That aside, I feel current multi-touch/tilt games feel... gimmick in a weird way. I mean... not like it's that hard to think of a way to use multi-touch, right? Like... a game like DMC, where you use one finger to guide your character and the other to execute attacks like... you slash left, you slash right... etc... Or a racing game where you use one finger to turn your car, and the other to strafe it... Or a game like Mirror's Edge where you have two analog nubs on the bottom right and left corners of the screen to navigate and to execute any action, you just need to tap the screen in designated coordinates.

Those are just for multi-touch. Obviously with the tilt sensor, there can be much more fun. They just haven't paid that much attention.

Oh, and having Flash on the iPhone might or might not be able to remedy this problem... well... depending on whether Adobe would support multi-touch and tilt, either via natural classes or via fscommands... I'll take a look at it if it's ever out, and maybe I'll buy an iPhone just so I can experiment with that.
Yeah the PSP is lacking interest in developers, you see a lot of multiplatform titles for PS3, XBOX 360, Wii and DS but no PSP love.Though this might be a good year with Kingdome Hearts, Dissidia, Resistance and others on the way.

I need to buy a laptop but I could not buy a netbook because I plan to do a little gaming in it. Need to buy a 8600/9600 GT or equivalent on it, I have missed a lot of pc games this 2 years.
