Be a ‘Brother in Arms’ with this new shooter game for the iPhone
Gameloft on Tuesday announced the launch of “Brothers in Arms: Hour of Heroes” for the iPhone and iPod touch. The game is available right now for immediate download for $9.99 from the App Store, and it may help to usher in other high-res shooter games to the iPhone.

Brothers in Arms is based on the popular 3D shooter action game franchise from Ubisoft for the PC and other platforms. The game, like other titles in the series, is based in World War II, and Gameloft bills it as the first World War II-era shooter to arrive on the App Store. It features full, sharp high-res graphics fairly similar to the other titles in the series.
Brothers in Arms: Hour of Heroes features 13 missions across three campaigns: Normandy, Ardennes and Tunisia; the ability to command vehicles including Jeeps and Sherman Tanks; a choice of different weapons ranging from bazooka to rifle and machine guns, and support for the iPhone accelerometer for actions like grenade launching.
Hopefully this will lead to other companies launching their own popular lines on the iPhone, to give us even more gaming goodness.
