I know we already have a thread on the Iphone but I decided to make a new one for 2 reasons
- The first is about the hardware, not software
- With the search function down I couldn’t find it.
Basically for those who have an Ipone/Ipod Touch I’m just looking to get and give some game/apps recommendations
Last night my girlfriend paid for a binge on apps and ended up getting:
Rolando: It`s basically Loco Roco the way the game was meant to be playing, with tilt control. It’s addictive, beautiful and so much fun.
Personal Verdict::tup::tup:
(Free Demo available)
(Full version: 5.99$)
Chicktionary: You’ve probably played this on some flash version before. Basically you have a 7 letter anagram and you have to make 31 words. It`s fun, easy and might expand your vocabulary (I’ve learned words I didn’t know existed).

(Free Demo Available)
(Full version: 1.99$)
TV Show King: This is basically the Ipod version of Buzz Quiz tv. It’s a game show quiz with 3 rounds + Bonus rounds + Final round. Questions range from a wide variety (Sports, geography, science, history, Movies, TV show, music) and it has great online multiplayer.
Personal Verdict:tup::tup:
(Full version: 4.99$)
Time Crisis: You’d think something that lends itself to precision like the Iphone would be perfect for a Time Crisis. Sadly Namco made one big mistake. To reload/hide you have to tilt the device away from you, making you kind of lose sight of the screen. At the same time the device is really twitchy when it comes to that movement so sometimes you can’t hide when you want to or hide when you don’t want to. Not a game you play in the bus. Aside from that though it’s good, intense, Time Crisis fun. If you’re not sure I would wait for a price drop.
Personal Verdict:tup:
(Full version: 5.99$)
Fieldrunners: This is probably the top of the line in Tower Defense games on the Itunes store. Enemies don’t have a set path, meaning the position of your towers affect their path taken. You can’t fully block them of course. The game becomes a mix of building the right towers and making the maze to keep the enemies in line of fire for as long as possible. It’s got several diffrent levels, 6 different upgradeable towers and really good graphics.
Personal Verdict:tup::tup:
Yard Sale Sunnyville: The story goes you move into a town and find the need to rummage through yard sales to decorate a room in your new house (16 rooms with a different set of puzzles for each). You’ll be given a big picture and have to carefully look through and find a list of hidden objects (Where’s Waldo style), and sometimes have mini games such as ‘‘Paint the new lamp’’ or cut 3 rectangles in a sheet of glass. It’s got a quirky storyline, good gameplay and looks great.
Personal Verdict: ::tup::tup:
(Free Demo Available)
(Full version: 4.99$)
Trace:A free game in which you control a little stick finger and in a very ms-paint-ish fashion, you draw a path to reach the goal without being hit by any of the obstacles. Increasing difficulty is great (I’m having a hrad time where I am at right now and enjoying how I’m not breezing through it). 120 different levels spread across 6 very different worlds.
Personal Verdict: ::tup::tup:
(Full Version: FREE)
Other apps worth mentionning:
USA Today: get all the articles from USA today.
Amazon Mobile: Browse and purchase on Amazon
Paypal: Manager your paypal account and send money through it
Ebay Mobile: Same as Amazon mobile but with Ebay
I pretty much expect this to be read over but kind of ignored but I felt like writing this up in case anyone finds it useful. Feel free to add to the list with your favourites.
