Poker Superstars III iPhone
Tags: iPhone Strategy Touch Gamer Reviews

Poker Superstars III is a fast, well presented and enjoyable iPhone poker experience. At times limited by its format and haphazzard AI, it still manages to be a good choice for the novice/improving player looking for some poker glam to brighten up their lunch break.

World Series of Poker: Hold'em Legend iPhone
Tags: iPhone Strategy Touch Gamer Reviews

World Series of Poker: Hold'em Legend joins the astronomical rise in popularity of poker over the last few years. Not only does it provide a game of real scope but it's also a lot of fun.

World Poker Tour Texas Hold'em iPhone
Tags: iPhone Strategy Touch Gamer Reviews

World Poker Tour Texas Hold'em! starts promisingly, with a slick, World Poker Tour video giving way to a clear, nicely built menu all topped off with a welcome voice over from the Poker Ambassador himself, Mike Sexton. But there pretty much ends the positive things I have to say about the game.

Fling! iPhone
Tags: iPhone Shooting Touch Gamer Reviews

Final slot in our round up of the best entertaining iPhone games you can buy for less than the cost of a decent daily newspaper belongs to the slickly presented, fiendishly addictive and hugely popular puzzler, Fling! This is possibly the simplest of the three games in our cheap game round up, although that is perhaps not too surprising given that it's the one iPhone puzzle game in the group - a genre that has proven again and again that 'simple done well' is king.

Minigore iPhone

Continuing our best 59p iPhone game theme, this week I've been playing about with Chillingo's pint-sized iPod Touch/iPhone shooting game Minigore. In summary, biting, black furry things run at you from all sides, and you, John Gore - a square-jawed, Clint Eastwood-esque, all-American hero - must fend them off by shooting their faces with your gun.

Doodle Jump iPhone

Bucking my recent trend towards covering the bigger iPhone and iPod Touch releases and more expensive titles available in the iTunes App Store, over the next three weeks I'll be having a close look at three popular games priced at just 59p. First up, the incorrigible bounce-fest that is Doodle Jump: a simple, cutesy, hand-drawn style jumping game that is far more satisfying and addictive than the sum of its parts might suggest.

FIFA 10 iPhone
Tags: iPhone Sporting Touch Gamer Reviews

Well, they kept us waiting, but for my money the release of the long awaited FIFA 10 on the iPhone/Pod demonstrates merited confidence and a commitment to entering a market with a polished product. Despite its late arrival at the party, FIFA 10 does exactly what we were all expecting - it oozes class and delivers unrivalled depth. While it's by no means a perfect game, it muscles the competition off the ball with some ease.

Spy Bot Chronicles iPhone
Tags: iPhone Sporting Touch Gamer Reviews

Spy Bot Chronicles is a follow-up to the Toy Bot Diaries trilogy on the iPod Touch and iPhone, which, you might remember from the early days of Touch Gamer, I thought was fantastic. This longer, richer, more fleshed out exploration of the superb universe created by developer IUGO has all the imagination, artistry and sophistication of the previous releases with only one small let down.

Real Football 2010 iPhone
Tags: iPhone Sporting Touch Gamer Reviews

Real Football 2010, the follow up to the much lauded first football sim to hit the App Store, feels more like an expansion of its predecessor than a fully fledged sequel, and in my opinion mostly fails to do due justice to the intense level of pre-release expectation. Despite some significant additions in terms of game modes and some evidence of tweaking and sprucing, a year on from taking the iPhone/Pod world by storm, this Real Football proves something of a damp squib.

X2 Football iPhone
Tags: iPhone Sporting Touch Gamer Reviews

X2 Football is a straight forward, well crafted game that delivers a pretty pleasing, if not hugely satisfying, experience. Despite its undeniable, simplistic charm, I can't help but be a little disappointed that X2 doesn't seem to represent much of a leap forward and, in the end, feels like the kind of game that's just waiting to be superseded.
