The Most Beautiful Game In The App Store Gets A Massive Update (AAPL)

Infinity Blade

Infinity Blade is not only one of the most graphically impressive games in the App Store, but it's also one of the most fun.

We've spent countless hours slashing our way (in slow-mo, of course) through battles with giant beasts and demons alike.

The game is easy to learn, but is  difficult to become a true master at.

If you haven't bought Infinity Blade yet, now might be the time, because developer Chair Entertainment is adding multiplayer, survival mode, and a few other goodies like new swords and rings.

When you play against a friend, one of you will be able to control the giant beast, while the other controls the knight. In survival mode, you'll see how long you can go without dying.

The new multiplayer element should add tons of replay value to the title, and makes it definitely worth the $2.99 if you're a fan of epic sword battles.

Oh, and this game looks unbelievable on the iPad 2.

Oil Companies Not Prepared To Respond to Massive Arctic Spill

Harsh weather conditions, darkness, and shifting sea ice could delay efforts to respond to offshore oil disasters in the remote Arctic by six months or more, and likely result in oil being trapped in and under the ice for years, according to a new report. The report by the Pew Environment Group, which comes as the oil industry pushes for the increasingly ice-free Arctic Ocean to be opened to drilling, warns that oil companies are unprepared to deal with an Arctic spill.

A massive spill could severely harm populations of walrus, seal, and polar bears, and decimate the indigenous communities that rely on hunting. The report also notes that oil persists in cold Arctic waters far longer than in warmer waters, such as the Gulf of Mexico, site of the BP spill. The report recommends reforms that would close gaps in risk analysis, response planning, oversight, and scientific research. "The Gulf of Mexico catastrophe showed us the consequences of lax oversight and inadequate response capacity, even in temperate waters near population centers," said Marilyn Heiman, director of Pew's U.S. Arctic Program.
