iOS recommended games and applications

[Phar]

Bought Texting of the Bread today, think Typing of the Dead but with Ginger Bread Men instead of Zombies, really good game which makes decent use of the platform it's on, finding the later levels a bit of a challenge though as i'm crap typing at speed on an iphone.

Missing the point?

the name on that link developing this hideous peripheral was Craig Rothwell, wasn't he the guy behind importing the GP2X and had something to do with that other Pandora thing ?

it has very small niche appeal but will never shift a unit to the 3m people playing angry birds or doodle jump in the toilet or on the bus.

I'd buy it for the Emulation and for racing games. I hate the F*ing tilt **** that some games use. Of course this peripheral is no good for many games that work well with touch screens but for FPS, Racing, Fighting and so on it may just be worth picking up.

I'd buy one if it worked for app store games, and not just for jailbroken stuff. There's loads of potentially decent iphone games that just don't work too well because of the controls, and loads more that could be done if it had a real control pad.

Why does Flight Control kill the iPod audio when played on my iPhone? Peggle works fine while allowing me to listen to the Bombcast. :/

Also for the next week the remakes of Final fantasy and Final Fantasy 2 are only ?2.29 each, which is really good value.
