Year Walk
You play the role of a young Swedish man trying
to see into the future. It starts with you walking to the church at the
stroke of midnight. Along the way, you encounter strange visions and
weird creatures. This point and tap puzzling adventure puts emphasis on
mood and atmosphere, making it feel more like a journey than a game.
World of Goo
World of Goo is also often referred to when lists of the best iPhone games are made. The
object of the game is to build web like structures using small gobs of
living goo. The game is also available on the Nintendo Wii platform,
however playing it on an iPhone is easier. The touchscreen on the iPhone
gives you more control over the gobs. Keeping your hand steady on the
Wii controller can be quite frustrating.
Words With Friends
This
game is similar to Scrabble. Although Scrabble is now available as an
iPhone game, fans of Words With Friends prefer this version. You can
play alone or in real time with friends or random users. The game
integrates with FaceBook, so you can play with friends that don't have
an iPad, iPod or iPhone.
Where's My Water?
A family
friendly physics based cartoon puzzle game. Created by Disney, this
game features a little alligator trying to make a home for himself in
the sewers of a large city. It is your job to help him fill his tub for a
bath. You guide the water from the source to his home, overcoming
obstacles along the way.
Tiny Wings
The tiny wings
of the bird keep it flying over the hills. To get over, you must help it
build up momentum. You collect stars along the way for more power. You
must reach the end of the level before night fall. The graphics are
simple, yet stunning. Also one of the best iPhone games.
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
This
is an action-adventure game of exploration. The audio-visual style
makes the graphics look like a dream scape. You use your sword to fight
off your enemies, and your sworcery skills to solve puzzles. One of the
main attractions is how well the music and graphics blend with the
design of the game.
Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor
The
interesting part about this game is that it appears quite average, but
is actually very difficult to master. You play the part of the spider
trying to capture insects for dinner. While on your quest for food, you
discover an empty mansion. It is up to you to figure out why the manor
has been abandoned. The game requires a good amount of strategy,
concentration and focus.
SpellTower
A highly
addictive game that combines the best parts of Boggle and Tetris. As the
game progresses, longer words are required to clear the row.
Real Racing 2
This
is considered the best iPhone racing game ever. Racing fans and
automotive enthusiasts both love this game. Thirty real, officially
licensed cars are featured to give gamers a truly authentic experience.
You can enjoy more than ten hours of racing fun that takes you through
some of the most richly detailed environments imaginable.
Plants vs Zombies
Part
action and part strategy, this game is a strong contender for the
number one iPhone game ever created. Using the various plants as
weapons, you must defend the tower against the hoards of zombies.
Although the enemies are creepy zombies, the game is actually more cute
than scary.
Osmos
Inspired by science, this game is
actually more fun than educational. You may learn a bit about physics
and biology along the way, but you will be too busy enjoying yourself to
think of it as a science lesson. You play a single celled organism that
has to absorb other organisms in order to grow. If you run into a
larger creature, it will gobble you up.
NYTimes Crosswords
Get
your daily crossword fix anywhere, without carrying around a newspaper
and pen. The paper version can be such a hassle. This digital game gives
you some of the same great puzzles found in the paper. For a small
monthly fee, you can access all of the puzzles the paper publishes.
