I gave in and decided to play this blockhead game. It is a run and shoot and not much else, but I really enjoy the commentary during the game and the desire to get new characters unlocked to keep shooting more of these weird black things that appear. I would say it is worth the download.

I will try Orbital for sure as it looks good and my favorite music group is Orbital you son of a bitch Robb.

Also going to wait for a sale on Pacman hopefully. so pac that in your shorts.

[quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Pac-Man: Championship Edition came out today. It's $3, I think.

I think the best iPhone game I bought was VectorTanks. And now I am not sure if that is its name.[/quote]

That is its name!

A lot of people have had good things to say about Orbital, lately.

I stick by GeoDefense. I've told a few people I know to go buy it and if you don't like it I will personally Paypal you the price of the game back. Nobody's asked for a refund yet. That game is awesome.

I'm also addicted to Moto X Mayhem. If you are an old school Commodore guy, it's a lot like Kickstart. Just 2D motorcycle fun. It's a little short but it's fun and I think it's $1.99.

I downloaded Dragon's Lair and Space Ace but both of them are for nostalgia factor. They're the same as they ever were. It's fun to show them off but that's about it.

Attack from the Dead = Oh my, I really thought I was going to get something here. The previews looked decent and it had zombies. Man, I totally screwed up here. I felt like I was playing space invaders with zombies trying to defend my cardboard barricade. This is not the first defend your fortress game I have downloaded, but man some of these games should at least make it worth 2 minutes of a persons time while playing. Give the player a gun, have zombies run at them and shoot. Wow, you really made some advancements there guys. Great work!

More to come...

Anyone else letting their PSP's gather dust upon finding out how nice it is to play iPhone games?

My top 5 screen joystick games right now are:

5. Blades of Fury = I am sometimes so impressed by where we were as kids with fighting games and where we are now with the shear beauty of graphics and moves in these games. on a darn iPhone none the less. I could not believe it when I saw this game and the pure graphical bliss it displayed. Gameloft is seriously kicking butt with the iPhone. Almost every game they have put out is top notch in my book. The controls were great on the phone and I was compelled by the character choices. Are you kidding me, on a Phone?? Still shocked!

4. Skee Ball = Ok, something about having flashbacks of Showbiz Pizza and those rockin tunes those animated characters played still resonate with me today and the pure sport of skee ball. I seriously wonder if there is a skee ball league I can join. I would even go as far as owning my own skee ball set if need be. Get them babies all shined up and shit for Grand Prize game annihilation. I want to make a movie about professional skee ball competitions. Ok, the game is good. You can control the ball with the tilt of the phone and shit. A very quick game for those toilet cruises where you only have the length of your turd to get a decent game in.

3. Alive for Ever = As some of you may know, I own a haunted house in Denver www.cityofthedeadhaunt.com. Sorry for the shameless plug on this review, but any zombie game is going to get a play from this blood maniac. I really like it when I get to do mass destruction to tons of mindless folk and this game offers plenty of brain dead walkers. They just wander around the screen and I get to look down on the splattering action from above with plenty of firepower and the desire to see numerous nice looking levels. My only struggle as with all iPhone games is the responsiveness of the onscreen controls. Sometimes you get in a bind and have chompers on your brain and the damn gun wont shoot.

2. Resident Evil 4 = To think I can get even more joy out of this game on my iPhone then the Wii really shows the capabilities of this little wonder unit in my hands. Great game with some top notch graphics. A must own! Not going to beat this one into the ground here, you should all know what you are getting here.

1. Dungeon Hunter = Another Gameloft package of joy here. I am a sucker for adventure, character enhancement with a mission type game. I have really enjoyed the missions in this game, the characters and the ability to keep making my muscles bigger on the screen and in my thumbs here. A great game. Maybe it is the fact it is winter and 5 degrees outside here, but the idea of going on some missions for the warm villagers of this game seems to keep my attention.

Honorable mention = Ghost n Goblins = I don't care what system I am playing this game on, it will always be fun. I actually have managed to pass parts in this game that have haunted me for years as the controls seem a little easier on the iPhone. I remember reading a review somewhere that stated that they decided to go ahead and make the game a little easier. That was nice of them.

Terminator Salvation = A fricken movie game, are you kidding me. I know, I was surprised. I got that Gears of War enjoyment when playing this game and liked the controls and feel of the game. It works.

Anybody else have suggestions? I mean 99 cents for a game is not breaking the bank here, but I have downloaded some real duds.

More reviews to come as I am enamored with this unit as a game platform. [/img]
