That’s right, folks. The first two Final Fantasy games are now available for the iPhone (and iPod touch as well). Sure, we’ve had remakes of the games for the Game Boy Advance and PlayStation Portable, but iPhone gamers out there that didn’t bother with either system can now bask in glory that is Final Fantasy. Priced at $9 piece, the games come with the special dungeons that have been included since the GBA rereleases. So for all of you that have always wanted to see what all the rage is about or just want to go back and experience the games all over again, what are you waiting for?

I don’t know about you but I’m not a fan of the plastic back to the current model iPhones. When the iPhone 3G was released, Apple went with the plastic back, over the stronger and better looking, in my opinion, aluminium backing that the original iPhone wielded due to radio issues. I’ve often thought whether it would be possible to replace the backing of the iPhone 3GS with something a little more hardy and slick looking. Well now, despite some nay-sayers, an Austrian man with a passion for perfection has proved that it is possible, if a little costly to do.

Martin Schrotz, having made several prototypes, first by hand then machine, before taking the plunge and having the back made out of a titanium alloy. It doesn’t half look good, and certainly will provide the phone with a little more protection than the thin plastic, but it has a serious downside for your average Joe, and that’s the hefty cost of about the same as an iPhone 3GS on it’s own. Yeah, not something I’m likely to fork out for, but if you’ve got the funds and the will, perhaps you can get Martin to make you one.

The follow up to the hugely successful Brothers In Arms for iPhone has hit the App Store. BIA2 features more WWII action in both the solo story mode or up to 5 player multiplayer in conflicts across five locations including Africa, Europe and the Pacific. With decent 3D graphics and action revolving around a now familiar cover scheme wielding machine guns, bazookas, sniper rifles, flamethrowers and more, if you were a fan of BIA then there’s plenty more to like in BIA2 including a tank and even a glider.

Of course you’re still stuck with the limits of the iPhone control scheme, namely on screen virtual joysticks, but as iPhone games go you can’t go far wrong with BIA2. Check out the gallery and trailer below for more screenies. Brothers In Arms 2: Global Front is available from the App Store (Link) for £4.99/$7.99

The App Store continues to evolve, and as such, we are constantly refining our guidelines. Your application contains content that we had originally believed to be suitable for distribution. However, we have recently received numerous complaints from our customers about this type of content, and have changed our guidelines appropriately.

Oh no! Women in bikinis! I’m scared this will ruin my child’s life! Seriously, who are these people that complain about this? I’m not sure if these people know but there is a parental control system in iTunes and the iPhone to stop your “innocent” child from downloading these apps.

Now, if you search the iTunes store, you’d think that all Bikini related apps have been removed because of these new guidelines. Nope. After searching for apps using the keywords bikini or sexy, the search results came back with: Kim Kardashian photo app, Playboy app, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit App, Bikini Surfing App, and Terror at Bikini Beach.

So, the bottom line is that if you already have a well established name or the women are animated big-boobed characters in bikinis, your app is A-OK. Geeze, Apple, get it together.  It’s just like that South Park episode with Tom Cruise in the closet.  “Either everything is ok to make fun of, or nothing.” So, in this cause, either all Bikini apps are ok, or no Bikini apps are ok. No gray lines.

Pop Cap announced last year that it would be bringing it’s popular tower defense strategy game, Plants VS Zombies, out on the iPhone.  On February 15th, they will make good on that promise. Get ready to have even more fun while on John (American) or the Loo (British) while killing some zombies. To see what it will look like on the iPhone, watch the trailer below.
