I was recently in Newark International Airport, who is one of the select few airports that I regularly fly through that doesn't have complimentary WiFi. However, they do have Boingo, which offers 30 minute complimentary WiFi access....
I was recently flying down to Cancún for my winter break, and I was doing one of the Sudoku puzzles they have in the back of the in-flight magazine. I got stuck at some point, and found myself wondering if there was an easy way to write...
In Part I, I talked about the five major categories of game, which I dubbed endless, leveled, RTS, endless leveled, and personal competition. Now unless you're developing mobile games just for the thrill of people playing them, at some...
