PC Games Cheat

For some reason, Pocket PC game sexual content is starting to creep into our PDA downloads.

I can certainly understand why. A study on Handheld Computer Use in a Psychiatric Outreach Program found that PDA users were likely to be male physicians under 35 than to be female or older physician.

If these statistics apply to the population at large, I’m willing to bet that there may be some merit to it.

I mean, I’m smack in the middle of this age range myself. It figures that PDA game developers will target whatever demographic their market surveys happen to target.

Targeted, niche-based marketing in gaming is where it’s at, my brutha. I mean, chances are, you’re male.

That’s not to say that my entire Pocket PC game readership is made of solely of males. Females seem to have a proclivity toward non-thumb injuring games.

My wife loves my site, is an avid PDA gamer and is also an extremely zealous Bejeweled 2 Pocket PC puzzle gamer.

By the way, Jessie, hats off to you for your 23,142 Classic mode and 1,294,750 Action mode scores. She simply won’t admit that she’s been following the tips that I’ve posted on my site.

Kudos if I can put you squarely in the PDA puzzle game clique– iPAQ thumb from excessive button mashing can be painful at times. The joint of my thumb aches when I press down at an angle.

This was compounded by s-video based desktop PC gaming which is performed with the same Logitech wireless controller that I described in my September 19th blog entry.

My extended, fairly incessant Pocket PC gaming may also be attributed to this.

My latest site update involved an article detailing the brand spanking new Ultimate Bowling Fighter release. Not that there’s spanking involved, but there may as well be for the skimpy outfits some of those female pro bowlers wear.

Add a picture-in-picture screen with bouncy women holding up “Strike!” signs and low riding pants, and you’ve got a most unique PDA sports game download with some degree of sexual content.

Does this mean that we’re on the cusp of a sexual Pocket PC gaming revolution? Only time will tell.

It’s been a distracting Pocket PC wargame session with Handmark’s Warfare Incorporated for Pocket PC.

I experienced flashes of Command and Conquer pangs of nostalgia as I started erecting power generators to keep my turrets active. It was the only thing holding the enemy AI units at bay.

You’re on planet Icarus and you’re fighting for resources against the OMNI corporation. You have to build storage houses to store the gem-like patches on the map for the real-time strategy PPC wargame.

Once you’ve upgraded to the gills with the money you’ve earned, you get to use some high-powered weaponry.

You’ll find Warfare Incorporated extremely engaging and more difficult as the campaign missions continue.

Soon enough, I had been sucked into this mobile real-time strategy game universe on my iPAQ.

I had been RTS gaming without realizing it when my dad came home with The Ancient Art of War by Br

It’s possible that advances in the Windows Mobile OS are somewhat dependent on the gaming community.

We certainly have a few innovations that warrant a robust, stable OS capable of high-level API coding to partake of the best of the Pocket PC gaming realm.

The desktop PC owes a debt of gratitude to gamers. Unless, of course, you think that the user base was doing nothing else but playing with their MS Office apps on a routine basis.

The large drive towards hardware and processing power innovation is driven by folks largely like myself.

Video card manufacturers like ATI and nVidia have been posting record sales of high-end 3D hardware acceleration cards for years, with desktop PC gamers more than willing to pony up over $600 CDN on the next massively multipipelined hardware behemoth.

The Windows Mobile world can hardly be called a parallel gaming universe.

A lot of frustration has been thrown Microsoft’s way, largely because of recent developments. The hx4700 is a case in point.

Hewlett Packard’s only VGA display handheld was hampered by a revelation: no Windows Mobile 5.0 upgrade could be issued for this device until the following spring.

You’ll find more details on the Brighthand.com site regarding this upgrade insight.

Problem is, the mettle of the hardcore Pocket PC game community is lacking. A recent poll off of the IPaqHQ forum site revealed that only just over five percent have opted for a Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5.

The greater majority is still on WM 2003 Second Edition. The Pocket PC game community has spoken, and by and large they are satisfied with the game power harnessed by devices utilizing this brand of operating system.

The Windows Mobile Team Blog entry was an epiphany of sorts. Mike Calligaro’s Windows Mobile article blog spoke to issues concerning disparaging Micro$oft detractors who insist on transposing those dollar signs in the middle of the company name.

His formula is as follows:

(Total cost of doing the upgrade) / (number of people who will use it) = (unreasonable price)

In essence, he attributes our PDA gaming community upgrade woes to diseconomies of scale, not greed.

I agree with Mike’s view because the dearth of hardware accelerated Pocket PC games speaks volumes.

The newer accelerated titles like GeoRally EX are less prevalent than new software rendered 3D titles like FFRace - Fast Future Race.

Even more revealing the former is targeted once again towards Axim x50v owners. If that in itself doesn’t reek of a lack of PDA hardware compliancy, I don’t know what does.

I’ve dubbed this the PlayStation 2 syndrome: just like the popular gaming console, Pocket PC game developers are catching on to making the most of the programming libraries at hand and producing top-notch games that can be used from Pocket PC 2002 onwards.

With such a broad compatibility demographic, I’ve already seen it; Pocket PC game production is issuing better games for common operating systems and is possible nearing its zenith for quality.

If things continue like this it will certainly put a crimp on our future Windows Mobile upgrades.
