Developer G5 Entertainment has announced that they will be releasing a series of business strategy simulations called Fix-It-Up for iOS devices. The first installment, Fix-It-Up: Kate’s Adventure, will be available for iPhone and iPad starting September 22, 2011. The game had originally been released on PC, where it enjoyed significant popularity, being in the top ten best selling charts of nearly all major casual games portals for two months.

In Fix-It-Up: Kate’s Adventure, gamers play as auto repair workshop owner Kate, who is tasked to run a profitable business. Part of that job is cleverly balancing resources while making the right business decisions at the right time.

When Kate returns home after the college, she finds her father’s auto repair workshop in financial trouble. Kate decides to revive family enterprise but she needs your help – so roll up your sleeves and get to work! Apply your business skills to make this work: fix broken cars, construct and operate a tuning shop, a bodyshop, a disassemble pit, and more! Explore six exciting locations as you expand the franchise from arid Nevada to glamorous Hollywood.

The game features 70 achievements which can be shared on Facebook and Apple Game Center friends. When the player completes the game and achieves expert’s status throughout, two additional modes become unlocked: “money challenge” and “time challenge”. In addition, players are rewarded with a bonus level. These additional levels will task players with fixing up a harvester, police trucks, buggies, taxi cabs and even a helicopter.

The series is interesting in being aimed at female users with a woman in the non-traditional industry of auto repair. It’ll be interesting to see how the game scores on iOS towards the younger female market.

The game will be released on iTunes for iPhone and iPad in two weeks, check out the official page here.

For players who want to update their PSN Mini version of Angry Birds, they’ll have to jump through some funky hoops to do so.

Chillingo originally released Angry Birds on PSN as a PlayStation Mini. Then, Rovio released an “official” version a few months later, which had better load times and new features. Unfortunately, since it was a different publisher, the newer Angry Birds was a “separate” game, which means that you can’t update the old Angry Birds into the new one – you have to pay $4 USD for the new version.

Understandably, this has caused an outcry among the PSN populace, and Rovio has announced:

…anyone who purchased the older version can contact PSN customer service directly. PSN customer service will check your account to verify the purchase, and provide you with a voucher to download the new version.

In essence, to patch Angry Birds, you have to contact customer service to get a voucher to buy a new version free. How 1995 of Rovio.

Team 17 has posted the first gameplay trailer of their recently announced Worms spinoff game, Worms Crazy Golf.

The concept is a brilliant one – use the Worms tactical strategy model and apply it to miniature golf. Get the ball to the flag area in as few shots as possible, while getting bonuses for the ball touching gold coins and bonking enemies and opposing golfers.

Check out the gameplay trailer in the video below. Worms Crazy Golf will be coming out on PC and PlayStation 3 later this year.
