iPhone is one of the most famous multimedia devices, claimed by many for the best video and audio playback device available to this day. However, it lacked games or any type of interactive software. This was a big con to people who were looking for the ultimate multimedia device. Now, thanks to the appearance of the App Store, Apple will try to change this, providing content which was up till now available only through Jailbreaking your iPhone. Over seven hundred games (and growing) are available, including some marvelous achievements and some rather disappointing experiments. We will take a look at a very small fraction of them, carefully picked according to our personal taste and categorized by price tags. We will show you our top favorites and some games that you should know about.

Galcon is a wonderful game! However, it is very annoying that iPhone doesn't have any decent strategy games, they would be perfect to play on such a big screen. Even if they are turn based, they'd still be cool.

I like the Poker game. It's pretty detailed and a lot more than I was expecting for my five bucks.

We're not nescecarily iPhone haters BTW, i've played with them, and while it is possibly the nicest phone interface i've ever used, i still wouldn't give ya $200 for a interface. My biggest prob with apple products is that there SEVERLY overrated. I dont wanna start a flame war, just my $0.02. That and it's on AT&T's network, i guess they didnt have a choice though, we turned it down in the beginning anyway. :D

wheres super monkey ball? that game is awesome

Pretty cool, honestly. However, the fact still remains, with all the multimedia capabilities and now gaming, the phone aspect is suspect at best. If you want all these cool features your are probably better off getting an iPod Touch.
