iPhone Gaming

I really didn't mean for this to become an iPhone blog, but GameLoft have just released two games that have really blown me away. Modern Warfare: Sandstorm and Blades of Fury. Unfortunately both are knock offs of other IPs, but they did a superb job with both titles.

As the quality of software and even games improve it will help establish a greater trust in mobile computing. Hopefully more trust will equate to a greater need. Point in case, I can't wait for Madden, FIFA, and Doom.

Update: Even despite a hard crash bug in Dungeon Hunter, I would still purchase it again. I believe one of the side affects of quality games for the iPhone is that independent developers are going to have to work extra hard for a piece of the pie. Gameloft, EA, Flick, and Ngmanco are setting the bar high. Justifying anything of lesser quality on my iPhone is going to take some serious convincing, ingenuity, or cleverness on the part of the publisher.
