he iPhone is a real gaming platform. Seriously. In fact, it's big enough to get its own version of Japanese gaming mag Famitsu. The debut issue covers new iPhone games: Metal Gear Solid: Touch, Resident Evil: Degeneration and Terminator Salvation. It also features a first look at Assassin's Creed.
Yes, the Apple handheld is getting its own version of Altair's adventure. According to Famitsu, the game will use an on-screen virtual pad for the controls. A video of an Assassin's Creed game for "high end phones" is available on YouTube (embedded after the break) and it looks very similar to the previously released DS game. We hope the iPhone version takes advantage of the platform's power -- maybe make it look more like a PSP game?
