Blog Cathode Tan and game site Next-Gen chime in and ponder if the code named iTV, an upcoming device that streams digital media from TV to computer, will include gaming capabilities. We don't know much at this point, but perhaps it could power those new iPod games. The Apple Remote could then be used as a game controller. But, honestly, what the hell's the point? Apple, we're sick of waiting around, speculating and rumor-mongering. Get to cracking on a new game machine. And, for goodness sake, make it good. Brian Ashcraft More »
