If you have any good iPhone OS games, post them here, and include the price with it, and preferably in United States Dollar, or USD for short.

Plants vs Zombies - $3 USD for iPhone/Touch, $10 USD for iPad - This game was created by Popcap, creator of many other tower defense games. You see, this game is unique. There is a Zombie Apocolypce, or however you spell it, and to defend yourself, you have plants. You have Sunflowers to gather Sun, your basic resource. You have Peashooters which shoot peas. You have Squash which squashes Zombies, etc.. I played the iPad demo, and it was amazing. Much better than the PC version which I had played prior to that. It's so good that I stopped playing the PC version, which I had been playing like my ass was on fire. The game mixes strategy and humor seamlessly, and it pays off. Not to mention that the graphics, while cartoony, are great.

Hero of Sparta - $5 USD - This game puts you in the role of King Argos, the King of Sparta. Your fleet gets destroyed, and you embark on an epic quest to return to your homeland of Sparta. You fight many a mythical being, with many different weapons and combos. The graphics are great, gameplay is solid and fun, controls are good, and it has a good soundtrack. This may be a rip-off of God of War, but it's a rip-off well worth the change. Believe me, if you have a PSP or iDevice, pick this up. (PSP version is in the minis section).

Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition - $8 USD (my source is a year old, price may be down) - Relive the adventure that started the epic saga known as the adventures of Monkey Island. This is a port of a reboot(or remake?) of an old game from 1990. This new version contains hand-drawn visuals, fully voiced characters, a good-sized adventure, and lots of humor. This game is less about adventure as it is humor. This game is freakin' hilarious. The iPhone version has suffered the loss of HD, but that is all. You can still hotswap between the CD-ROM enhanced Monkey Island from the 90's and Special Edition, you can still listen to spoken dialouge. Also, I've heard that the controls aren't the best, but still work well

*yawns* I'll think of more later, I'm tired. Also, some of these games I've played on other systems, such as Hero of Sparta (played PSP version) and Monkey Island (360 version), but these are the same, more or less. Tell us some good games from the iPhone OS, and please list the price in USD.

Doodle Jump ($1), basically.
Anaconda ($1) is a pretty good version of that classic Snake game.
There are some good word games too, like Bee Spelled ($1) and Words With Friends (free/$3) (online scrabble clone). Most of the games aren't worth anyone's time though. It's too bad the phone has no physical buttons.

Is it the full version like the PC's, or is it just an updated iPhone version?

Flight Control is pretty good, only $1. Its nothing amazing but fun for a short period of time.

Crystal Defenders - this one is by Square Enix, a port from the 360 mini games I think. Its fun and has a lot of replay value. Takes a while to master each map and get the highest score possible. Comes with all 3 versions.

Line Rider - if you liked it on the PC back when it came out, you'll love it on the iPhone. Its pretty fun to make long tracks and has good replay.

yde: The iPad version has all of the features of the iPhone version, but with the plants taking place on the top of the screen like the PC version, and it has better graphics than both the iPhone and PC versions.

Orlandu: I watched a video on Crystal Defenders and it looks amazing.


NOVA - $7 USD for iPhone/Touch/Pad - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance is a game that puts you in a universe where Earth because unsuitable for human need, people move into space in shuttles called "Near Orbits". The NOVA is an organization to protect the humans from one-another, similar to Police. While is space, the humans come across a race called Xenos, which are aliens who want nothing more than the destruction of the human race. You play as a former NOVA member who got reinstated forcefully, and you take on the Xenos to help preserve the human race. It's a first person shooter. The iPhone/Touch version is IGN's top iPhone game of '09, and IGN does NOT like the iPad version, due to various factors, such as touch for the sake of it, and clunky controls.

8-Bit Rebellion looks good. I'd download it, but the router refuses to recognise my phone and the app is over 20mb so I can't use phone internet to download it...

I tried the demo of their other game, Vanguard Storm, but it wasn't very good. Its kind of like Stratego where you advance your pieces in a straight line. Not much fun to be had there, Crystal Defenders is much better.

You can also get Final Fantasy 1 and 2 (orignal NES versions), too. I got FF1 because I never finished it, it plays pretty well. Controls are easy enough, only downside is the price at $8.99 I think. It was on sale a few weeks ago for $4.99 I think, a bit more reasonable at that price.

Oh yeah, I just remembered, you can get the NES version of Mega Man II on the app store.
