I’m ecstatic about their decision to do this and wish every game/app company would follow suit. It drives me nuts that most games require you to buy two versions if you want it on both devices. Go 2Dboy!

I recently recommended a bunch of iphone games as a twitter response so I thought I’d post a more thorough entry here.

Games I’ve got loaded:

• Lux Touch – Risk style game; this is the free version which is good enough for when I get that urge.
• Quordy – Boggle style game; has multiplayer challenges; I should play more, but there’s so many other games.
• Fieldrunners – tower defense;  my favorite of the many many TD games that I’ve tried on the iPhone.
• Mecho Wars – turn based strategy game, similar to Advance Wars;  I like the art style.
• Tiki Towers – physics puzzler, similar to world of goo, but not as polished.
• Civilization Revolution – port from xbox live.  It’s not quite as detailed as the pc version, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
• iBlast Moki – physics puzzler.  It’s my new favorite game.  I love the art style and the game theme plus level design is fantastic.
• Secret of Monkey Island – classic adventure game
• 2 across – crosswords
• Flight Control – finger drawing / time management game
• Robocalypse – RTS game.  ported from nintendo DS
• Uniwar – turn based strategy
• Tris – tetris clone

Games I’ve got an eye on:

• Romance of the Three Kingdoms – koei port!
• Hybrid: Eternal Whisper – action/rpg
• Zenonia – zelda look-a-like
• Catan – official Settlers game, but currently looking clunky
