Infinity Blade 2, NBA Jam, Plants vs. Zombies, Spy Mouse, Angry Birds, Tiny Invaders, Worms Golf, Contre Jour, and Puzzle Agent 2 are what I have atm. Totally recommend any of those.
Also get App Shopper app and check out www.appshopper.com it's great for adding expensive apps and games and will email/text/however contact you when they drop in price or get updated. Nice to save a few bucks if you can wait on things.
Because when i write thread titles that are long winding sentences it can be hard to RELIABLY DISSEMINATE THE SUBJECT, since it's so hard to just READ OVER IT, so I do this to MARRY MY PERSONAL WRITING STYLE to the demands of message boards. In this thread it was probably unnecessary, i think LACK OF SLEEP MAY EFFECT MY JUDGEMENT, but maybe thats just an EXCUSE. Anyway, thanks a lot for RUINING IT, ADAM.
ps thanks guys. Aside from... Infinity blade and sword and sworcery and pvz, i'd never heard of any of those. Checking it all out!
mini motor racing is quite good, also phoenix wright ace attorney is pretty cool. Dungeon hunters 2 is kinda fun but a bit over complicated, if you want something simpler Pocket RPG is fun.
Some of the games I made are fun too! Traffic Panic 3D, super save and flick football, but you can be the judge of that .
Only one I see not mentioned here is Quarrel, excellent scrabble/risk hybrid from a small Scottish company beck in my old city. Perfect iphone game imho
Trade Nations
Harvest resources grow your civilization trade jobs with your friends.
Battle Nations
A bit like Trade Nations but you create armies, progress through a story line, raid your friends outposts for resources.
UniWar
Turn Based, hex grid, fight it out with your friends, combat game.
Cosmonauts
A bit like Angry birds but with twists in the type of ammo you shoot, Plus its Retro Soviet Russia space race, a theme I can get behind and its made by a team that aren't douche bags.
I have seen mentioned here is the argument, good spelling games / risk mix from a small Scottish company Baker in my old town. IMHO the perfect iPhone game
May be a huge nerd question. But is there any sort of card based game that doesn't require a degree in physics to play? I've tried a few of the Magic Gathering style games and they involve moving on a board too. I tried KarmaStar and really enjoyed it.
I picked up "Doodle God" yesterday and it's a pretty awesome, simple little game. If you are looking for something fun that you can play for 3 hours or 30 secs at a time, demo the 'lite' version!
TINTIN THE GAME. I know it sounds like it might be a bit lame, but its actually really well made and alot of fun. I loved the animated movies when I was was a kid, so I'm maybe a bit bias. If you get Plants vs Zombies (which is amazing!) I'd suggest getting it for XBLA or PC to fully appreciate it.
