iOS recommended games and applications

Is that supposed to be the whole game of resi 4?

I can't see myself buying games like this, the Iphone and Itouch as they are now doesn't have an appropriate control method to play these games. I would find myself constantly annoyed with the intricate aiming and moving that had to be performed in this game (which is something people say about the console versions of resi' 4).

Just downloaded an app called Comics, you can buy (about £0.59)/ read comics straight in the application so there is none of the downloading on PC/Mac and syncing up. It's the one called Comics not Comixology (by the same people), it has a fantastic animated cell feature which makes reading the panels a lot easier on the eyes. http://www.comixology.com/iphoneapp

Spotify's app is almost ready as well https://www.spotify.com/blog/archive...fy-for-iphone/

It's the mobile edition. Each mission concentrates on a specific area. Also, the game controls fine.

Space Invaders Infinity is out and I'm loving it. The style is stunning, the music great and you can also generate levels to your own music. An excellent game.

Somebody has ported SONIC CD to the IPhone/Ipod Touch. This isn't ****ty emulation either, its a proper port:

Although the guy is in talks with SEGA, they're abit slow and everybody really needs to email them or just drive up some activity about this. You can also show your support here:

Seconded.

A great reinvention and dare I say it 'best shmup on the iPod!', there I said it.

Buy it!

I just got my fist iPhone - 32gb 3GS - are there any apps that can really show me what the S can do? I thought Google Maps was funky as hell when I could tilt the phone up and down and the screen would update, but it doesn't rotate when I do (boo).

Amazing device though, can't believe I've gone so long without one!

Any other essential apps?

That looks great. Sega need to get this port onto the App Store pronto!

Add me to the mix of new iphone 3gs owners

Great great great device Im shocked at how good some of the apps are truly amazing stuff! only downside is it wont charge when playing in my car but there is an adapter to that so its not the end of the world but I am a bit miffed Ill have to pay to pay ?20 for it

I've had the 3GS since the beginning of July now so its good to see more people jump in. I'm tempted to make a gaming thread in the general gaming boardz.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but Spore: Origins is 59p atm. Is it worth getting? I've heard it is a bit repetitive....

[Malc]

IGN review of Spore got 8.5/10, review here: http://uk.wireless.ign.com/articles/908/908798p1.html

Spore is a good casual game for the iPhone or iPod Touch and a solid compliment to the PC game. The short nature of the stages means you can jump in and out of a game in just a few minutes, and the regular progression of creature evolution means you'll almost always get something new with each session. That kind of consistent reward and the ability to tackle the game anew with each play keeps Spore fresh and worth coming back to time and time again. And the great production values, such as a mesmerizing soundtrack, don't hurt either.

Hhm, might check that one out. John Davison has done a second list of iPhone games called John's second giant list of iPhone games.
