Viking Smackdown from Hello Viking is a slick, fun game that's designed specifically for your iPhone or iPod Touch. In it, you're a viking with an axe and you want to break things. To do this turn the device horizontal to power up your toss and then flip it back veritcal to throw the axe. It'll take you a number of tries to get the power right but once you get a few levels down you'll be doing well.
I liked this game a lot and will be playing it a bunch more to see how many levels I can get through....plus I like the whitty remarks the game makes when I screw up.
That's right, the amazing Bomberman is being brought to your iPhone or iPod Touch by Hudson. The game costs $9.99 and is available through the iTunes App Store. It looks great and plays wonderfully. if you've ever played Bomberman and enjoyed that version you'll love this.
In the game, your goal is to find your way through the various mazes while avoiding enemies and bombing stuff. Definitely read the full instructions first though so you don't get confused and annoyed. Below are a few pics from the Hudson game site.
Neverball is available through the iTunes App Store and is a great game. Your goal is to roll yourself (a ball) through various levels and collect as many coins as possible. The game is similar to Super Monkey Ball but appears to be free.
To roll your ball you utilize accelerometer and actually move the iPhone. It takes a little while to get used to it but after 15-20 minutes you should be passing levels and having fun.
38i has created a great version of Backgammon for the iPhone/iPod Touch that plays really smooth and looks good on the iPhone. If you don't know how to play Backgammon be sure and check out the rules first!
Personally, I liked this version cause I was able to beat the computer and it's fairly easy to play. I hit the wrong pieces twice but still managed to win with the mistakes.
Sarkscape, the creators of Ninja Ropes and Block2Lock have created a great, asteroid-like game called Mass Defense. In the game your objective is to make sure no planets hit yours by shooting at the and redirecting their course. The white meter on the top left indicates the amount of ammo you have and the red bar is health.
I really like this game and played about 5 rounds straight just now. I'm finding the key is to let your ammo build up as much as possible and try to get your shots to bounce from planet to planet so you get more bang for your shot. You'll definitely get hit at some point so make sure the small planets hit you and not the big ones.
Of all the games for the iPhone, this is in my top five for ingenuity. In it, you are essentially playing jumble to find the most words possible with a given set of letters. You submit words and find new ones as fast as possible.
If you register you can chat with other people playing at the same time and see their scores. Frozen Lexicon is a fun, smart game that it absolutely worth playing.
The site instructions say:
Spell words to score points. Spell one six letter word to keep your score for the next round. Your score progresses until you fail to spell a six letter word. A marks a bonus word.
Gno is a great game to play with your friend. The premise is:
Professor Phileas Gno, the renowned scholar and world traveler, is looking for some enthusiastic research assistants to help him organize his card catalog of world knowledge. Visit the Gno mansion with your friend, and through a little brainwork, a dash of luck and a sound strategy, you might just become his most favoured research assistant.
I really liked this game because you're challenging your friend with trivia questions and are working your way around a board as well. It's a little tricky to describe so I'd say just play it and you and your partner will learn as time moves on. The game's skewed a bit towards kids so it would be perfect to play with your child.
UnderClouds.com really does make some of the best games for the iPhone/iTouch right now and Gravity Swarm is a testament to that. This is essentially asteroids with a twist. They've made the game a lot more fun by adding mines, weapons upgrades and other little goodies.
I really liked this game a lot and will absolutely be playing it again.
