Urban Ducklings may sound like the subtitle of a really bad Howard the Duck sequel, but it’s actual a pretty nifty new casual arcade game. Thanks to the Iphone’s unique controls, Urban Ducklings gives the classic “cross the road” genre a new twist (pun intended).

TightWire is a challenging, tilt-based game with fantastic graphics that tasks you with guiding a “daredevil” across a tightrope strung between two buildings.

If you’re looking for a unique game with accelerometer controls, give this a look. But expect some control issues.

Let the fun flood in with HydroTilt. A good challenge, now with extra depth introduced by the inclusion of a level editor.

Taxiball is a spin on the Labyrinth genre that has you speeding through narrow city avenues in order to deliver passengers to their destinations. It’s not a must-have, but its charm and personality make it a solid buy for fans of marble-rolling games.

Need For Speed: Undercover is a groundbreaking example of how the larger developers should treat the iPhone. This game has been given very special attention to make it entirely unique to the iPhone, using the accelerometer and video playback capabilities to provide an amazing gameplay experience. Kudos to EA.

Galaxy On Fire is a perfectly playable game, but suffers from general blandness. Everything in the game, except the good commerce system, seems like it had been done before, making this game unfortunately seem like a trip into extreme mediocrity.

Freefall’n is a bland falling-based game with difficult controls and a simple premise. Jumping out of a plane still doesn’t appeal to me, and it takes too long to be a good casual game.

Get ready to lose all productivity. The best iPhone shooter has just been released. Blue Attack!, the follow up to the excellent Blue Defense, is here!

One of the most hotly anticipated games for the iPhone, and likely the last big release of the year is finally here. Rolando the rolling ball platform game has finally hit the App Store virtual shelves. It’s about time.

Scoops could be a perfect casual game

Dashball is a tough, and at times frustrating, breakout type game

Here’s a video from Freeverse showing a beta build of the game:

The game will hopefully be out the first week of November. We like what we see and look forward to getting our hands on it and throwing out a line to two. Keep an eye on our new apps page, feed or twitter stream for release info.

A fun toy — but something you will get tired of quickly.

Aqua Forest by HudsonSoft is a different kind of application — part puzzle, part physics experiment, but all fun.

Igloo Games has released one of the more inventive games for the iPhone OS. It’s a great accelerometer game that’s not to be missed.
