Apparently, there’s one coming for the iPhone as well. Catch all that and more on this week’s iPhone Weekend Warrior!

We have the usual haul of iPhone and iPod Touch games again this week, but this patch seems to be a bit more high-profile than last week’s. Check ’em out.
- Terminator – Gameplay is similar to that of iDracula
- Wolfenstein RPG – it’s an FPS, despite having RPG on its name
- Mecho Wars – A Luc Bernard creation that’s a lot like Advance Wars
- Phaze – A futuristic race like Wipeout and F-Zero
- Crystal Defenders: Vanguard Storm – Square Enix‘s FF-based TD game
- Resident Evil: Degeneration – No announcement from Capcom, but seems legit
- Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 – The video is real, but it formally won’t make it to the Store
- Peggle – The PopCap creation is now live on the App Store
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine The Game – Feral Sense – Compound title…hahaha
- MyBalloon – Go blow your iPhone, literally
- WarShip – Naval battle game
- iFighter – World War 2-based shmup, looks like 1942
iPhone joins the rumorama:
With all sorts of rumors floating around the gaming scene – we’ve got a new handheld for Microsoft, a Slim PS3, and a Go! PSP, it seems the iPhone is getting a new one as well, according to a Chinese site WeiPhone. The rumored iPhone model MB717LL is said to have a rather hefty 32GB storage space. Link
An interesting approach to piracy:
Unless you were born yesterday or crawled out of the rock you’ve been living under for years, you’d know that software devs are at wit’s end trying to come up with a solution to them piratin’ scallywags. In the case of this first time iPhone game developer, he didn’t waste his time trying to come up with an iron-clad barrier to protect his stuff that hackers will always find a way to break, he takes a more subtle approach, and his take on piracy makes a rather insightful read.

Homebrew
- iUSB Tunnel v1.2.0 is a simple GUI that should make SSH, VNC, and Tethering much easier for iPhone users with a USB or a Windows PC. Link
