Mass Effect prequel coming to iPhone
A two-hour “animated presentation” Mass Effect prequel is on the way to iPhone, according to this Kotaku story.
The game is to include top-down arcade-style space combat, and will detail Jacob’s story. We don’t know who Jacob is, but there we are.
The title’s been revealed by a marketing survey, according to that piece, and features “a biotic-powered super-soldier who stumbles across a plot to terrorize civilization’s greatest beacon of hope”. It’s to cost $2.99.
No date, or official confirmation at this point. Full thing through there.

“We don’t know who Jacob is, but there we are.”

Anyway, if it’ll work on iPod Touch (which never gets mentioned in conjunction with iPhone games – although 9 times out of 10 they work on both machines) I’m buying it.

I thought it was 10 times out of 10? They’re no different are they?
Edit: Apart from the phone thing.

I didn’t want to speak out of turn. Strange that it’s always “iPhone.”

iTouch does everything an iPhone does, except for the phone and camera stuff.

I know. So why are games only billed as iPhone games, when they’re iPhone/iTouch games? Not a slight on VG247, btw. Every site does it.

I was thrown by that, before. I wondered whether I could use a touch to play these games (rather than being restricted to Apple’s network provider of choice – which I think is awful!), but I imagined they both went to get their data from seperate servers, or something equally silly! :p
