Anybody tweet out there? I personally have never tweeted before, but I’m sure all of you tech savvy readers have. Now you can kill two birds with one stone with Tweet Defense.

So the details are not too clear on how exactly the your tweeting and friends list come into play in the game, but we know that it some how affects the strengths of your towers. Like I mentioned, I’m not a tweeter, but I think it’s a pretty cool idea to fuse those two things together into one. Plus, tower tweet defense games are awesome!

Tweet Defense is available now at a limited sale price of $.99!

Here’s the story, and a features list:

“A lethal marketing virus has turned half the world’s population into brain eating zombies. Now they are after you and your friends’ brains! All you have on hand are everyday items and an internet connection. Reach out to your twitter friends to help you build defense towers. Stop the zombies from penetrating your home base and eating your grey matter! With your friends helping you design the towers and your brilliant battle strategies the zombies don’t stand a chance … or do they?”

• 10 incredible levels that build from easy walk in the park to devastating horror show
• 5 whacked out enemy types including the viral marketing zombie and zombie twins Gu and Ga
• 6 tower types including the unique BOOSTER tower that lets you use twitter celebs to boost your tower stats
• Achievements including “Making Video Game History”

While Aliens vs Predator might be one of the most anticipated games coming around the corner, we have another vs game on the market as well: Plants vs Zombies.

Apparently, this game was released for the PC and Mac a year ago. This was the first time I had heard about it, and to be honest, it looks awesome. I mean just from the title, you’d expect, if anything, some great humor.

For those of you, like myself, who are not familiar with this game, its basically a tower defense… or shall we say, “flower” defense (get it? anybody? anybody?). But what’s great about this one is that it is a faithful to the original game design, but aso includes exclusive features and content such as Quick Play Arena and achievements.

Of course, this game, in its original form had much to offer as well. As you progress through the 50 levels, you’ll have access to and encounter environmental influences such as defensive mushrooms that are only available after the sun sets, creeping fog, and swimming pools that provide access to aquatic zombies.

I’m a great fan of tower defense games, and this looks like another fun addition to the pack.

Features List:

- The Quick Play Arena allows easy replay of any level after completing the 50 levels in Adventure mode
-More than a dozen achievements to reward successful completion of in-game challenges
-More than four dozen plants, from cherry bombs and peashooters to melon-pults, wall-nuts and sunflowers
-Dozens of different zombie types, including back-from-the-dead miners, businessmen, football players, and even a zombie bobsled team
-Suburban almanac tracks your progress and provides vital stats on plant and zombie types
-Crazy Dave’s trunk-o’-the-car shop where you can purchase new plants, power-ups, and other zombie-exterminating tools
-New fluid animation technology creates even more visually appealing plants and zippier zombies
-11 original musical pieces that mirror the increasing intensity of the gameplay

Here it is folks. A real action RPG for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Working together with EXE-Create, a Japanese developer, FDG Entertainment brings the nostalgic SNES/Genesis action RPG experience to your mobile device with Across Age.

When I first read about Across Age, I got really excited. I definitely love the complexity that new generation games are offering. But sometimes, I just crave the 16-bit adventures. And it’s always going back to your favorite 16-bit cartridges. But there are many times when I wish I can get a new, old-school experience. So I’m definitely happy to see things like this happening.

Enough about my nostalgia, and more about the game: as you can tell from the screenshots and trailer, this is an action RPG, remeniscent of Zelda, Terranigma, etc. You control either of two characters, Ales, a swordsman or Ceska, a magician. You can change characters at anytime, and they each have unique fighting and special skills that become key in solving puzzles and defeating enemies.

We’ve been told that this game offers more than 15 hours of playtime, with animate cut scenes. It definitely seems to offer a lot. I guess then the big question is how fun the gameplay is, and how entertaining the storyline is. Hope we can find out soon!

Across Age will be available soon at the App Store for $6.99.

For those of you who own and have played Assassin’s Creed II, but don’t have a DS, now have an option to discover the untold stories of Ezio via your apple mobile device!

