Seconded, you freaking troll.
A port of Fantastic Contraption is out. 2.99 introductory price. Probably going to buy this one too and add it to my collection of ipod games I buy and never play. If my computer blows up I’ll be totally set at least!

No multitouch? Way less apps. The only plus I see is that it’s got a microSD and a real keyboard.
Each product has their own tradeoffs, but this is the iPhone Games thread and not a “I’m looking for a phone” thread, so why post here about “superior” phones?
GAF thread has info…
I picked it up and played a few minutes. Controls better than I thought, a bit twitchy though, driving was better than walking. A shame they didn’t render it in opengl but it runs smooth.
Flick Fishing is on sale for 99 cents again this weekend. I bought it (surprise) and it’s very good. Fear my boot catching skill.

Rebel Onslaught has dropped to 99 cents. Nice little Starfox type game. There is a Lite version for free.

I just noticed that Sega released a free “lite” version of super monkey ball a couple days ago. Might be worth a download if you are curious about the game.
Right now my addiction is running between:
Field Runners - tower defense, amazingly awesome graphics and sound and you can’t put the damn thing down.
iShoot - Worms like shooting game
Mafia Live - A nice text based mob game (reminds me of the old text drug runner game) with some social aspects of creating mob families with your friends.
Laminar just released X-Plane Extreme, which looks more interesting (imo) than their earlier iphone releases. You get to fly an F-22 Raptor, SR-71 Blackbird, B-1 Bomber, or B-2 Bomber. This one also has other planes in the air while you fly.
Where is the thread about all the great G1 games?
Sorry dude I see you covered it. Apologies.
One good website for iPhone gaming that I have discovered recently is Slide To Play. Its not the most detailed site in the world, but it works well to find information about new releases and impressions/reviews.
p.s. I’m hearing hearing good things about the follow up to Blue Defense, called Blue Attack!. Might be worth a look at $1.99.
Blue Attack is great.
I’ve been playing the crap out of Wordjongg since it was recommended on the final 1up Yours. Really hard though. I have yet to beat one of the talking animals’ high scores :(
Big update to Slotz Racer is out, here’s a video of the developer showing what’s new
New version of Field Runners (v1.2) is out, and adds a bunch of stuff.
