Assassin’s Creed 2 iPhone releasing alongside console versions

iPhone and iPod Touch owners would be excited to hear that they will be receiving the much anticipated sequel to Assassin’s Creed in November. Announced by Gameloft, and titled Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery, the game will be released on Apple’s App Store at the same time as the console versions of the game. Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery is a 2D platforming game that looks pretty awesome, visually, at this point in time, which will apparently allow you to take iPhone pictures of yourself (specifically your face) and have them appear on “Wanted” posters scattered throughout the game levels. Personally, that sounds more or less like a feature you’ll quickly lose interest in, but I guess ‘cool’ stuff might as well be in for cool stuff’s sake. Lookout for Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery in November.

Gameloft also announced a brand-new sci-fi first person shooter for iPhone titled Nova. The game will feature 12 stages, five weapons and apparently will contain “tons of aliens to kill.” As an added bonus, Nova will allow you to listen to your own music playlist while playing the game while you’re ruthlessly pumping aliens full of bullets.
