Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles should look somewhat familiar to you. It was released in 2008 on the Nintendo DS and in 2009 for iPhone. And now Gameloft has ported the adventure to Android.

As you might imagine, you are the titular shark in Shark or Die – and you’re on a single-minded mission: eat people.

Grand Theft Auto, one of the biggest franchises in videogames, now rides shotgun on iPad. A port of the PlayStation Portable edition of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (which was in turn a port of a Nintendo DS game), the iPad version is a phenomenal play.

Time Crisis 2nd Strike is Namco’s latest iPhone adaptation of its popular light gun series – and things are still a little screwy.

There are two types of WTF games. The first is a wonderfully weird game that ultimately reveals itself to be pointless and shallow because the developer expended all of its energy on getting the weird part right.

4.6 million installs later, Rock Your Phone is no more — but over the next few days, it will join with rivalCydia to form what will surely be the largest alternative iOS app store.

When you purchase electronics, especially in the price range of five hundred dollars and upwards, you want to protect your purchase.

I’m sure this concept is going to bring smiles to many iGeeks (me included) and keep us lusting for it to become a reality! The Docking and Storage Base is a convenient tray that fits under the screen of the iMac or PC and docks everything ‘i’; iPod, iPhone, iPad. It covers the area below [...]
When you take your first look at the new iPod nano, you’re bound to say to yourself: “This looks like an iPod shuffle with a screen;” well, because it more or less is. Sure, it has a few unique features and is a bit larger than the new shuffle, but the designs are undeniably similar. [...]
FaceTime headed for Mac OS X and Windows next?

It seems more than a little odd to us that Apple hasn’t bothered to make FaceTime compatible with its own longstanding desktop video chat service, iChat, but we’ve at least supposed that it’s an inevitability with whatever upcoming Mac OS X update or software bundle that Apple deems appropriate.
