Smashing orcs and dissolving them to a pool of blood. That is what this game is all about where you have to defend your tower with the use of your iPhone. Sounds dull? Don’t conclude just yet. Just like most games we see today, the musical score normally pumps up the adrenaline for gamers and keeps them playing.

The key is to actually play the game. For now, we can say that it is a boring game to place on your iPhone or iPod Touch. But once you hear Karnivool’s “Set Fire to the Hive” music, everything may change in an instant. It pushes you to make sure that each orc you see on screen gets smashed into smithereens!

Aim for high scores and compare it with others all over the world or better yet try to achieve the highest score you can get by beating your own. It comes with the usual game modes: easy, orcslaught and black orc down.

The Pools of Blood game app is now available at the App Store and retails for $ 0.99.

I just don’t believe it. The iPhone has been so flexible that practically any app on any platform can be easily integrated into it but finding out that the classic war strategy game Command and Conquer: Red Alert will soon be on the iPhone has really gotten me all the more curious!

Apoc has just confirmed on his Twitter page that “Command & Conquer Red Alert for iPhone will be at E3″.

Now this has to be something to watch out for. Surely, there is a great majority of gamers out there who would love to see what this transition would have on the iPhone. But if there is one thing uncertain at this stage, it is that it doesn’t mention anything on pricing or the schedule of release. For now, let us wait and see but that would certainly be a hit should these sources live true to their word.

Here is another game software you are sure to want on your iPhone. Earl Weaver Baseball or Hardball will soon be available for iPhones, a game that is sure to get a lot of gamers from yesteryears.

Anyone over the age of 30 may fondly remember Earl Weaver Baseball for Amiga, DOS, and the Apple II. I myself had an Apple IIc and split most of my time between Earl Weaver Baseball and Hardball! during my formative elementary school years. Now we’re hearing that one of Earl Weaver Baseball’s original designers, Eddie Dombrower, is porting the game to the iPhone.

The game will be released with a relatively simplistic design at first and, assuming it makes enough money, will be followed by a more advanced version later.
