I Need Your iPhone/iPod Touch Gaming Advice

Who cares about the iPad? Not me. I bought myself an iPod Touch over the Easter weekend. I figured it was time to bring myself up to speed on what is currently the fastest growing gaming platform. So what should I get?

I’ve bought Canabalt (pictured) and Auditorium, two PC favourites that I’m enjoying being able to carry around in my pocket. I also picked up the demo for Rolando 2 and will probably get the full version. Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor looks really interesting, and I’m a big fan of Randy Smith’s work, so I’ll get that, too.

But what else? I’ve read Brian’s thoughts on the sixteen games that make gaming on your iPhone worthwhile. But I want to hear your thoughts, too.

I’m not interested in silly novelties. I want genuine games. Though I do appreciate quirkiness.

I don’t care much for tower defence, but I should get at least one of them. What’s the best, and why?

I’m not at all keen on games that feel like stripped-down console games. First-person shooters, for example, seem pointless on a handheld.

I guess I’m most interested in puzzle games, RPGs, adventures, shmups and platformers. What recommendations do you have there?
