Just a short one for FF as I'm sure all of you have at some point played one. Quite simply, everything you'd expect from FF with some moderately 'nice' graphics and pretty cutscenes with full voice acting. If you're dying to play an RPG then for £15, brand new, you cannot really go wrong.
Score :: 8.0
iPhone Round-Up.
As someone who has only recently discovered the App Store, due to a bit of iPhone hackerey-naughtiness, I am loving the games that are being pumped out of the developers playground.
So...
Moto-Chaser
You are tasked with catching people...on a motorbike, hence the name. A good idea is let down by some easy to fix problems, which include: lack of online play, dreadful graphics at some points and boring levels.
Pros: Fun use of iPhone accelerometer. Easy to pick up and play.
Cons: Poor floor graphics. Bland, and thus a little tedious. No multiplayer.
Score :: 5.5
Price - £0.59
Enigmo
Given the amount of puzzlers on the App Store at the moment it is hard to decide which one to buy, but Enigmo is definately a stand-out choice. The aim of the game is to guide drops of water to a particular pot using only a few tools that are given to you.
Pros: Awesome and challenging puzzles to solve. Downloadable content...for free.
Cons: You won't want to play it for more than 20 minutes.
Score :: 7.5
Price - £0.59
Tap Tap Revenge 2
Wow. Tap Tap 2 builds on the already stunning Tap Tap in the form of beautiful new visuals, improved gameplay physics, enhanced multiplayer and a greater volume of DLC. An absolute must-have game for everyone.
Pros: Ridiculously addictive gameplay. Free DLC. Two-player mode rules. Online mode is rivaled by none.
Cons: No 'big name' music available for people that don't like rock music.
Score :: 9.7

iDracula
Who'd of known that combining Geometry Wars controls with Castlevania's style and adding admirable 2.5D graphics, a sweet array of uber weapons and some seriously competitive and enslaving leaderboards would have made a truly brilliant game. Who'd of known eh?
Pros: Killer gameplay and control system. Commendable perk integration. Funky music.
Cons: One map only, however more free DLC is on the way.
Score :: 9.1
Price - £0.59
Line Rider iRide
It's the line rider we all know and love. For the people who don't know and love it, damn you people, Line Rider is an objectiveless game where you merely draw lines using your finger. Then, you hit play and a small man, named Bosh, drops onto your lines and rides them. With the added bonuses of being able to draw background scenary, online track-sharing and gravity effects, Line Rider should be the purchase of choice for Bosh veterans and Rider n00bs alike.
Pros: Drawing with your finger works great. Multiple save ability allows for many tracks on the go.
Cons: Extremely time consuming, therefore you cannot really pick up and play.
Score :: 8.1
Price - £1.79
JellyCar
Level solving, car flipping, monster truck turning, iPhone tilting, jelly mashing pandemonium. That is what JellyCar is. You simply have to get from start to end, by touching either side of the screen to go in a direction, tilting the device to spin the automobile and touching the car itself to tranform into a huge truck. The controls for JellyCar are deceptively simple on paper, as the execution of such actions proves to be far more challenging.
Pros: Immense controls. They mastered the difficulty.
Cons: Very rarely the jelly physics glitch.
Score :: 7.9

Real Football 2009
RF 09 really is the pinnacle of sport simulations on the iPhone. It flaunts unbelievable visuals, similar to that of a slightly-better-than-average PS1 game, solid control system, masses of game modes and teams and a multiplayer mode. You control your player via an onscreen D-Pad and an A and B button. With few touchings of any other part of the screen, besides for a few tricks, and the accelerometer only used for throw-ins, the game is nearly entirely played through the few buttons. For all football fans, you will not see better than Real Football for a very long time.
Pros: Saveable league, cup and tournament modes. A wealth of match variables. Gameplay solid enough to keep you entertained for hours.
Cons: You can't buy and sell players in league mode. Absence of online play, although they have announced they will update soon with internet play.
Score :: 9.0
Price - £3.59
Pocket God
Not so much a game, more a toy, but I deemed it good enough to mention on here. In Pocket God you play God of a small island and its inhabitants. Whilst there are only a handful of things to do, each thing is done to the highest of standards. As God you can: flick your islanders, crack coconuts on their heads, add new islanders, feed them to sharks, zap them with lightning, throw a boulder at them and much more. As well as this, probably the best feature the game has is its dev team behind it who are pumping out one new 'thing to do' every week.
Pros: Weekly updates. Charming graphics. It is fun to let out anger on small defenseless people.
Cons: Can get a little repetitive.
Score :: 8.5
Price - £0.59
Oh, and another piece of news...a new editor will be uploading a Halo Wars review in the next week or so, so stay tuned.
