Take to the streets with Streets of Rage II for the iPhone

Hey kids, I'm back! After a busy few weeks I have returned to the Nomad Junkyard to report on iPhone ports and post the occastional SEGA Nomad related post. In iPhone news, Streets of Rage II has arrived on the iPhone for $2.99. I've yet to buy it myself, and probably won't unless a 99 cent sale rolls around. Gaming news website GamesRadar makes mention of audio problems, specifically distortion. Hopefully SEGA patches this ASAP.

In other news, there is a strong chance that I will film part 2 of my Pier Solar video tomorrow. Part 1 can be seen in the post below, and if you watch until the end, part 2 is said to feature the game being played on the SEGA Nomad. Ooooh!

What's The Big Fuss About White iPhone 4?

Recently there has been news that says the white iPhone 4 will be out by end of April. Well, we have been hearing its "intended" release dates ever since the black iPhone 4 was released. Seriously though, what is the big fuss about the release of a white colored iPhone??

The white iPhone 4 has been delayed time and time again and the speculations on the Internet over its release has sprout like mushrooms on every tech sites you can imagine. So what if the white iPhone 4 is being released? I certainly won't care. Definitely not when we're close to a new iPhone 5 being released. Would you get the white iPhone 4 knowing that iPhone 5 may likely be released in 3 or 4 more months later?

Angry Birds Rio 3 stars guide/walkthrough for Jungle Escape (Part 1)

Once again Angry Birds series has proven as addictive and as playable (very much if I may say) in the new title Angry Birds Rio. It has again topped the bestsellers in Apple's Appstore, unsurprisingly. With this new title, there is again the prospect of finishing each and every level with 3-Stars. With even more levels promised within the next year, we will see new obstacles and new achievements to be obtained. This will certainly help to quench the thirst of all Angry Birds fans.

I have personally finished all the levels in the first two themes (Smuggler's Den & Jungle Escape) and to tell you the truth, the levels are not that difficult to obtain the 3-Stars. You just have to keep on trying and keep going back until you hit that sweet spot. Walkthroughs are here to guide you on where to hit and how to hit them, but there are definitely many other ways in order to strike the 3-Stars. As before, I would advise that you try each levels yourselves first before seeking the walkthroughs.

Here are the walkthroughs...

redsn0w untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 on the iPhone & iPad

I'm always asked this question by my friends, "Hey dude, is the iPhone iOS 4.3.1 jailbreak out yet?" ever since iOS 4.3 was released. Finally, the Dev-team have released the latest jailbreak for the iOS 4.3.1. What more.... it is an untethered jailbreak. The tethered jailbreak was released earlier but I would always refrain people from using it. Imagine you are out and either your battery drained or you need to reboot your iPhone after a Cydia app installation or you have a non-responding phone which needed a hard boot? With a tethered jailbreak, you'll be running around like a headless chicken.

My first impressions of Angry Birds Rio

At the end of February 2011, we were treated to a preview of this new game which gave us a vague view of what is to come. Gone are the pigs that use to terrorize our birds and its offsprings (eggs). Gone are the snorting of the filthy little pigs that once laughed and taunt our birds from their hideous wodden castles.

Angry Birds fans will surely reqoice with the release of Angry Birds Rio. The new nemesis, humans apparently! Birds have been captured and shipped to the faraway land of Rio de Janeiro (hence the name Rio). Our birds have travelled along to save their comrades. They are caged and stored in shipping warehouses in which we will see hundreds and hundred of crates and chains use to stack the cages. The objective is to free the captured birds from their cages.