Oringally released for the DS back in November of 2009, this version of Assassin’s Creed II is not a poor remake of the game. It adds an untold chapter to the Assassin’s Creed II storyline, where Ezio travels to 15th-century Spain in an attempt to rescue fellow assassins being held under the guise of the Inquisition. However, a Templar plot to sail west and discover the New World unfolds as Ezio makes his rescue attempt.

The Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery is now available at the App Store.

In the tradition of all handhelds, Nordcurrent brings to the iPhone/iPod Touch, 101-in-1.

 I remember how excited I was back in the day when a friend of mine bought me the 100-in-1 game cartridge for the original Gameboy when he went to Hong Kong. It just bluew my mind that that little Gameboy cartridge held 100 games!!

Anyhoo, enough about my fond childhood memories and more about the game, not that there’ s much more to say. The title pretty much says it all. The game has a collection of 101 mini games, ranging from puzzle games and fast-paced arcade action, to racing, sports, cooking, shooting, and sudoku. Initially, the player only has access to 10 mini-games. Players accumulate points by completing mini-games. The more points it takes to unlock, the more points the player earns by completing it.

With a price tag of US $2.99 (€2.39Europe) , this may be one of the best investments you make for an iPhone/iPod Touch game. This will be available worldwide on iTunes on January 28, 2010.

Fans of puzzle games, board games and anything Medievil will be creaming their pants for this one: IQ Knights.

This game apparently combines chess, dice-rolling and strategy into one. As you can see from the trailer below, players maneuver around the board by rolling the dice. As you progress along, hidden mechanisms activate to add more depth and fun to the gameplay.

Now you can take all your geekiness on the road. Sweet.

Features list:

- Dice chess with tricky puzzles
- 56 tactical challenges in 7 areas of a castle
- Various types of enemies as obstacles on the game board
- Trigger tiles for hidden mechanisms
- Online high score for heralding your fame
- Easy to understand tutorial

You’re probably thinking, “Flirty puzzle game?” what does that even mean? Well, allow me to introduce you to the cooperative, social ice-breaking, and possible a romantic fire starting game from Japan: Q?pid.

Simply put, this game is Twister for your fingers. Each puzzle has a picture that you and your partner must reveal. Using the multi-touch UI, each player puts his/her finger on their respective markers, and must maneuver, without lifting their fingers, the marker along its path. Simple. But as the game progresses, the maneuvers become increasingly difficult and complex. Once the maneuver is successfully completed, the photo is revealed.

The Edit mode also allows players to use their own photos, with personalized messages and a custom background via their iTunes library.

Shiji Utsumi, president of Q Entertaiment said the Q?pid App is “also a social experiment. We can’t wait to hear stories of romance and flirtation facilitated by our delightful and original app.”

Hmmm… this just might be the ticket to getting a girlfriend…right.

In celebration of 20 million installs, Tapulous is offering Tap Tap Revenge 3 for free! Through Tap Tap Revenge 3, over 1 million songs have been sold, making it the most successful uses of in-app commerce to date. In addition, Tap Tap Revenge has provided a great new medium through which artists can generate sales. Users are now easily able to access a large library of music at the palm of their hands… but the most pertinent thing I wanted to get across was… Tap Tap Revenge is free!!! Enjoy!

iPhone/iPod Touch games are known for its simple pick-up and go games. Well, here’ s another one: Tile to Live.

From the first look of things, this game is very reminiscent of Geomtery Wars or Stardust HD. But its a little different than that. Instead of  a spaceship, you have an arrow, and instead of shooting enemies, you’re essentially trying to avoid them.  And the kicker is, you do this all by tilting the iPhone/iPod Touch.

So first of all, you get points by destroying enemies, and you do that by using weapon pick-ups. There are a total of 8 different pick-ups, each with a unique ability. For example, one wraps you in a Spike Shield, while another creates an explosion in its close vicinty, and still another creates a vortex that sucks enemies in. To get a better understanding, check out the video at the end of the article.

With a price tag of $1.99 and 20 unlockable awards, this game looks to be promising. Tilt to Live will be available early 2010.

