Lazer Tag Toys Use iPhone for Augmented Reality Aiming

Lazer tag has come a long way since the days of cheaply-made body armor and less than realiable infrared guns. Now, Nerf has upgraded their Lazer Tag system to include augmented reality to make blasting your friends and opponents even more fun.

Spotted on Engadget, the new guns feature a slot to load your iPhone or iPod Touch that, when paired with the appropriate app, displays a HUD that provides your power level, leaderboard progress, equipped gear, and even the trajectory of your shots. Continued sessions will grant you better loot to expand your arsenal of gear and attack types.



If you don't have a friendly body nearby, the app will allow you to go rounds with virtual enemies.
Nerf's new Lazer Tag system will be available starting August 1. Individual guns will set you back $40, picking up a pair will cost $70

Mega Man X Blasts Onto iPhone

Capcom's blue bomber invades Apple's platform for a bargain-friendly price.

If you want to relive the thrilling stages of the SNES smash hit Mega Man X on your iPhone or iPod Touch, head to the App Store today. For $4.99, players can take on Sigma and his robot army in this remake that features an on-screen visual control pad, graphics optimized for the Retina display, iOS-only cheat codes, and two different difficulty levels. As you can see in the screenshots below, the graphics are slightly more cartoonish than the original version, but it looks sharp nonetheless.

Mega Man X is compatible with Game Center as well, including 80 challenges, achievements, and leaderboards. Let's hope it fares better on iOS than the frustratingly difficult Mega Man II did.
