iphones do have great games, but the phone would never hold up for me

you bastards... just purchased peggle, flight control, harbor master...

[Steve]

cant u guys pirate these?

[KnuckleBuckett]

Why?  Why would I even consider pirating an fairly priced, accessible, quality game?  Why?

[Steve]

seems like a lot of dough for something so basic lol.

I'll have to check out Flight Control

Games I mostly play are Scrabble, Word Warp, Peggle, Wild West Pinball, Mafia Wars, and Morocco (othello)

Ooh. Good thread. I just bought one of the 16 gig 2G touch that stores are trying to get rid of for a pretty awesome price, and now I feel like I'm one of the cool people.

I grabbed Peggle because of this thread, and it is as awesome as everybody says.

I also got Flight Control, and I like it but it doesn't have too much replay-ability and it's hard for me to play games where I have to concentrate for long periods of time without being interrupted by a screaming kid or a game or show on TV.

Wild West Pinball was just meh for me.

I just found a new game that I'm currently addicted to and is my second favorite behind Peggle: Angry Birds. It was the highest rated game in the app store, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Really just like a flash game you'd find online but with tons of levels and easy playing a lot like Peggle. Check it out if you're looking for a new distraction for $0.99.

How about Civ?

How about Civ?

Too time consuming (and expensive?) for what I use the iPod Touch for. It's not even my iPod. I usually only get a few minutes at a time and sometimes go days without looking, although that happens less now that I'm playing Words/Chess with friends. Civ IV seems like it would take too much time and thinking to get into. I might be wrong, though, as I've never played any of the Civ games.

Angry Birds is ok... some of the levels are just stupid hard though.

OH, and my new favorite game is Soduko 2.  I know it's just the classic game, but the interface is great and I enjoy the puzzle of it.  Plus there are multiple levels of difficulty so I can play a 2 minute game or a 10 minute game and anything in between.  Good shit.

If Civ IV for the iphone is somehow the same game as the PC version, it is extremely time consuming and addictive.  It's an excellent, excellent game.

You're doing it wrong. I haven't had a problem, yet.

Then again, I've been playing it almost non-stop the last few days home with a sick kid.

CIV is simpler on the iPhone.  That said it still works and I enjoy it more than the full game thus far.
