Realracing Real Racing Racing No other racer right now combines this title's stunning visuals, smart AI, and excellent community features.

Pockettanks Pocket Tanks Deluxe Turn-based Scorched Earth clone.
Unoiphone Uno Card Uno.
Baseballslugger Baseball Slugger Sports Homerun derby, online, and with leveling up.
CivilizationiPhone Civilization Revolution Civilization It's Civilization. Do you need a description? The controls can be a bit cumbersome, but it's totally playable.
Spaceinvadersinfinitygene5 Space Invaders Infinity Gene Classic Shmup It starts out like a regular Space Invaders game, but quickly evolves as you play it. It has fucking awesome music and graphics, perfect controls, and it lets you play to music off of your iPhone/iPod Touch. Fuck year.
Thequest The Quest WRPG Could compare it to The Elder Scrolls games. Has multiple races and skills you can pick. Pretty fun.
Uniwar Uniwar Strategy

Turn based strategy game. Similar to Advance Wars.

Labyrinthiphone Labyrinth 3D Ball Rollan Games Tilt all around to move the ball around the maze and reach the goal. Just like the real game that consists of a box, a maze, holes, and mad tilting skills.
Wordace Word Ace Word Game Odd combination of Texas Hold 'Em and Scrabble. Complete with achievements and friends list.
Stoneloopsofjurassica Stone Loops of Jurassica Puzzle Good Zuma/Luxor clone.
Orbital Orbital Puzzle Shoot balls, make orbs, don't cross the line. Requires a bit of thinking.
Edgeiphone Edge Puzzle You control a box which you move around a map to reach the goal. It's not that simple. There are moving platforms, other blocks pushing you forward, and other obstacles which turns this game into a game of solving puzzles just to reach your goal. It is an extremely addicting game.
Wormsiphone3 Worms Turn-Based Little slow, graphics could look better, wait for local/online multiplayer update.
Hook champ Hook Champ Platformer Lots of grapplan, coin collectan, and hat purchasan. Bionic Commando but with a heavier emphasis on swinging through levels at mach speed. The leaderboards, excellent controls, retro graphics and sound will keep you 'hooked'.
Jet-car-stunts Jet Car Stunts Racing Jet Car Stunts is an amazing iPhone racer that resembles Trackmania. It's got heavy car physics, excellent controls, a great drift mechanic, crazy track designs and lots of opportunity for huge, satisfying hang time. The lack of a multiplayer mode is unfortunate, but the single-player affair will keep you busy for weeks.
Wolfenstein-rpg3 Wolfenstein RPG FPS RPG Wolfenstein plus turn based combat in fully rendered 3D environments. Battles consist of taking turns shooting or moving, giving the game an almost chess-like feel. 8+ hours of game time.
Beat-it 1 Beat It! Rhythm Game Great music-related game that tests your ability to recognize rhythms. The objective of the game is to chart out the rhythm of a piece of music the game plays; mostly percussive stuff. Starts out simple but gets challenging. Great art style.
Cube-Runner-3 Cube Runner Action Simple looking game much like the kind you played in class on your TI-83, except now in 3D. Game is controlled by tilting, level packs range from easy to ridiculously hard, and it can be played in portrait or landscape modes.
Soosiz-6 Soosiz Platformer Super Mario Galaxy in 2D. Seriously. Music sucks, but gameplay is awesome.
Shift Shift Puzzle Platformer

This game is a lot like a 2D Portal, except instead of using portals you press a "shift" button that inverts the colors of the level and flips your character across the color boundary. Unique gameplay and controls. Also, jazzy music. Should you need even more Shift, you can find the 4 flash games that spawned the series


on your favorite flash games site.

Aurora-feint-ii-3 Aurora Feint 2: The Arena Puzzle/RPG Think Tetris Attack meets Puzzle Quest, only with online puzzle-fights and in-game text chat. Really cool.
Blades-of-fury-screenshot-iphone Blades of Fury Fighting Essentially the iPhone/iPod Touch equivalent of SoulCalibur. 10 characters, surprisingly good graphics, some interesting control methods, and wireless fights make this game worth checking out.
Critter crunch Critter Crunch Puzzle A match-three style puzzle game where you grab smaller critters with your tongue, spit them into the mouths of bigger critters til a bunch of them pop, then you eat up the crystals. Bizarre, but really good. A version of this game is on the PSN.
GTA iPhone Screen Grab Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Sandbox Game The Grand Theft Auto game that started on the DS with all the touch-screen features of the DS and the slightly better graphics of the PSP version. Controls surprisingly well and is pretty cheap at 10 bucks, considering the ones on the other portable systems are around 30 bucks.
Heroofsparta Hero of Sparta Action A God-of-War style action game for the iPod Touch/iPhone. Good graphics, decent controls, and the cyclops-decapitating QTE's that we've all come to know and love. Also a PSP Mini.
Minigore-1 Minigore Top Down Shooter A quirky little TDS where you have to fight more and more horrid little creatures called Furries. The highers your score and the more furries you kill, the more difficulties and characters you unlock. Some of the characters you can unlock are cameos from other iPhone games, including the bear from Envirobear. He wields a shotgun. It's got some pretty funny voice acting, too.
Nova-iphone-3gs N.O.V.A. FPS So Gameloft pretty much wanted to make a Halo-esque game for the iPod, and this is the result. Even though the single-player story mode is filled with cliches and hammy voice acting, the graphics are some of the best on the iPhone, and the controls work great. Also sports 4 person online multiplayer.
Oregon-trail-ipodtouch-1 Oregon Trail Oregon Trail You know that amazing "educational" game we all played in the computer labs back when we were kids? Yeah, this is like that, only with quirky 2D graphics and touch-controls. Arguably the best remake of Oregon Trail yet. Also on DSiware.
Rolando screen b Rolando Puzzle/Platformer A Locoroco-esque platformer that uses the tilt controls of the iPod Touch/iPhone to roll around series of little circles with faces on them through obstacles towards the goal. Really cute graphics.
Songsummoner Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes SRPG A strategy RPG where the troops that you use in battle are created from the music in your song library. You can even power up your troopers by listening to the music that created them. The character design is top notch, while the ingame graphics are pretty close to FFT. The story seems pretty standard, but is really fun to play through due to the fact that all the names of the characters, places, and attacks are song references. Such as the archer attack, "Shot Through The Heart". Really good.

Assassin's Creed 2: Discovery

Fightin/platformer/


stealth

An iPhone version of the succesful "Assassin's Creed 2". Better then the first iPhone AC game. It's sonic, just with fighting,treasure hunting, stealth missions, chase missions, stealth missions, walljumping, stealth missions and poster-ripping. Did I mention stealth missions? Another cool thing, during the game you will find "Wanted" posters you can rip off. You can set your own photo to be on the poster.
