Top iPhone apps for gaming

By Joseph A. Swift


Whether you're looking for a game to make the commute into work pass that bit quicker or you want something that requires a little more skill and dedication there are plenty of gaming apps for the iPhone to take your pick from. From garage developers to multi-billion dollar companies these are a few of the very best iPhone gaming apps.

You can't mention iPhone and games without mentioning two other words: Angry Birds. Since it was released for iOS in December 2009 more than 12 million copies have been downloaded. Angry Birds is a game that is simple to learn but extraordinarily tricky to master, with 'just one more go' becoming a motto for any player of the iPhone's most downloaded gaming app.

The iPhone is suited for quick pick up and play gaming making apps like Bejeweled and Doodle Jump perfect for when you need to kill five minutes. However, there are also plenty of gaming apps offering something for more dedicated gamers. Metal Gear Solid Touch and Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles are two big-name titles that offer plenty of content at under 3 each.

Space Invaders Infinity Gene marries the retro magic of the classic alien shooter with the advanced technology of the iPhone. Boasting stunning graphics - especially when used on an iPhone with the Retina display - and a framerate that makes sure you see every last breath-taking bit of action, this gaming app is perfect for casual and hardcore gamers alike.

Many of these games are complemented by Apple's Game Center, a gaming app that is preloaded onto new iPhones and acts as a hub for all your high scores and achievements. Used with a game such as Temple Run, a free app that sees a treasure hunter fleeing from crazed monkeys, the Game Center is exactly what you need to find out who is entitled to the ultimate bragging rights.
