Best Iphone Games

You've got yourself an iPhone and you want to play some games on it. You might not want to just plunge into the App store. It's a jungle, and it is full of bad games.
Let us help you.
What's on top of the iPhone charts may not always be the most cleverly designed experiences. But, we think the ones below show off the appeal of iPhone gaming in the best possible light. And these games should make your commute and your line-waiting just a little more fun.

1. Angry Birds
True story: someone the other day asked me what Angry Birds was. So, for you, random person, here's the basics. You're in control and crew of feathered friends who've had their eggs stolen from them. Get your revenge by flinging the titular birds at the pigs' abodes. Look, you should just play it. Everyone else is.

A Good Match for: Frustrated set designers. The enjoyment generated by the destruction of the porcine dwellings in Angry Birds is countered only by the joy of a new challenge.
Not for Those Who Want: things to fall in place. Angry Birds' material properties seem inconsistent. One minute, glass breaks and the next minute it's the last thing holding up the roof that you need to crash down on a pig general. Make up your mind, Angry Birds.

2. Bejeweled

One of the most popular game franchises ever finds one of its best iterations on Apple's mobile phone. The hook here is the Diamond Mine mode, which use the same match-three mechanic to dig through layers of dirt… to expose more gems… to dig though more layers of dirt. Get the point?

A Good Match for: Fireworks lovers. A good stretch of Diamond Mine offers up explosions of color and sound that rival those of any Fourth of July celebration.

Not for Those Who Want: The standard, more placid Bejeweled experience. While it looks nearly the same, Diamond Mine Mode presents players with a nerve-racking twist on vanilla Bejeweled.

3. Cut the Rope

Simplicity's been the key to success for ZeptoLab's hit physics puzzler. As intricate as the levels get in Cut the Rope, the slicing and tapping methods by which you get cute little alien Om Nom his candy never feel too complicated to execute.

A Good Match for: Grade schoolers. Who loves candy more than kids? Plus, the cartoony presentation and easy mechanics will draw them in right away.

Not for Those Who Want: Easy puzzles. Later levels of Cut the Rope will test the mastery of most players, as ropes, balloons and whoopee cushions get deployed in fiendishly maddening ways.

4. Drop 7

AreaCode's numerical puzzle game may be the most perfect short-session game ever created. As falling numbers land on a 7×7 grid, you need to make them disappear by matching the number of vertical or horizontal spaces match the digit. Yes, it sounds tedious but when the rules finally click in your head, it's a lifetime addiction.

A Good Match for: anyone who spends a lot of time waiting for things or people. Whether it's stuck in traffic or waiting on a queue at the bank, a few quick levels of Drop7 will make any kind of stationary drudgery more bearable.

Not for Those Who Want: Productivity. It take superhuman willpower to resist the siren call of Drop7 and if you want to get anything done after installing it, make sure your iPhone's out of reach.

5. Edge

Arguably the cleverest platformer on iOS, Mobigames' acclaimed release has users moving a cube along the gaps and floating platforms of a geometrically disjointed world. Edge delivers a solid-feeling inertia and

A Good Match For: M. C. Escher admirers. The levels in Edge look like 8-bit deconstructions of the Dutch artist's perception-challenging drawings. Some of them will have the same electrifying effect on your brain cells, too.

Not for Those Who Want: To avoid virtual touchpad's. The usual problems with iDevice interfaces—finicky acknowledgement of inputs, greasy screens—will force you into using Edge's most inelegant control method if you want to complete it.
