Best 5 games for iPod Touch or iPhone – personal top

iPod Touch - great for leisure gaming

Since iPod Touch is one of the hottest gadgets right now and everyone seems to have on, i thought it might be a good idea to show you a couple of games for this Apple gadget. After all, they are one of its best aces .

Actually, it’s my top 5 favorite iPod Touch games; they will all cost cost you a couple of bucks, i couldn’t find any free game good enough till now, but will also help you spend some quality fun time with your player.

They work on all iPod Touch versions launched so far and also on all existing iPhones, just in case you were wondering.

I won’t get into details, like telling you how to install games on your iPod; I assume you already know how to do this, right? If not, just leave us a comment and I’ll add that info later on. Now let’s just see these cool games for the iPod Touch.

Tap Tap Dance – $4.99

Since I’m a big “Guitar Hero” fan (and so are you , right? ), I got this game on my iPod Touch too. And it rocks.

The game consists of tapping the screen as the dots move along 3 lines, in order to play some tracks. Song are divided in 4 categories.

You can’t play your own songs however (that would have been awesome though), but the game includes lots of good tracks from artists like Moby, Tiesto, The Chemical Brothers, etc

Trism – $4.99

The puzzle game that was the most popular iPod Touch/iPhone game for many weeks in 2008, Trism is one of my all time favorites. Although it might seem odd at first, it is very catchy: the whole idea is to group together similar elements and make the most points possible. There are three different game modes (Classic, Time and Puzzle) and you can get your scores online and compare them to your friends’ performances.

Check out the video below for more details on gameplay.

Let’s Golf  – $5.99

I always loved to play golf on my phone. I remember having some mini-golf 3D games on my old Nokia, a game I used to play during classes in high-school.

As time passed and i got an iPod, i started looking for a similar golf game for this gadget and found “Let’s Golf”. I believe this is the most advanced such game ever made for mobile devices. Comes with lots of settings, game modes, control types and courts; it’s also fairly nice in terms of graphics. And for $5.99, although not cheap, i consider it fairly priced for what it can offer.

See the video below for more details.

iBlast Moki – $1.99

I’m a big fan of games that require me to think in order to solve them. That’s why iBlast Moki is part of my list, a complex game that needs you to move Mokis (some funny little characters) from a point to another by using different elements (bombs, ropes, balloons, traverses, etc).

You have 6 different worlds and 70 levels to go through, and although the first ones are quite easy, i guarantee you’ll really struggle towards the end, with some levels being very difficult.

Also, consider that this game only costs $1.99, so if you’re into such types of fun, iBlast Moki is really a must have. More on the gameplay in the video.

Bobby Carrot forever – $7.99

Like i said, I enjoy smart games. Thus, you shouldn’t be amazed you’ll find this one as my personal best game for iPod Touch or iPhone.

Bobby Carrot forever is a level based puzzle game that takes you through 60 pretty challenging maps, ensuring tens of hours of play. Price is a little bit high, but I for one didn’t regret any second paying the money for it.

You’ll learn more about the game from the clip below, but the idea is simple. You have to complete each level by unlocking the exit gate. In order to do that you’ll have to collect a number of carrots. This sounds easy but it’s not actually, as these carrots are protected by lots of tricks and traps. Really a mind blowing (literally) game.

Of course, there are many other games available for your iPod Touch. The above are just my top 5 favorites. Some of them are quite old and don’t benefit from the graphic improvements the new players bring, but for me, gameplay and idea are a lot more important than design.

I’m sure there will be some good titles developed this year, thus i’d advice you to stay tuned and bookmark this post, i’ll try to update it with new top iPod Touch games as they come out. And i might even add a couple of free games to the list, if i find anything worthy.
