The iPhone is two days out and our mailboxes are stuffed with news
about the mobile game releases on Apple’s wonder child. Games from well
known developers and well, also not so well known…
“Bringing our game to the new Apple iPhone 3G and iPod touch is a fantastic next step in the evolution of Critter Crunch,” said Capybara President Tom Frencel. “Critter Crunch’s exciting levels and addictive nature will have millions of iPhone users struggling to put the game down.”

“Etch A Sketch on iPhone is a doodler’s dream,” said Craig Holland, CEO of Freeze Tag, “With the innovative Multi-Touch user interface you can actually create artwork by touching both ‘digital’ knobs at the same time, something you can’t do on any other wireless device, or you can just use your fingers to draw directly on the gray canvas.”
"The launch of the Apple App Store allows consumers to easily discover and download games for their mobile devices," said Jill Braff, senior vice president of global publishing, Glu Mobile. "Space Monkey for iPhone and iPod touch utilizes the unique features and capabilities of the platform to incorporate levels of touch and movement, rich graphics and replayability that make for a truly captivating casual game."
