iPhone - would you play WoW on this? - Image 1Hmm, we've reported about this just two weeks back but we felt it was worth touching back on as PocketGamer airs some pretty interesting points regarding this rumor.

For those who missed that post, here's a quick overview. iPhone World got a tip from an anonymous and reliable source that World of Warcraft is coming to the iPhone and also Video iPod. According to the said source, he/she saw a beta of WoW on the said Apple products.

Curiously, the anonymous Apple person (so much for Apple's well guarded secrects) claimed, "Watch out for the iPhone and their new video iPod when it comes to gaming. Imagine playing WoW on them using the touch screen interface. Think of the impact it's going to have on the handheld game market and Apple’s revenue." This rumor was greeted with a mixture of absolute disbelief and some sort of "I wonder if it's really possible".

According to PocketGamer, the iPhone's (and Video iPod's) leap from conventional mobile gaming to online gaming is just hard to compute. They are not completely discrediting the information since the iPhone reportedly has a full OS X (WoW has been successfully ported to the Mac OS). Throw the ARM11 processor into the pot plus touch screen capabilities and you get something that would resemble a handheld.

Could it really be true? Stay tuned for more updates and let's hope that the next Apple person we hear from is reliable sans the anonymity.

WoW Orc


"Stop playing on the computer and come down for dinner! NOW!"

It's a frequent line screamed by a mother to her child every time a household war is waged. Mom wants to have attention, child wants World of Warcraft. Mom says "Stop it!", child screams "ORLY?". It's true that MMORPGs are addicting and it's been the cause of a lot of domestic squabbles.

Mothers of WoW-playing kids will be happy with the parental controls that the upcoming Mac OS X Leopard has to offer. Apple has revealed that parents can specify time restrictions when their kids can play games like WoW. This feature also has a remote control setup, which means parents can set the restrictions from anywhere.

Of course, while moms would sleep better at night knowing that their children finished their homework, the kids got it bad like whoa.

"W0rk, w0rk, w0rk! Mom is teh win!!!11"
