I can’t believe that Cave is going to be porting this game (and many others it appears) to the iPhone. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for this game to his the App Store, but at the same time I know that it’s not going to be exactly like its namesake.
Mushihime-sama Gaiden: Bug Panic (lit: Bug Princess Legend: Bug Panic), will be the first of many of the games that Cave has made over the years to be ported to the iPhone in the European and American market. This begs the question…why all of a sudden are they interested in the iPhone of all platforms?
Turns out that since there’s no hardware involved (besides the phone itself), there is no need for them to find a distributor for the content…unlike how consoles operate. I know for sure I’ll be picking up everything they want to throw at us iPhone nerds. Cave’s one hell of a shooter company.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
