Just as we had told you a few weeks ago EA’s Rock Band has officially been released to the App Store for the iPhone/iPod touch at $9.99. I’ve personally always had problems spending 10 bucks on an iPhone app, but that’s just me.

Anyways, the iPhone version of Rock Band will feature 20 tracks several game modes including multiplayer and the ability to play as the guitar, bass, vocals and drums just as we had reported to you previously.

And, of course, if 20 tracks aren’t enough for you, you can always purchase additional tracks through the App Store.

Just yesterday we let you know that EA was planning on bringing one of their major game franchises, Command & Conquer, to the iPhone and iPod touch. Today, it was made known that EA Mobile is planning to bring another major franchise, Rock Band, to the iPhone and iPod touch.

According to techfresh the game will include several game modes including multiplayer and 20 tracks to which players could use the guitar, bass, drums or vocals with.

No price was announced but our sources tell us it could hit the App Store as early as next week.

Bioshock, the “Game of The Year” version, will be available on Macs on October 7, and will certainly improve on the meager games lineup that the platform has, which is essentially… pretty much no games lineup. At least they care enough to port them for the few that enjoy gaming on their pretty Mac laptops and desktops. As for PC users, we can wait for Bioshock 2 in early next year.

“Chinatown Wars is a perfect match for the iPhone and iPod touch,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “We are very excited to bring this incredibly ambitious version of Liberty City, with this level of detail and immersive gameplay on Apple’s new gaming platforms.”

Just like Beaterator, there was no mention of a price but we’ll keep you updated as the story unfolds.

According to the press release, the game “features thousands of loops and sounds made by both Timbaland and Rockstar, and puts the power to make professoinal-level music at your fingertips in a format that’s portable, accesible and fun.”

No price yet, but we’ll keep you posted.

“The PS3 lags a little bit behind in terms of getting the performance out of it,” John Carmack told Edge. “The rasteriser is just a little bit slower – no two ways about that.

Unfortunately, it’s unclear if the PS3 version will be fixed. The alleged framerate is only 20-30fps, as opposed to the full 60fps the PC and 360 are getting.

“The RSX is slower than what we have in the 360. The CPU is about the same, but the 360 makes it easier to split things off, and that’s what a lot of the work has been, splitting it all into jobs on the PS3,” he said.

Rage will be out sometime soon next year. The Mac version is currently under development.

Despite its somewhat high price (for an app, anyways) this game is sure to be a hit because well, it is Resident Evil 4 after all, right?

Star Wars: Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition will be out this fall.

According to the publisher, the portable version has the same improvements as the Xbox Live and PC versions of the game, including new visuals, voice acting, etc. I’m sure that there will be a few minor differences between the ports, seeing as the iPhone OS capability isn’t as powerful as its counterparts, but it’s still the game we all love.

You can download Monkey Island for $7.99.

Of course, I don’t know how much I’d like the touch-screen controls with a game that requires such button mashing but I’m sure some nostalgia will be good.

View a video demo of the game after the break.

Featured in the above video is what looks to be an iPhone port of the popular Source-based puzzler, Portal. As you can see, the controls look a bit difficult to master but the same could be said for many other iPhone titles on the market.

While the above video may be fake, the iPhone (especially with the 3GS’ updated processor) could definitely handle the graphics rendering said video features.

I for one would love to give this game a go, let’s hope Valve makes note of this and considers an iPhone port.

Just in case you haven’t already spent enough time on World of Warcraft, Blizzard has recently launched the WoW Mobile Armory iPhone app effectively giving players their WoW fix on the go.

Unfortunately for us American gamers there was some worry about whether or not it would ever make its way over seas to our App Store. Luckily, Capcom has announced that after Resident Evil 4 hits the Japanese App Store later this month it will then make its way to App Stores across the world.

With games like Doom already out on the App Store along with Resident Evil 4’s recent announcement it only leads us to question what developer will release a port of their flagship titles next.

After the break there is a video demo of the game thanks to Pocketgamer.

It was recently announced that EA has opened a brand new micro-studio entitled 8 lb Gorilla. This studio will develop games exclusively for Apple’s App Store which runs on both the iPhone and iPod Touch.

EA hopes that 8 lb Gorilla will be able to release 99-cent titles onto the App Store on a semi-monthly basis. The micro-studio’s debut game will be entitled Zombies & Me (trailer above) in which players will take control of Guy as he attempts to protect his grandma from an onslaught of zombies.

Will some of these games be crappy? Most likely, but with EA and 8 lb Gorilla releasing them so quickly they are sure to stumble onto at least one good title.

LucasArts recently announced that The Secret of Monkey Island would be seeing a remake and be heading the Xbox Live Arcade and Steam platforms. However, today we find that the game may also be hitting iPhones. LucasArts’ Twitter page reveals an iPhone sized Monkey Island wallpaper, with the text:

“For our Monkey fans – an iPhone sized wallpaper. No reason. Wink wink nod nod.”

This can pretty much be interpreted as confirmation for a Monkey Island debut for the iPhone, but due to Apple’s terms of services, developers are not allowed to formally announce software until it has gone gold.

If you can’t wait for more details on the iPhone version, you can grab the XBLA or Steam releases on the 15th.

With the release of iPhone OS 3.0, games downloaded from the App Store now have the ability to recieve downloadable content released by the developers.

In leui of this, id Software’s John Carmack has confirmed that there will be a DLC pack released for Doom Ressurection at some point in the near future. He also told Joystiq that in the coming weeks multiplayer add-ons will be released for the game.

Will id Software’s intuitive utilization of the iPhone platform have other big game developers doing the same? Perhaps an iPhone version of Halo? Hey, I can’t dream, can’t I?

Now we find out via AppGamer that if you play through the game it gives you an option at the end to log in with your EA account. If you do, you get this message: “Your reward for completing the game is already waiting for you in Mass Effect 2“. I’m sure EA is hoping the story will spread and prompt some people to buy the iDevice game, but I somehow dbout that it’s anything terribly exciting, possibly a new skin or some minor perk or stat boost.

Mega-game-retailer GameStop has recently announced that those who pre-order Madden NFL 10 for either the Xbox 360 or PS3 will get access to an exclusive demo towards the end of July. Regardless of when you pre-order the game the demo codes won’t be made available until July 15th. Said demo will feature 4 5-minute quarters with the Pittsburg Steelers and Arizona Cardinals as the playable teams.

Considering the loyal following of the Madden NFL series, this promotion probably wasn’t necessary but is a welcome one. For those of you who don’t know the latest rendition of the game, Madden NFL 10, will be out for the Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, PSP, iPhone/iPod Touch, Wii and Nintendo DS on August 14th.

We just learned yesterday that id Sotware’s App Store exclsuive Doom Resurrection would hit sometime next and today we are greated with a trailer showcasing actual gameplay from the title.

The above trailer does a great job showing off the game-changing visuals featured in Doom Resurrection but it also reveals something to us that was before unknown; Doom Resurrection will be an on-rails shooter.

So, just like Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii, players will not be able to run around in a true 3D environment but instead be restricted to a pre-set path. Oh well, at least it has cool graphics, right?
