Actually, I could live without these games just fine – I’d probably just be deeply, deeply unhappy.

Flight Control

Fantastic little game with four different airfields. You have to trace the path you want the craft to take and work things so that the different speeds and paths don’t allow them to crash. It gets pretty intense in the later stages and can be played over two devices.

This app is probably the best game of this type – and there’s a LOT of this type.

Moto X Mayhem

This game can be a little tricky but once you get a feel for it it’s an awful lot of fun. You basically have to control throttle, brake and whether to lean forward or backwards. You have to lean forward going uphill, lean backwards a little in the air so you land with the rear wheel and you have all that – with the fun of seeing an amusing smash when it all goes wrong. Awesome.

There’s 3 locations to choose from and quite a few levels for each location with varying things trying to catch you out. You will, I guarantee, break the neck of your little motorcycle rider many, many times.

Harder than it looks at first, but you do get used to it and a lot of fun!

I am absolutely amazed that someone managed to get this kind of graphical performance and gameplay out of these devices. This space based action game is absolutely amazing. It reminds me a lot of a PC title called Freelancer. You can buy ships, ship upgrades, you do missions and can trade items. It’s not quite like Elite because it is mission driven and isn’t realistic physics, there’s also no ‘freedom’, but what an awesome little game!

So this is where I landed...

Amazing detailed action with realtime combat! And yes, there were quite a few 'difficulties' to shoot at.

More will come on this when I have played it longer. Love it so far!

Monopoly Here & Now: The World Edition
MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition
Probably one of the best board games ever made. Why not have a version you can play from your iPhone or iPod Touch?

The game runs great, is easy to play and control, the cutscenes showing the pieces moving look great and you can play against the A.I. or a friend.

The gorgeous videos showing the piece moving around the board is 'cute' - according to my wife.

Battleship
BATTLESHIPI played a quick game of Battleship with my wife the other night and I really enjoyed it. The A.I. is very capable, but it is fantastic to be able to play with someone else and wonder whether they’ll be one of those people who spaces their ships out or someone who will pile them all in a single corner…

This game comes with fantastic video sequences to show you the damage you have dealt, it also has quite a few game options.

Simple, just as it always was, but terrifyingly addictive. The game seems very responsive and that really helps when the balls starts to move at break-neck speed!

Fuzzies
Fuzzies
I found this game on iTunes after looking for a decent version of Lemmings! – unfortunately, there wasn’t a decent version of Lemmings, but there was Fuzzies! This game works fantastic and is exactly the same concept with the same features. The only real difference is that it’s Monkeys instead of Lemmings and of course that it is available on your iPhone of iPod Touch devices.

No Lemmings here! The new skill you may notice is the far right which allows you to jump and grip to the ceiling.

Worms
WORMS
The original and best of Team 17′s ‘Worms’ games is available on the iPhone and iPod Touch! The controls are intuitive and easy and the gameplay is as fun and amusing as ever.

The single player is excellent, the A.I. seems very capable and provides a good challenge. The multiplayer works great and unlike some realtime games the turn-based game works fantastic.

Excellent, excellent game – as it always will be – well worth the purchase.
