I think they only posted a generic version of TGB or TGE.

I've emailed them twice with no response yet. Ok, so I'm all over the GG website, where's the download for this thing if it's available? I've emailed them twice with no response yet.

That's not my issue. My issue is they resized nice smoothly lit and anti-aliased Marble Blast shots and fit them to the iPhone screen. That's dishonest! In reality, you'll be cutting geometry detail down a crap ton, texture detail, you name it. I know it's good business to look better than your competition, but I don't think it deserves praise until they can demo it. Not to mention, the mysterious licensing costs. A percentage? A whopping flat rate? This announcement is intent, nothing more. No doubt. That's not my issue.

There's a reason the current crop of games look like high-poly PS1 games. That's great... but... uh... the iPhone hardware isn't *that* good.
