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.

One of my all time favorite RTS franchises is none other than Command & Conquer. Couple this with the fact that the iPhone (and iPod touch) is quickly becoming one of the premiere hand held gaming devices and you have yourself a match made in heaven.

Later this month EA will be putting Command & Conquer Red Alert up for sale on ther App Store which includes 12 different levels and two different sides; the Soviets and the Allies.are they dow

If the above screenshot is anything to go by, this game is sure to be a hit.

“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.

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

Space Invaders

Well, the times have changed a bit and now the game is ready to make it’s way onto the iPhone/iPod touch via the App Store. The latest title will be called Space Invaders Infinity Gene and will take the classic title and give it a new age spin.

You can pick up Space Invaders Infinity Gene now for the iPhone/iPod touch off the App Store for $4.99.

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?

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.

If you’re familiar with the World of Warcraft Armory currently available online, you’ll be familiar with this as it incorporates all of said online application’s features into a handheld package. This means you’ll be able to check up on character, guild and arena data along with check your guild’s calender.

Additionally you’ll be able to find out everything you need to know about items, zones and dungeons featured in the game. Best of all, it’s free!

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.

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?

Game Crazy has just released a previously unannounced app to the App Store for use with both the iPhone and iPod Touch.

According to the app’s description users will be able to see when new titles are set to come out along with viewing high-resolution trailers of said new titles. Additionally, users will be able to find out how much used game trade-ins will be worth so they can see if its worth it before they get to the store.

This app is definitly a welcome addition to the App Store and is sure to garner some internet. Unfortunately I don’t have any Game Crazys around me but does anyone want to make a bet on how long until Game Stop releases an identical app?

According to VentureBeat, id Software is gearing up to launch a “true next-generation” iPhone game next week which is none other than Doom Resurrection. Also according to the article this new game will feature 3D graphics unmatched by any game currently on the App Store.

While the game’s development was relatively easy considering they were able to take textures from Doom 3 and port them to the iPhone, it wasn’t all peaches. id Software’s Jack Carmack says that deep into development him and his team were forced to redo much of the “core shooting/aiming” mechanics included in the game.

Doom Resurrection will hit the App Store complete with 8 full levels making up for 5 ful hours of gameplay. Considering the game will run flawless on current-gen iPhones and iPod Touchs, just imagine when it is played on the iPhone 3G S. Yeah, I think Sony and Nintendo really have a new competitor thanks to Apple.

There’s a wide range of pricing for applications on the digital distribution store; many apps are free while many others charge a mere few dollars. Some games charge more and there are some more functional apps that can cost as much as twenty to thirty dollars. The marketplace is incredibly hyped with stories of people making small fortunes on the sweat of their brow (or fingers) being talked about as if everyone’s doing it.

Unfortunately according to a successful appstore developer, it’s not exactly the gold mine everyone’s hoping for. Developer Rick Strom has several applications that are highly ranked, including one which is #34 on the social networking listing. He points out to the public that there was a general ‘race to the bottom’ as soon as the app store debuted. After all when you’re looking for a tower defense game or movie listing application, why pay five dollars when there’s one for less than a buck, or even better, completely free? Though Apple boasts incredible numbers of downloads, they haven’t said how many of those downloads are of free applications.

While there are some people making money from hard work and successful apps, Strom points out that it’s like winning the lottery: the potential is there for it to happen to anyone, but more likely you’re going to walk away disappointed.
