The Reactor/Reactor lite is out and being enjoyed. Without skipping a beat, we're working on 2.1 which will further tweak some gameplay as well as bring in an option for button controls for those that enjoyed the more classic gameplay style. Stay tuned!

A big update is coming to Reactor fans really soon. We've made a large set of changes that are aimed at making the game more enjoyable to play and provide much more longevity to the experience. Look for the following updates:

- Adding 2 totally new game modes: Meltdown (eliminate rising elements) and Containment (eliminate all the active elements before multiply out of control).
- Adding OpenFeint along with 5 leader boards and 17 achievements.
- Updated graphics and animation
- Added new music options
- Enlarged the gameplay screen and eliminated the seldom used bottom buttons

The latest and greatest builds of Reactor and Reactor Lite are now live on the App store. The 1.2 build adds a new difficult level (13) for the crazies out there, addresses a few bug fixes, updates graphics, and adds the ability to purchase the multiplayer add on straight from the lite version. Check it out!

The time is fast approaching when TVs will be bought for their software as much as their clarity, color and contrast. We're looking forward to seeing the evolution of the world of Interactive TV this year at CES 2010. However, for all the interest and hype surrounding widgets and quick access to your twitter feed, very little seems ready to address one of the fundamental problems with the interactive TV experience. Any good user experience must have a solid foundation of a good input device.
