iPhone Madness

Jil and I snagged iPhones from Rogers yesterday; we were excited to finally get our hands on the shiny new toys and I quickly dove into the app store to find out about the gaming scene on the iPhone. Having no clear idea what to expect (other than Super Monkey Ball) I picked a few titles and was plesantly suprised. The amount of available content at the low pricing makes this platform viable for gaming for sure.

Touchgrind: A fingerboarding game that is simple to pick up and play, easy to learn and a heck of a lot of fun. Ollie, fliptrick and grind your way around virtual environments. Worth the $4.99 for sure.

Ocarina: A simple musical app, this $0.99 was an interesting few mins of attempting Zelda tunes and Journey - sheet music available at ocarina.smule.com - I think the best part is wirelessly snooping on what everyone else is playing!

Trace: "Magic Crayon"-esque game where you maneuver your character to an exit - by drawing pathways with your finger! Very cool and free.

Topple: Another free game, this one is made by the same team that recently released Rolando. Stacking game that makes good use of the tilt feature. Quirky art and way to fill time.

We'll be digging around for more good iPhone/iTouch apps, in the meantime: Whats your favorite iPhone/Touch game? Let us know!
