Nacmo’s Ridge Racer franchise returns, with the well loved retro arcade racer spinning its way onto the iPhone. Sure, the graphics are still there, but are the controls?

Pac-Man CE on the iPhone just isn’t quite as cool as the original. The diminished graphics, imperfect controls, and lack of leaderboards help to lessen the experience.

The Simpsons Arcade is a decent side-scrolling brawler, but it’s sorely limited by having only one playable character and no multiplayer options to speak of.

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).

Magnetic Joe 2 is a paid follow-up to its formerly free predecessor that provides a nice mix of arcade action and momentum-based puzzles. It’s fun, light-hearted fare that will please both fans and newcomers.

Baseball Slugger is an extremely fun arcade game with a fantastic online matchup mode. This game is must-buy for baseball fans and non-baseball fans alike.

Dig Dug Remix is really two games in one. We are not only given the classic that was brought to our screens back in 1982 (eek I don’t remember – honest) but also the remix version which is thankfully juiced up a bit. In this case, I am definitely preferring the remix to the classic.

SEGA brings Sonic the Hedgehog to the iPhone. Loop dee loops, dives and jumps are all here in the quest to stop the evil Dr. Eggman and his world domination scheme. Springs, traps, bridges and all sorts of monsters are there to stop you all the while collecting rings (cha ching).

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.

The graphics are bad, the frame rates are bad, the gameplay is bad, the sound gets annoying because the graphics and the gameplay are so bad, and the story is hokey. All this, for only $5.99!

Freeballin’ is IUGO’s foray into the world of pinball. The tables are a bit simplistic for my tastes, and there’s no bump feature, but on the whole it’s a fun, fast-paced pinball incarnation with gorgeous graphics and a variety of hidden levels.

Galcon is an excellent space-themed strategy game that requires lightning-quick decisions and delivers some great gameplay. Definitely a must-have!

10 Balls, 7 Cups presents an arcade skeeball experience with a flippant ticket system (pet dragon, anyone?). It’s a polished, simple game with great graphics, and perfect for wasting time. Just don’t expect anything complicated.

Time Crisis Strike is a mediocre port of an arcade gaming classic. It does possess decent graphics and relatively good controls, but the lack of a story, bonus weapons, and those big arcade guns make the game become quite stale.

Nnooo has released a great game in Pop. A bubble popping arcade game frenzy with great graphics, sounds, and music. Great finish on this game shows it’s not just another port dumped on the iPhone.

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.

Arcade style basketball scoring game has good graphics but moderate replay value.

Nanosaur 2 is a well developed flying/shooting arcade game

Geomex is a great color / pattern matching game with plenty of variation to give it value

Pinch ‘n Pop is a quick, fun, and beautiful arcade color matching game

Raging Thunder, the current cream of the crop for racing games on the iPhone really shines!

This retro racing game leaves me wishing for the original

Crash Nitro Kart is a good arcade racing game held back by mediocre graphics

Asphalt 4 is pure racing goodness for the iPhone
