Any of you guys using the IPhone 3GS model? I have an option to upgrade to one for $99 and am wondering if it's worth it?
What model IPhone are most of you using for these games? Do the newer games work on the older (Non 4) IPhone models?
Thanks

3GS would be a big upgrade over the 3G or the original iPhone.

But honestly, the extra $99 for the iPhone 4 is nothing compared to paying a contract for 2 years with data, including the $15 a month data plan.

You get more RAM, better processing power, better battery, better screen plus the gyro which games are going to start to support.

I'm kind of looking forward to Gamecenter because I'm racking up a lot of wins in Words with Friends but there's not tracking of those games at all right now.

iPad version is like $5 isn't it?

I wouldn't call it the best-looking game. Uses physics but it's mostly a flat 2D presentation.

I just don't know why people would pay that extra $5 to play it on the ipad. I hear it doesn't even have as many levels as the iphone version and honestly the gameplay alone is so addicting that the graphics is the last thing I am worried about. I transfered my iphone version to the ipad and it looks just fine.

Macca:

So I'm trying out the free version/ demo of football manager on the iPhone, and maybe you cam help me.

Twice I've had mail regarding players that I can't find on my squad. Once I sold the guy, the other time it's a note about the player wanting an extension. But for the life of me, I can't find these guys! I can't seem to find my reserve or youth squads, either, so I'm thinking that's my problem.

Any hints?

I picked up Let's Golf 2 a couple days ago, and it's a great step up from the first one. For you guys who have iPhone 4, it has HD graphics, as well. If you remotely liked the first one, you need to pick this one up... :D

I've been thinking about it Teal. But not for the $5 bucks they're asking as I still play the 1st one and I am afraid that's the same game with prettier graphics.

MUCH better courses, more of 'em, a career mode, challenge mode, more characters to choose from...it's not quite the same game with prettier graphics. But it does have prettier graphics... :D

OK, so I decided to upgrade to an iPhone 3GS.

Can someone recommend a few good games to start me out?

Homerun Battle 3D, FlickKick Football, paper toss, Fruit Ninja (there is something so satisfying about the sound of fruit being sliced by a sword).

Don't know about Underground, but the controls on Shift are solid along the impressive visuals.

Try 'Let's Golf' or the second version that just came out. Another golf game that I dig is 'Stick Golf'. It's not about graphics or ambiance, but the simplistic strategy of how to get the ball into the hole is worth a look.

Isn't "Lets Golf" a cartoony arcade golf game?

Probably similar to appshopper.com

It has discounted games, sometimes just for the day and also "free" games listed.

I tried that Table Top Hokey game and it's fun, but a little slow moving and clunky. I guess
I have to get used to the controls more. Sometimes the puck gets stuck behind the goal and the
AI takes forever to get it moving.

I am really enjoying "Aqua Moto 2"...great controls and graphics. Reminds me of that old PS2 game
Splashdown.

What is the best bowling game on the iPhone? I tried "Action Bowling" and "300 Bowling" and thought both
were just OK.

Moto GP 2010 is a pretty fun little arcade racer.
