iPhone/iPod Touch Apps

169000. At present there 169000 published apllications that you can put on your iPhone/iPod Touch. Are there actually decent ones in between the thousands of useless ones? Here's a selection of some of the ones I have encountered..

DoodleJump
Incredibly simple game, in which you aim to jump your little green fella up a never ending tunnel of platforms and enemies, using various power ups to help you. Sounds simple, and is. But has a great lifespan in it, and you find yourself coming back time and time again. Would the Chilean Miners had this game, I could have seen some real injuries coming.

Flight Control


Another simple little game, where you have to direct planes onto their correct runway by drawing flightpaths with your finger. Starts simple, gets incredibly challenging. Less of a want to go back to the game after a few times though.

Field Runners


Absolutely amazingly addictive game. Building your own defence system, you buy different weapons, and they will do their best to stop the runners reaching your base. Can quite easily lose an hour at a time on this game.

Monopoly



Handheld version of the popular game - very nicely set out, very good interface and all the money working out is done for you. Really enjoy this game. Good multiplayer too.
Rating - 8/10

Angry Birds



Quite simply - the most addictive, the best game you can own on a smart phone. So so simple - all you have to do is catapult birds into various flimsily made castles, in the hope of getting to the green pig monsters inside. Hundreds of levels, a game that will frustrate you, and elight you in its simplicity. Simply put - its superb.

Cut The Rope



Cut The Rope is an extremely nice little game, where the aim is to cut ropes, in the hope of giving a little green dude some candy. The levels switch in difficulty quite frequesntly, which is one of the only real faults with the game. Although no iPhone game is really diverse, sometimes you are left longing for something else with this game. Still a good buy though.

To end, I should mention that I play all thse on an iPhone 4G. I bought all apps from the iTunes app store. There are many many other apps avaliable - theres Flick Football, Flick Fishing, Paper Toss, Stone Loops - all great games, that are worth 59p.
