I love video games as much as the next guy, as long as the next guy doesn?t spend hours a day grinding through the upper levels of Call of Duty or the latest Super Mario creation. So for casual mobile gamers, as promised in this week?s App Smart column, here?s a list of my top 10 new iPhone gaming apps for 2011.
Scribblenauts Remix ($1)
A beautifully-designed cartoon adventure game for children, Scribblenauts Remix is the mobile version of the popular Nintendo DS title. (For ages 9 and older.)
Where?s My Water? ($1)
A charming, light game in which you help an alligator find water in increasingly complicated conditions. (For ages 4 and older.)
Tiny Tower (free)
Build a tower within the limits of your ever-changing virtual budget. It?s creative problem solving, wrapped in graphically cute packaging. (For ages 4 and older.)
Tiny Wings ($1) An adorable, seductively simple and addictive game involving a hungry bird who must fly at varying trajectories to thrive. (For ages 4 and older.)
TouchGrind BMX ($5) Cool graphics, fun and immersive gameplay that puts you at the controls of a stunt bike. Worth the price, especially because you won?t spend more money on in-game purchases. (For ages 4 and older.)
W.E.L.D.E.R. ($2)
An addictive and innovative word game, for nerds and casual gamers alike. (For ages 4 and older.)
Jetpack Joyride (free)
A jetpack-bearing warrior battles robots from above. Fun graphics with brisk, challenging gameplay. (For ages 9 and older.)
Minecraft ? Pocket Edition ($7, with a free Lite version)
A mobile version of the popular world-building game that?s slightly stripped down, but it will still engage fans of the original. (For ages 4 and older.)
Infiniti Blade II ($7)
Stunning graphics and immersive storylines in a fantasy battle epic.(For ages 9 and up.)
Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation ($7)
For first-person shooter fans, this is the newest leader of the pack. (For ages 17 and older.)
Bonus: best new game of the old-school variety:
?Bejeweled ($1)
Even if a version of this game has been on your phone for years, try this one. It features refined graphics, and offers some nice new twists to the mobile gaming dinosaur. (For ages 4 and older.)
