Free iPhone 3G Games
great (and free) games. Title links jump to the appropriate page in the iTunes App Store.
Cannon Challenge - Discovery Interactive
From the Discovery Channel/.com team comes a very cool strategy game that requires you to choose the elevation and velocity of a cannon that is used to destroy what we can only assume are Al Queda/Communist/Alien strongholds. Very interesting and occasionally frustrating for those of us without advanced degrees in mathematics or physics. Or, you know, warfare…
PegJump - Jerry Jones
Ever been to a Cracker Barrel? Then you know about this game (yeah yeah, I know it’s an ages old game, but let me use my own frame of reference for this one) - the big difference is that this version doesn’t have little bits of food particles or the germs of hundreds of weary travelers all over it.
The goal is to remove pegs by jumping the other pegs - until only one peg (presumably some sort of bionic super peg) remains. Addictive, well programmed and e-coli free.
Hanoi - Ian Marsh
Ever been to a Cracker Barrel? Just kidding.
Hanoi is the iPhone implementation of the classic ‘Towers of Hanoi’ game - one that has puzzled people for hundreds of years and has spawned one of the most mind-numbingly geeky Wikipedia pages ever created.
Ian Marsh’ version of the game is slick, entertaining and quite challenging - even for those of us without a PhD.
Cube Runner - Andy Qua
Remember in Star Wars, when the TIE fighters were flying around inside the Death Star, avoiding obstacles and occasionally crashing into them only to explode into fire balls - thus killing both the human pilot and the sad little R2 unit thoughtlessly stashed away in the back of the ship?
Well, imagine now that the TIE fighters were actually arrows and the Death Star were a flat surface that was comprised entirely of SUPER DESTRUCTIVE KILLER cubes. Yeah, exactly.
Labyrinth - Carl Loodberg
If you’ve ever played with one of these little wooden maze games in real life, you know how thoroughly frustrating they can be - mostly because the ball gets lost and you’re left with a chunk of wood with holes in it. Not nearly as much fun as it sounds like, trust me.
The iPhone version, however, is a blast. The free version of Labyrinth contains ten different levels - all enhanced by awesome accelerator support and a visually pleasing display of various artificial woodgrains. Best part: you never lose your balls. (Yes, I am aware this section reads like it was written by a 12 year old boy…)
That’s it - five games you may not have been aware of - mainly because they aren’t Tap Tap or Sudoku or flash light related.
