XBox 360 Games on iPhone Before Windows Mobile 7

by Jay Garrett on March 15, 2010

Do you get twitchy when you’re away from your Xbox 360 for more than an hour?

Do you happen to own an iPhone?

Well, you could get Xbox 360 games on your iPhone soon – and it may hit the Appley hand-held before landing on Windows Phone 7.

Odd as it may sound but then this isn’t Microsoft’s doing…..

Novell has shown off a new method for turning Xbox 360 games into iPhone apps – Android owners could well get in on the action too!

WinMo7 is due later this year and will bring XBox 360 games to your mobile but the big M’s frenemy, Novell, looks like it’ll pip it to the post and bring it to iPhone and Android before Microsoft.

Microsoft has partnered up with Nokia to bring its Flash competitor Silverlight to Symbian phones but Xbox 360 games have not hit Symbian phones yet.

As if to rub Microsoft’s nose in it Novell has shown an iPhone app version of the Indiana Jones games which, incidentally, Microsoft used to demonstrate Xbox 360 games running on Windows and Windows Phone 7 handsets. Hmmmmm……..

This all means that If games originally intended for Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7 blowers can be just as easily chucked over to Android and iPhone it kinda takes away the unique selling point of WinMo7 phones being the choice of casual gamers doesn’t it?

Halo on iPhone anyone?

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.
