Robot Rampage Mobile Game
A new iPhone game has just been released by Origin8 called Robot Rampage. This side scrolling game reminds us of the original Rampage game from the 1980′s because you can punch buildings.
Airplanes and helicopters try to take you out, but you can zap them with your laser beam. Destroy the city as you level up. Robot Rampage is available now in the iTunes store for $1.99.

Robot iPhone Parrot
Well, it doesn’t look anything like a parrot, but is a damn cool drone controlled by your iPhone!
Recently unveiled at the CES being currently held in Las Vegas, this drone is designed to fly inside or outside, seems easy to control and comes with 2 augmented reality games.
This drone is really a WiFi enabled helicopter with 4 blades and 2 cameras. It also comes with a hull that surrounds the blades for indoor flights. No word yet on pricing or availability.
Click through for a video of the drone in action.
