“Apple gaming has come a long way in a short time, and estimates suggest there are over 13,000 games on the App Store. This means if you’ve just got yourself a new iPhone 3GS, 3G or iPod touch, the choice may be overwhelming,” Craig Grannell reports for TechRadar UK.

1. Bejeweled 2
2. Drop7
3. Flight Control
4. Galcon
5. geoDefense
6. Missile Command

SuperBall 3 not listed? Laaaaame.
My vote goes to:
Words with Friends
Basically Scrabble but you can play against someone from across the room or across the world. Over Wifi, 3G or edge.
My whole family is addicted. No push yet but it will send you a text when it’s your turn. (or email)
And it’s free or .99 with no ad version.
I’d add:
Quordy … a Boggle-like game.
Ancient Frog
ZenBound
Edge
Eliss
They’re all beautifully designed, puzzle games with excellent graphics and sounds.
No mention of Stoneloops Of Jurassica? Criminal.
I’m happy to see Craig Grannell put Bejeweled 2 in first place. It’s a brilliant game for casual gamers: easy to learn, fun, beautiful to look at, suitable for short or longish plays, and best of all, it lets you listen to your own iTunes music or talk podcast.
I used to play the Mac version, with a mouse, but the App version is so much better with the touch interface.
Trism is shit, gets way more attention than it deserves.
I’d add :
glyder, and if jelly car would ever update with some new levels I’d b all about that one.
fieldrunners is still my main game on the iphone. also, for a couple weeks straight, i couldn’t put down stoneloops.
StoneLoops should be on that list! And I love Bejeweled2.
Still learning a few. Play Flight Control with my housemate, retry retry retry retry!
I have a wish for Bejeweled 2, let me lock my endless game or move the buttons apart.
I had over 6,000,000 points on it and I lost them all one day when I accidentally hit no to continue playing?
Scrabble (despite randomizer being slightly off)
Word Warp
Wurdle
Battle Field ($.99) is a lot of fun – planes, tanks and turrets.
Triazzle is a beautiful and classy new puzzle game. Amazing sound tracks and magical animation. Go see it, you’ll love it – children, too.
a couple of days back, my brother introduced me to “I Dig It”. Damn him, can’t stop playing it :[
But yes, I’ll throw in a vote for Zen Bound, because its just so original in its approach and aesthetics. Other than that, I very much enjoy Modulo, PB Harmony and Numbrix.
Yeah, forgot about stoneloops! Great game!!
What about Solebon Solitaire?
It’s the only thing I can win at. Sad, I know.
No Enigmo?! Guess I’m old school in a newer school.
DoodleJump… Addictive!!!
Missle Command?!?!?! Wow! I remember that one on my Atari 2600 way back when. One of my favorites.
Zombieville USA – There’s nothing like wasting a few of the undead while the powerpoint presentation drones on during the meeting…
I’m with you on zombieville. Graphics never get old!
Bookworm and Air Master 3D for me 😀
