The latest game from Namco to hit the iPhone is an iPhone version of an old arcade classic called Time Crisis Strike.

Time Crisis was a popular shooting game that was available in arcades and then various consoles, I used to play it on my PlayStation many years ago with a light gun and it was one of the coolest games available at the time.

The iPhone version features 3 different modes, Arcade, one stage trial and Crisis mission, overall the game is pretty good and the gameplay is fun, you shoot your enemies by touching the screen and you reload by tilting or shaking your iPhone.

Overall its a fun game for the iPhone and if your a Time Crisis fan then you will love it.

Time Crisis Strike is now available from the iPhone App Store for $5.99, here’s the link.

It looks like AT&T are going to charge iPhone users to tether their iPhone to their PC or Mac, and it will cost around $30 per month and there will be a cap on the data of 5GB per month.

The reason we haven’t heard or seen anything about it, is because AT&T is being extremely paranoid of how the service will run on their network. “Since I’ve worked here, I’ve never seen them be so worried about legalities,” my colleague explained. Regarding the service being available to Blackberry users, he says that it’s a different situation. Blackberry users haven’t slammed AT&T’s network by the millions in one quarter, in such large rushes. “Regardless of how many billions of dollars AT&T pours into their 3G network, it hasn’t been stable enough to handle all you iPhone users,” he explained.

Here’s some details of the potential tethering plan.

• 5GB Data Cap (just like Blackberry users) – AT&T will automatically turn off your tethering connection if you use too much bandwidth. Of note, the 5GB cap might get sliced for all users, not just iPhone users, in order to accommodate all new tethering plan customers (bandwidth demand).
• Initial connection through iTunes? (not sure if this is every time you connect, or just for initial setup)
• Expected speeds: GPRS: 30k – dialup speeds / EDGE: 110k – ISDN speeds / 3G: 1000k – slow broadband.
• You’ll want to disable auto-updates for everything, so as to not go over usage limitations.
• Will be +$30/month, new iPhone plans may be rolled out with tethering rolled in.
• Do not pro-rate tethering/bandwidth, it can become a nightmare, instead wait until new billing cycle.
• For unlimited bandwidth, AT&T will tell you to get a wireless PC card.
• No idea on a launch date.
