Video games have come a fair way since we were young, we were largely 80′s children so playing a game of pong on an Atari whilst being ultimately impressive at the time, just doesn’t cut it with today’s mega money video games with their flashy graphics.

We also remember playing a game on the Spectrum ZX, an egg called Dizzy, he lived in a wonderland and had arms and legs and would crack open when he fell off a platform and died, whatever happened to Dizzy?

We’ve wondered away from the point a little so let us get back on track, we wanted to tell you about how video games are already evolving further and we may just have found the most awesome new piece of tech available on the market today with the appBlaster iPhone Gun.

The game is one where you defend your position and man the stonghold against a swarm of aliens who have invaded earth and probably want to eat your brains (we might have made the last bit up). Nothing unusual or novel about a good old fashioned alien shoot em up we know, but here comes the clever bit.

Through the use of augmented reality the appBlaster allows you to play the game on your iPhone and using the accelerometer of your iPhone/iPod touch, the game rotates as you do, meaning you have to be truly looking around the room your in to ensure your not going to have the aliens eat your brains (again, we imagine that’s what they are trying to do).

It gets even better if you have an iPhone3GS or iPhone4 because using the rear facing camera of your device you can overlay the game against what your camera sees meaning if your playing the game in your living room, aliens will be jumping out from behind your sofa and emerging from behind walls from within your very own house!

Gaming has become so good because gamers are getting closer to the games and feeling more involved, with the appBlaster iPhone Gun you place yourself literally in the game itself and trust us, it is a truly awesome experience.
