No Problem, i'm hoping more people see that the iPhone is turning out to be a great gaming device, and keep in mind the app store has only been open for about 9 months - more good stuff to come believe me.

Hero of Sparta is an awesome game, but it is only about 5-6 hours long unfortunately - definately worth it though.Oregon Trail is very fun, a whole lot of little mini games (fishing, hunting, wagon fixing, telegraph, paning for gold, berry picking) that keep it fresh and fun.Galaga Remix is a stand up port that Namco did very well, in fact they are releasing a bunch of arcade ports that I am having fun with, just downloaded Time Crisis Strike and its a blast.

Nik24 said: If you're looking for really great and cheap apps you should probably get "IDracula". An amazing game for just 2.99$. Another great one is "Enigmo". It's quite hard though but definetely worth it.

iDracula seems cool but I'm not usually into Vampire games (but then again I know I shouldn't let the premise of a game keep me from enjoying a really good game) and Enigmo is an awesome puzzler (yes it is hard) in fact Pangea has come out with several really good iPhone games (no wonder, they have been a Mac game developer for like 20 some years)

Well IDracula is REALLY engaging. You have like 3 different stages and 4 different modes.
Furthermore there are highscore lists and by killing certain enemies you receive so-called "omens".
With a certain amount you reach the next level, e.g I'm now a "hunter " (level 3 out of 15)
Besides, you can check out the lite version before buying...

 

Edit: I just noticed that Idracula is only 0.99$

Sounds like a really good game, only $.99 and a lite version to try out - nice.

I will go try it out.

 

In addition to the games already mentioned, I can recommend iShoot and GalCon.

iShoot is a tank artillery game that pretty much replicates Scorched Earth on the iPhone. It has loads of weapons, great customization options (design your own weapons, for example) and multiplayer over a local WLAN.

GalCon is a real time strategy where you take over planets and annihilate your enemy. It has five different single player game modes with ten different levels of difficulty and online (via 3G and WiFi) multiplayer with up to 4 players. The new version adds 2 vs. 2 multiplayer mode, but I haven't tried that out yet so I don't know how it works. The game is quite simple and easy to learn but requires skill and quick thinking. And it uses the touch controls just right.

Pocket tanks is free for the ipod touch!
Jelly car is also free (something xbox owners were willing to pay for cause' it was so good)

Oh, and here is supposedly the best looking iPod Touch game ever:

So Far I think I have pre-downloaded 154 apps. Over a hundred of them being games.

Sweet! I love free games, and that supercross game does look like it has good graphics, i've never really been much into sports games though - but if that's your thing I hear EA just released Tiger Woods Golf on the app store.

and wow that's alot of apps....

TapTap Revenge is all I have right now and its fun :)
