Default iPhone Games

Hey Guys,

Im planning on getting the new Iphone 3G S (it just looks sexy!).

I was hoping we could get some posts of just games (no regular apps) that you like. Maybe a mini review, as i trust some of you more so than other websites reviews.

Thanks!

I might be too much to ask, but can you guys put a little detail into your posts (i dont want that to sound petulant). Maybe what kind of game it is, what you like about it... that kind of thing.

It's not just for me, I want this thread here for anyone that loves to waste time gaming, and I find the formats of many of the Iphone gaming review websites annoying and difficult to navigate.

You're doing this on purpose right?

I want to punch people who type Iphone and Itouch and Ipod and Imac.

But for games.. I enjoy iShoot, Bejewelled, Flight Control, and I just got Peggle.

Did you ever play gorillas on QBasic back in the day? That's what iShoot is basically, except you can buy different weapons.

Bejewelled is.. bejewelled.. google it.

Flight Control is a beautiful app that uses touch controls perfectly to land airplanes without crashing them into each other.

Peggle.. just buy it.

I second Bejewelled and Flight Control.

Tiger Woods is awesome too. Worth the $10.

It's not a game but I downloaded the Yahoo! pool manager for managing my NHL and NFL pools. Good times.

All the games and apps have reviews/ratings so you can read what people have to say before you buy.

I wish i was doing it on purpose, as opposed to pure ignorance. I'm sure you are asking why i say Iphone instead of iPhone. Just plain lack of caring, sorry boys.

Bejewelled is a good game when you want to kill a couple minutes.

I also have field runners which is a turret defence type game which has decent replay value.

If you like word games, Scramble is a lot of fun (and it is free)

FS5 Hockey (air hockey) is fun as well

Assasin's creed was kind of fun, and I thought it was worth it. I think its a port from DSS, but not sure. I know it has big brother version for PC/PS3

Cathamouse if free I think and it is a puzzle game that is quite addictive...

Tap Tap revenge 2 is like a Guitar hero for ItoUcH - kills time with tunes...

Peggle is awesome, get it.

I downloaded Zenonia as well... its like a old style RPG, zelda, legend of mana kind of thing... I'm not very far into it yet but seems cool... again good time waster...

I think you're reffering to Aurora Feint.

Three Games I love for the Ipod

Airport Mania: A cartoony version of flight Control that is addictive and well worth the .99 cents. Made by the company that does Ratchet & Clank.

Castle Conflicts: Support some Calgary game designers - http://castleconflict.brokenkings.com/ A quick and pretty fun little game. It reached the top 50 iPhone apps a couple of weeks ago. If anything it might be a company to keep an eye out for. (P.S. dude who wrote it is 22)

Zen Bound - Cool idea, great music and very zen like. You touch the screen to roll a wooden block around string which leaves paint blobs. Try to paint the block in the least amount of string. A very cool game. http://zenbound.com/

One touch momkey slap is addicting, my roommate has it on her Itouch and I just cant put it down.







I know its iPod Touch but the way people react is so funny. Does it really matter? You know what they are talking about
