    ThatotherDev a Coder who has released homebrew for the PS3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and Windows has posted this news:

    This is an updated version of Slime Roll.
    Notable changes:
    The red circles have been removed and replaced with blue ones that are of a consistent size.
    If slime comes in contact with a blue circle then the blue circle becomes slime.
    There is on screen text that tells you how many blue circles still exist.
    When placing slime in the editor you no longer need to press and release the button for each piece of slime.
    There is a limit to how closely you can place two pieces of slime together in the editor.
    The same rules for placing slime in the editor also apply to the blue circles.
    You can now delete whatever object you are pointing at in the editor (instead of only being able to delete the last thing spawned).
    The X in the editor has been replaced with a proper reticule.
    There is a slightly nicer title at the menu.
    All on screen text fills the same percentage of the screen regardless of resolution.
    I’ve fixed the problem where there would sometimes be inappropriate white pixels along the edges of circles.
    gravity is slightly stronger.
    PS3 controls:
    Left analog stick = Move the camera
    L1 and R1 = rotate the camera and the direction of gravity
    L2 and R2 = zoom the camera in and out
    X (in the editor) spawn a wall (hold and drag to scale)
    Circle (in the editor) spawn a blue blob
    Square (in the editor) spawn slime
    Triangle (in the editor) remove whatever you are pointing at

    Yearning to relive the classics (Lunar Lander, anyone?) on your iPad, replete with that authentic arcade feel? It wasn't long ago that we reviewed ThinkGeek and Ion's formidable iCade, but at $100, it was -- and still is -- a pricey portion to stomach for an occasional retro gaming fix. Fast forward to the present, and Atari's paired with Discovery Bay Games to create their own official spin on an iPad arcade adapter, fittingly dubbed the Arcade Duo-Powered Joystick. Unlike the iCade, it doesn't use Bluetooth and requires no batteries -- you simply dock your iPad into its 30-pin connector. The joypad is specifically made to work with Atari's Greatest Hits app, and it's set to land in early October for a slightly more wallet-friendly price of $60. We were able to slam its controls a bit while playing through various levels of Major Havoc and the like, and you'll find our impressions after the break.

    2. Nintendo 3DS News

    MCV laughed at the idea just last month, but if there’s one thing you know about Nintendo it’s that you never know what it will do next.
    Scans of the latest issue of weekly Japanese games magazine Famitsu reveal that the rumoured second analogue stick add-on for 3DS is in fact very real.
    The device, pictured, effectively cradles the entire unit and adds a second analogue control stick on the far right of the device. It also adds some quite substantial bulk to the unit.
    Andrasang reports that it is called the ‘Expansion Slide Pad’. The second stick is actually smaller than the one already found on the unit.
    Compatibility with Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3G has been confirmed, though it remains unclear whether the peripheral has been designed specifically for the popular action RPG series.
    Monster Hunter supervisor Ryozo Tsujimoto says that the device “provides a good grip on the system”, describing it as “a secret weapon" which will allow you to play the game with the same feeling as playing Monster Hunter 3 on Wii”.

    2. PS3 News

    Microsoft may well have a "massive lead" when it comes to hardware sales, but the PlayStation 3 is seeing much stronger growth in software sales, so says Sony's publisher relations chief Rob Dyer.
    Speaking in an interview with IndustryGamers, Dyer admitted that sales of Microsoft's machine out-paced the PlayStation 3, with one PS3 sold for every 1.6 Xbox 360 units.
    However, he argued that where customers have a choice over which version of a game to buy, they're plumping for the PS3 SKU thanks to superior bonus content.
    "If you have a choice between buying a PS3 version and an Xbox version of Mortal Kombat, which one are you buying? You're buying the PS3 version because you can play as Kratos," he offered as way of an example.
    "Although Microsoft has a 1.6 to 1 index ratio against us [on hardware], we outsold them on Mortal Kombat nearly at a one to one. So that is due in large part to the exclusive content that you're getting on disc. You'll see that happening on almost every case where we've had a game that they've supported with on disc content or with exclusive DLC."
    And Dyer cited a number of other examples where multiplatform releases had performed better on PS3 than the 1.6 hardware ratio might predicate. Based on NPD data, Medal of Honor came in at 1.2, LA Noire at 1.22 and NBA 2K11 at 0.93.
    He also pointed to Portal 2's performance on the system, helped by Steam integration and a free copy of the PC version, as another indicator that customers would rather play the PS3 version. Though it sold at a 1.6 ratio, "it is below the total index for shooting genre title on both platforms of 1.9."
    Given the 360's strength in the FPS field, Dyer is also particularly pleased with how Medal of Honor sold on Sony's system.
    "So here Microsoft owns the shooter category where... everyone talks about how that's their genre. Medal of Honor, because we gave away a free copy of Frontline on the disc, wildly over indexed on ours. Microsoft absolutely felt that," he explained.
    But what of this year's Modern Warfare 3? Dyer shrugged off concerns that the Microsoft had the fight sewn up by virtue of its timed DLC exclusives.
    "They're going to be a month exclusive... But they're not running any higher than what the index ratio is - they're right at 1.6. In spite of all the millions that Microsoft has spent on that relationship with Activision, people aren't voting to buy a 360 version of that over and above a PS3 version, given the installed base."
    And when it comes to this year's other sure-fire FPS blockbuster, Battlefield 3, he argued that the inclusion of Battlefield 1943 on the game disc should give Sony the edge.
    "As much as people might associate Call of Duty and the shooting genre with 360, we don't see that as a cause for alarm right now. What we're hoping for, given the announcement we made at E3 with Battlefield, we believe that we are going to have a major player here with EA on our platform - and well over indexed given what we're doing with them in order to promote that title."

    "VMware's mission to bring virtualization to the mobile market gained a major supporter last week whenSamsung pledged to use VMware software to build business-friendly smartphones and tablets. The project known as Horizon Mobile will let Android phones use virtual machine technology to run a second instance of Android, in much the same way virtualization works on servers and desktops. The user essentially has two completely separate phones running on one device, and can switch from the personal one to the corporate one by clicking a 'work phone' icon."There are others pushing alternative approaches to virtualization on mobile devices.

    We remember playing Theme Park for hours on our Super Nintendos, but if you were more into PC gaming in the late '90s you might remember the brilliant Rollercoaster Tycoon.

    The full 3D theme park sim, which has sold 11 million units since its release in 1999, lets you build a full theme park an almost overwhelming number of options and a deep rollercoaster customisation tool. Then put on your business hat and manage every aspect of your park's finances until you're successful enough to move on to the next country and do it all again.

    Rollercoaster Tycoon 3D contains a new 'Coaster Story' mode, which promises to "blend together tutorials and park challenges into a cohesive and entertaining narrative".

    According to Atari: "Choose your own player character and set off on a journey around the world to expand your roller coaster empire. As you progress, you'll unlock tons of unique attractions, themes, amenities and more."

    The game will also have a 'Park Sandbox' mode which lets you jump in and just build a park. You'll also be able to share your park via the 3DS' "advanced networking capabilities" - whether this means StreetPass and/or full online functionality is unclear.

    The game's in development at n-Space - the team often responsible for DS versions of blockbuster games such as the Call of Duty series, Goldeneye 007 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. It's set to launch in a vague '2012'. Check out the first trailer below:
