so...does anyone else see the smart phone as a reboot for consoles?
all these games doing well are the kind of games that could have been run on an NES. As we get more and more powerful smart phones will we see the same things?

Not sure if it's a reboot for newer consoles, but it's definitely the replacement for the Nintendo DS, PSP, etc.

Like this game--iShoot, is basically ScorchedEarth which came out for DOS in like 1994 (or that's when I first played it anyway).
It is fun though--I bought one.

I played this game back on my first DOS computer with Gorillas throwing bananas. Found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillas_(computer_game)
It looks like it originated on Apple II in 1980, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery_game
