Google's Roll It Chrome Experiment brings skee ball to your phone and browser

Google’s continuing to romance the casual gaming world with the unveiling of Roll It, the company’s latest Chrome Experiment. The title emulates that old boardwalk classic skee ball, utilizing your smartphone to aim and pitch the ball and the browser to emulate the familiar ring-sporting game alley. You can also play along with friends by sharing your handset, because there’s nothing sadder in this world than solitary skee ball. Google’s pitching Roll It, along with the recently announced Racer, as “a hint of what’s possible when web experiences are designed for a multi-player (and multi-device) world.” In the meantime, you can access the game at the source link below — or just check out a demo video after the break.

Griffin Technology announces the MOTO TC Monster

Have you heard of Griffin Technology before? Well, if you haven’t an inkling of an idea as to just who they are and what they do, here is a quick primer to get you started on the right footing – Griffin is rated to be one of the world’s foremost creators of innovations for everyday life, where their latest addition to the market would be their latest remote-controlled accessories known as the MOTO TC Monster, as well as the MOTO TC Racer, where both of them are tipped to roll out sometime later in the middle of November.

Both the MOTO TC Monster App and the MOTO TC Racer App will offer touch controls for iOS devices for the respective remote controlled cars, virtually placing you in the driver’s seat where you have the freedom and flexibility to create, record and replay custom routes. The MOTO TC Monster can be picked up for $59.99 a pop, where it comes in the form of a remote-controlled monster truck which relies on Bluetooth connectivity to iOS devices for its controls. Once you have downloaded the free MOTO TC Monster App, you are able to make full use of your “driving license” to so speak in a quartet of way :-

Touch: maneuver using a virtual steering wheel and throttle on the Multi-Touch display
Motion: control steering by tilting the iOS device
Slide: slide a finger across the Multi-Touch display to direct the truck
Tracks: drive using a series of preset routes already configured in the app, including figure eights and track laps

The MOTO TC Racer would not be a monster truck, but rather, a remote-controlled car which comes with an integrated RF (radio frequency) transmitter that paves the way for an easy set-up as well as automatic connection. Once you have downloaded the forthcoming MOTO TC Racer App, you can drive it using the joystick or tilt control. Which would you gun for?
