Assassin’s Creed II Multiplayer – Download FREE For 48 Hours

by Jay Garrett on March 1, 2010

Yup – I’m downloading as I type.

Ubisoft has released the multiplayer edition of Assassin’s Creed II for iPhone, and it’s completely free to download for the first two days! Beautiful!

Don’t be expecting a friend frenzy version of the original Assassin’s Creed II iPhone game though.

This is a birds-eye view sneak fest and not the glossy 3D full console game featuring voice actors and all that.

You still have to rely on stealth and go around assassinating folk; but the great thing is that you’ll be playing against real-life opponents. You can play against up to three other players over Wi-Fi. Nice :)

Ignoring the graphics and the change of view the gameplay is pretty much the same as you’ve come to know and love. You can sneak around in crowds to avoid being seen before pouncing on opponents before they do the same to you.

All this sneaking and general assassininininin with 3 of your buddies doing exactly the same should give this mobile game some depth and longevity.

As I mentioned earlier, if you spring over to the app store within the next day and a half you get Assissin’s Creed II: Multiplayer for free :)

After that it’ll cost you £1.79.

Xachi – iPhone App Powered Virtual Pet

by Jay Garrett on February 18, 2010

Here’s a Tamagotchi for the iPhone generation.

The oddly cute Xachi pets are controllable from your iPhone/iPod Touch.

They have animated eyes, squeakers, accelerometers for games, touch sensitivity and even robotic legs so that they can dance for you.

Apparently they get a bit gnarley if you turn them upside down – but don’t we all?

The iPhone app shows your Xachi’s Thirst, Health, and Happiness so you can keep it happy where-ever you are.

You gain Xachi food by playing games.

It should be out in the summer – visit the site for more details and sign up for email alerts :)
