When creating dice you gradually learn what looks best. When something is produced that looks exceptional in motion, it’s a great feeling. I can see this being fun for everyone from young children to fandom enthusiasts to grandmothers who’d rather look at their darlings than standard pips on monopoly dice.

Aw, Craps is an extremely well executed craps game that gives you everything needed to become an expert. The graphics are nice, the interface is simple, and the dice rolling is a thing of beauty. It does sadden me though that the drink lady only comes around in the real life version… maybe that’s something that they will fix on the next iPhone.

WordFu is the latest offering from ngmoco, the makers of Rolando and Topple. It’s a dice-based, kung fu-themed word game that requires you to assemble words from the letters you roll. The addicting and surprisingly deep gameplay make WordFu one of the best word games that we’ve seen in a while.

Lock ‘n’ Roll is a dice game that mixes skill, strategy, and luck to create an addicting title.

The Touchmaster series is generally quite good on the Nintendo DS platform, and while the games here are also good, there isn’t as much variety present. Furthermore, while the games Midway has included aren’t all that exciting, if you are a puzzle fan you’ll definitely find something here to like.

MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition includes updated properties which are far more expensive than those in the classic game. It takes some getting used to not having Boardwalk and Ventura, for example, but Instanbul and London serve as suitable substitues. The game loads quickly, looks great, and generally plays great. Includes modes for one player, multiple players by passing the iPhone around, as well as wifi multi-play (on the same router).

MotionX Poker Quest pushes the original game them forward slightly, but is pretty much the same, solid game.

A great 3D animated dice rolling application — up to 100 dice at a time.

MotionX Poker is a great demonstration of the capabilities of the iPhone OS platform but falls short as a game.
