			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s a fairly irritating problem with many iPhone games. It drives me nuts. It’s the fixed use of the 90° counter-clockwise landscape orientation. If you look at this photo from the Assassin’s Creed Ⅱ demo at the Apple event back in September 2009, you can see what I mean:</p>
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://atomized.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/assassinscreed2iphone.jpg" alt="" title="Assassin’s Creed Ⅱ" width="450" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-681"></div>
<p>The problem is that when you hold the phone, you cover the speaker and the headphone port. Whoops: No sound for you. Assassin’s Creed is far from the only game that does this. It seems like such a no-brainer, I don’t know why everybody chooses this orientation. Maybe developers are targeting iPod Touch instead of iPhone? Its headphone jack is in the top-right position when in the same orientation. It seems like a trivial thing to add, but nobody seems to do it. Hell, you could probably detect the type of device and put it in the right orientation automatically. Nobody does, and it sucks, and it bugs me whenever I try to play a game.</p>
