I imagine a lot of people have one of these by now so curious if anyone has any suggestions of good games or apps.
Here's some I got:
Zen Bound- $4.99-
I didn't think i'd like this game, but all the reviews were great so I went ahead and bought it. It's actually pretty fun, and is best played with headphones like it says on the opening screen as the music sets the tone for the game. All you do is wrap a rope around various objects, but you only have a certain length of rope so you can't just wrap and wrap until you get 100%. The physics are decent in that if you have the rope at an edge it can fall off. Obviously this game isn't for everyone and you need some patience to play.
iDracula- $.99
For a dollar everyone should get this game. It's a great pick up and play game. You just run around shooting monsters. The further you get the more monsters come at you. There's only one level and 2 modes, so there's not much depth, but the developer says some more levels are on the way (as well as a price increase once they're released).
Exzeus- $1.99
I think it's 2 dollars until monday and then goes back to 5. The graphics are great, but I didn't care much for it. Granted I only played the first level, but it seemed kind of pointless. You fly around shooting but you can't really dodge and you're always getting hit from nowhere. When I played it seemed like I was just randomly moving around and hitting the fire button. I could have probably done just as well closing my eyes and randomly moving and shooting. Maybe it'll be better if I play it some more.
Rolando- $4.99
The best platform game I've played on the iphone so far. I imagine most have heard of it by now. They have a lite version out but I don't know what all it has.
Snail Mail- $2.99
I got it when it was only 2, but this is a pretty fun game. It's kind of a racer, but not really. You're a snail going down a ?track dodging and shooting while collecting mail and trying not to fall off the track (kind of like rainbow road in mario kart) The tracks have jumps and twists and it can get pretty hard. Fun game overall and worth the money IMO although I haven't played the other racers so can't compare if it's better or worse for your money.
Pocket God- $.99
Only reason I got this was because the developers seem to have big plans for it and are constantly releasing updates. Right now it's only fun for a few minutes, but it has loads of potential in the future if they keep releasing updates.
Aurora Feint II/Arena- $1.99/$4.99
I haven't played these, but I played the first one that's no longer available. For a puzzle game this is pretty damn fun and I'll probably end up buying it. It's the typical puzzle game where you have to match 3 in a row, but what made it fun for me is that when you turn the iphone the pieces drop to it's new "bottom" so it adds more than the games that just have a set plane. There's also RPG elements with upgrades and other things of that nature. If you like puzzle games check out the lite version.
Airport Mania- $.99
Just got this. I never played Diner Dash or any of those kinds of games, but I guess this is that same type of management game. So far I think this game is pretty fun and worth a dollar. There's a mac/pc version for the computer you can download online to see if you like it or not.
Blue Defend Lite- pretty fun game. don't know if i'd buy it, but worth checking out. The controls are weird though as they go opposite the direction you'd want.
Critter Crunch Lite- another good puzzle game. I probably wouldn't buy the game unless it went down to .99 but it's fun for a few minutes.
Space Ninja Lite- This game controls damn good. I might buy it if the price drops. You just fly around dodgins bullets until you get to the end of the level.
Sneezies Lite- I have no idea why I like this game. I thought it was dumb at first, but it started to grow on me. You just tap the screen to release pollen, then the whatever things floating around breath it, and sneeze which releases more pollen that the surrounding sneezies breath in and then sneeze, etc. It's like a chain reaction game. I'm not gay like Sirpy, but it's one of those games that's so cute you can't help but like it.
Tap Tap- If you like guitar hero/amplitude type games then you'll like these. Especially the new Revenge 2 version released that adds iphone movement to the game.
Whack 'em All- A whack a mole game that's free. It's pretty fun and worth the download. I just wish it was longer as as soon as it starts to get really good it's over.
I'll write about some others i've tried later
