Assassin's Creed set to assassinate the competition on iPhone

If you've looked at the featured page on the iPhone App Store, (unlike me, who got told by Cookie) you will have noticed that Altair has stealthily climbed to the top of the page, ready to assassinate the competition in Assassins Creed for iPhone.

First impressions of the game are good! Great in fact, the combat feels fluid, framerate (although complained about by a lot of people) is solid, and voice acting adds to the overall console quality feel of the game... Mini games pop up every so often which are innovative ways to pick pockets, interrogate enemies and more...

The only thing I can complain about is the on screen analogue stick but that is a shortcoming of the iPhone itself and not the game...


In this mini review, Assassins Creed gets an 8/10

Wolfenstein 3D shoots its way to the App Store

The classic FPS, Wolfenstein 3D, is now available in the App Store at a reasonable £2.99. There are several sets of controls to choose from, although I prefer the "twin stick" style one. The graphics are crisp and clear and the game runs as smooth as the iPhone 3G's curves.

Handheld Heaven this week!!!

This week saw the release of three big handheld releases for the 3 big platforms... First up is Metal Gear Solid Touch for the iPhone/iPod Touch which is like a shooting range-esque game which uses animated sprites from the insanely awesome PS3 title, Metal Gear Solid 4; Guns of the patriots...

Secondly, on the subject of insanely awesome PS3 titles, Resistance 2's little brother Resistance Retribution saw the light of day on PSP this week. RR is a third person shooter based in the Resistance universe and follows James Grayson, Major Cartwright and Rachel Parker from the previous Resistance:Fall Of Man on Playstation 3.

Last but certainly not least is Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on Nintendo DS. In Chinatown Wars you play as Huang Lee and you are avenging the death of your father... While in the city you can also kill, steal & drug deal as well as try your luck with SCRATCH CARDS!!! (*Curzo's nan runs off to buy a DS & GTA: CW*)

I've got all three and I'm loving them! GTA the most... If you have a DS, BUY IT, and if you don't... BUY ONE...

If you have a PSP, Buy RR, if you don't... Why haven't you got a PSP yet??? LittleBig-Freaking-Planet has been announced for it... yup thats right... Buy one right now...

Anyway, that's all I have to say... A review of the excellent Nokia N96 is coming soon. Curzo out...

SNAAAAKE!!! Metal Gear Solid Touch out NOW!!!!

Konami's main man Solid Snake has snook his way into the app store. Metal Gear Solid Touch is now available to buy for £3.49.

From what I've played so far it's good, but awkward and difficult... Not 100% what to think yet... but is it worth £3.49? I think so...

I've took some screenshots to help you decide...

Tap Tap Revenge 2 out NOW + Mini Review

The sequel to Tapulous's killer iPhone/iPod touch app, Tap Tap Revenge, has appeared on the App Store... I've spent a bit of time with the app now I love it.

New gameplay mechanics add more of a challenge to the game, features such as double taps and hold notes have now been added making it a miles more fun experience.


Tap Tap Revenge 2 has improved on the seemingly perfect music game for iPhone/iPod Touch. All that remains to be asked is, what will they do next?
