Ubisoft has had a string of high-profile (and notably high-quality!) digital releases over the years; everything from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game to Outland to the unreleased combo of I Am Alive and Shoot Many Robots.
You can add a third game to this latest crop: Babel Rising (http://www.joystiq.com/game/babel-rising), a "next-generation version of the popular iPhone game of the same name." That iPhone game tasked players with inhabiting the role of God and preventing builders from completing the tower for as long as possible; we'll leave the religious interpretation of that futility to you.
Ubisoft has partnered with Mando Productions, a French developer which took over development of the iOS game, to bring the experience to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The hook: touch controls are out and motion controls are in. Babel Rising will support both Kinect and PlayStation Move, as well as competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes. If you can't wait until the "calendar year 2012" release date, we'd suggest trying out the iOS version for a buck – that's a small price to pay to play God.
