The FIFA iPhone games are basically the DS games with better graphics and worse controls. The assets and structure are identical.

They’re okay value, if nothing else.

Tilt to Live is free for a day. It’s gotten a lot of praise here and elsewhere, and has 4 1/2 stars out of 5 on iTunes.

So let me get this right the game is coming to the iPhone before it comes to the playstation store… that is fucked.

I am a huge fan of this game. It’s Geometry Wars for the iPhone and I suspect better than the actual GW since it doesn’t use onscreen sticks. Grab immediately if you don’t have it!

Final Fantasy Tactics has been available on PSN for some time for both PS3 and PSP. The remake is also available for PSP on PSN. What else do you want?

FF Tactics is not available on the Euro store yet and doesn’t look like it will be.

Yes FF tactics is but not the remake.

Thanks for the PathPix recommendation. I really like this, and I can’t stop playing in a Picross sort of way.

The thing that strikes me about PathPix is that it’s such a wasted opportunity for in-app purchases. My wife and I both played the hell out of it, and I’d definitely have dropped a couple bucks for extra level packs.

There’s a “level pack” in that there’s now PathPix Pro, with 300 more levels.

Well, yeah, and I have that, but I’d love to be able to buy even more of them.

Poker Smash, the Xbox 360 arcade puzzler, was released for the iPhone about 3 weeks ago. It doesn’t look so great on the iPad, and using your hand to move the cards around isn’t as convenient as a d-pad, but for those who enjoyed it, it’s available for $2. (It also doesn’t have all the levels and art of the 360 version.)

I got Ninjatown, Trees of Doom, because it’s by Venan (the makers of Space Miner) and it has ninja in the title.

It’s very adictive, quality game. You have to climb the trees of doom, basically. Climbing gets progressively harder as you get higher, and the aim is to get as high as you can. I don’t yet know if you can ‘win’ it, or if it’s a pure score attack game.

It’s very smooth, well made, simple and responsive controlls, and is perfect for the platform. It was cheap too, $2. Highly reccomended.

I also got Fruit Ninja, it was a ninja theemed buying session. I got that because its gotten universal praise, made by an Australian dev, only cost $1, and of course - ninja. It’s also simple and excellent. Very well crafted gameplay, some unlockables, two game modes with a third coming. Fruit and bombs are thrown up into your screen, you have to slice the fruit and avoid the bombs. You hit a bomb, and it’s game over. You miss a fruit and lose one of your three lives. If you slice 3 or more fruit with one slice, it’s a combo, and you get 2x points. You can randomly get crits which look cool and also give you 10 points. Every hundred points you get a life refunded.

So there are tactics, trade-offs, risk vs reward scenarios, and slicing up fruit is pretty satisfying. Seems to be regularly updated, too. All in all, an amazing game for a buck.

As a general rule, I’m finding that games that are designed with the platform in mind are much better than ones that try to cram a dual shock 3 onto the touch screen.

If you like adventure games and/or raunchy British humor, than you really need to check out Hector: Badge of Carnage

Here’s a review

wow, this Pix’n Love Rush game is pretty fun.

Although I haven’t played the iPhone version, I’m not surprised, since the original version on Xbox Indie Games is great.

I put about an hour into the game I thought it worked rather well of the iPhone. I’d kinda like to try the game on the iPad but I haven’t yet.

super quick hook is freaking awesome.

My only complaint about it is the way unlocking some of the later levels is annoying, and apparently fixing that is a big part of the first patch.

A 48 hour sale of EA games for 99c or 59p.
