Castle of Magic is a fantastic, brilliant platformer that sets a new standard in the App Store. You simply can’t pass on this one, especially if you’re a fan of Mario and his ilk. Talk about magical!

Toki Tori is a puzzle platform game that is cute, polished and fun. You have 4 worlds and there are 80 levels to get through (collecting eggs as you go) so you will have plenty of gameplay ahead of you!

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).

Assassin’s Creed on the iPhone is a fun, but utterly frustrating experience. The game has the mythological “it” factor, with somewhat charismatic characters and vibrant graphics, but I have a hard time getting past the grey hair inducing platform jumping. If I fall off of just one more platform I think that it will be the loony bin for me.

Doodle Jump is a jumping game reminiscent of PapiJump, but it’s got a unique, sketchy art style that oozes charm. Avoiding aliens and UFOs during math class has never been so much fun!

This is a platform game of the popular tv show Inspector Gadget. Graphics and sound remain true to the series and are really well executed. The game play however, makes this a real disappointment to loyal fans .

Illusion Labs has released yet another innovative and gorgeous game for the iPhone, leveraging the platform’s multitouch and hardware strengths. The question is – will you be playing it to the end?

Platform game with action and logic rolled in to one! You are Archibald, a skateboarder, who fell down a pipe. Find your way out of each pipe (level) by getting from the start position to the exit door. This door can be locked on certain levels and requires you to solve puzzles to unlock it.

De Blob is a good game cursed by bad interface design and an obvious port.

Toy Bot Diaries is one of the first truly great original games for the iPhone OS. It has obviously been designed for this platform from the start.
