I’m continually impressed by how much fun I can have gaming on my iPhone, but I have to admit even I felt a bit skeptical about the idea of playing an MMO on it.

Look, it’s no secret that I love this game. Having already had the chance toget intimatewith the title at Hudson’s headquarters in San Francisco, I knew well in advance that there was something special brewing — someunholy ritualbringing together the meant-to-be elements of Xbox Live andBomberman. It’s a wonder that this wasn’t part of the original Arcade lineup. It was easy to tell that this game was going to be a favorite of mine, and I’ll tell you why: in a room full of three big TVs, twelve journalists and a crew of onlookers, the dialogue between us continually shifted between raucous smack-talkin’ and booming outbursts of surprise and laughter, eruptions of cursing, and angry fists shaken at colleagues....
