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. If you were a fan of Ubisoft’s ambitious Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 production, you know the set-up. An assassin named Altair is scouring the [...]

As you might imagine, you are the titular shark in Shark or Die – and you’re on a single-minded mission: eat people. But though you have a simple goal, things are never that easy for a ravenous killer of the deep. You must make sure you don’t cause too many waves by quickly jetting between meals, [...]

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. You are Huang Lee, the spoiled son of a Triad [...]
Time Crisis 2nd Strike (iPhone)
Posted: September 16, 2010 in iPhone/iPad/iPodTags: iphone, shooter
Time Crisis 2nd Strike is Namco’s latest iPhone adaptation of its popular light gun series – and things are still a little screwy. As an ace super agent hot on the trail of a gang of terrorists, you must tap-tap-tap your way out of dangerous situations against waves of gunmen. But there is a little [...]
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. (I could name a few here that would send the fanboys into lower orbit.) The second is a [...]
Cydia merges with Rock, becomes your one-stop jailbroken iOS app shop
Posted: September 12, 2010 in iPhone/iPad/iPodTags: iphone
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. Not simply a merger of platforms, the deal will apparently see Cydia and Rock’s software teams merge as well — meaning not [...]
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 [...]

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. Now Mac4Ever, who was spot on with a [...]

Mirros’s Edge Iphone

As much as I enjoyed Mirror’s Edge on my Xbox 360, after feeling the breeze at my back with the iPad and now iPhone editions, I’m certain this game was made to be played in 2D. By stripping away any of the fussiness of lining up perfect jumps along three axes, Mirror’s Edge loses almost all [...]
