August has been a busy month for all of us here at NoDPad, both inside and outside the App Store world. But we were still able to get our iPhone gaming fix for the month, as August exploded with a slew of new and awesome games. Daniel: August was just a month that was waiting [...]
July kicked off with the release of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4-specific games and graphics. Surprisingly, not a lot has been going on other than that, but we were able to dig up some of our favorite games of the month. Read on to find out more about them! Daniel: July marked the beginning [...]
I’m sure that if you’re holding a new iPhone 4, you would want some games that go along with it. So I’ve compiled a list of the top 5 games made specifically for the display, with higher detail in terms of graphics and much slicker in terms of design. So if you’ve been looking for [...]
On July 10, 2008, Apple opened its App Store to the public. The App Store was not the first venue of its kind, but has arguably become the most successful and influential digital distribution platform of all time. Bolstered by the runaway success of the iPhone, iPod Touch and now the iPad, the App Store has muscled its way into the mainstream consciousness, and has definitively proven the potential of the online distribution model for media content.
I shudder to think of the money I’ve poured into the app store in the last two years, of the number of apps heaped upon my hard disk. Amongst its more than one-million apps, the App Store houses many treasures. But to find these treasures, one must often navigate the slush, and not every promising title lives up to expectations. In this article, the NoDPad staff has put their heads together to highlight some of our favorite games from the app store’s first two years. Our picks range the full time-line, including some newer titles that have helped to push gaming forward on the iDevices, and many old classics refusing to give up their thrones.
We have intentionally not included iPad titles in this list, as the device is still relatively new. Naturally, not all of our individual favorites made the list. But we feel confident that the titles below, organized by genre, represent some of the best gaming currently available for the iPhone platform.

With a unanimous vote or choice of Super Quickhook to be mentioned as one of our favorite [...]
So today was the day that Apple released its new phone iPhone 4, and today was also the day that I woke up at 3:00 AM to get in line for the release. Of course, my local mall didn’t open doors until 6 AM, and the Apple Store didn’t open until 7. Here’s basically a [...]
iOS 4 was released for the iPhone and iPod touch today, and I luckily had the chance to download it and give it a shot. To me, it’s everything I expected it to be. But that’s not writing it off and saying that iOS 4 is horrible; no, this is an awesome firmware upgrade that [...]
The new iPhone has been announced today along with a name change from iPhone OS 4.0 to iOS 4.0. And unlike any other firmwares before, the 4.0 update will be FREE for all users, including those holding the iPod Touch. But with all that aside, let’s get to the real thing: iPhone 4. iPhone 4 [...]

Matt: Sing with me: One-hundred Rogues Watching them go forever How many souls will the dungeon stole It’s at [...]
Puzzle games are the overlooked genre of the platform in my opinion. They lend themselves perfectly to the level or two at a time ability a mobile device offers, yet for whatever reason they get buried under the sea of other titles. But developers plug along and release the sleeper hidden gem of a puzzler [...]
