Assassins Creed is a hit game from consoles and now it’s available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It was developed by Gameloft so we know that quality would be great. Game graphics and control system is similar to Hero of Sparta but I think that source code has been rewritten or optimized because game play is almost without any lags. It offers great interaction with the environment and is full of surprises like in-game minigames.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10
Pros: Graphics, sound, game play, quality of the product, not some ordinary hack and slash game – we have to think and solve some puzzles from time to time
Cons: price, sometimes there are problems with precise movements due to specific controls
Overall: Great game play, fun, attention to detail from sound effects to graphics to user interface. Definitely must have for the iPhone. It can turn your “ordinary” cell phone to a handheld console for just few $.
Purchase this game from the App Store for $10
Short preview of Worms coming soon to the iPhone.

Pros: A great game to exercise your mind, very addicting, from Skyworks a company with an impeccable reputation for casual games. Short learning curve. Affordable at $1.99
Cons: If you don’t like games that make you think a bit this is not the game for you.
Overall: I feel like I am repeating myself every time I review a Skyworks game. Great game play, fun, attention to detail in all their games from sound effects to graphics to user interface. Skyworks rarley misses with their games and I can honestly say I would be very surprised if they ever published a dud.
Just go out and get this App if you like mental games. You can purchase Mental Blocks from the App Store for $1.99 by clicking here.
I wanted to let you guys know about Seek ‘n Spell, a unique new iPhone game that just launched in the App Store. Seek ‘n Spell transforms iPhone gaming from a solo, sedentary experience to an active and social outdoor contest. The game uses the iPhone’s GPS to coordinate a geocaching-like word game where you and your friends run around outside and compete to gather virtual letter tiles and create words to score the most points.
Here’s a live action trailer that helps illustrate how the gameplay works:
This game will be released very shortly in the App Store for $9.99. Hopefully we can have a full demo and review of this game very soon.

Pros: Easy to setup, stylish: a perfect compliment to your Mac, battery life indicator in system preferences, very comfortable to type on whether your sitting at your desk or lounging on your sofa.
Cons: Expensive, exclusion of the numeric keypad, PC owners are out of luck.
Overall: If you can get past the relatively high price tag and lack of a numeric keypad this is an excellent choice of a bluetooth keyboard. Goes perfectly with your iMac or Macbook and the setup could not be easier. I highly recommend this keyboard.
The Apple Wireless Keyboard can be purchased from the Apple website for $79.99.
