Check out Face Race, it has a sort of old-fashioned, card game feel to it, but it uses real photos of the players in the game. Fun party game, too: http://weheartgames.com/getfacerace/

Very nice collection of games indeed! I must say that Sticky Licky has a very unique touch to it. Reminds me of the game Braid. 5/5

Here’s another game that my friend showed me just last week. It’s an oldie but goodie re-made. They also made the game so the player can unlock more things the more they play. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=302882858&mt=8

I definitely like FlightControl..

I like the simplicity of Rope’n'Fly – fun yet so, so simple graphically (other than the physics)

Enigmo gets my bid for the coolest casual game I’ve played…

I like pixwar, Archon, Sorceror 1 & 2, and Dark Nova.

I’m largely unimpressed with a lot of games’ replayability.

Games that are built without good controls, without a good game concept … these are more like iPhone novelty items to me.

Design is clearly VERY important — but the CORE GAME CONCEPTS are equally as important.

In some instances, I wonder if the program being offered as a game really is a “game”? Or is it more of a novely item?

Great list but… you missed MouthOff, simple, fun and well designed http://tinyurl.com/b25w5b

I might have had a little to do with it :)

I love popper! It is very entertaining and I like the variety of games with each level. I just can’t get off level 10!!!

Wow, I cannot imagine the time it took to rifle through all those apps and come up with a short list. Very helpful info for those of us looking for design ideas, inspiration, or simply a new game to play!

I guess it’s not under the radar, but I got addicted to Paper Toss for a couple of weeks.
