Download Squad — Filed under: Fun , Games , iPhone ~ Get your tissues ready, gamers, because you're about to cry some big, sloppy tears of joy. Picture this: Capcom's Street Fighter IV. In your pocket. For 10 bucks . ~ That's right, Street Fighter IV has hit the iPhone with the fury of one of Ryu's dragon punches. I know what you're thinking, though: can this port possible look good and be playable? Yes, yes it can. While the graphics obviously aren't up to par with the arcade version of the game, they're decidedly on the high end of pretty ...More iPhone games. ~ SFIV runs smoothly (on the 3GS, anyway. I can't vouch for the experience on earlier iPhone models), and the stripped-down controls handle surprisingly well. The character list includes Ken and Ryu, obviously, as well as other classic favorites like Blanka, Chun Li, and Guile. I would have liked to see a few more of the new characters, though. The only one we've got here is Abel. ~ All in all, though, Capcom has handled the challenges of a touch-screen controller with aplomb, and the result is an iPhone release that actually earns the Street Fighter name.Street Fighter IV: an iPhone game earns the Street Fighter name originally appeared on Download Squad on Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:00:00 EST.

Download Squad — Filed under: Internet , Security ~ Until now, geolocation has been one of those quaint, semi-useful buzzwords: '... now with geolocation!!!' Twitter, Buzz and Foursquare -- the main exponents of exposing your location -- might not be small, but they pale in comparison to Facebook. With the announcement that Facebook will be enabling geolocation next month, Pandora's Box has been torn open; whether you like it or not, geolocation is about to become a huge part of your life. ~ Facebook, with 400 million users and a wealth of sensitive ...More and contextual information, will make previous attempts at utilizing your location look like child's play. Not only will this impact you as a user of the busiest site on the Internet, but games are about to be turned on their head: if you thought Foursquare was cool, you really have seen nothing yet. There were hints that Facebook would be enabling geolocation in November, and I guarantee that casual games companies like Zynga are wetting their pants in anticipation. Imagine how social gaming could soon become with a geolocation-enabled Facebook: when you visit your friend's house, their FarmVille farm could pop up on your smartphone.
