In addition to the episodic "Watchmen" beat 'em up coming to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, Glu Mobile is working on a mobile "Watchmen" title.

Our colleagues over at MTV Splash Page have the exclusive first look at this handheld "Watchmen" adventure, which shows 2D versions of fan-favorite characters Dr. Manhattan, Nite Owl and The Comedian.

Details are scarce on the mobile version at the moment, but MTV Splash Page takes the time to break down what the screen shots tell us about this tiny version of "Watchmen" so far.

Will you play the "Watchmen" mobile game?

In only half a year, iPhone games have already come a long way and every time I'm shown a new batch, they continue to impress me.

At a brief iPhone event held by Apple this week in San Francisco, the company showcased a number of upcoming applications and games, including Electronic Arts' "Need For Speed Undercover."

This mobile "Need For Speed" is the best looking 3D iPhone game I've seen. The visuals are somewhere between DS and a PSP, leaning towards the latter. EA has also learned from other iPhone racers and modified accelerometer controls so you don't have to tilt the phone 90-degrees to make the car move.

Plus, price. The PSP version costs $39.99, the DS version is $29.99. The iPhone one isn't as full-featured -- there are fewer cars and there's not an open-world to explore -- but $9.99 is a heck of a lot more tempting.

The iPhone version arrives in December. Are you going to download it?

'DUI: The Long Ride Home'

For those of you who never found "GTA" all that controversial, let me introduce you to "DUI: The Long Ride Home."

I discovered this game as I was scanning a press release today about a new tilt-sensitive line of mobile games. A company called TiltnTwist is offering a snowboarding game, "Snowboarding TNT," any a skydiving game, "DropZone."

Fine. Fine.

But do they have any games that challenge me to take a breathalyzer or sneak into bed without waking up my wife?

Sure they do. Enter: "DUI: The Long Ride Home": Read more...

Reset Generation

"We codenamed the title 'Project Whiterock' because we really were going for a crack-like experience. We wanted something unfairly addictive. That's actually our mission: unfairly addictive. And you look in all the press and it says 'addictive.' Almost every article has the word 'addictive' in it. But I'm realizing, especially at PAX, we didn't get crack -- we got beer. It's like the first time you drink it, you say 'what the f*** is this?' and then, the next thing you know, you're in a 12-step program. How did this happen?!"

--"Reset Generation" producer Scott Foe describing Nokia's ambitions for their mobile strategy puzzle game this past weekend at PAX 2008

Gamers are everywhere these days -- even Turkey.

I learned this while taking in a short demo of the Turkish-developed medieval action RPG "Mount & Blade" yesterday.

Before this, I didn't even know there were Turkish developers.

Since I had one in front of me, I asked TaleWorlds co-founder Armagan Yavuz what Turkish gamers are interested in (other than his own game, obviously!).

Yavuz told me that cell phone and web-based games are very popular in Turkey. He also said an MMO set in Istanbul and a "Resident Evil"-like thriller also set in Istanbul -- are we noticing a pattern? -- are both well-known, though he couldn't recall the name for either.

Doesn't sound too different from what we play in the United States. Readers, what have you noticed people playing during your international travels?

I have brought shame upon the house of MTV Multiplayer, readers.

The cocky attitude I brought to the table after destroying IGN at "Reset Generation" last week did not translate into any actual…skills...in the second round.

Writer Chris Hudak of Playboy, Game Revolution and other outlets swiftly destroyed me in less than four minutes. Half the time I didn't even know what he was doing! One minute, I'd be a move away from stealing his princess, and then suddenly his character was invisible and the round was over!

It happened far too quickly for me to even process what happened. Clearly, Hudak had been smart enough to actually practice before entering the tournament. Afterward, he called me to talk "Reset Generation" strategies and all I could do was politely nod my head. Most of what he said went over my head.

This is why I never play strategy games! If you're so inclined, you can continue to monitor the progress of the tournament right over here.
