Chillingo Infect iPad With Cooties
A new game from Chillingo is becoming viral on Apple iPad – quite literally. Germ defence game Cooties is the latest in a long line of successful mobile titles (Cut the Rope, for one) from the team we spoke to at the end of last year. The game will make use of the full touch features of the iPad and will see players tapping and swiping at the germs to keep them at bay. Full HD comic cutscenes accompany the story mode to inject the title with an extra treatment of humour. And in an amusing twist, the games creators have packed in a load of bodily facts, so not only is this entertainment, but also edu-tainment. Learn as you fight disease!
Also featuring multi-touch support, several players can jump into the action on the same iPad, as you both battle the troublesome Albert the Appendix and the band of tricky germs. With full Crystal online community integration, players can unlock achievements, compare their scores with friends and worldwide leaderboards and get up-to-date news on the latest developments from Chillingo. See below for a few screenshots and the official trailer from this infectious new title.

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
