      Reminds me a little of Super Rub a Dub, a PS3 title that uses the PS3's SIXAXIS for tilt control. My daughter thinks its a cartoon, so I can get away with playing it for a little bit while hanging out with her in the den. :-)

      Gamplay doesn't look at all like Rub a Dub. That would be a fun game to see ported/cloned though. I'm still hanging out for Rolando though. :)

      Why doesn't Apple make a screencapture program for making movies like they have playing in the Apple Stores? It would really help developers avoid these kind of out-of-focus hard-to-see demo videos that don't do their software any justice.

      Super Rub a Dub from the PS3 would be an EXCELLENT game for the iPhone as already mentioned. I'd say its a marriage made in heaven :) I love it on my PS3 and was just thinking about an iPhone port of it the other day - would be superb.
