IGN has launched a semi-animated new iPhone app review web series (below) from Portal A Interactive called iPWN this week—not to be confused with iPhun, Fast pasted, somewhat random but cruises through a slew of app reviews without hosts droning on about them.  [IGN]

Chad, Matt & Rob, the YouTube comedy threesome behind the super-popular interactive adventure The Time Machine, came out with their latest choose-your-own adventure today called The Birthday Party.

Del Taco just launched a branded web series The Del Taco Super Special Show this week. The hosted sketch show is pretty commercial, straight out of their ad agency, but at least the taco brand wasn’t afraid to let host Wes work in a beaver joke in the opening bit. And like many of the fast food branded campaigns, there’s a call to action for fans to vote for their favorite clip from the first episode (below) and get a free Classic Taco at facebook.com/deltaco.
