With over 200,000 applications in the iPhone App Store it's hard to find the really good ones. After an application first comes out and the initial hype dies down a great application can get lost in the shuffle. As I go through hundreds and hundreds of apps I will add the best of the best to this list below. That way anyone who gets an iPhone or iPod Touch today or 2 months from now, they can look at a great list of the best apps available.
Crystal Defenders
Crystal Defenders is a tower defense with a Final Fantasy(Tactics) theme, with many of the more popular characters to choose from. The ultimate goal is to prevent every enemy from reaching the ‘exit’ of the stage.
They add multiple layers of challenge and strategy into the game in many different ways.
– The more money you have at the end of the round the more ‘bonus’...
Pocket Cocktails
Pocket Cocktails is an entire resource of alcoholic drinks from beers, to wines, and even cocktails, margaritas, martinis, and more. This application includes a picture of the drink, a brief description, and for cocktails and mixed drinks, the ingredients to make the drink.
A great feature to compliment the wines included is a database of which wines go best with which foods. Find out what...
Zombieville USA
Zombieville USA is a ‘survival horror’ but more on the casual side. Your goal is to go from the left side of the screen and move right until you reach the end of the ‘street’, killing zombies and raiding houses in the process. Kill the zombies before they touch you or you’ll see your life bar start to diminish.
While you go down the street you shoot the zombies....
Tap Tap Dance
Tap Tap Dance is a Techno/Electronic version of the popular game Tap Tap Revenge. The goal is to touch the screen at the specified spot and the specified time(just like any rhythm based game would be), and you have a bunch of good techno music to play.
After playing Tap Tap Revenge 2 and really enjoying the techno songs available, I just had to download and try this game out. While it’s...
Tap Tap Revenge 2
Tap Tap Revenge 2 is the sequel to Tap Tap Revenge, lol. In this version they have updated the graphics and added a lot more songs. More songs, online play, and a 2 player mode makes this game ideal for any fan of rhythm style games.
If you liked the first game then you’ll love this one. While I liked the first one this one really shined for me because of the techno/electronic songs...
Wide Email
Wide Email started out as just a landscape email application that let you type up emails in landscape mode. But now it’s advanced to much more, learning the shortcuts lets you write up multiple lines of content with just a few letters.
When you first open up the application it goes immediately to a new email. From here you can type it in both landscape and portrait mode. Once you’re...
Tower Bloxx Deluxe 3D
Tower Bloxx Deluxe 3D is a balancing style game where your goal is to stack as many ‘segments’ on top of each other without making them fall. If you don’t get it exactly center then you’ll notice that the building will start to wobble(making it even harder).
The crane above that drops the segments also moves so it makes it even harder. That combined with the tower...
iDracula
iDracula is a 3D action shooter. If they call games like Double Dragon ‘Beat ‘em Ups’, then you can all this a ‘Shoot ‘em Up’. You are the only human on the board, and it is your goal to shoot your way through wave after wave of vampires, werewolves, witches, and more.
So the goal is to stay alive as long as possible, shooting everything else that moves...
Block Breaker Deluxe 2
Block Breaker Deluxe 2 is a great port of the classic game Breakout. If you ever thought the game was hard before then just wait until you get your hands on this one. Just getting through the basic levels is hard enough, and there are plenty of other game modes you can play through once you’re done with them.
This game comes with special power-ups like shooting, a jet pack, fireball,...
Blocked
Blocked is a puzzle game where the goal is to push the blue block off the right side of the board. To do this you must push the grey blocks out of it’s way, and doing this might not be as easy as you might think.
The application controls very well. The blocks slide smoothly making it easy to slide the blocks quickly.
Blocked comes with 5 different difficulty levels to choose from and...
