By Steven Strom
Zenimax Media, the massive company that owns id Software and Bethesda Softworks, has finally made their dispute against Oculus Rift official.The company is suing the virtual reality manufacturer for... Well, a lot of things, really. The gist of the situation is that Zenimax claims Oculus stole technology pertaining to virtual reality that make the Oculus Rift headset possible. This was allegedly done with the help of John Carmack, co-creator of id and franchises like Doom and Quake, and a half-dozen other Zenimax employees.According to Zenimax, Carmack and the other employees developed VR technology under Zenimax contract. After passing off this technology to Oculus they joined the tech start-up (Carmack is Oculus' Chief Technology Officer) and continued to support the technology they had already developed.The Wolf Among Us returns May 27th

By Jim Squires
Did you just check your calendar to see if it was April Fool's Day? Me too, but this is no joke. Epic Games has just launched their latest title, Tappy Chicken, to the App Store and Google Play.And yes. It's a Flappy Bird clone.Unlike other Flappy Bird clones, this one is powered by Unreal Engine 4. It was also created by one artist on the Epic Games team with zero programming skills. In other words, this is a showcase for what anybody can do using the latest version of Unreal Engine.That's some clever marketing, Epic. I know you can't hear it over the internet, but I'm giving you a slow golf clap right now.It's nothing groundbreaking, but I'll be damned if Tappy Chicken doesn't have me curious about trying the "Blueprint Visual Scripting" in UE4 that created this. Tappy Chicken is a free download on the App Store and Google Play.You can try to make your own games with a $19/month subscription at unrealengine.com.Get Educated: $1200 of Game Design Training for $79

By Jim Squires
If you're a developer making a free-to-play games and you're not sure which mobile platform to target first, you'll probably want to check out today's App Monetization and Engagement Report from the mobile analytics firm Swrve.

Developers are seeing 45% more revenue per user according to Swrve's report. They further claim that there are 32% more users being monetized on iOS than Android, and that paying users are spending 10% more on iOS too.In other words, it's a clean sweep.

By Steven Strom
It's pretty clear the folks at Google have an appreciation for games. Their fully functional version of Pac-Man for the game's 30th anniversary garnered some attention. Searching for "do a barrel roll" will make your browser do just that, and the ever-present Konami Code interacts with a number of Google services, like Drive and the Google Play app.Today the company is celebrating a different kind of gaming. Today is the 40th anniversary of the Rubik's Cube, and in honor of that occasion you can play a fully interactive version of the puzzle block in your browser.The popular 80's fad doesn't predate video games (it was released in 1974, several years after Spacewar! and the Magnavox Odyssey) but it does hearken back to a simpler time. Though now, I suppose you might say Google has made it into a video game.Super Monkey Ball is going… Peggle?
By Jim Squires
Super Monkey Ball is more than a great franchise, it's also an important footnote in mobile gaming history. When Apple debuted the iPhone's gaming capabilities (back in the days of disco and cavemen, if I remember correctly), Super Monkey Ball was the showcase item that proved iPhone gaming might be more than just a gimmick.Now, after a lengthy break from the App Store, AiAi and friends are back - but not as you're expecting.Rather than a typical entry in the series with a shiny coat of 2014, Super Monkey Ball Bounce is SEGA's attempt to capture the Peggle crowd. If they feel a little late to the party on this one, just remember - King's Papa Pear Saga from last year follows the same formula, and has had no trouble staying in the Top 100 grossing games list on the App Store.