Trivia is awesome! Some hardcore gamers may scoff at me, but I love games like Scene It? and Buzz. And now, we have one available for the iPhone/iPod: Map My Mind.

Map My Mind, a trivia game, is now available through the App Store. Map My Mind, or MMM, provides sense of progression not only with points, but with a map that you can travel across. By answering trivia questions right, new pathways open up, allowing you to explore more of the map. This in turn will give you more points at the end. There are a total of 15 maps to explore, each with a different subject, such as History, Sports, Science, etc.

This game also reminded me a little of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? because of its various options available, like the Lifeline, or reducing the choices down to two choices.

And finally, this game also supports leaderborads, allowing you to compare your trivia skills with other around the world. Sweet!

The only problem with trivia games is that after so many run throughs, the questions get old, and you begin to memorize the answers. Now if they featured periodic updates, or renewable content available for download, this game would be awesome..er! Map My Mind can be purchased here.

If you’re a fan of simple puzzle games, like Peggle, I have a feeling you will enjoy this one very much.

Arachnadoodle is a web-slinging puzzle game available for the iPhone/iPod Touch. You control Boris the Blade…err Boris the Spider. Each stage is scattered with pins, and using your fingers, you must shoot Boris around the room, attempting to make your next webbed masterpiece.

Once the web is down, its time to reap the rewards of  your hardwork. With Wagner’s “The Ride of the Valkyries” in the background, a swarm of flies sweep across teh screen, and into your web. The more complex the web, the more flies you catch.

This game looks really fun of course for the puzzle elements, but also for the sound effects. It really speaks to the little kid inside me. I love the farty noises Boris makes when he is spinning his web. I can definitely see myself smiling as I play this. Check out the trailer:

oh yeah, and here’s the features list:

• 32 Levels of instantly addictive web slinging action
• Hit ‘bonus score’ and ‘extra throw’ flies as you whizz around the screen
• Refine your arachnid throwing habits and use elastic and bumper pins to max out your scores
• ‘Death Head Bugs’, ‘Spark Head Bugs’, and electrocuting light bulbs add to the danger
• Open Feint integration, high score tables and achievements
• Use furniture and objects strategically to score even more
• Hit ‘Truck loads a’ pins and build the wickedest web of all

Games have been, over the years, trying to bleed the distinction between reality and video games. Take the original Metal Gear Solid for example: During the battle with Psycho Mantis, the player had to actually change controller ports to prevent Mantis from reading your mind. It was great. And now as newer technology is more and more readily available for consumers, developers have more tools to bring gamers into their world. Turf Wars is one of them.

Turf Wars is a real territory MMO crime game for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Using the OS 3.0’s GPS capabilities, Turf Wars allows players to compete for control, influence, and the title of city mob boss or “Capo” in a real territory.

What this means is you have the opportunity live out your crime lord fantasies in your very own neighborhood, in the palm of your hands. And teh bvest part is, it’s FREE! YES! Free is good. Free is always good.

Heres’s the features list:
• Go directly to the “Turf Map” and begin claiming unoccupied Turf (up to 1 mile from the device’s GPS location). Players continue to acquire Turf anywhere they travel, until their cap has been reached. This limit on total Turf is raised at each level-up.
• Players run a variety of criminal missions in order to gain cash and experience, leveling up their character and increasing their abilities in combat and Turf collection. Players use this cash to purchase over 30 weapons, tools, and Turf upgrades to help beat back other mobsters.
• As Turf is accumulated, players increase their “influence”. Influence is attached to Turf and determines how much a given piece of Turf will earn. The greater the population within a piece of Turf, the greater the influence. Players also bolster a property’s influence by making improvements or defensive upgrades.
• Players can choose to attack other players or simply attack a piece of their Turf. Higher level players will be difficult to defeat without creativity. Competitors will need to chip away at their Turf holdings slowly and methodically.
• Need a helping hand? Players can invite, and be invited by, anyone playing the game to join a mob and help take down the competition. They can also pay tribute to “The Don” to get a real leg up.
