Madden NFL Makes Its Debut on Facebook

By anthony | Published: September 1, 2010
Electronic Arts’ wildly successful Madden NFL franchise has made the leap from the Xbox to Facebook. The gaming giant has launched Madden NFL Superstars , the company’s second social game since it acquired social game maker Playfish . The company’s first social game, FIFA Superstars , is one of Facebook’s most popular apps with nearly 4 million monthly active users. Madden NFL Superstars isn’t a port of the popular console games; it’s a completely new experience that utilizes the Madden NFL brand and leverages social gaming’s strengths for a unique Madden experience. Users build a team from 1,500+ available player cards and then pit their rosters against their friends for domination of the football field

Gesture Search Available for Android 1.6 [Updates]

By melissa | Published: March 17, 2010
Gesture Search, Google's umpteenth attempt to give you input options other than a tiny virtual keyboard, has made the leap down to Android 1.6 , meaning those with G1s, myTouch 3Gs, Heros, and other non-Droid, non-Nexus phones can give it a go. Having used and challenged Gesture Search since first reviewing it , I'm finding that it's a better option for when you're walking and typing, quickly calling, or otherwise unable to concentrate on a full typing action. Maybe those are also good times to just not have the phone out, sure, but it's a handy alternative for such times.
