App Developers make more money on Apple iTunes than Android Market

A major brand in the UK has informed us  that over 50% of its apps downloaded on the Android Market are refunded within 48 hours of the initial apps download.
This compared to 5% on Apples  store for the same product. It is a pretty staggering difference in the amount of customers returning the products.

Information Overload Edition
Summer is almost gone, oh no! But it means that this winter’s gaming releases are getting a lot more well-documented, especially this week, as the internet has been flooded with hundreds of choice nuggets of information on the latest and greatest games.

Gaming Weekly – Pokémon is Serious, Mind Jacking and Duke is Forever

This is President Eden, and it’s time we had a talk.
Everyone who doesn’t understand type/element matchups in Pokémon needs to quit the game, the country and life.
Seriously, you’d think that everyone would have worked it out by now; it’s the simplest system ever. IGN need not have links to a strategy guide for type [...]

Gaming Weekly – Spartans Reach, Newspapers hate Games and Sonys Profits rise

The ODST issue
It’s more likely than you think.
After spending the best part of yesterday hunting down the hidden audio logs in ODST, a thought occurred to me: why isn’t this game bigger? I mean, yes it was sort of an expansion, but to be honest the level of detail and awesomeness of the game’s New [...]

Gaming Weekly – Naughty Bear, Facebook for Games and Uk Gaming gets funds!

Get outside, you filthy people.
Summer’s here! Which means the gaming industry doesn’t release anything apart from passable crap, and everybody plays Call of Duty whenever it rains.
But, you on the other hand need to invest some time thinking what you could be doing apart from gaming in this long period of inactivity (Students, I’m looking [...]

Gaming Weekly – Golden Wrenches, Halo Reaches to Blood Gulch and XBLA gets a facelift?

One Quick Announcement:
In the previous gaming weekly, the writer thought it would be funny to insert many references to the song Riverside, featuring Sidney Samson and some sort of rapper called Wizard Sleeve. This may have both shocked and confused our reader base, and as a result said writer has been wired into www.leekspin.com, Clockwork [...]
