summer 2010, to the latter half of 2010.

The reasoning SEGA gave for the delay is:

“allow the Development Team to focus on keeping the game high quality, continuing tuning and balancing of levels and interface and overall maintaining the kind of polish that an important game like this demands, ultimately providing fans with an unrivaled classic Sonic feel,”

They have released a trailer however for our enjoyment, or torture, however you want to see it…

Those who have jailbroke BETA copies of Apple’s next operating system for the iPhone (OS 4), have noticed strands of code that seem to be pulling Facebook contact information and calendar events.

If you own a Palm Pre or Pixi or any of the new HTC phones with SenseUI, you already know what this does and means (and it’s pretty darn convenient too!).  Basically, when you enter your Facebook credentials on the device, it goes out and pulls your Facebook contacts and events and integrates them instantly. 

So, if you are friends with (we’ll say for this example) James T Kirk on Facebook, you will now have him in your Contacts screen on your iPhone along with his birthday, and any events he’s added to Facebook in your Calendar.  If he ever changes his info, it will automatically update on your device too!
