iPod Touch / iPhone Games

[JJ]

Enigmo rules. Highly suggest getting the Thinkers Game extension for it (which is free once you get Enigmo). Hours of 'fun'.

Any other game recommendations?

[Nunis]

Here are some recommendations. I can't remember which are free and which aren't, but just search for them in iTunes. I have 158 different applications in my iTunes library; this is a sampling of some that have managed to stay on my phone. (Note: not all of these will work for iPod Touch, specifically those needing iPhone hardware such as camera and compass).


Games
Airport Mania; ridiculously addictive.
Aurora Feint; good puzzle game with RPG qualities.
Blocked; simple slide puzzle premise, but addictive.
Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D; racing game.
Dexter the Game; not perfect, and difficult, but good.
Dizzy Bee; another addictive and cute game.
Enigmo (as mentioned above); excellent puzzle-type game.
Flight Control; like Airport Mania, more polished, less cute.
Guitar Rock Tour 2; yeah, it's like Guitar Hero. Fun.
Harbor Master; similar to Airport Mania. Addictive.
Lux Touch; kind of like Risk.

Max Injury is brilliant fun, throwing a crash test dummy down the stairs, strangely addictive..

I'd reccomend paying for the full version..

Classic Doom is on the iPhone. What else could you need?
My life is now complete.

The two games I play most often on Emily's iphone are Eliss and Set.

Eliss is particularly awesome:

Counter Balance (puzzle game) is pretty cool. Though it's annoying watching these things get progressively harder and harder, knowing that the final ones will probably be nigh impossible.

[Toasty]

You were right about Spore, Nunis. Crouton and I are all over that one.

Just discovered Tap Defense last night. Good Tower Defense game. And free.

If done right, no can defend.

Which leads us to GeoDefense. Best iPod game I've played (another Tower Defense deal).

[Agrajag]

I'm liking some of these games mentioned... Never really used the apps all that much... ZA Lite (Zombie Attack Free) was one of the few I played a lot... Reminded me a bit of Tower Defense with slightly less strategy...

Blocked and Rope n Fly are two others I've played before this thread introduced me to some better games...

Anyone else taking advantage of the Appvent Calendar? One free app every day between now and Christmas... I've installed each one (except for Day 1) but have had no time to play/test them... I've been told the weekend's pair are pretty good though -- Samurai Way of the Warrior and also Navy Patrol Coastal Defense (tower defense)

Hey, look. An Agrapost worth reading.

Don't get too excited just yet.

Frog, would you mind checking JJ's medication?

This free Collect Cheese thing is the worst game I've ever seen.

Been playing this for a week straight now.

I just bought it based on your posts. If I hate it then Nunis and Bing each owe me $0.495

But is it worth the $0.99 or are you going to ask Nunis and bing for your money back?
