MTV's five favorite iPhone games so far.

"Rolando"

Slowly but surely, developers are finding effective ways to combine all the features of the device to work together — "Rolando" is one of the first games to do that properly. "Rolando" tasks players with navigating a series of cartoonish creatures to an exit by tilting the phone and using their fingers to move obstacles out of the way. PSP owners will feel right at home with "Rolando," since it plays much like "Loco Roco."

 

"Fieldrunners"

If you've heard of "Desktop Tower Defence," you know what to expect from "Fieldrunners." For the uninitiated, "Fieldrunners" involves defending a base against endless waves of invaders by building and upgrading towers with different powers to defeat the enemy. Unlike similar games, placing your defenses is simple and accurate in "Fieldrunners." Combined with fantastically cute graphics, "Fieldrunners" is above even its (sometimes more expensive) competition.

I bought that game where you stack the cats on each other and the sound doesn't works. ARGH.

Wired's Top 10 Must Own iPhone Games

 

We wanted to write a list of our favorite iPhone (and iPod Touch) games, but we knew it couldn't possibly be comprehensive or definitive. But these 10 games are the highest-quality ones we have played so far, the ones that are definitely worth downloading.

We're sure that you brilliant Wired.com readers have your own favorite iPhone games — probably some we haven't even heard of. At the end of this article, you can nominate and vote for your own favorite iPhone games.

Best Guilty Pleasure: Yahtzee Adventures ($3)

I am positively mortified to admit it, but I can't stop playing this. Yes, Yahtzee is a game of rolling dice and hoping that you land a high-scoring combination. Only the barest of skill is required, and playing against an emotionless machine should not be nearly as fun as playing against a roomful of friends. And yet somehow I haven't been able to stop. The fact that you can pass around the iPhone to play it with up to four friends makes it an ideal time-killer for groups, and new modes like Rainbow (with colored dice!) add variety. Oh, I am so ashamed. — Chris Kohler

Best Game That'll Be Gone Soon: GW Helmet (Free)

Hey, remember the Game & Watch handheld, Nintendo's first big hit product? Those little LCD games oozed charm from their liquid crystals, and the cute graphics belied some occasionally maddening gameplay. GW Helmet is a pitch-perfect ripoff of one of the originals, where you have to guide an infinite number of unlucky hard-hat guys across a construction site where tools and buckets are raining from the sky. You'd swear somebody took an old Game & Watch and shoved it into your iPhone. You'd also swear that these G&W clones are likely to be the target of a C&D from Nintendo, meaning you should download these now — besides Helmet, there's Fire, Octopus, Chef and Parachute, although the latter titles cost $2 each. The very topical Bank Panic ($1) has the benefit of looking like a Game & Watch title but not actually infringing upon Nintendo's copyrights. — Chris Kohler

Here are the Top 10 iPhone Games as voted on by Wired readers.

 

1. Lux Touch (Free, deluxe version is $8)

You said: "A casual, Risk-like game that is thoroughly addictive. Can't save, but hey, it's free. And you can finish most games in 10 to 15 minutes."

Our take: Similar to Galcon, Lux World is about taking over territory and building your armies in a short span of time. But this game is turn-based instead of real-time, and hard instead of easy. In each turn, you can attack neighboring territories, place more armies on the map and shuffle their positions around. But it takes a careful balance of offense and defense to secure more land without leaving yourself vulnerable.
