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!

Hey Everyone!
Its been a long 6 months away from continual posts here at Rental Gamer, but that doesn't mean we haven't been busy! With one of the craziest Christmas release schedules in years the whole crew has been up to our necks in games. We've been Twittering about games and tech in general; but when it comes to our bread and butter - Where do we start?
LittleBigPlanet: If you own a PS3 and haven't played this yet, you've wasted $399+ on a box of circuitry. This is the game you must own.
Fable 2: While some would contend other games on our list for Game of the Year (GOTY), we have been happy to say Fable has been good to us and the newly released DLC makes us even more content to delve back into its fantasy depths.
Fallout 3: If Fable2 is the 3rd person action RPG of the year, then Fallout 3 is the #1 FPS RPG for the year. Simply put if you have a computer that can run it, or want to play it on your PS3/Xbox you will need a few days to recover from how awesome this game is.
Left 4 Dead: Get 3 other friends and play this. Its Zombies, guns and a hell of a lot of fun.
Chrono Trigger: Austin might hunt you down if you don't own this classic SNES port on the DS.
WoW: Wrath of the Lich King: Northrend puts in enough extra content for endgame players to be happy. Prepare to grind dailys ... NOW!
In regards to PodcampHFX09, Austin (Juno) is planning on checking things out with Jil from CraveMyHeart with his Flip camera. Make sure you say Hi!
Mark and Austin have been doing some rebuild plans and are currently working on a series of Video content releases for sometime in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled for more on Twitter.
