The Iphone has yet to prove to me that it can be a legitimate gaming console on the 3DS or Vita's level, but it has a couple things going for it: The games are cheap and sometimes free, and developers get to do wacky shit on the Iphone that a 1st party company wouldn't risk the money on. Here are some very free games that I highly, highly recommend. All pictures here have been taken with my phone.

I am a DC guy, but this game is really, really good. It's an rpg where you play as a generic agent of SHIELD, recruiting Marvel heroes and leveling them up in turn based combat. The fights are fast, very fun, and every level-up brings with it an exciting ability that is genuinely useful. You also have to upgrade your SHIELD headquarters, maintain your jets, and make money to fund your missions.

As you can see, I have only unlocked Iron Man, Widow and Hawkeye so far, and Whiplash is the first boss fight that is a serious challenge. I can't wait to unlock Cyclops, he will be my ace of spades.

World 1-1
The game's title is a reference to Mario, and the game itself certainly plays like it. A couple differences, you're a pizza delivery guy, who won't let an annoying alien invasion stop him from delivering pies on time. I love this game, from the badass 8bit music, to the little touches that make it so much more fun than a standard side-scroll platformer. It's worth your time.

Block X 3
It's a puzzle game that gives you a certain amount of moves to get the blocks in a straight line. Crazy addictive.

Layton Brothers: Mystery Room
If you like any of the Professor Layton games for the DS, or Phoenix Wright, then you MUST download this game. It's a blend of both games, high stakes murder investigations with super challenging brain puzzles. This is a true gem, with the only downside being the hysterical typos and mistranslations. I took pictures of them.

Sonic: Dash
There isn't much to explain, you've played this game before, and it's a copy of Temple Run. Still, the game is done well, and there are a buttload of unlockables.
I will need to try the avengers. I wrote it off as a cheap cash in so I never tried it.
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome game is The Room. It is mainly designed for ipad, but there is a free iphone version. It is a gorgeous looking puzzle game. It is short, yet challenging if you don't use the hints.
