As a part of that process they released an update of the original game for modern systems. Now that Fallout is safely ensconced in the arms of Bethesda, some of the original creators had ran a Kickstarter campaign to resurrect the Wasteland series with a sequel. You should at least know the series it inspired, Fallout. You can be forgiven if you don’t remember Wasteland, it came out during the era of the Apple II and Commodore 64. What Sucks: Server errors crashing games is frustrating, system should fall back to asynchronous game.īuy it?: If you’re looking for a fun quiz game with a lot of variety, and great multiplayer grab Quiz Up for free on the App Store.

What’s Good: Fun multiplayer game, good variety of topics. Sometimes the rematches error out randomly, though usually on the first question. Each topic has its own leveling system as well, tracking your progress and correct answers. (Occasionally you get a picture with your questions.) You can always have a rematch, though not if you want to switch topics. You’re given your question and four possible answers. You and a friend face off, the game can run either simultaneously or asynchronously. If you see something that needs its own quiz, you can submit your own questions. You can choose to do your seven questions about things as general as Poetry or as specific as Xbox Games. (If you prefer your social networking gaming free, you can just use an account with Quiz Up and play random opponents.) Unlike most trivia games, there is a huge array of topics. It is a social game, using your Facebook and Twitter lists to draw opponents you know. There are some trivia games on iOS, but nothing as quickly accessible as Quiz Up. Trivia may not be for everyone, but those who love Trivia, love it completely.

Finally, there was some IAP controversy this week when the Angry Birds cart racing game had a $100 item. An Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag tie in for iOS, Pirates will be released next week. The new Xbox brought a new version of Microsoft’s Smartglass app. Though some gamers will welcome this, it does seem a shame to rely on controllers just as developers begin to experiment with new touch implementations. The biggest of which was the debut of the first iPhone game controller from Logitech. There was a bit of gaming news this week.
