Those who still haven't downloaded the Minecraft Pocket Edition should be wary of what's in the app store now, as scammers have just been revealed to be targeting consumers with an app that can very likely hack into your phone and send premium rate messages using your account.

Spotted by VG 24/7, the hack is detailed to have already been discussed and evaluated by F-Secure, a web security firm. In a separate interview, it stated that the app acts as a Trojan, and can be very tricky since it sells at €2.50, seemingly a discount from the original, which is in the market for €5.40.

The way the app works is that it requires the permission to send SMS via an enhanced payment system. This will trigger the app to keep sending premium-rate messages that can affect your bill.

One way to differentiate from the original Minecraft Pocket Edition app is that Mojang's valid code will have a check in them that verifies the signature used to sign the APK, but the code will not run if it is not Mojang's original app.

A look at Assassin's Creed Liberation HD

Assassin's Creed HD was supposed to be a PS Vita companion game for Assassin's Creed 3, though it has not transformed to join the games being played on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

*Samsung Galaxy S5 is getting quite a lot of stir with rumours of the features and specs: Read the details here.

Sadly, the transition may not be as great and the expectations not as big and met as hoped by gamers, as CVG reports that playing Liberation, when compared to Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, takes the excitement and the high of the latest game and reels in a more mediocre feel overall.

While it features a Aveline de Grandpré, who at the get-go, seems to be a character that has equal promise, the run of the game doesn't support it. From tossing you back and forth between worlds, outfits, and environments to the lacking development of histories, character, and action it seems like Black Flag put you through a high that Liberation cannot easily compare. Yet there are still great missions that let you practice and execute stealth in exciting environments, from protecting settlers to even getting into a voodoo ritual.

Over at Major Nelson, Gabe Graziani, Ubisoft community developer, has revealed that the Xbox 360 features Agate's hideout, which can be found in the bayou, the wicked whip for Aveline, which can be used for swinging through gaps and bringing pain during combat, and a more HD gaming experiences that doesn't begin to compare with the SD. Check out the trailer here for more.
