![]() They all quiver in fear when confronted by the League of Evil - whoever said that a platform game could not be accomplished on an iPhone was hugely mistaken. This is a genuinely impressive title which becomes twice as playable on the iPad. You owe it to yourself to play this.įurther proof that the iPhone is a serious contender for gaming platform of the decade – how did EA manage to squeeze the terrifying nature of Dead Space into this application? It seems like madness, yet the game plays much like its Xbox counterpart and has the scares to equal any horror film. The script is an exercise in gaming prose, the graphics are sublime pixelated art and the sound is liquid gold for your ears. It is as good, if not better then the Legend of Zelda, Kings Quest or any retro gaming title from the past. Quantifying this game into a paragraph seems like a terrible injustice, but here goes: this is the best ever fantasy-adventure game and is now available for your iPhone (also see Gearburn’s Danny Greef’s love letter to this game). The Nintendo-era graphics and jaunty music add to the charms of this game which is currently scaling up the App Store’s charts. Tiny Tower turns you into a landlord who must care for your tower, build new apartments, manage tenants and grow your business into a towering success. This is a peculiar sort of game and one that delivers entertainment in five minute snacks, or in five hour gaming marathons. The game may be an unashamed clone of Starcraft and it may not be the most polished game on the App Store, but its ambition and endless hours of gameplay both offline and online make it a winning title. What Gameloft has done, in cramming the very best portions of a hit strategy game into the diminutive dimensions of the iPhone, seems like the impossible. It’s hard to believe that Starcraft could fit on the iPhone. HD graphics, hundreds of cars to choose from, customisation options for each vehicle and smooth gameplay have to be seen to be believed. Here is a title which, when played on the iPad, gives Gran Turismo and Forza a run for their money. ![]() Collect coins, complete tasks and upgrade your nests in this surprisingly addictive game which goes to show how a single tap can become the basis of an entire control scheme.įor those who belittle the iPhone for ‘ruining’ gaming, they have yet to play Real Racing 2. Your task: control the bird as it slides up and down hills, using natural momentum to propel it through the air. ![]() Undulating hills welcome a tiny bird which is unable to fly. The better you get, the more retro Pix ‘n Rush appears. ![]() It is straightforward enough, placing you in the shoes of a pixelated cat (as far as I can guess) which must collect coins in order to ‘downgrade’ the appearance of the game. Pix ‘n Rush is a love letter to these gamers. Retro gaming usually plucks at the heartstrings of children from the eighties and further back. Zombies slowly shuffle their way towards a human-filled bunker and you need to rain hellfire from above! Each kill and saved human nets you some cash, your weapons are upgraded and the cycle endlessly loops until you find yourself on the top of the global leaderboard. The graphics and sound are fantastic for an iPhone title with the online multiplayer supporting voice chat for added brotherly love.Ī zombie/bird/candy game hybrid would most likely shift a million copies in a day, but for now we must be content with Zombie Gunship, an almost Zen-like experience which copies the aerial gunner section from Call of Duty, turning it into a fully-fledged game. Fight an endless rainbow of enemies and earn new weapons and armour or pay your way to the top with real money. Murder robots and humans alike in the single player game or share the love with two-players online, both are included with this ‘freemium’ game. This simple physics-based puzzler is insanely addictive and well worth your iTunes credit.ĭuel-stick shooters were practically made for the landscape of the iPhone, with Gun Bros being the worthiest contender. In Cut the Rope, your job is to get a piece of candy from a dangling cord of rope and into the mouth of Omnom. Cut the Rope: Experiments is the right man for the job and has the gameplay as well as the cute factor needed to ensure its success. It takes a goliath of a game to knock any mention of Angry Birds from the top list of iPhone games.
