We’ve seen a lot of different things that can be used to destroy zombies, but Pro Zombie Soccer from the Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team takes it to a whole new level. You’ll use soccer balls to take out the zombies, realign orbital weapons platforms, and launch death rays. Yup, soccer balls can sure come in handy…

Kariosoft is the sneakiest (in a good way) company in gaming as they tend to drop games randomly without any warning. Watching for the Japanese versions is generally the best way to see what’s coming and this month two new Kairosoft titles have appeared in the market with Card Change and Shining Kairobot.

A few days ago we reported that the AT&T One X and the Sprint EVO 4G LTE were being held up at the U.S. Customs, and were being investigated for infringement for Apple patent #5,946,647, which involves the messaging application. This resulted in obvious delays and a complete cancellation of the EVO 4G LTE launch on Sprint.
Taipe Times is reporting that some of HTC’s “products” are now allowed to enter the U.S. market after passing the customs review.
“Some of our products have passed the review and have been delivered to our telecoms operators’ clients in the US,” HTC said in a statement submitted to the Taiwan Stock Exchange yesterday.
Which products we don’t know. It’s interesting that they used the word “products” not smartphones. Were there other product categories that were held up? It seems unlikely that the Apple patent involved would hold up anything else, but I guess it’s also possible that the shipment might have included accessories that were “automatically” held up as a result since they were part of the same shipment. Maybe the statement is referring to those “products.”
It’s also possible that other phones were held up as well. For example, the T-Mobile One S wasn’t mentioned in any previous stories, but I would assume it’s subject to the same patent issue. Other older models could have been held up as well.
Also in an odd statement is this:
“The company is closely working with the US customs to speed up the review,” HTC said in the statement. “The company is confident that the problem will be resolved soon.”
It’s obvious that all the “products” or smartphones haven’t been released so we really don’t have much else to report. We really don’t know what products or smartphones have been cleared. Could the release of the EVO 4G LTE be immanent? Either way it’s at least positive news since HTC was expecting up to 3 weeks to pass the Customs review, and the fact that it appears HTC already corrected the problem to begin with, doesn’t hurt.
Stay tuned as we will report it as soon as we hear it.

How about a really hot gaming sale to kick of your Memorial Day Weekend? Because We May is celebrating those app stores that give developers the ability to price their accomplishments however they wish. As a result there are 39 titles that will go on sale between May 24 and June 1 in the Google Play Store. It’s not limited to the Play Store as you will also find a bunch other titles for the iOS App Store, Steam, the Mac App Store, and others.
There still could be even more games by the time the 24th rolls around since developers have until the 22nd to jump onboard. So far the list has some really good titles like World of Goo, Shadowgun, Riptide GP, and Osmos. This is a great opportunity to try out some new games. Unfortunately we don’t have the sale prices yet, but hit the break for the complete Google Play Store list along with links for each game.

After months of deliberation, Chinese antitrust and competition authorities have finally given the green light on Google’s acquisition of Motorola Mobility. The Chinese approval of Google’s latest venture was one of several that were required in order for the deal to go through. It’s not a secret that China and Google have had some beef in the not too distant past and it was unclear whether Google would ever get China’s blessing on the matter. China was the final obstacle in the series of regulators to authorize the merger, officially sealing the deal.
This should be especially good news for Google stock holders and Android movement activists everywhere. Though there is still some worry about Motorola getting favored above the other manufacturers, the future of Android is a little more secure thanks to the several thousand patents acquired from the merger.

Here’s a bit of news I bet you had no idea was in the pipeline. It appears as though GameStop is getting ready to enter the cellular arena as GameStop Mobile and will front as an AT&T MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). No, you will not be able to buy new phones from the video game retailer, but you will be able to bring in your own carrier-unlocked device as long as it can work on AT&T’s 850MHz and 1,900MHz bands. I guess at one point in time you could actually see GameStop Mobile’s webpage but it has since been pulled down. Lucky for us Engadget was able to grab a few details surrounding the upcoming service, and according to them the plans will be contract-free and will begin at $5 and go on up to $55 for a monthly plan with unlimited voice, text and just 500MB of data. For those who are interested in a data-only plan, you can choose the 1GB a month deal at the high price of $55 a month.
As far as the webpage goes, we will include the link below so you can see what it looks like, but at this point in time you will notice it requires a password to go any further. I guess we will just have to wait for the official details as they emerge. Stay tuned…
