Assasins Creed on iPhone now

The iPhone and iPod Touch version of Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles is released now. It's available on the iTunes App Store right now, and weighs in at around 140MB.
According to Ubisoft and developer Gameloft, the iPhone version is a spruced-up version of the DS game of the same name.
The prequel to the hit console game Assassin’s Creed, Altair’s Chronicles puts you back in the role of Altair, a 12th-century Master Assassin sent by the Order of Assassins to steal “The Chalice” from the Templars. Your goal is to bring an end to the Crusades and restore peace and order to the Holy Lands.
Just like its console counterpart, Altair’s Chronicles emphasizes stealth and strategy — Altair can use acrobatic moves and combo attacks, mixing swordplay and kicks to overcome his enemies. You can either engage in close combat or in long range attacks, and skill-based mini games test your patience and dexterity. The game features 3D cinematic cutscenes and voice acting. Because of the violent content, Apple has rated it 12+.
About this game:

This game offers rich gameplay and a well-balanced mix of stealth, chaotic action and riddle-solving exploration set in the midst of fully 3D-rendered historical environments set in the Crusade's Middle East.

In a distinct gameplay twist, action and rhythm are intertwined as players utilize drumbeats to march, attack, and defend, ultimately leading the Patapon tribe to victory. Delivering more content and better gameplay in the single-player experience and introducing multi-player gameplay to the franchise through Game Sharing, Patapon 2 brings back the scampering eyeballs armed and more ready than ever for battle.

Genre: ActionLocal Play: 4 Versus

Rumours
Patapon 2 would only be available via the PlayStation Store -- i.e. downloading it would be the only way to play it. If you bought the game from a brick-and-mortar store such as your local GameStop, the rumor said that you'd just be buying a voucher that allowed you to download the game when you got home.
Anyways, even if it a rumour, it would be a great initiative to prevent a game from piracy hammer.

IGN's CHOBOT

If you are an usual surfer of IGN website and watching IGN's daily fix videos then you might be pretty confusing but much fantasized about the woman I am gonna talk about.
Yes this charming lady is quiet a game freak and IGN's hot pick. Let me introduce her to you all.
Jessica Chobot and commonly known as "CHOBOT" was first noticed by the video-game/techie scene as "the girl who licked the Sony PSP" back in 2005.
Seeing that very hot girls that really like video games are a bit of a rarity, she was hired by IGN.com to be a journalist for the poor video games and gamers who never had a pretty face with boobs to speak for them.
Life Story:
Jessica Chobot became an overnight Internet sensation when a tongue-in-cheek modeling photo of her appeared online licking the Sony PSP. The photo has been widely parodied since, even appearing on Sony-branded advertising.
Supplementing her love of videogames is an obsession with Japanese culture: specifically, anime and manga. Chobot was hired full-time by IGN.com to take over hosting responsibilities for the network's IGN Weekly show. Her segments include stand-up introductions as well as "woman-on-the-street" pieces. In addition, she contributes columns, features and reviews and her IGN blog is one of the most visited on the site. Chobot is also a former contributor to FHM UK, Mania.com and has made multiple appearances on G4's "Filter" and "Attack of the Show." She has also hosted a videogame preview segment for Fuel TV’s, “The Daily Habit,” and co-hosts on Lifeskool TV’s, “Gamer’s Dojo.” She also contributes as a weekly guest on Maxim Radio, where she answers caller questions for an hour each Monday.
Most recently, Jessica has appeared on commercials for ADV’s Anime Network On Demand cable station, lent her likeness to Symbiote Studios Toy Company for two limited-edition anime-style sculptures. In addition, she has modeled for the J!NX female gamers clothing line. In 2006-2007, she co-wrote a sci-fi script with writer/director/creator of Tron, Steve Lisberger.
