According to a few reports, Apple’s Fairplay DRM, which protects applications downloaded via iTunes… has been hacked. The method of hacking it has been around for awhile, but only recently was applied to Super Monkey Ball and distributed on the net. There are other reports however that claim they could not get the game to work, so whether this hack is legitimate or not is still up in the air.

To try for yourself, you’ll need to jailbreak your iPhone, and get SSH installed. This will allow you to transfer the game and play with permissions to get it to work. Bottom line, if you’re a casual or light tech newb, you might not want to give it a try. But if you know your way around XCode and the command line… You can probably make it work.

Probably the most anticipated new game for the iPhone since the ‘Town Hall’ meeting way back in March has been Super Monkey Ball.

In Super Monkey Ball, your goal is to guide your cute little monkey (that is encased in a transparent ball by the way) by tilting and rolling him through slopes, turns and drops that face him. Concentrate and navigate him through tough courses to reach the goal before time ends. Along the way you will want to collect as many bananas as you can to increase your life count.

The game has 5 worlds and 110 stages. More than enough of a challenge to keep most gamers happy for quite some time.

The control of the game may get some getting used to for some people, as it can be quite twitchy/touchy. But once you have the use of the accelerometer down, you’ll be good to go.
