Hotandroidphones.com is a relatively new site that has up for sale a lot of android based phones and accessories. Most of the stuff up for sale there is around 30 to 50% off. So if you’re up for switching to a new phone that isn’t an Iphone definitely give the site a check. There’s a lot of neat accessories for dirt cheap like cases, and chargers. Heck I got my otterbox for my galaxy s2 for $15 off that site!

The Joystiq Show is charting a new course, and this week we take a first step towards a totally revamped show.
First up is an interview with Ken Levine of Irrational Games on BioShock Infinite. Xav and Levine talk storytelling, game mechanics, Irrational’s plans for BioShock on PlayStation Vita, and the relief of finally getting a release date.
In part two, Ludwig talks with Tim Schafer of Double Fine about the roller coaster ride of its goal-smashing Kickstarter campaign, and the unexpected work that comes with such a large …

To all would-be parents, how prepared are you for the big day? You could probably stand to brush up on some important child-raising skills. For instance, how far can you toss a baby? You’ll never know when you’ll need to chuck a child out of harm’s way!
Kyle Pulver’s Offspring Fling, which I brought to your attention last month, is now available for either PC or Mac for $7.99. It’s a cute puzzle-platformer with a pastel aesthetic similar to Yoshi’s Island. And you get to throw babies — I don’t think …

Care to take a walk down memory lane by way of the information superhighway? Good, because 21st century digital natives and Luddites alike could stand to benefit from some virtual navel-gazing. In what’s essentially a ‘look at how far we’ve come’ exhibit, My Life Scoop, Intel’s “connected lifestyle” site, has a collection of the more notable experiments that’ve sprung from our surprising interactions with the internet. Starting from the dial-up days of the mid-90′s and working up to the near present, curious users can peep the wacky ways we’ve …

The future is here but apparently didn’t bring any of the cool shit it promised—no flying cars, no hover boards, no sexbots. But at least we can be thankful that haven’t been screwed out of auto-turrets. More »

So I was walking into my friendly neighborhood Gamestop today for my weekly PS2/GCN/DS game run, and I happened to see a brand new shrinkwrapped copy of the Devil May Cry HD Collection – a game that was slated to be released next week (4/3/12). After inquiring about it, the employee informed me that Capcom had broken street date for the game.
We have contacted Capcom for comment, but be sure and call up your local store if you want a shot at getting the collection early. DMC HD features Devil May Cry 1 …

Character customization is an important part of Dragon’s Dogma, both for your character and for the AI-controlled “pawns” you can summon and share with other players. That concept is extending to the Capcom Store’s pre-order bonus, a “Bobble Budd” toy that you can redesign as you see fit.
The Bobble Budd, exclusively available from Capcom’s online store, comes with a blank Budd, four weapon/shield accessories, and two sheets of decals for eyes, mouths, and other features. We don’t want to sound too down on the game when we say this …

Way back at the start of 2011, we told you about a Sonic the Hedgehog 2 fan remake that was in the works. The appropriately named Sonic 2 HD is exactly what it sounds like: the classic Genesis game we all remember, updated with hi-res assets. It’s not to be confused with Sonic Fan Remix, a similar project that completely overhauls the look of the original while threatening to be a little too busy. In contrast, Sonic 2 HD attempts to remain faithful to the source while adding a few …

In a move that would be reminiscent of its initial plans for the Nexus handsets, the Wall Street Journal suggests Google will open its own online store this year, but stocked with tablets instead of phones. The Android tablets would be built by Samsung and ASUS who already offer the well received Galaxy Tab and Transformer lines, but have been unable to make a dent in marketshare comparable to that of Apple or even Amazon. Other details seem to be less clear, including the possibility of the lineup including …
