Whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced user, you'll find something worthwhile in our Ultimate iPhone User Guide. Today we look at iPhone games.


What's that, you've gotten yourself a shiny new iPhone? Our comprehensive guide to getting the most out of your iPhone will have you up and running in no time.


Gaming

Even if you’ve never been much of a Scrabble fan, the turn-based design, support for multiple simultaneous games, and your ability to challenge Facebook friends has made Words with Friends (99c) an addictive game that’s all too easy to dip in and out of all day long. Bejeweled Blitz (free) is another game that ties in with Facebook, turning an otherwise harmless puzzle game into a super-competitive one-minute swiping frenzy. If rich graphics and complex gameplay are more your cup of tea, Infinity Blade II ($7.49) takes the cake as the most console-like game to date, although PES 2012 - Pro Evolution Soccer (free) is no slouch either, letting you challenge friends in either asynchronous or live multiplayer mode. For car racing fans, it doesn’t get any better than Real Racing 2 ($5.49), especially if you have an iPhone 4S and an Apple TV for taking advantage of the split screen multiplayer race feature.

Is APC trying to tell people who don't have or don't care about iPhone to go and read another tech website? It's about a month that majority of articles are about iPhone. Call me back when you start caring about some tech that is not just iPhone.

A month of articles targeted "only" to WP7/8, Android or to any other technology would be equally boring.

Then why do you come here? You don't want OS X, you don't want Windows, you don't want Android. Has it occurred to you, yet, that this is a tech magazine? Grow-up and move along.

Hey Petert, can you understand what I wrote or is English not your language?
In my comments I said that APC has been writing for a month manly about iPhone (FYI I also own an iPhone) and I said that it would be equally boring if they wrote a month of articles about only another tech (WP7, WP8 or Android).
I am very interested in technology (all technologies), and while I kept coming back to APC for the last month all I could see were articles about one topic, "iPhone".
If there is someone who has to grow up it's you, who fires up and start offending everybody who touches your beloved Apple in APC's posts.

That's the way to go Nathan. When you have not a jot of evidence, make invalid assumptions, lie, distort and twist and offend. In other words, act like a Labor MP.

Yes, I have Apple technology. But I also have Windows and Linux tech and HP Web OS and so on.

Here's an idea for you - if you don't like an article, then don't read it. If that's not clear, then let's try Spanish, "Si no te gusta un artículo, entonces no lo lea."

Well Petert, you accuse others to distort, assume and offend when it's all you do in APC's posts. Now it's clear that you understand English and also Spanish, you hate Lobor MP (I really don't understand what politics has to do with this), you own a few Tech items but still have issues understanding formulated opinion/concept/ideas. So I will not waste time trying to explain things you can't understand.

Quoting petert:
"Here's an idea for you - if you don't like an article, then don't read it"

His complaint, which I share, is that when 10 out of the 15 articles on APCMag's "latest news" page are on the same subject there is such a significant lack of alternatives that "ignoring the articles I'm not interested in" comes dangerously close to "don't waste my time with APCMag anymore".

"When you have not a jot of evidence, make invalid assumptions, lie, distort and twist and offend. In other words, act like a Labor MP."

Tell it to Mal Brough.

Heh. iPhones. Screen so tiny. They look antique now.

petert (Advanced Forumologist):

The physical size of the screen is only one element. Another is the resolution and many Android phones have increased the physical size without increasing the resolution. Case in point is the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Pete I don't know where you got your info from. The resolution of the GS3 has been increased significantly from 400 x 800 in the GS2 to 1280 x 720 in a beautiful 4.8inch Super AMOLED screen. Add to that quad core, a graphics chip that blows everything else away, true 4G data speeds, Micro SD Expansion, NFC and running ICS. The only thing that comes even close to this beast at the moment is the HTC One X.

petert (Advanced Forumologist):

Skip, those are all goods spec's and they account for why the GS3 is considered to be such a good phone. In terms of resolution, I refer to pixels per inch. I'd have to go back and try to find the various sites I was reading, but from memory although the overall number of pixels has increased, so has the screen size and so the resolution has not. There were a few articles I read that noted this aspect of the phone. Again, from memory, the pixel density (and on reflection, perhaps I should have said that instead of resolution, but that's the term the author's used), is just over 300 per inch, which is apparently considerably less that for similar high-end phones. I am not suggesting that this is a major failing or in any way a faiing of the GS3. I'm simply pointing-out that the overall number of pixels is only one potential indicator of quality. Hope that helps.

Yeah mate I understand. ppi or dpi etc... I believe the iPhone still has a very slight advantage in that area over SGIII, although the Sony Experia S beats all, cramming 720 x 1280 into a 4.3" screen. I haven't seen one yet but I understand it's just amazing.
Remember when 1280 x 720 was what a good 13" CRT was displaying? (i'm showing my age). The recent advances in mobile phone tech are amazing! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with next.
