Hero of Sparta - Gameloft

Amid all the simplistic casino and puzzle games crowding the App Store, it's easy to forget that the iPhone can pump out some pretty console-like game experiences.

Fastlane Street Racing - Atod AB

Before you plunk down your money on Fastlane Street Racing, a lovely looking arcade-style racer, ask yourself this question: Do you want to have fun, or do you want to spend a maddening amount of time mastering a technique called "drifting?"... read more at MacLife

Dropship - ngmoco

Dropship pairs clear, vector-style graphics with a dead-simple premise of retrieving lost people and packages.

The game solidifies as a fun, iPhone-sized distraction, even if it lacks long-term depth... read more at MacLife

Brothers in Arms: Hour of Heroes - Gameloft

We never thought an iPhone game could be epic before enlisting with Brothers in Arms. This 3D action title is exciting and fast-paced, even without qualifying, "…for the iPhone," like the insult comic dog.

SnapTell Explorer - SnapTell

Star Wars Sound Board - THQ Wireless

As near-obsessive aficionados of Star Wars, we wanted to love the new Star Wars Sound Board app, which gives us Darth Vader’s wheeze and other friendly, familiar sounds at the touch of a virtual button. But the Force is not with this app. Even though it delivers other audio clips... read more at MacLife

Knot Time - Dustin Thomas

Unless you grew up on a sailboat or in the Boy Scouts, you probably have no idea what someone wants when they ask you for a Monkey's Fist. It might sound like an exotic drink, but it's actually a complicated knot that you can learn to tie with Knot Time... read more at MacLife

Pool Rebel - Mind Trick Software

Pool Rebel takes a page from flash-based billiards games attempting to consolidate the pool mechanics for casual players. The trouble, of course, is that these choices dilute the game so much that there's little left resembling actual pool... read more at MacLife

World Championship Pool 2009 - I-play

World Championship Pool 2009 may be light on trappings such as player animations and environments, but the accurate physics and tight controls make this one of most challenging and accurate billiards games on the iPhone platform. That's not to say that WCP 2009 lacks anything in presentation, though. The 3D tables, free-roaming camera, and lighting effects provide some visual splendor... read more at MacLife

Midnight Pool - Gameloft

From the time Midnight Pool loads up, and "Sweet Home Alabama" plays from the virtual jukebox, you know that Gameloft has gone to great lengths to preserve the pool hall atmosphere.

Cooliris - Cooliris

Like its desktop version, Cooliris visually browses the Internet.

The results are presented in a three-dimensional grid view, and you can swipe the pictures left or right... read more at MacLife

SPiN - Super Shape Puzzle - Secret Exit

Touchgrind - Illusion Labs

Imagine your fingertips are feet, and you'll understand the novel control scheme for Touchgrind's skateboarding. You don't have to push, but your fingers control the movement, jumps, and tricks. Lift the front finger to shift the weight to the back finger, then pop the back one to jump. And flick motions start the board twisting underneath. It,s goofy, often off-balance, and usually entertaining... read more at MacLife

BeejiveIM - Beejive, Inc.

Forget mobile IM apps, BeejiveIM chats circles around most desktop IM clients. This versatile messaging app lets you keep in touch with all of your far flung friends across one or more accounts with AIM/MobileMe, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber, and MySpaceIM.

Yahtzee Adventures - Electronic Arts

Like the recent iPod version, Yahtzee Adventures crams those five dice into an iPhone with plenty of extras rolled in. A story mode against the game's AI characters, multiplayer with up to three friends, and alternative game rules--even with multicolored dice--make this Yahtzee translation better than the analog original... read more at MacLife

Blue Defense! - John Kooistra

Blue Defense! turns shoot 'em ups on their heads. The game borrows heavily from classic arcade shooters yet differentiates itself with clever motion controls and shifting perspectives.

CheckOff - Buckaroo Software

WikiPDA - NextAroundYou

At $1, NextAroundYou’s WikiPDA is the cheapest of the lot, so it makes sense that it doesn’t have as many features as either of its pricier competitors. It doesn’t do much more than allow you to search Wikipedia... read more at Macworld

Wikipanion Plus - Robert Chin

Right off the bat you’ll notice that, at $5, Robert Chin’s Wikipanion Plus costs more than the other two apps. (Note that there’s also a free version of Wikipanion available in the App Store.) Why such a big difference in price? Wikipanion Plus has a couple of great features... read more at Macworld
