Straight from the Capcom Mobile crew to your iPhone, it's KENKEN (not to be confused with Ken). This is basically puzzle master Will Shortz's favorite, more juicy version of Sudoku, and at only $4.99, this and it absolutely melts flights away.

Check out the KENKEN site here, hit the jump for full details, or just take the plunge and buy it now from the iTunes store.

One of our latest games, Dark Void, has a real historical scientist creating some of the tech in the game. For instance, the Jet Pack you'll be using constantly in the game. You'll recognize this scientist as Nikola Tesla. He'sresponsiblefor some of the most amazing research on the planet. In fact, one of his Laboratories in Long Island,Wardenclyffe, is up for sale.

The New York Times has an interesting read about it, and what Tesla did there. One of the mostfascinatingbits was that this was the site of an 18 story tower that Tesla had constructed, similar to his Tesla Coil. Aside from that, Tesla even started developing the worlds first schematics for ray-guns. In fact, they've even found four tanks on his property... and no one is exactly sure what he had in store for those.

Check out the full article here. Who knows what else is in there... Maybe even early proto-type jet packs.

Street Fighter IV Totally Dominates Prestigious Arcadia Awards

If you aren't keyed into the Japanese arcade scene, Arcadia Magazine is like the New York Times of arcade games-it's THE place to go in Japan for amazingly in-depth and expert coverage of a large amount of titles (and no, I don't write for them anymore!). They also sponsor the awesome Super Battle Opera tournament, so it's safe to say that these guys know what's up.

SFIV wasn't really in the running for any Game of the Year awards in the West, since it's "merely" an arcade game right now, but in the one place on earth where the game is in wide distribution, it's blowing everybody away.

Street Fighter IV won:

-GAME OF THE YEAR

-Best Graphics
-Best Production
-Best Character (Ryu)

I'm not sure a single game has ever been so dominant.

And just in case you thought SFIV was only popular with the Arcadia editors, here is where I tell you it also won the write-in Reader's Choice voting for best game of the year. Beastly!

Thanks MarkMan and Reno for the translations!
